Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have splashed out on a fresh New York property after recently selling their Westchester County mansion for almost $20.5 million.
The movie stars have spent a cool $4.5million on a 1930s built country estate called Long Meadow, located just 25 miles outside of Manhattan, where they also own a property.
Spanning 12 acres and continuing down to the Hudson River, the new ‘downsized’ property boasts 22 rooms, eight of which are bedrooms, as well as luxuries such as an indoor pool.

The savvy pair have recently offloaded some of their property though, downsizing in New York after owning their previous country estate for five years, following extensive renovations.
The couple have struggled to sell their luxurious cliff-side villa located in the Balearic Islands of Spain, which Douglas co-owns with his ex wife Diandra Douglas.
Back in May, Michael provided a voice-over s new marketing video to promote the sprawling 250 acres estate in a bid to help it sell. After putting it on the market for a staggering $60million in 2014, the American actor personally described the splendours of the home – which has a new listing price of $32.38 million to help draw in interest.
In the two minute video, the Basic Instinct star revealed he ‘fell under the spell of the S’Estaca in 1989’ when he purchased it with his then-wife Diandra for $3.5 million, but his ‘life has now taken a different course’ – prompting him to give another push in selling the estate – which is home to two opulent cottages and five apartments.
Mod cons: Period details mix with modern touches in the kitchen with its huge fridges and large island
Bringing the outside in: A lounge leads out onto the vast terrace, making it the perfect entertaining space
Exterior charm: Outside, a huge stone-paved terrace offers a stunning view across the Hudson River while there’s also a summer kitchen
This appears to be the latest attempt in selling the property after it was reported by DailyMailTV in October of last year that Michael and Catherine pulled their Spanish vacation villa off the market after years of being ‘left to rot,’
In 2014, the estate was put on the market by Sotheby’s for a colossal $60 million. They were forced to drop the price in 2017 to $45 million, and then again to $40 million in January 2018, before the luxury realtors took it completely off the market in October.
The property supposedly holds only bad memories for Zeta-Jones because it’s co-owned by Luker, 62, in a bizarre and awkward timeshare pact.
