    Christopher Lloyd’s Ocean-View Santa Barbara Retreat Lists for $6.4 Million

    by

    Back in 2017, after they rebuilt and subsequently sold their longtime Montecito home that had been destroyed in a 2008 wildfire, veteran TV and film actor Christopher Lloyd and his wife Lisa doled out $2.5 million for a stark contemporary residence in neighboring Santa Barbara. Though they loved the location, with its picturesque views of the Pacific, Channel Islands, local harbor, and surrounding mountains, they weren’t really feeling the house. So the couple set out to change its entire vibe, working with DesignARC, Arcadia Studio, and artist Patti Grant to transform the place into a “beautiful, private, creative, and peaceful” sanctuary.

    “I wanted the landscape and the interiors to flow together, which wasn’t the case when we purchased it,” said Lisa, a former real estate agent and lifelong design enthusiast who has remodeled more than half a dozen of her own houses. “Now the home is filled with calm colors, warm wood floors, and soft, rounded edges. What was once cold and hard contemporary has become soothing, flowing, and serene.”

    Fast-forward eight years, and the sleekly revamped estate has now returned to the market for nearly $6.4 million. Ron Brand and Arthur Kalayjian of Compass Montecito share the listing.

    Originally built in 2006 and since extensively remodeled not once but twice, the property is anchored by a single-level abode with two bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 2,300 square feet. Warm, tranquil details abound in the form of hardwood floors and Roman clay plaster walls that add depth and texture, while the primary bedroom is now adorned with custom plaster finishes, and its bath sports mitered glass walls overlooking a protected public park.

    Perched on a knoll amid six acres of terraced land, within an exclusive enclave off West Mountain Drive and just a few minutes away from the shops and eateries of Montecito’s Upper and Lower villages, the white stucco structure is hidden away behind gates and lush foliage. The driveway empties out at a brick-clad motor court, with a covered entryway and steps leading to the front door.

     Almost every room of the house opens to patios and gardens overlooking scenic vistas.

    Once inside, a small foyer flows to a sunken fireside living room boasting a soaring wood-beam ceiling dotted with large woven rattan pendant lights and sliding glass doors spilling outside. An adjacent dining area connects to the kitchen, which is outfitted with white oak cabinetry, veined-marble countertops, top-tier appliances, a breakfast bar, and an accompanying butler’s pantry.

    Outdoors, the sprawling grounds are laced with bluestone hardscaping, mature olive trees, tall hedges, and numerous alfresco lounging and entertaining terraces. And just across from the main home is a two-car garage, plus a 1,165-square-foot guest cottage with a living/creative space, a bedroom, and two baths.

    “This home has been a special place for us, our sanctuary,” said Lloyd, who’s most known for his iconic roles as eccentric inventor Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown in the Back to the Future movie franchise and, before that, as quirky driver Jim Ignatowski on the 1970s TV series Taxi. “Lisa and her creative team took great care in every detail, wanting to create a space that feels restorative and peaceful the moment you walk through the door.”

      Jackie Gleason’s Iconic ‘Mothership’ UFO Home Lists for $5.5 Million

      by

      It was part party palace, part personal sanctuary, and all spectacle. Now, Jackie Gleason’s legendary estate in New York‘s picturesque Hudson Valley—better known as the Mothership—has reemerged for sale at $5.5 million with Corcoran’s Heidi Henshaw.

      Commissioned by the late comedian and musician as a retreat from filming the groundbreaking 1950s sitcom The Honeymooners, the spaceship-like residence in Cortlandt Manor is one of the most unusual homes ever built for a Hollywood icon. Gleason, famously fascinated with UFOs and metaphysical theory, dreamed up the circular home that embodied futuristic ambition while showcasing old-fashioned craftsmanship.

      Completed in 1959, the copper-roofed Mothership was designed by architect Robert Cika.

