Why do many celebrities even bother buying multiple houses? It's not like they ever keep them, so they might as well rent? Whelp, I guess if you have money to waste.

Reese is getting rid of her home becaaaause... Baby Dudley needs a second bedroom?
I don't get it. That house is gorgeous. Are the property taxes too high? What? WHAT!?
If someone were willing to give me $10M, I'd take it off her hands. It's the least I could do.

It seems that all these celebrities want to have their houses featured in AD or Elle Decor right before they put it up for sale: Ellen Degeneres, Julianne Moore, now Reese... it is a way to increase the value of the property? Or is it the other way around: do they get so many offers after their houses appear in those magazines that they just can't turn away from the money? Weird... Lifestyle of the rich and the famous....

i wish i had that amount of money
if i did i would so buy that house

When a home is featured in one of these magazines, it's staged beyond belief, so there's no way to know exactly what it looks like on a "normal" day. Sure, they probably don't look as lived-in as some of our homes, but I seriously doubt that they look like the photos in the magazines every day :)

Forget the house, I'd just sit outside in the gardens and sleep in the barn with the horses. Beautiful.

Ojai is a lovely area, and the home is a treasure. As for why a still-young woman might want to sell her country estate... consider that it is way out in the country. Believe me, living in the hills can get old. Besides, areas around Ojai have been threatened (and some burned) by some devastating fires in the last several years. Maybe she got sick of the worry.

The NYT link in the above post doesn't seem to work.

Here's a link that works:

Another fan of that property. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.

I happened to buy that issuee of Decor and I was not all that thrilled with the ranch. Yes, it is lovely but I expected a bit more relaxed style - it looked way too formal to me. Not exacly inviting to relax, etc.
But, of course, I wish it was mine. LOL

Hmmm...I read some of the article when I got the issue in the mail. Didn't sound like she was about to sell it. Something blah blah blah about childhood home and wanting her kids to grew up in blah blah blah,

That house is badly in need of some colour. Beige, beige and beige in a house that size? Awful.
