Gibson sells estate for $24m

Actor Mel Gibson has sold his 75-acre estate in Greenwich, Connecticut, for $24m (€29.17m).

The property, known as Old Mill Farm, had been on the market since 2007, when it was listed for $39.5m (€48m).

It had recently been advertised for $29.7m (€36.1m).

The Greenwich Time reported today that according to town property records, the estate was bought by Cosette Property LLC.

It includes a 16,000-square-foot Tudor-style mansion that was built in 1926 for financier George Lewis Ohstrom. It also has a five-horse stable, log cabin, 60-foot swimming pool and a stream-fed pond.

Gibson bought the property for $9.3m (€11.3m) in 1994, when he was married to wife Robyn. Gibson recently split from girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, with whom he has a seven-month-old daughter.