      Chris Kiely/Jump Visual

      To execute his otherworldly vision, Gleason tapped architect Robert Cika, a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright, who enlisted a Scandinavian shipbuilder to help realize the extraordinary design. At least some of the prefabrication work took place inside an airplane hangar before the copper-roofed house was assembled on-site. It took five years and a reported $650,000, partly underwritten by Gleason’s bosses at CBS, before the Mothership was completed in 1959.

      The mid-century masterpiece is defined by its curving, organic architecture: there are no right angles anywhere in the 3,950-square-foot main residence. Banks of floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interiors with light, while the vaulted wooden ceiling evokes the hull of a ship and metal vents mimic stylized fish. Gleason even purchased an entire marble quarry in Italy to ensure the finest stone for the home’s flooring and massive fireplaces—some slabs so large they had to be delivered to the site by helicopter.

      The circular home has no right angles and soaring boat-like ceilings.

      James Gagliardi

      The circular plan includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, one half bathroom, a curved stainless-steel kitchen, a dining room, a spacious living area, and a circular library and office. Many original details, including built-in cabinetry, closets, and bespoke furnishings, remain intact.

      The home was conceived as much for entertainment as for solitude. Gleason’s late-night soirées reportedly drew the likes of Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, and even President Richard Nixon. Three dramatic swooping bars, a marble dance floor, and a game room with a shuffleboard table speak to its party-ready pedigree. Yet the Mothership also offers serenity, seclusion, and an intimate connection to the natural world, with panoramic views of its wooded 8.6-acre setting just an hour north of Manhattan.

      The three-bedroom home features curved walls of glass and massive marble fireplaces.

      James Gagliardi

      The estate includes two additional dwellings: a smaller, secondary “spaceship,” long used as a bunkhouse and glamping spot, and the Barracks, a charming (and far more conventional) 1930s stone Colonial Revival home that functions as a guesthouse. A cultivated vegetable and herb garden, plus a gardening shed, round out the retreat.

      The estate last traded hands in 1976 for just $150,000, when CBS sold the property following Gleason’s move to Florida. It briefly surfaced for sale back in 2018 for $12 million but never sold.

      Late Colts Owner Jim Irsay’s Indiana Lake House Sails on the Market at $20 Million

      by

      Now that his $12 million estate in the suburban city of Carmel, Indiana, has snagged a buyer after only a few short days on the market, the family of Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has also decided to put their late patriarch’s vacation retreat on the shores of Lake Maxinkuckee up for sale. The waterfront spread near the northern Indiana town of Culver is listed for a speck under $20 million with Andrea Kelly of Encore Sotheby’s International Realty.

      Irsay, who passed away in May on what would have been his 65th birthday, acquired the six-acre property in 2000 for $6.2 million and subsequently custom built a multi-structure compound. Set amid two separate parcels linked by a 350-foot underground tunnel beneath a public road, the entire 35,000-square-foot spread features a European-inspired main home, plus a guesthouse accompanied by wellness and entertainment buildings.

      A fireside study covered in warm wood paneling has a ceiling painted with a night sky.

      Within the primary dwelling, crafted of stone and wood and capped by a shingled mansard roof, are eight bedrooms and 12 baths in roughly 14,000 square feet across four levels boasting partial elevator access, high timber-framed ceilings, hand-painted details, four fireplaces, several screened porches, and a walkout lower level. Other highlights include a fireside living room sporting large expanses of glass offering picturesque water vistas, as well as a cozy wood-paneled study and a spacious eat-in kitchen.

      In addition to the guesthouse, which has an attached eight-car garage, an entertainment complex is decked out with a club-style bar that can seat up to 20, a four-lane bowling alley, an arcade, and an indoor shooting range, while the wellness center comes with an indoor pool and spa, a fireside lounge, and steam and fitness areas. Retractable doors open out to the grounds, which host a fire pit, a sand volleyball court, and a 4,000-square-foot dock with two boat slips and three solar-powered lifts on 250 feet of lake frontage.

      Retractable doors open the indoor pool pavilion to the scenic lakeside grounds.

