Richard Gere Sells Connecticut Estate for Nearly $11 Million, Plans Move to Spain
Richard Gere, the celebrated actor known for roles in films like *Pretty Woman* and *Chicago*, has sold his Connecticut estate for nearly $11 million, according to PEOPLE. The 75-year-old actor is now preparing to relocate to Spain with his wife, Alejandra Silva, and their family.
Gere purchased the sprawling **New Canaan property** in 2022 for $10.8 million, which was just slightly more than the price he recently sold it for. The estate was previously owned by singer-songwriters **Paul Simon** and **Edie Brickell**, who had bought it for $16.5 million, marking a significant loss on their sale.
The property, built in 1938, sits on **32 acres** of land and includes **six bedrooms**, **11 bathrooms**, a pool, multiple gardens, and a charming **three-bedroom guest cottage**. Gere had originally considered turning the estate into a farm during his time there with Silva, but now with plans to move overseas, the sale marks the end of that chapter.
Gere, who married Silva in 2018, has lived in the U.S. with his wife since then. Silva, originally from Spain, has always hoped to return to be closer to her family. This move to Spain will bring them closer to her roots and offer a new adventure for the couple.
This marks Gere’s third marriage, and he seems eager to begin this next phase of life in Spain, a place that holds significant meaning for his family. It’s clear that the actor’s move is about more than just a change of scenery—it’s about family, connection, and new beginnings.
