JOHNNY DEPP IS putting an entire French village he owns up for sale.
The property is a “hameau”, a private, small Provençal village comprising more than a dozen buildings and including a chapel and two pools.
Up for sale for an estimated €23 million, the sprawling compound is about 25 km from the French Riviera resort of Saint Tropez.
“Johnny has decided to sell the Plan de la Tour property to close this chapter of his life and move on,” Alexander Kraft, head of Sotheby’s International Realty France, wrote in a description of the estate.
The property is in the village of Plan de la Tour and has 1,000 square metres of living space spread across the 15-hectare (37-acre) property.
The Hollywood star’s compound comprises over 12 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms in the collection of structures that includes the main home, several guest houses, a hunter’s cabin, a workshop as well as a bar and restaurant.
“He decorated everything, paying attention to the smallest detail, in a ‘Bohemian’ or ‘artistic’ style and the property is being sold with all its contents, books, DVDs, furniture and some works of art,” Kraft says.
“This type of thing is very rare for a property that belongs to a star of his calibre.”
Depp, 52, carried out extensive renovations on the house.
“Over several years, he painstakingly restored and decorated all the houses of the village one by one, bringing his very personal touch to the project and creating a property of exceptional character,” the description continues.
Among the vines, olive trees and fountains of the property there is also a skate park he built for his son Jack.
Depp lived there during his 14-year relationship with French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis, which ended in 2012.
He married American actress Amber Heard earlier this year.

Just need to win a big jackpot in the Euro millions and I will take it off his hands.
He does very well considering the amount of appallingly bad films he’s been in.
Hang on until I get my cheque book out!
haha – gas!
I would have preferred VinB bursting though the gates and giving us an untrained view :-) smashing house
Ah, ‘Bog Standard’ by the looks of it. Where’s the Land League when you need them? Oh, sorry – Depp probably doesn’t owe millions on failed property deals.
It’s crazy he has all that. You can count with one hand the good movies he has been in.
One pirates of the Caribbean film pays for it.
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas was a good film .
Additional predictable joke about checking down the back of the couch for the money…
Minecraft for the rich and famous. Fair play to him for painstakingly restoring it. Imagine owning your own village.
Aah the rich and entitled eh? Wonder does it come with its own peasants? “Yes son, you CAN have your own skate park! Peasants!! Get to work!”. Johnny Depp-pockets indeed!
He’ll need a fleet of removals vans …
And, a ‘Joe Le Taxi’ …
(I’ll get me coat).
have your say
