Acclaimed American actor Richard Gere has parted ways with his stunning Connecticut estate, selling it for a whopping $10.95 million, as reported by PEOPLE. This move marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the 75-year-old actor’s life, as he prepares to relocate to Spain.
Gere’s connection to the New Canaan property was brief, having purchased it in 2022 from musical power couple Paul Simon and Edie Brickell for $10.8 million. Interestingly, Simon and Brickell had originally acquired the estate for $16.5 million, taking a substantial loss.
During his two-year residency, Gere shared the picturesque property with his wife, Alejandra Silva, 41. The couple had once considered transforming the 1938-built estate into a farm. The expansive property boasts six bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a pool, lush gardens, and a charming three-bedroom guest cottage, all set amidst 32 acres of serene landscape.
Gere’s decision to sell stems from his desire to be closer to his wife’s Spanish roots. Married since 2018, the couple seeks to reconnect with Silva’s family in Spain. This move marks Gere’s third marriage, and his enthusiasm for this new chapter is palpable.
As Gere embarks on this exciting journey, fans and admirers alike will watch with interest, eager to see what the future holds for this beloved actor. With his Connecticut estate now sold, Gere is poised to write the next chapter of his life in the beautiful Spanish countryside.
