Tom Cruise has sold his Colorado compound for its full $39.5 million asking price.

He was cruisin’ for a sale — and, boy, did he get one.

Just two months after listing his Colorado estate for $39.5 million, actor Tom Cruise has sold the 320-acre spread for its full asking price, its listing brokerage told The Post.

Tom Cruise's 320-acre estate in Telluride is nestled in the mountains for privacy.

The property snoops at the Wall Street Journal first reported news of the sale Friday. Listing agent Dan Dockray, of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, told the paper that the Telluride property entered contract within its first week on the market.

“It all really depended on who had their Gulfstream warming up on the tarmac to get out there first,” Eric Lavey, Dockray’s colleague, told the Journal.

The handsome wood-heavy home has beamed ceilings and oversize windows.

The March debut of the listing marked the home’s first time publicly available for sale. In 2014, Cruise — known for his roles in “Top Gun” and “Vanilla Sky” among many other films — hired a broker to market the property in a hush-hush manner for a much higher $59 million ask.

A nearly 10,000-square-foot home means room for a pool table.

Cruise spent several years designing the home, made with stone and cedar touches, which finished up in 1994. There are seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, and the home, nestled in the mountains, is built for privacy. It’s also accessed via a 1-mile driveway and stands behind a gate.

There are outdoor areas for lounging.

The main house measures nearly 10,000 square feet — and comes equipped with a chef’s kitchen, wood-beamed ceilings and oversize windows that look out to the mountains. Other perks include several fireplaces, a gym, a three-car garage and outdoor entertaining areas.

The grounds also have a three-bedroom guest lodge.

Tom Cruise Tries Again in Telluride: 320-Acre Ranch Available for $39.5M

Tom Cruise is on a mission: The A-lister wants to sell his massive Telluride ranch.

The Colorado spread is back on the market for $39.5 million. Eric Lavey and Dan Dockray of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty hold the listing.

The star of “Mission Impossible” had quietly shopped the property in 2014, at the much higher price point of $59 million. Now it’s officially on the market for the first time.

Cruise, 58, spent years amassing the land. He then had a 10,000-square-foot, seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom home built on the property back in 1994. It’s reported that he no longer uses the ranch and has decided to pass this premium parcel along to its next steward.

The 320-acre mountain retreat was the location for   a Vanity Fair magazine  profile of the actor in 2006, featuring his daughter, Suri , with his wife at the time, Katie Holmes .

The movie star welcomed Oprah Winfrey to his couch in Colorado for an interview in 2008.

The action star’s home is “built for privacy,” as the listing notes, and offers “unspoiled natural beauty.”

Those natural surroundings include mountain vistas and plentiful outdoor pursuits, from skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing in the winter, to golf, horseback riding, hiking, and biking, during warmer months.

“The biggest draw is how much acreage you have,” says Lavey. “The driveway is over a mile along. The privacy level is outrageous, while also being five to nine minutes away from the downtown and the slopes.”

Although the home is now over 25 years old, Lavey notes that it’s in a pristine state, built to the “highest level of construction.”

Accessed via a scenic driveway from a secure gated entry, the picturesque property sits atop an escarpment overlooking Alpine views, and is the “realization of years of planning and vision.”

The interior boasts a top-of-the-line chef’s kitchen, a fitness center, a rec room, a den, an office suite, two fireplaces, multiple terraces, and outdoor space.

In addition to the main home, which is clad in bleached cedar timbers and native stone, there’s an equally impressive three-bedroom guest lodge, set amongst aspen groves.

Enveloped by mountains, the property includes extensive forested trails for exploring the natural surroundings, yet is only minutes to Telluride.

Lavey notes that he’s already had significant interest in the property. A mere two-hour flight from Los Angeles (by private jet), the property is just minutes away from the private airport in town, Lavey notes, another appealing factor for a buyer looking to drop $40 million on a vacation home.

Cruise, who knows how to entertain an audiences at the box office, also seems to have mastered the art of relaxation with this spread.

Known for performing his own stunts, the actor can also claim some action-packed real estate deals. In 2016, he sold the Beverly Hills compound he’d shared with Holmes for $40 million. He pocketed a hefty profit, having bought the posh place in 2007 for $30.5 million.

The year before, he had  handed off his  Hollywood Hills compound to the actress Eva Longoria  for $11.4 million.

The megawatt star is known for his action-packed blockbusters, such as the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, “Top Gun,” and “Minority Report.” He’s currently filming Nos. 7 and 8 in the “Mission: Impossible” series. The long-awaited sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” is due out in July.

Tom Cruise Sells His Longtime Telluride Ranch for $39.5 Million - See Inside!