      Irsay, who was worth a reported $4.8 billion per Forbes, was principal owner, chairman, and CEO of the Colts from 1997 until his death. The team is now under the ownership of his three daughters, Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt, and Kalen Jackson, who told The Wall Street Journal that the lake house has been a place of peace, joy, and connection for decades.

      “This property has been a quiet retreat from the busyness of life, a place where we’ve gathered as a family, celebrated milestones, and created some of our most cherished memories,” they said. “From sunrise boat rides to long summer evenings on the porch, every corner of the property holds a story. We learned to fish off the dock, roasted marshmallows under the stars, and shared countless laughs around the kitchen table.”

      Rosie O’Donnell’s Onetime Miami Beach Mansion Sells for $36 Million

      by

      A sprawling property on Miami Beach‘s celeb-studded Star Island that was previously owned by Rosie O’Donnell has officially sold to Rockstar Energy founder Russell Weiner for $36 million.

      That’s a lot less than the family of now-deceased owners David and Linda Frankel originally wanted, but it’s still $19.5 million more than the $16.5 million the couple—he a doctor and real estate investor, and she a former Vogue fashion editor and the sister of broadcast journalist Diana Sawyer—paid O’Donnell for the Mediterranean-style mansion 12 years ago. It’s also a whopping $29 million more than the comedian and talk show host bought the place for back in 1999.

      A spacious living area opens to a veranda via wood-trimmed French doors.

      The Frankels gave the 1920s residence an extensive makeover during their tenure, and, after hitting the market in late 2024 with a hefty $54 million ask and then undergoing a price drop to $48 million, the house sold at a substantial discount to Weiner, who plans to expand and renovate the estate to around 15,000 square feet and add luxury amenities like a spa, gym, cabana, and padel court. Both sides of the deal were repped by Liz Hogan of Compass.

      Tucked away behind a gated motor court on over an acre, the residence features a main home and two separate guesthouses, for a total of eight bedrooms and 11 baths in roughly 11,000 square feet. There’s also a freeform pool with a slide and an air-conditioned four-car garage, plus a boathouse and a private dock sporting a 40,000-pound boat lift along more than 200 feet of Biscayne Bay frontage.

      Inside the primary dwelling, a large living area sports wood-trimmed French doors opening out to a covered veranda. A formal dining room flows to an updated kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island, high-end Miele, Viking, and Sub-Zero appliances, and a breakfast nook. A luxe primary suite flaunts a balcony and an office, while the upper level holds an additional kitchen and a family room.

      O’Donnell, who recently relocated to Ireland with her child Clay because of American politics, finally offloaded her New York City penthouse in Midtown Manhattan’s Turtle Bay neighborhood in April for around $7 million after two years on the market. As for Weiner, who sold Rockstar Energy to PepsiCo in 2020 for $3.9 billion, his holdings include a home in L.A.’s illustrious Beverly Park enclave that he’s owned since 2007 and an investment property in the Hollywood Hills.

      True to its name, Star Island has had many high-profile people take up residence behind its guarded gate through the years. Current owners within the exclusive enclave are hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin, who has quietly spent some $169 million on seven contiguous parcels spanning over six acres since 2023, as well as musicians Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Rick Ross, and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Earlier this year, Russian-born developer Vlad Doronin sold his estate that once belonged to retired NBA star Shaquille O’Neal for a record-breaking $120 million.

      Inside Sylvester Stallone’s Newly Renovated Palm Beach Estate

      by

      When it comes to packing up and moving to one of Florida’s finer ZIP codes, Sylvester Stallone was ahead of the current trend, scooping up an estate facing the Intracoastal Waterway near the northern tip of Palm Beach almost five years ago.

      After settling in and getting to know the ins and outs of the place, Stone and his wife, Jennifer Flavin, who plunked down nearly $35.5 million for the slightly more than one-acre spread, have recently completed a 10-month overhaul with RWB Construction Management handling the building and South Florida’s Marc-Michaels Interior Design teaming up with English designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard on the interiors. 

