Richard Gere is one of the best-known Hollywood actors on the planet, and there are many films that catapulted him to stardom, although without a doubt 'Pretty Woman' was the diamond in the rough within a career, a film that elevated both him and his female lead Julia Roberts and made them both, and the film, myths of the celluloid.
Over the years and films, Richard Gere continued his career and it has been in recent years when the artist has had more experience in Spain due to his relationship with his now wife, a Spanish woman named Alejandra. The couple began a new stage in Spain, as it was in November when the couple moved to Spain from the United States to make it their new home
The reason for the demolition
The couple, before coming to Spain, lived in a mansion in New Canaan, Connecticut, a home they bought almost three years ago and for which they paid $10.8 million and when they decided to sell it they only lost half a million dollars. A home that soon will no longer be seen except in snapshots kept as souvenirs as within a few weeks it will be demolished and in its place will be built a complex of nine independent buildings.
A demolition that will be carried out by New York-based Hudson Valley House Parts, which specializes in architectural salvage and historic preservation. Although demolition seems imminent, several workers have been working for several days to save some of the valuable pieces on the estate. One of these is a cast stone well, while others include the steel casement windows, which could be reused in the new properties to be built after the demolition on a 13-hectare site.
Gere and his wife's home had six bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a pool, several gardens and a three-bedroom guest house.
