American singer and actor Cher's former home in Miami, United States, is on sale for $42.5 million, as per a report in the Wall Street Journal. The celebrity owned the house in the 1990s, as per the 2011 book 'Cher: You Haven't Seen the Last of Me'. The sprawling estate was originally built in 1953 and is located on La Gorce Island, a gated community connected by a bridge to Miami Beach.
According to the book, Cher spent $1.5 million for the property in 1993, which she used as a retreat during the time she spent away from the spotlight. As per the outlet, she adorned the house with lavish gothic-style decor. She later sold the house to Barry K Schwartz, co-founder of Calvin Klein, and his wife Sheryl for $4.35 million in 1996.
As per Fox News, it is a Spanish-style house with over 19-foot ceilings, majestic twin staircases and Brazilian wood floors. In addition to a chef's kitchen, there are social and formal spaces. A VIP suite is located on the ground floor. The main bedroom also has "a sitting room, marble-clad bath with a stunning centre shower for two, oversized custom closet, and a sunrise terrace."
The top floor also has three additional bedrooms. There are several wellness amenities available including a spa, cold plunge, outdoor shower and a gym. The waterfront property boasts a 50-foot resort-style pool of its own as well as a pool house and a sun deck.
In January this year, Cher shared a selfie of herself with boyfriend Alexander Edwards kissing her on New Year's Eve. "Happy New Year, Daddy," she captioned the photo on Twitter. The 77-year-old also displayed her new diamond ring in the photo, which had recently generated engagement rumours after the singer shared it on social media on Christmas last year.
The Grammy winner first sparked dating rumours with Mr Edwards in November 2022 when they were photographed holding hands in Los Angeles. According to People Magazine, Cher confirmed their relationship, while also defending their 40-year age gap, in a now-deleted Twitter post, "LOVE DOESN'T KNOW MATH, IT SEES ."
