Upon achieving fame and fortune, celebrities are known to splash out on a host of pricey purchases. Alongside their designer labels and flashy wheels , high-profile, well-off personalities spend arguably the most amount of their money on property. Buying a grand place can even be one of the first things they do once they start earning big. These homes can often feel same-same though, in terms of furnishings and architecture. From the ubiquitous infinity pool to the marble chef’s kitchen, it often seems that if you’ve seen one swanky celeb home, you’ve seen them all. There are, however, some celebrities who have chosen to break the McMansion mould and settle down in something different. Take a tour with us below of some of the most one-of-a-kind properties that celebs call home – or have called home in the past. Robert Downey Jr’s historic windmill When he’s not shooting a Hollywood blockbuster, Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr is likely spending time in his unique Hamptons family home. The catch? It’s in a large windmill with a history dating back to the 1880s. Who’s the richest in Will Smith’s family? Net worths, ranked Welcome to the windmill! At home in the Hamptons with Iron Man & the missus. @RobertDowneyJr bugs out in December AD pic.twitter.com/6TGtuZ6Ceg — Amy Astley (@AmyTAstley) November 1, 2017 According to Downey’s interview with Architectural Digest , the windmill was originally built as a playhouse, but was later repurposed into a liveable residence. “We wanted something we haven’t seen a million times,” he told the publication. After purchasing the property, the Hollywood A-lister worked with designers and architects to update and personalise the space. Additional highlights include a sunken living room with a wraparound fireplace wall, an inviting pool area and beautifully manicured gardens. Seems fitting for the eccentric Tony Stark. Tom Ford’s part-ranch, part-movie-set home Spanning more than 80,000 square metres, the Cerro Pelon Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico is one third ranch, one third movie set and one third ultra-modern and luxurious accommodation. What does Lily-Rose Depp think of Amber Heard, dad Johnny Depp’s ex? The ranch was bought by Tom Ford in 2001. Since then the American fashion designer hired award-winning Japanese architect Tadao Ando who designed the modern residence located on the ranch. This stunning structure sits alongside a vast reflection pool overlooking the American Southwest wilderness. In addition to the impressive interiors, the most striking feature of the property is its old Western town replica that’s been used as a set for films. Originally built for the 1980s Western classic Silverado with Kevin Costner, the town has since been used in around thirty films. Ford sold the prized estate in 2021, according to Love Property. Alicia Keys’ Razor House Dubbed the Razor House, this incredible hilltop property was bought by singer Alicia Keys and her producer husband Swizz Beatz in 2019 for more than US$20 million, per Love Property. Built by American architectural maestro Wallace E. Cunningham, the one-of-a-kind wonder home boasts unending views of the surrounding La Jolla neighbourhood, San Diego landscape and Pacific Ocean. Fully equipped with all the amenities and conveniences one could ever want, the Razor House also impresses with almost 11,00 sq ft of space, floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a spectacular seaward infinity pool and deck. Where is Dr Donald Cline from Netflix’s Our Father now? There’s also a library, cinema and guest house. Enya’s Irish castle Though notoriously private and rarely sharing much of her personal life with the public, Irish singer Enya is known to live inside not just any old mansion, but an actual Irish castle. Called Manderley Castle, the current home of the queen of Celtic New Age was constructed in Victorian style by an Irish MP and judge in 1840. Fast forward more than a century and a half to 1997 and Enya bought the castle for a reported US$4 million (€3.8-million). As a result of security threats, the singer has installed a state-of-the-art security system, which even includes a panic room. Flea’s futuristic heptagon As a core member of Red Hot Chili Peppers, bassist Flea has long been known for his unconventional antics. It’s hardly surprising then that the rock musician would own a home that’s as mould-breaking as he and his fellow bandmates. In 2018, Flea bought an unmissable seven-sided, spaceship-shaped mansion in La Crescenta on the outskirts of LA. Designed by star architect Michael Maltzan, the heptagon home features interiors as noteworthy as the structure itself like its curvilinear penny-tiled bathroom. Who is the richest Crazy Rich Asians cast member in 2022? Net worths, ranked Beyond the estate’s curiously shaped house with its unexpected interiors, the compound also consists of a second house bursting with mid-century modern touches and a very inviting swimming pool.
