Kimi Raikkonen has been largely absent from the F1 paddock since retiring from the sport at the end of the 2021 season, and the legendary Finn will have spent a large chunk of his newly available free time in his remarkable £18million ($24m) mansion. The 2007 F1 world champion purchased his current abode, which is located in the village of Baar, just outside of Zurich, in 2009 for a price of £15m ($20.5m).

With the Alps always visible and the Zug lake based down below, the property offers stunning views to . In a style befitting Raikkonen's cool and reserved personality, the house boasts a sleek and classy glass facade and has bulletproof glass with a private internal lift, drawing comparisons with the lair of a James Bond villain.

The Swiss villa also contains a number of other amenities, allowing the Raikkonen family to both relax and stay in shape away from the public eye. The property boasts an indoor and outdoor pool, perfect for all weather conditions, as well as a gym, complete with a rowing machine and gymnastic rings.

Intriguingly, the property has an unusual name attached to it - Villa Butterfly - although the story behind this moniker has never been made public. It was confirmed by the 21-time Grand Prix winner when he discussed the move during his racing days.

"We searched for about five years for a property where we could build our own house," he explained. "Then we found Villa Butterfly, which was ready for move-in and had a name too."

While Raikkonen's involvement in the F1 paddock has been minimal since calling time on his Alfa Romeo stint at the end of the 2021 campaign, he remained active in the motorsport community until 2023.

The former Ferrari ace made two appearances with the Trackhouse Racing outfit, competing in road course events at Watkins Glen in 2022 and at Circuit of the Americas in 2023. However, unlike Shane Van Gisbergen in 2025, these appearances didn't lead to a full-time drive with Justin Marks' organisation.

"I don't know... I mean, nobody knows," Raikkonen said when asked about his NASCAR future after the race. "It's such a shame how it went in the end, but I think we did the right thing. We were there. But then on the restart, it's how it was. We'll see what the future brings.

"Right now, I have no clue. It was a long race. Our cool suit didn't work half of the race, it stopped working. So it was quite hot in the car. It was fun going through the field, but it was a bit intense on the restarts."
