new england style main residence which clocks in at an epic 11 658 square feet also inside eight bedrooms nine bathrooms and two half baths the home's incredible sense of privacy is also enhanced by the more than 4 300 acres of protected land that borders it richard's four other structures are sprinkled throughout his property and combined together to create an understated new england aesthetic that's familiar inviting and classic the main residence includes three stories and plenty of colonial charm only with the added bonus of updated furnishings appliances and the latest tech natural

countertops then richard's primary suite offers a fireplace in an ensuite bathroom with a tub located in the middle of the room there are also some spacious secondary residences on the grounds one of

riding trails and more than a few ancient trees it also includes a handful of amenities like a private pond with a sandy beach and shoreline pavilion a swimming pool and a full-sized soccer pitch but as so often happens with rich and famous men when they move on from one partner to the next they also trade in the house that they shared with their ex as well and that's exactly what happened with richard after living in this home for more than 20 years with his former wife carrie lowell the two would get divorced and richard would go on to marry alejandra silva in 2018. following year they'd welcome a baby boy and in 2020 well they would secure a new home for themselves in north salem it would take richard a couple of years to move off this property but in january of 2022 he'd find a

york an equally affluent and quiet community there they settled into a red brick georgian mansion that was first built in the 1930s for an heir to one of america's great family fortunes the woolworths this home is said to have been modeled on groom bridge place a 17th century home in turnbridge wells kent england a home which was once featured on the cover of british house and garden gear a famously private individual hid this purchase by registering it to a los angeles trust company that he has used in the past by his other properties as for why he and his wife selected north salem as their new hometown one of his associates would tell the daily mail i think the attraction for richard is that north salem is known for protecting the privacy of other rich people including entertainers who've lived there for years for what's been reported to have been just under 10 million dollars richer and his new wife purchased themselves a 9 000 square foot beauty and then set about
