George and Amal Clooney, the renowned power couple, have recently made headlines with their quick decision to relocate. Known for their love of historic and picturesque properties, they have said goodbye to their beloved family home in Berkshire, England.
The Clooneys, who have two children, bought the Grade II-listed mansion in September 2014, soon after their lavish wedding in Venice. After spending over $25 million on extensive renovations, the 17th-century estate was turned into a luxurious modern home spanning 11,000 square feet.
The mansion features a 60ft swimming pool with a shaded area and a hot tub, as well as a beautifully landscaped garden with pine trees and an Astro-Turf tennis court. Despite their efforts to maintain privacy, the mansion’s proximity to the Thames River made it prone to flooding, which required an additional $60,000 for flood-proofing measures.
Severe flooding, worsened by Britain’s unpredictable weather, led the Clooneys to decide to move. Even though the area is beautiful, neighbors confirmed the couple had been away from the property because their back garden had been flooded with up to four feet of water.
Their new home, Domaine Le Canadel, is a sprawling wine estate in Provence, offering a break from England’s weather challenges. With amenities like a pool, tennis court, and lush gardens, the estate reflects the couple’s enduring love for European living.
Their commitment to Europe is also evident in their iconic Italian villa in Lake Como, treasured for its stunning setting and for hosting esteemed guests.
Despite rumors of selling the villa, George Clooney emphasized its importance, saying it has had a profound impact on his life.
