It was revealed by TMZ on Wednesday that Affleck and Lopez both paid a whopping $60.85 million in cash for the magnificent 46,000-square-foot mansion.
The deal only lasted a week and the pair paid nearly $15 million below the $75 million asking price.
It first hit the market in 2018 for $135 million, but that price was nearly halved when it was listed again this year.
The home – dubbed the ‘Wallingford Estate’ – sits on a 5-acre promontory and features 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
The listing shows it has been ‘recently rebuilt and expanded’ and features a 12-car garage and parking for 80 cars.
There is also a ‘unique’ indoor sports complex, a 5,000 square foot guest penthouse, a caretaker’s house and a two-bedroom guard house on the property.
With the indoor sports facility, Jennifer has a full gym at her disposal, as well as courts for basketball, pickleball and a boxing ring, plus a sports lounge and bar.
The outlet reports that there is also a full hair and nail salon, home theater, wine cellar, whiskey lounge, as well as a sauna and massage rooms.
