Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas list Irvington estate on market for $12 million
Actors Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have listed their Irvington estate for sale for $12 million.
The couple's home is known as Longmeadow and is situated about 25 miles north of Midtown Manhattan.
The 12-acre Fargo Lane property has a more than 11,000-square-foot Georgian-style home, built in 1929. There are eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, two half-bathrooms, a 21-foot heated indoor pool, tennis court, cabana and guest cottage, according to the listing. There's a study with two-story library and a fireplace.

The property is in the village’s exclusive Matthiessen Park area. The estate doubled as the venue for a private fundraiser for President Joe Biden's reelection campaign in April.
The first-floor loggia opens to a 100-foot outdoor stone terrace, the listing said, adding that the "house is perfectly positioned to capture the beauty of the land and water."
"Longmeadow is a spectacular property ‒ a true Hudson River estate,” said David Turner, of Compass, who has the listing. “The owner has done a masterful job in renovating the house in a cool, comfortable and modern aesthetic that preserves its original grandeur and integrity.”
Turner’s career as real estate broker has also included the listing and sale of Holly Hill, Briarcliff Manor’s 65-acre Brooke Astor estate, as well as the $33 million sale of Hudson Pines, the late David Rockefeller’s 75-acre Sleepy Hollow estate in the Pocantico Hills hamlet, in 2018.
The Longmeadow property now on the market is in the Irvington school district. Westchester is prized for it school districts, several of which are ranked among the nation's best.
The Journal News reported in 2019 that Longmeadow had been owned by the late Leonard Yablon, the former Forbes Inc. chief executive, who died in 2016 at 87. The home sold for $4.5 million in 2019 and Casa Zeta LLC, a corporation associated with Zeta-Jones, was at the time listed as one of the buyers of the estate.
Irvington, a southern Westchester village perched on the Hudson River with a Metro-North commuter train station, has long been a home to celebrities as well as those in the financial industry's upper reaches.
