**NEW CANAAN, CT –** Oscar-winning actor Richard Gere has put his sprawling New Canaan estate on the market for $10.75 million, according to People magazine. The 32-acre property, purchased last year for $10.8 million from singer-songwriters Paul Simon and Edie Brickell, boasts a six-bedroom, eleven-bathroom home, pool, extensive gardens, and period details from its 1938 construction.
Gere, who had reportedly planned to use the property for low-impact farming, is relocating to Madrid, Spain, with his wife Alejandra Silva. In an interview with Vanity Fair Spain, Gere cited a desire to be closer to Silva’s family as the reason for the move. The couple recently purchased a luxurious three-story mansion in Madrid, complete with a heated pool and wine cellar, for €11 million. This move marks a significant change for the Hollywood star, who is leaving behind his Connecticut country life for a new chapter in Spain.
