How much does it cost to live as Mariah Carey? You don’t have to say that it is quite far from a song.
The five -time Grammy winning artist had been renting this Connecticut property for $ 75000 per month for almost two years, as of July 2023.
Now it is on the market for sale and can be yours for $ 13.9 million, Gimme Shelter has learned, below its initial application of $ 16.9 million in 2022.
Known as Orchard’s End, the new Canaan estate is located in 6.25 acres. The great main residence of Brick and Limstone, a Tudor mansion in 544 Oenake Ridge, was built in 1929.

Malloy shares the list with his service companion Jessica Lane. (González paid $ 875,000 for the property in 1980, according to the reports).
Carey loved so much the property that a recording studio built there, although it has become a Yoga study, Malloy said.
“It has that timeless architecture. It is an iconic and beautiful property, like a castle,” Malloy said.
The current sellers bought the property for $ 6.5 million in 2014. Then they hired the world -renowned architect Dinyar Wadia to undertake a renewal and expansion of three years and $ 6 million.
The impressive house was originally designed by New York architect William B. Tubby. It comes with 12 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and four dressers.
The farm now also comes with a new construction, a four square -feet guest house and a 5,000 square feet welfare center, along with a personalized spa.
Carey lived in the house with their children and made the staff reside in the guest house.
“It is a perfect home for a multigenerational family, and now it has a price to sell,” Malloy said.
The new incorporation of the main residence includes a new chef kitchen, a large room with roofs of 35 feet, an outdoor patio and a study.
Wadia has said she found inspiration for Castle Duart’s great room on the island of Mull Finger in “Entopment”, the 1999 artistic art film starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
That extraordinary room has a double height roof, a great stone fireplace and personalized bronze handrails leading to a second -floor mezzanine.
The large room connects to the main residence through a corridor with glass panels with iron frames and divided lights with captivating views of the garden terrace on one side, and the new chef kitchen of the patio in the other. Thanks to the roof lights in the kitchen and windows of the double height bay in the large room, the new space is well illuminated.
The farm also has a cellar and a 14 -seat movie theater.
Outside, the property has a pool, an outdoor fireplace, formal gardens, fountains, a water wall, a closed main entrance and a basketball court.