The 320-acre Colorado property was the setting for the actor's 2008 Oprah interview, and where he and then-fiancee Katie Holmes shared the first photos of daughter Suri in 2006

does tom cruise live in telluride

Tom Cruise is officially saying goodbye to his 320-acre estate in Telluride, Colorado.

The actor, 58, has sold the 7-bedroom, 9-bathroom property where he famously sat down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2008 and, a year and a half earlier, opened up to Vanity Fair alongside then-fiancée Katie Holmes , sharing the first photos of their daughter, Suri.

The home is was listed for $39.5 million in March, with lead agent Eric Lavey and Dan Dockray of Sotheby's International Realty . It has now sold at asking.

According to the home's listing, the secluded, sprawling ranch was "custom-built for privacy, where unspoiled natural beauty, sweeping mountain vistas and outdoor recreation abound."

There's an impressive 11,512 square feet of living space split between an almost 10,000-square-foot main house and a guest house with three bedrooms.

Warm wood is the star of the show throughout the interior, featuring heavily in the furnishings, flooring, walls and even the kitchen's counters and island.

Amenities on the property include a game room that currently holds a billiards table, foosball table and piano; a fitness center; two fireplaces; an outdoor terrace and a three-car garage.

"Enveloped in mountain majesty and boasting extensive forested trails, this secluded estate - accessed via a scenic one-mile drive from a secure gated entry - is only minutes from historic downtown Telluride for world-class skiing and golf," the listing notes.

According to Vanity Fair , Cruise began making plans for the compound more than 30 years ago. He completed it in 1994, and put it on the market for $59 million back in 2014.

In her 2006 interview with Cruise and Holmes, 42, Vanity Fair 's Jane Sarkin described the home as having the feeling "of a sprawling lodge or chalet , with rustic, log-cabin touches-informal, airy, built with honey-colored deadwood from Oregon."

According to Sarkin, Holmes, Cruise and their kids (Suri, then 5 months old, and Cruise's son Connor , now 26, and daughter Isabella , now 28) spent their days at the ranch riding around a makeshift motocross track, jumping on an in-ground trampoline, playing golf and sitting around an outdoor fire pit.

Telluride — a place to ski, a place to hike and a place to live if you’re in the market for a $39.5 million home.

Actor Tom Cruise, popular for his roles in “Top Gun” and “Mission Impossible,” is selling his 11,512-square-foot home. The 320-acre property went on sale Friday.

The custom-built house has seven bedrooms and nine full bathrooms, along with two fireplaces, a three-car garage, fitness center and a recreational area. The guest house has three additional bedrooms.

The house was completed by Cruise in 1994, built with privacy in mind. There is a mile-long driveway going up to the house that Dan Dockray of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty estimates would be about $4 million to build in the present day.

“[The house is] almost invisible from other properties because of where it sits,” said Dockray. “Everybody that’s lived in Telluride knows where it is, but a lot of people haven’t seen the house because you can’t see it from anywhere.”

Seven years ago, Cruise tried to sell his property for $59 million, but it was never publicly listed. Dockray said it was only softly marketed.

“I think [Cruise] wasn’t ready yet, although I can’t speak for the seller’s reasons,” Dockray said.

Dockray is confident this house will be gone in the next three months. Not only is it priced well, Dockray says, but it is also appealing to buyers looking for a change in scenery.

With the pandemic, people have been freed up to work from virtually anywhere. Dockray said that instead of people staying for two weeks out of the year, it could be months given the remote work environment.

Additionally, people who live in compact urban areas don’t have as much to do during a pandemic. The mountains offer a lot of outdoor activities that may appeal to city folk.

“We’ve never actually seen a market this strong — high end, low end, whatever,” Dockray said. “It’s actually super incredible. … I think there’s that lifestyle shift that people are just becoming aware of.”

Inside Tom Cruise’s $40M Telluride Ski Chalet

does tom cruise live in telluride

Mission Impossible mega star Tom Cruise equipped his luxe alpine escape in Telluride, Colorado with all the bells and whistles. The 11,512-square-foot living space was built in 1994, and includes the 10,000-square-foot, four-bedroom main house and a three-bedroom guest house. Tom has owned the mountain retreat since the ’90s and sold the property for $39.4 million last spring. With ski season upon, we thought it was worth a peek. Scroll down!

Nestled deep within rolling meadows and mature forest, the Telluride home holds a lot of history for Tom, according to Dirt.com . It is where he enjoyed time with his children and much of his marriage to actress Katie Holmes. It was also the location of his last major interview with Oprah , who was so taken with his ranch and its views that she bought her own home nearby in 2016.