      While dazzling bits of Hollywood glamour are peppered throughout, at its core, this is a family home that lends itself to a relaxed lifestyle jampacked with friends and pets. Furnishings are intentionally sturdy and swaddled in luxe but hardy fabrics to withstand spills and sandy paws. Also prioritized was creating an appropriate backdrop for the couple’s always-in-rotation collection of contemporary art. Here, there are Damian Hirsts and Andy Warhols hanging on the walls, while dog toys are scattered on the floor and bare feet are propped up on coffee tables.

      Furnishings throughout the 13,000-square-foot home are plush, comfortable, and pet-friendly.

      RWB Concierge Builder

      Customizations include a gleaming walk-in wet bar with several climate-controlled glass cases for storing and displaying wine and, for the famous cigar aficionado, a glass-fronted humidor. Elsewhere, a state-of-the-art home cinema is decked out with acoustics and technology that rival a studio screening room, and in the club room, a trio of Oscars won by the original 1976 film Rocky, which made Stallone an international icon, stands with other industry accolades on a flannel-grey carved stone fireplace set against a wall upholstered in rivet-lined caramel leather.

      Stone and Flavin’s three daughters are all in their 20s now (Stallone has two older sons, one who died in 2012 of heart disease), and the sprawling home allows the entire Stallone clan (and more) to comfortably gather en masse for both special occasions and not-so-special occasions.

      The Flemish Revival compound spans several buildings capped by distinctive crow-stepped gables. Surrounding the keyhole-shaped pool are the two-story main house that opens to ocean-facing verandas, an open-air pavilion with a fireplace, and a freestanding guest suite. A separate guesthouse is positioned in a lush garden of its own with direct beach access. In all, seven bedrooms and 10 baths, plus a couple of powder rooms, are sprinkled across the property.

      Plush lawns and thickets of towering palms unite the various structures, while a demilune hot tub faces the water alongside a stone terrace that steps down to the estate’s private 250-plus-foot crescent beach. Off to the side is a private dock for getting out on the water.

      Stallone and Flavin have made several significant real estate moves over the last few years. They sold their longtime Beverly Hills estate in 2022 for $58 million to Adele, who proceeded to practically tear the whole thing down before rebuilding it more to her liking, and the following year they took a $1 mllion loss when musician John Fogerty paid $17 million for a contemporary farmhouse-style mansion they briefly owned in the star-studded Hidden Hills community in L.A.’s northwestern suburbs. And then, last year, the Tulsa King star ponied up $25 million in cash for an elegantly appointed turnkey residence in the Hamptons.

      B-52s Singer Kate Pierson Lists Her Creative Woodstock Retreat

      by

      Got some legal tender burning a hole in your proverbial pocket? Well, you might just want to roam on over to this little old place where everyone can get together and enjoy some mint juleps with a decadent pairing of quiche Lorraine and rock lobster!

      Almost three decades after the B-52s singer and founding member Kate Pierson doled out a mere $125,000 for the rustic cabin in Upstate New York‘s Lake Hill community near Woodstock, she and her longtime artist wife Monica Coleman have now decided to part ways with the two-acre spread nestled in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. The asking price is a relatively affordable $750,000, with Diana Polack and Jason Nadeau at the Upstate Curious Team of Compass holding the listing.

      The living room is anchored by a stone fireplace that stretches to the wood-beam ceiling.

      Originally built in the early 1950s and updated during the couple’s tenure, the clapboard-sided and shingle-roof structure is known as Kate’s Lazy Cabin. Inside, three bedrooms and two baths are packed into roughly 1,300 square feet of eclectically stylish living space, all of it tinged with vintage and artistic touches from cozy nooks to kitschy knickknacks.

      A gated entrance leads to a front porch, which has a red-hued door opening into a spacious knotty pine-paneled living room sporting a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a row of large multi-paned windows, and a dining area tucked off to the side. A Native American-style painted door leads to the vaulted galley kitchen, which is spotlighted by a center island topped with an orange pendant light and a creamy ceramic backsplash. Sliding doors in the breakfast nook lead out to a deck with built-in seating.

