It’s been a few years since Manning announced his retirement from professional football, so we ask: What has been Manning up to these years? And where does he live now?
Peyton Manning, his wife, and twins live in Denver, Colorado in a very large mansion. Manning bought this amazing house back in 2012 after he signed with the Broncos.
Talented people like Peyton Manning’s are scarce to witness in life. As preparations for the Super Bowl are around the corner, we would like to remember the sheriff’s legacy and find out more about his life.
A Big House for the Family
After playing for years with the Colts, Peyton left the franchise to have less weight on his shoulders. In 2012, he signed a five-year contract with the Broncos for $96 million and he moved to Denver with his wife.
They bought a fancy mansion for $4.575 million in Denver, where they still live and raise their two children, Marshall and Mosley.
The house is around 16,464 square feet and has 7 bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms, and 3 half bathrooms. The property also came with 3.4 acres of land, which means that he has plenty of space to teach kids, Marshall and Mosley, how to throw the ball.
The house is located in Cherry Hills Village, a nice and quiet little spot that’s a bit isolated from the city. Manning’s home also has some luxurious amenities like a wine cellar, a landscaped garden, and even an elevator.
The huge backyard regularly holds gatherings with the rest of the Manning family, such as Peyton’s father and Eli, his little brother. These two were famous football players as well; it looks like the love for the sport and the talent to be a great quarterback is within Manning’s blood.
18 Seasons as Pro NFL Player

Manning was the first quarterback to take two different teams to the Super Bowl and win 1 championship with each franchise. The first time he played with the Indianapolis Colts in 2006, and surprisingly they won the Super Bowl after 30 years of bad luck.
Manning won his next Super Bowl title 9 years later, but this time it was with the Denver Broncos. This victory marked his astounding way to say goodbye to the NFL.
As an individual player, he also won many awards; for example, he won 5 NFL MVP awards. The NHL selected him for 14 Pro Bowls and has honored him with 7 First-Team All-Pro selections too.
The record for most career passing touchdowns is his, with 539 throws in his entire career. Besides that, he was recently named the 3rd best quarterback in history by the NFL.
The sportsman has a pretty long list of achievements, but nothing beats the feeling when fans call him “The Sheriff,” as he’s the one who makes the rules in the field. He often made an audible before every snap, changing strategies and taking opponents by surprise.
Many sports experts agree that Manning is one of the most intelligent, if not the most intelligent, quarterbacks that ever played in the NFL.
