Harvey Weinstein’s Former Connecticut Mansion Razed, Bare Land Listed at $21 Million
With his once high-flying life in penurious, imprisoned shambles, the former Connecticut “Gold Coast” mansion of disgraced former Hollywood super-producer Harvey Weinstein has been demolished, and the prime waterfront acreage recently put up for sale with a $21 million asking price. Spanning a total of 5.66 acres, the former Weinstein estate comprises two separate parcels along one of Westport’s most exclusive and expensive streets. The larger 3.03-acre plot is priced separately at $11 million, while the smaller 2.63-acre parcel has a $10 million hang tag.
Once one of Tinseltown’s most powerful, prolific, and infamously imperious power players, Weinstein was sentenced to 39 years in prison on multiple charges of rape and sexual assault, first in New York in 2020 and then again last year in California.
Now 71, the Miramax co-founder sold the two parcels that form his former Westport spread for $16 million in 2018, just as his spectacular fall from grace and serious legal issues went into overdrive. Though proceeds likely went to pay his high-priced army of criminal and civil defense attorneys, on paper, Weinstein made out like a bandit on the sale. He acquired the two properties in two transactions, the first in 1994 and the second in 2000, for a total of $8.24 million. He and his second-ex wife, red carpet fashion designer Georgina Chapman, held their wedding on the property and some years later hosted fundraising events for Barak Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.
The buyers, English commodities trader turned graphic designer Andrew Bentley and art historian Fiona Garland, soon sent the wrecking ball through Weinstein’s traditional mansion. Gone is the nearly 9,000-square-foot early 20th-century Colonial and gone is the adjacent, barn-style guest house. Also gone is the swimming pool that sculptured gardens once surrounded. There were also two smaller homes on the property that have been demolished. Still in place are the properties’ rare geography: 550 feet of water frontage — each parcel spans 277 feet along the water — and distant views of the Manhattan skyline over the Sound’s dark, glistening waters....
