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

The 75-year-old actor and the 41-year-old publicist, who recently shared a romantic moment at the Zurich Film Festival, sold the nearly two-acre property in New Canaan for $10.75 million, according to Mansion Global.
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 his native Spain.
“She was very generous in giving me six years living in my world, so I think it’s only fair that I give her at least another six years living in hers,” he told the magazine.
They will be moving with their two sons, Alexander, five, and James, four.
Before moving to Connecticut, Gere owned property in the celebrity-favorite area of Pound Ridge, New York, about an hour from Manhattan.
In May 2022, he sold that property for $28 million, according to Mansion Global, just two months before purchasing his New Canaan home.
Richard and Alejandra’s romance began in 2014, when they reconnected in Italy after meeting years earlier through a mutual friend.
Despite their 34-year age difference, the two quickly bonded over their shared passions for humanitarian work and spirituality.
They married in a private ceremony at Gere’s estate in upstate New York in 2018.