The grounds are beautiful in all seasons. Outside is a sports court for tennis, basketball or ice hockey and a private trail system. The property’s 298 acres are threaded with hiking and riding trails, and tracks for dirt bikes and snowmobiles — plus there’s a private gate leading to the Uncompahgre National Forest.

The living room features beamed ceilings with bleached cedar timbers, an oversized fieldstone fireplace and charming French windows to frame  dramatic views of the tall peaks outside.

Tom Cruise is a household name but he was born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV in the state of New York and spent part of his childhood in Canada where his father took a job. The Golden Globe winner has been featured in an array of blockbuster movies over the years, including the entire Mission Impossible series of movies as well as Jerry McGuire, Risky Business, Top Gun, and Born on the Fourth of July, just to name a few.

Cruise began acting at the tender age of 16 when he landed the lead role in his high school’s production of Guys and Dolls. His first real movie role was in the wildly popular movie, Endless Love, in which he co-starred with Brooke Shields at the age of 19. He is said to have a net worth of about $570 million.

Cruise has three ex-wives, including Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes. He purchased a beautiful ranch, located in Telluride, Colorado, while married to Nicole Kidman and it is now on the market at a cool $59 million.

The 10,000 square-foot main house is situated on 298 acres of gorgeous land and features four bedrooms, a room for recreation, a gym, and a library . There is also a guest house on the property that offers an additional three bedrooms, which brings the total to seven bedrooms throughout the property along with nine full bathrooms. This beautiful ranch also sports a court that can be used for basketball, ice hockey, tennis, or even a private trail system.

Cruise, who is well-known for his involvement with the Church of Scientology, helped design the home that was completed in 1994. It is constructed of cedar and stone with breath-taking views of the 14,000-foot mountains surrounding the property that includes a private gateway to the Uncompahgre National Forest. There are magnificent riding and hiking trails peppered throughout the entire 298 acres of land.

The property is located just a short drive from some of the world’s most famous ski resorts and 12 minutes down the road is the downtown area of Telluride, the ski town where he married Nicole Kidman in 1990. It also is located just 10 minutes from the Telluride Regional Airport.

If you purchase this fabulous home, you will live in the same area as a famous comedian and actor, Jerry Seinfeld, as well as the popular clothing designer, Ralph Lauren, as they also have homes in Telluride.

If you are interested in residing in the same home that Tom Cruise has lived in, helped create, and has vacationed at with his children over the years, the property is listed with the Sotheby’s International Realty company and their realtors can be contacted for a showing and more information.

Tom Cruise is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. He has starred in major film franchises such as Mission Impossible, Jack Reacher , and Top Gun. He's also been featured in hit films like Jerry Maguire, A Few Good Men, and many others. He is also a four-time Oscar nominee. With a decorated acting resume, he can afford to live in private luxury. An example of this is Tom Cruise's $39.5 million former mansion in Telluride, Colorado.

Around the '90s when Cruise was still establishing his presence in the Hollywood scene, he acquired a nearly 10,000-square-foot mansion situated in the Rocky Mountain neighborhood. The Oscar nominee purchased the property for an undisclosed amount.

Fast forward to 2014, Cruise became open to the idea of selling the Rocky Mountain mansion. As a result, he initially privately listed the property for $59 million. But due to sentimental reasons, Cruise never fully pushed through with the public listing until 2021. After just two months on the market, Cruise sold the property for a cool $39.5 million.

Here are some photos of Tom Cruise's $39.5 million former mansion in Telluride, Colorado.

Cruise's $39.5 million former mansion encompasses 9,894 square feet of living space. The property includes seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It features a spacious living room with a stone fireplace, a pool table, beamed ceilings, a modern kitchen with three refrigerators, and a library.

Outside of the home, Cruise probably didn't have any problems getting some fresh air. Aside from the surplus of green spaces, Cruise also enjoyed views of jets coming from and going to the Telluride Regional Airport from atop a hill. Moreover, the property also has a helipad nearby. With several aviation sightings, one cannot help but think about Cruise's remarkable acting performances in the pair of Top Gun movies.

Tom Cruise is one of the biggest Hollywood stars. So of course he is also one of the highest-paid actors in the industry today. Aside from his lucrative paychecks as an actor and a producer, he also enjoys a lot of earnings from his various endorsement deals. As per Celebrity Net Worth, Tom Cruise has a net worth of around $600 million.

Nevertheless, this is all the information that we have on Tom Cruise's $39.5 million mansion in Telluride, Colorado.

Where Does Tom Cruise Live?

Tom Cruise has been around for decades. You know what classic movies he’s in, but what about where the global star spends most of his time?

