Hollywood actor Richard Gere has reportedly sold his luxurious Connecticut estate for $11 million, signaling his intention to leave the United States. The sprawling property, located in the quiet town of North Salem, offers scenic views of the surrounding countryside and boasts over 50 acres of land. The estate, which Gere had owned for several years, features a grand main house, guesthouses, a pool, and extensive gardens, reflecting the actor’s taste for tranquility and seclusion.
The sale of the property marks a significant step in Gere’s personal life. Sources close to the actor suggest that he plans to relocate abroad, though the specific destination remains unclear. The 74-year-old star, best known for his roles in iconic films such as *Pretty Woman* and *Chicago*, has long been known for his philanthropic work and interest in Tibetan culture. He is married to Spanish publicist Alejandra Silva, and the couple has been living in various international locations in recent years.
The Connecticut property, which was originally listed for $28 million, had been on the market for several years before the final sale. It is understood that the buyer is a private individual who seeks a quiet, upscale retreat in the picturesque region of New York’s Hudson Valley.
Gere’s departure and the sale of the estate come as a surprise to many, though the actor has maintained a relatively low profile in recent years, focusing on family life and humanitarian causes.