      A built-in seating area on a deck next to the wooded grounds is an ideal spot for morning coffee.

      The bedrooms share a couple of newly renovated baths, while the forested grounds are fully fenced and set along Mink Hollow Road, which meanders along Beaver Kill, a trout fishing stream, and is just minutes away from Ulster County’s natural Cooper Lake. All in all, it’s the perfect place to follow your bliss.

      This appears to be the last piece in an assemblage of bicoastal properties the 77-year-old Love Shack crooner has owned for decades under the Lazy Lodging moniker. Pierson previously operated a 1950s boutique motel complex on 6.5 acres in the Woodstock area—it was called Kate’s Lazy Meadow—that traded hands in summer 2021 for $2.25 million. Last year, she also sold Kate’s Lazy Desert, a glamping destination with Airstream trailers in California’s Mojave Desert, for around $666,000. The couple reportedly still maintains a beach house in the outer Cape Cod area of Massachusetts that goes by Kate’s Lazy Cape.

      Inside Reese Witherspoon’s $36 Million Property Portfolio

      by

      Reese Witherspoon may have started as America’s sweetheart, but she’s since become a Hollywood powerhouse with serious business and real estate savvy. Over the past three decades, she’s built a career that spans acting, producing, and entrepreneurship, moving seamlessly between box-office hits, prestige television, and passion projects. That success has also translated into some of the industry’s top paychecks—at least $1 million per episode for television, including $1.2 million for The Morning Show, which she also produces.

      In 2012, the Legally Blonde star cofounded Pacific Standard, the company behind acclaimed films like Wild and Gone Girl. Four years later, she transformed it into Hello Sunshine, a women-driven media giant. In 2021, the company was sold for over $900 million to a Blackstone-backed media firm, with Witherspoon joining the board, staying involved in daily operations, and retaining significant equity. The company has delivered hits like Big Little Lies and Little Fires Everywhere and developed high-profile adaptations, including Where the Crawdads Sing and Netflix’s From Scratch.

      Her empire also extends to Reese’s Book Club, which counts 2.1 million followers and has seen 42 of its 50 picks land on The New York Times Best Sellers list—providing a built-in audience for future screen projects.

      Off-screen, the Academy Award winner has built a reputation as a real estate aficionado, buying, selling, and flipping homes across Los Angeles and her hometown of Nashville for the past two decades. Much like fellow celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres, she’s developed a knack for turning high-end properties into investments. In recent years alone, she’s sold a Los Angeles property for $21.5 million—after paying under $16 million in 2020—and offloaded a Nashville home for nearly double what she paid in 2018.

      Many of these properties aren’t full-time residences but rather investments, retreats, or future projects. Still, each reflects Witherspoon’s sharp eye for style, comfort, and long-term value. From storybook Southern estates to sleek West Coast escapes and Bahamian hideaways, the homes of her collection are covered in more detail below.

      Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo’s Former Oceanfront Home in Hawaii Can Be Yours for $5 Million

      by

      Life is too short, so why waste precious time when it comes to snapping us this idyllic coastal retreat? The oceanfront oasis in Hawaii that Pat Benatar and Neil “Spyder” Giraldo once called home has once again surfaced for sale on the eastern end of Maui near the remote town of Hana, where the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers were married in the early 1980s. The asking price is a dash under $5 million, with Christopher Barca and Bradley Newton of Compass sharing the listing.

      With a main home and a guest suite offering up a total of three bedrooms and four baths in roughly 3,300 square feet, the secluded spread has more than enough room for any like-minded power couple to release their inner fantasy while enjoying picturesque views stretching from the Big Island to the Haleakala Crater. Famously owned by the “Heartbreaker” singer and her longtime guitarist husband for around 17 years, records show the plantation-style residence was sold by the duo in 2017 for $3.1 million and last traded hands in early 2020 for $3.2 million.

