George Clooney Is Selling His Lake Como Estate - Italy

According to reports, George Clooney is thinking about parting ways with his famed Italian mansion. The actor sneakily put his 18th-century Lake Como villa back on the market for a whopping $ 107 million (he bought the property over two decades ago for $ 10 million). “It’s very quiet. Rumors of the potential sale have dated back to as early as 2010, mainly due to paparazzi concerns. Reportedly, photographers scaled the walls of the villa (which features a botanical garden, tennis courts, and an annex) to snap photos of the film star and his A-list guests. Adding fuel to the fire, the then-mayor of Laglio (the town where the lakefront house is located) Giuseppe Mantero allegedly attempted to build a “viewing dock” near Clooney’s villa.
