Inside Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones’ Stunning Homes — from Their $12M Mansion to a Mallorca Estate — Photos

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have spent decades building a life together, and the places they have called home reveal a side of their story rarely seen on screen.

From deeply personal beginnings to properties shaped by marriage, family, and changing priorities, each home marks a different chapter. One even reaches back to Michael’s early years, long before fame and multimillion-dollar estates became part of his life.

Some became places to raise their children, while others proved difficult to leave behind. The homes have also sparked strong reactions online, with their interiors leaving viewers sharply divided.

More Than 25 Years Together

Long before Michael and Catherine built a family and a life across several homes, their story began with a chance meeting in France. The two met at the Deauville Film Festival in 1998, and by New Year’s Eve, they were engaged in Aspen, Colorado.

Their romance soon led to a star-studded wedding at New York City’s Plaza Hotel on November 18, 2000, following a 20-month courtship. According to ABC News, more than 250 guests attended, including Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson, Goldie Hawn, Steven Spielberg, and Danny DeVito.

Their son, Dylan, had been born a few months before the wedding. The couple later welcomed their daughter, Carys. Michael also has an older son, Cameron, from his previous marriage to film producer Diandra Luker, according to IMDb.

More than two decades later, the 57-year-old "The Mask of Zorro" star looked back on their years together, sharing a collection of personal photos that included moments from their wedding day.

Marking their 25th anniversary on Instagram, she recalled the flowers, candlelight, Welsh choir, and the sight of Michael waiting for her at the end of the aisle. "I love you today as I did then. Thank you sweetheart♥️," she wrote.

Marriage, children, and the passage of time have all influenced where the couple chose to live – and, eventually, which homes they were ready to leave behind.

Hudson Mansion

Michael and Catherine’s Hudson River estate has the scale of a private retreat. Known as Longmeadow, the historic mansion sits on 12 acres in Irvington, New York, with sweeping views of the Hudson River.

According to Realtor.com, Catherine bought the property for $4.5 million in 2019, and the couple later carried out extensive renovations. Built in 1929, the Georgian-style brick-and-stone mansion spans more than 11,600 square feet across four levels, with eight bedrooms and 11.5 bathrooms.

Inside, Longmeadow mixes grand spaces with some unexpected design choices. A 30-foot gallery opens into the formal living and dining rooms, where wood and stone floors, fireplaces, and traditional finishes carry through the home.

The dining room stands out with its red lacquer walls, while the kitchen has marble countertops, subway tile, and an island with built-in wine storage.

Upstairs, the primary suite comes with its own fireplace and sitting area. Even the bathroom has a fireplace, along with a soaking tub and chandelier. One of the home’s biggest features is its two-story paneled library, which adds another layer of old-world character.

Downstairs, the house takes on a more relaxed feel, with a home gym, play areas, and an indoor pool. The outdoor space is just as expansive. A 100-foot terrace faces west over the Hudson River, while the estate has 130 feet of river frontage and garage space for at least four cars.

But by 2024, the "Basic Instinct" actor and Catherine no longer needed quite so much space. With their children grown, they put Longmeadow on the market for $12 million in June 2024.

Speaking with The Wall Street Journal, Catherine looked back on the years her family had spent there and explained why they were ready for a change. "When I purchased our Irvington home, I knew our family would share many happy times here, and we have!" she said.

By then, Dylan and Carys had both moved out, leaving Michael and Catherine with far more space than they needed. “Now that both our son and daughter have left the nest, it seems like the right time to sell,” Catherine explained.

The couple was also looking ahead to spending more time away from New York. "Michael and I plan to spend more time in Bermuda and Europe," Catherine said.

Selling Longmeadow, however, proved more difficult than listing it.

The initial listing failed to attract a buyer, and Longmeadow was delisted in April 2025. It returned a month later with its price cut to $10 million, but still did not sell.

After being removed from the market again, Longmeadow was relisted for a third time on March 19, 2026, this time for $9.75 million — $2.25 million below its original asking price.

The Details Inside Longmeadow Split Opinion

The home’s traditional interiors did not inspire the same reaction from everyone who saw them online. On Instagram, one netizen called the mansion "Beautiful and ostentatious." Another user was less taken with the atmosphere inside, writing, "It looks gloomy inside."

A separate post on the platform brought a much warmer response. One commenter wrote, "So beautifully done!! The pool, the kitchen, the grounds…🤎 For once I’m not even mad at the paneling in the library!😂"

Another user preferred the home’s warmer style to the minimalist look they associated with other luxury properties. "Most rich do too much or have too little with that modem look bull, this is homie and perfect ❤️," the commenter shared.

The indoor pool was enough to win over another viewer, who wrote, "Obsessed with the indoor pool!! 😍" Others remained unconvinced by the amount of decoration. "It’s so cluttered," another commenter remarked.

One architectural feature received a much simpler reaction. "The spiral staircase 😍," someone else wrote. Another commenter admitted, "I usually don’t like this style but this is an undeniably beautiful house."