      A lanai off the great room is the perfect spot to dine amid scenic Pacific vistas.

      Perched atop a private cove on an acre-plus parcel fronting Waikoloa’s Black Sand Beach, the primary dwelling was completed in 2002 and showcases travertine tile floors, soaring ceilings bolstered by skylights, wood-paneled walls, and vast expanses of glass.

      Upon entry, an open-concept great room features a living room equipped with a bamboo-clad wet bar, a dining area alongside a built-in buffet, and a kitchen boasting granite countertops, a glossy white subway tile backsplash, and high-end Viking and Sub-Zero appliances. Collapsible doors flow seamlessly to a lanai ideal for alfresco dining. The vaulted primary bedroom sports an inviting bath with a pedestal soaking tub and access to a large outdoor lava rock shower, while a cupola up top has two separate decks.

      In addition to a recording studio-turned-guest suite sitting above a detached two-car garage, the lush grounds are dotted with coconut trees and hold manicured gardens lined with Hawaii-inspired rock walls and lounge areas overlooking sweeping Pacific vistas. An added bonus: The retreat is set amid Hana’s pristine waterfalls, freshwater pools, and hiking spots, and just minutes away from the Waioka Pond (aka, the Venus Pool) and popular Hamoa Beach.

      Benatar and Giraldo acquired the Hawaii property in 2000 for $550,000 and then began designing and building the main house. Five years later, they doled out $400,000 more for the vacant parcel next door, which they used to host barbecues, play bocce ball, and hit golf balls. The pair currently own two homes in the Los Angeles area, one a Malibu equestrian ranch they bought in 2006 for $1.6 million and another in Hidden Hills they picked up in 2019 for $4 million.

      The Pharma Exec Behind Mounjaro Lists His 117-Acre Wyoming Ranch for $40 Million

      by

      A sprawling Wyoming ranch long owned by retired Eli Lilly Research Labs president Dr. Jan Lundberg has just hit the market. Perched on a ridgeline above the picturesque Jackson Hole Valley surrounded by the Teton Range, about 15 minutes from downtown Jackson, the 117-acre spread is for sale at a dash under $40 million. Latham Jenkins of Live Water Properties holds the listing.

      Records show that the current pharmaceutical consultant—a key figure behind the development of the diabetes-turned-weight-loss drug Mounjaro—and his longtime wife Anna acquired the property in 2021. Set within the exclusive 500-acre Riva Ridge community and described as a “once-in-a-generation holding,” the compound was originally built in 2009.

      Five en suite bedrooms and nine baths can be found in the hand-hewn log and stone-accented main lodge, which has a little more than 12,700 square feet across three levels. In addition to a soaring window-lined great room topped by a rustic antler chandelier and warmed by a massive fireplace encased in boulders, other highlights include a two-story library and a formal dining room that flows to a gourmet kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry, dual islands, Wolf appliances, and a fireside breakfast banquette.

      Elsewhere is a primary suite featuring a private deck and an inviting bath spotlighted by a sculpted marble soaking tub, plus an 1,800-bottle wine cellar with a tasting room, a tiered movie theater, a bar-equipped game room, and a gym with a sauna and steam room. A heated indoor pool and spa has accordion-style glass doors opening out to a patio overlooking one of three ponds.

      Also on the completely off-grid estate is an underground tunnel that leads from the main house to a one-bedroom, one-bath guest suite atop a three-car garage that’s also outfitted with a greenhouse and a 45-kilowatt generator. There’s also a detached four-bedroom, four-bath guesthouse. And with nearly 70 percent of the overall acreage under a conservation easement that prevents development, the property also ensures wide-open views paired with plenty of elk, deer, moose, and raptor sightings.

      Since retiring from Eli Lilly in 2018, the biopharmaceutical veteran has been using expertise to drive drug discovery and development at biotech firms, pharmaceutical companies, and academic institutions. In addition to their Wyoming estate, the couple also owns a waterfront home in Florida that serves as their primary residence.
