Johnny Depp puts entire French village up for sale

Hot Property | Johnny Depp

Sometimes it takes a village. For Johnny Depp, make that an entire village.

The actor has put his “estate” in Plan de la Tour, France, on the market at close to $26 million.

About 17 miles from Saint Tropez, the 37-acre property includes a complete Provencal village of stone-built houses dating back more than 200 years.

Since buying the property in 2001, Depp has restored and decorated the homes one by one, spending more than $10 million on improvements.

He converted a church to a guesthouse and installed a wine-tasting cave that looks like a set from “The Pirates of the Caribbean” film series. The star has used the retreat as his family getaway

Hot Property | Johnny Depp
Actor Johnny Depp has listed his 37-acre estate in Plan de la Tour, France, for sale at close to $26 million.
The more than one dozen structures include a main house, several guest cottages, a chapel, a bar and restaurant, a workshop/garage and a staff house. The 10,760-square-foot Bohemian-style living space contains more than 12 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms.

A hunter’s cabin, a painter’s studio where Depp worked, a children’s playroom and a gym are among other living spaces.

The acreage is marked by gently sloping grounds with vineyards, olive trees, a vegetable garden, fountains, a large swimming pool surrounded by sand, a smaller swimming pool and a skateboard area.

Depp, 52, has starred in more than 50 major motion pictures, including “Edward Scissorhands,” “Benny and Joon” and “Donnie Brasco.” He gained recognition among television viewers in the 1980s series “21 Jump Street.” The versatile actor will star in the upcoming films “Black Mass,” “London Fields” and “Yoga Hosers.”

Furniture and the star’s personal belongings will be included in the sale.

Côte d’Azur Sotheby’s International Realty is the listing agent. Tony Mark of Sotheby’s International Realty in Malibu was the referring agent.

The best part of my job

As a working mother, it can be hard to juggle all the work and time needed to parent.

But the one thing I love most about my job, is that I can do the work anywhere!

This morning, I’m negotiating a deal, completing paperwork, and scheduling appointments, all while watching my son’s baseball game! I’m connecting  with my community, supporting my son and enjoying this gorgeous sunshine.

I love my job!

Buyers are ravenous for your home!

money house

Do you own a house? Are you wondering if that house is worth selling? Let me tell you something, whatever the property you own, right now that property is made of nothing but money!

If you want proof of just how valuable that home of yours could be, lets discuss the current sellers market happening right now. For example, an 1100 Square foot home, in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, which was listed for sale at $559,000 just sold for $717,000, with a back up offer over $730,000! That is nearly $652 per square foot.

And, NO, that was not a typo. I did say 1100 square feet. This house I refer to, was not an out of the ordinary home people. It was an adorable, little, family stater home. Brick, standard, simple. It sold for nearly the same price per square foot that one would typically see in a luxury level, million dollar home.

Why you ask? Well let me tell you. Simply, the supply of available properties for sale, can not meet the demand of those who currently wish to buy. Therefore, when buyers want to buy, and there are not enough homes available for sale for those buyers, the competition to procure them becomes vivacious! Competitive offers will occur and the selling prices will escalate to well above the asking price. Most often that occurs with multiple offers, each one better than the offer before it. That my friends, means that house of yours is indeed made of money.

So, here is my advice. If you have even been remotely toying with the idea of selling your home, NOW IS THE TIME! And this years selling season has really not even begun, so lets sell that house! As a seller you could not be in a better position than right now to achieve a phenomenal success on that sale. Want to know what your house could sell for, I can show you that by providing you with a current market analysis of your property.

As a buyer in this hot, competitive market, it can be rough competition out there. You will need to ensure all of those ducks are in a very tidy row! Your financing will need to be in order, your inspections complete and ready to go, and you absolutely will need to have a broker capable of some fierce negotiating in order to succeed in outbidding your opponent! I have the resources to help you do all of these things.

If you are ready to sell, or buy, or know of someone who is thinking of either, I would be happy to help. Give me a call and let me help you achieve this kind of success on your next property transaction!
