Ren�e Zellweger Lists Private Connecticut Getaway for $1.5 Million (PHOTOS)

Making its way onto the housing market in recent days is a rustic Pomfret, Connecticut estate owned by none other than actress Ren�e Zellweger. Zellweger, who has two Academy Awards to her name and has appeared in such blockbuster flicks as Bridget Jones�s Diary, Jerry McGuire and Cold Mountain, is asking $1.5 million for the rural home that borders the Quinebaug River.

The actress originally acquired the �vacation retreat� back in 2004, paying $1.3 million. She has invested a considerable amount of time and energy to update the estate in Pomfret, which Zellweger refers to as �the embodiment of the old-fashioned American small town.�

The property boasts a number of various buildings and structures on the premises (guest cottage, barn, helicopter pad, etc.), underscored by a 3,463-square-foot Federal-style Colonial main home known as the �Cotton Tavern�, built in 1770. Modern amenities have been added to the property, but the original country charm of the three-bedroom home remains, with Colonial-style windows, wood-burning fireplaces and exposed wood beam ceilings running throughout. Other property highlights include a generous master bedroom with a �suite of closets,� library with dark-wood finishes and built-in bookcases, media room, country kitchen and a large screened-in sun porch. The backyard and its many acres include a wealth of lush foliage, rolling hills of grass fields and woodland areas.

The property listing is presented by Jonathan Radford of Coldwell Banker.

Is this Britney Spears� new Thousand Oaks rental? (PHOTOS)




Our favorite celebrity real estate mama brings word today that pop princess and serial home jumper, Britney Spears, is on the move again. This time around, Britney is headed for Thousand Oaks, California where, according to The Real Estalker, she will be leasing a �big, beige stone and stucco mcmansion that overlooks one of the fairways� at the posh golf community of Sherwood Country Club Estates.

If sources hold true, Britney will be slightly downsizing with her next real estate move. She was previously leasing a 19,100-square-foot mansion with 10-bedrooms and 13-bathroooms in Hidden Hills, California; however, her new spread is reportedly a two-story structure that measures in at a little over 10,500-square-feet and includes a total of a five bathrooms and six-and-a-half baths. The Thousand Oaks property features fine, custom-designed aesthetic details such as inlaid marble and wood flooring, heavily detailed wrought-iron staircases and exposed-beam ceilings in various areas throughout. The home also includes a wealth of desirable amenities like a sprawling entertainment room, custom theater, wood-paneled library and chef�s kitchen. The resort-style backyard looks out over the golf course and comes complete with a massive cabana and outdoor kitchen combination, infinity pool and an expansive field of grass that could be the perfect play area for Britney�s children, Sean and Jayden.

Bruce Willis Lists Idaho Home (PHOTOS)

Actor Bruce Willis is ready to leave Hailey, Idaho behind. He has put his 20-acre ranch in the popular Sun Valley resort town on the market for $15 million. The Wall Street Journal reported that Willis is selling the property, which he bought in 2003 because he isn�t able to spend as much time there as he would like. He also has commercial property on the market in the area, a former nightclub/restaurant/bar called the Mint which is listed for $4.495 million.

Willis rebuilt the main home shortly after purchasing the property. It is located on Flying Heart Lake with multiple ponds, flowing streams and a custom pool with waterfalls. The large sunken living room has two rock fireplaces. The breakfast nook has lake views and the gourmet kitchen includes two Sub-Zero refrigerators, Viking six-burner stove with dual ovens, two dishwashers, large pantry, glass cabinets and island with an eating bar. The master suite offers a gas fireplace, seating area, two heated decks, built-in desk, and bookshelves. The master bathroom is complete with jetted soaking tub, granite shower, dual sinks, and custom built master closet with built-in dressers and shelves. Snow keeps its distance with help from heated balconies.



























The listing is with Janine Bear of Sun Valley Sotheby�s International Realty.