Mallorca Home

Michael’s connection to Mallorca stretches back decades, and his sprawling S’Estaca estate has a history to match. Set on 250 acres in Spain’s Balearic Islands, the property combines dramatic coastal surroundings with buildings whose origins predate Michael’s ownership by more than a century.

According to Architectural Digest, Michael bought S’Estaca with his then-wife, Diandra, for $3.5 million in 1990. The estate was later listed for about $60 million in 2014 before its asking price fell to $32.38 million several years later.

The property is far more than a single villa. Its collection of buildings includes two cottages and five apartments, with 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms in total. A home theater, library, game room, wine cellar, outdoor kitchen, heated pool, and vineyard fill out the estate.

Its history reaches back to the 19th century. Michael explained in a promotional video that Austrian Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Habsburg acquired the main house in the 1860s and renovated it, adding features including smooth stucco walls and decorative crenelations along the roofline.

Michael said the estate had a similarly powerful effect on him more than a century later. "When I first saw S’Estaca in 1990, I also fell under its spell and bought the property," he recalled.

Over the following decades, Michael said he "put my own mark on the place," including modernizing and redecorating the old buildings. The estate also became a destination for famous guests, with Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Jack Nicholson among those reported to have stayed there.

Still, Michael and Catherine spent years trying to find a buyer. While promoting the property in 2019, he suggested that a change in his own life meant it was time for someone else to take over the estate he had previously called his "spiritual home."

"My life has taken a new course," Michael said, "and now it’s time for me to let someone else enjoy the privilege and adventure of owning S’Estaca."

But his plans for the property would change again. By 2021, Michael was describing S’Estaca not as an estate he was ready to leave behind, but as a home he wanted to keep in the family. In an interview with Ultima Hora, he discussed the earlier arrangement under which he and Diandra had shared time at the property.

"Yes, it was very awkward sharing the house in s’Estaca with my ex-wife, Diandra. Six months for each of us wasn’t pleasant for anyone," he said.

Once that arrangement ended, Michael said his feelings about leaving became much clearer.

"Now that everything is settled and the house is one hundred percent ours, Catherine’s and mine, I can say that I never wanted to leave," he continued.

His plans now extended well beyond his own time at the estate.

"My children will continue to come, and my grandchildren and their children. I’m sure that for generations to come, this island will be theirs," he said. "This house belongs to my family and will continue to do so."

S’Estaca’s Seclusion Drew Very Different Reactions

The same qualities that make S’Estaca unusual – its scale, history, seclusion, and coastal setting – also divided people who saw the property online. On YouTube, one netizen focused on the estate’s natural appeal, calling it a "Gorgeous magical property with vineyards."

"This stunning property is way too isolated to live in permanently. The beauty and joy of life is being surrounded by people, neighbours, family, friends, – I guess it’s good to spend Christmas in with the family.! Then back to a vibrant city like New York or London, or Toluca Lake in Los Angeles where I currently live. There’s nothing like hearing the sounds of "life" . . . Your neighbours walking their dogs. Greeting people in the streets. Coffee shops and hugs and laughter in Trader Joe’s. There are so many magical places all over the world. But it is the P E O P L E that create that ambience. May we all never …"

Someone else was less enthusiastic about the changes made to the historic property. "What a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind gem it must have been before it was ‘modernized’. It breaks my heart," the commenter wrote.

On Instagram, another viewer questioned whether the property justified its multimillion-dollar asking price. "Needs a lot of work, pool should be on the water for 32 million. Unimpressed, great location though, Majorca is beautiful," the user wrote.

Another viewer summed up the property in a single word: "opulence." For that viewer, S’Estaca’s vast grounds, amenities, and privileged coastal setting conveyed luxury above all else.

Michael Douglas’ Childhood Home

Long before the sprawling estates and multimillion-dollar properties, Michael spent part of his childhood in a far more modest home in Westport, Connecticut.

The “Fatal Attraction” star offered a rare look at the property when he returned there in 2017. In a Facebook post documenting the visit, the actor said he lived in the house from 1956 to 1963 with his mother, Diana, his brother, film producer Joel Douglas, and his stepfather, William Darrid.

The photos show Michael standing outside the white clapboard house and beside a large red outbuilding on the property. Another image reveals the back of the home, with dormer windows, a stone foundation, and greenery surrounding the structure.

The Modest Home Won People Over

The childhood home also struck a chord with people online, with several viewers favoring its simple, traditional character over something more extravagant.

On Facebook, one netizen wrote, "Look real cozy…Better than a mansion.." Another user focused on the emotional connection people can have to the place where they grew up: "So idyllic, and beautiful, the childhood home is indeed very special 💖."

A commenter admired the home’s construction, writing, "Very well built….when a house was made right." Someone else could easily picture living there, noting, "Wow I love this house. It is exactly my dream hom_e."
