A chapter comes to a close for George Clooney as he lists his iconic Villa Oleandra in Lake Como, Italy, for sale. With a listing price of $107 million, the actor is parting with a property he acquired in 2002 for just $10 million.
This impending sale not only suggests a notable financial gain for Clooney but also marks the culmination of years filled with treasured memories.
Villa Oleandra, with its grand 25 rooms, top-notch facilities, and panoramic views of Lake Como, has been a haven for many celebrities over the years. Stars including Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Jennifer Lopez, and Ben Affleck have all been guests, further elevating the villa’s prominence.
Rumblings about the villa’s sale have been ongoing for several years, with the constant paparazzi attention frequently cited as a potential cause. Although the Clooneys were spotted savoring their recent summer stay, the actual reasons behind the decision to sell have not been clarified. Page Six noted that these rumors began taking shape around 2010.
In 2021, the Clooneys made another significant property acquisition: the Domaine du Canadel in France. This expansive 425-acre wine estate has led many to speculate that it might serve as the couple’s new hideaway from the spotlight.
In the past, Clooney had expressed confidence that the Lake Como villa could be valued at around $100 million. With its current listing, the industry watches with interest to see if it achieves the set price.
