Richard Gere, 75, and wife Alejandra, 41, sell Connecticut ranch for $10.75M ahead of move to Spain
Richard Gere and his wife Alejandra Silva have sold their sprawling Connecticut ranch following news of their planned move to Spain.
The 75-year-old actor and 41-year-old publicist, who recently shared a romantic moment at the Zurich Film Festival, sold the nearly two-acre New Canaan estate for $10.75 million, according to Mansion Global.
The property features two separate residences: a charming 1938 main house with five bedrooms and a cozy three-bedroom cottage designed by famed architect Harold R. Sleeper, per the outlet.
The grounds create a serene escape, complete with a patio, swimming pool, lush, perennial gardens, and woodland trails that wind through a rock-lined stream, a natural pond, and a private waterfall.
Gere and Silva bought the house two years ago from music icon Paul Simon and his wife Edie Brickell.

In April, Richard revealed to Vanity Fair Spain that after spending the first six years of his marriage in the United States, he and his wife are ready to embrace a new chapter by moving to her native Spain.
“She was very generous in giving me six years in my world, so I think it’s only fair that I give her at least six more years in hers,” he told the magazine.
They move with their two sons Alexander, five, and James, four.
Before moving to Connecticut, Gere owned an estate in the celebrity-favorite area of Pound Ridge, New York, about an hour’s drive from Manhattan.
According to Mansion Global, he sold that property for $28 million in May 2022, just two months before purchasing his New Canaan home.
Richard and Alejandra’s romance began in 2014, when they reconnected in Italy after first meeting through a mutual friend years earlier.
Despite their 34-year age difference, the two quickly bonded over their shared passions for humanitarian work and spirituality.
They married in 2018 in a private ceremony at Gere’s estate in upstate New York.