Most recently, Tom Cruise can be found a few blocks away from the Church of Scientology’s headquarters in downtown Clearwater, Florida, where he owns a multimillion-dollar two-story penthouse at The SkyView condominium. 

does tom cruise live in telluride

You may know him from his roles in classic movies like Risky Business, Rain Main, and Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in 2020’s Top Gun sequel, but we figured you probably weren’t so familiar with his homes. He has had quite an extensive real estate portfolio, so let’s jump right in. 

His Florida Penthouse 

At the top two floors of a 10-story condominium called The SkyView is Tom Cruise’s most recent (and not so humble) abode. 

It was built by one of the world’s richest Scientologists, Mexican native Moises Agami. 

How Tall Is Tom Cruise? Exact Height Revealed

What is tom cruise’s daily routine, where did tom cruise grow up.

The sweet pad comes complete with a drool-worthy $500,000 private swimming pool and pool garden, a million-dollar (literally) movie theater, a brand-new gym, and a wraparound balcony that overlooks the city. 

The SkyView itself is the largest, tallest building in Clearwater. What a gorgeous view he must get to see every night! 

Of course, with Tom being the second richest actor in the world, he could totally afford all that. And more. 

Let’s look at the “more”.

His Cabin in Telluride, Colorado

Tom scored a cozy 10,000 square-foot cabin near the historic town of Telluride, with 298 acres of land and a breathtaking view of Mt. Wilson to top it off. 

Tom would wind up the private mile-long driveway to his home, then choose which of 7 bedrooms or 9 bathrooms he’d like to spend his time in. 

He could have also opted to lounge in the 1,600 square foot guest house that rests on the property, which boasts 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. That’s what we would do if we had a guest house! 

He purchased it in 1990 with then-wife Nicole Kidman, completing his remodeling of the home in a “log mansion” style in 1994. 

If you want a closer look, check out the video below.

Luxury Beverly Hills Mansion 

Tom bought his Beverly Hills mansion with ex-wife Katie Holmes in 2007 for a cool $30.5 million, though he sold it in 2016 for $40 million. 

The house is a gorgeous stone mansion that sits on an acre of land off the very famous Coldwater Canyon Drive , where celebrity sightings are a dime a dozen (think Ellen DeGeneres or Ryan Seacrest). 

This high-end space also reaches about 10,000 square feet, just like his Colorado home. 

How many bathrooms do you think it has? Nine of course!

Not to mention seven bedrooms, several guest houses, a tennis court, a swimming pool, and even a playground! 

Can we come over for the weekend, please? 

He Also Had An “European-Style” Home Nearby

In Laurel Canyon, Tom bought a European-style estate that many deemed didn’t quite “ fit ” him. 

The mansion rested on two and a half acres of land in the beautiful Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles, making this home his second in the city in addition to the mansion he also owned in Beverly Hills. 

Imagine having plank floors made of oak and cathedral-like vaulted ceilings. These features ran all throughout the two-story house and its three bedrooms. 

Of course, a guesthouse was also on the property, housing four bedrooms, bathrooms, and a kitchen. 

We couldn’t forget to mention that there was also a wine-tasting room and storage area. 

His Two New York Area Properties 

Are we surprised that he owned two properties in the Big Apple as well? Nope, we aren’t! 

In 2013 he sold his 2,200 square foot condo at the American Felt Building for $3 million. Located on 13th Street, the building was constructed back in 1984, the year the actor starred in “Risky Business”. 

Oddly enough, Tom decided to lower the ceilings in this apartment to nine feet tall , and still, no one really knows why. The American Felt Building has 41 units with very high ceilings, so his choice stuck out to many. 

Beyond that, this condo offers two bedrooms and a gym. It seems a little more on the modest side compared to Cruise’s other luxury homes.

However, in that same year, Tom also bought a gorgeous townhouse located in Greenwich Village on West 12th street. Built back in 1860, it had 8,300 square feet of space between six floors — and that excluded the rooftop patio! 

The East Grinstead Mansion

Last on our list is the East Grinstead Mansion located in the United Kingdom, just 30 miles south of London. He and his wife at the time, Katie Holmes, purchased the mansion in 2006. 

This beautiful mansion is not short on space with over 11,000 square feet, 6 bedrooms, with 5 full and 2 half-baths. It also has a gym, a movie theater, and a private dance studio. 

We’re not surprised that this home is only a few miles from the Church of Scientology’s UK headquarters, a group he has been affiliated with since 1990.

Tom Cruise Apparently Sold His L.A. Mansion to Live in a Clearwater, Florida, Condo

The king of Hollywood has left for a town in Florida.

Tom Cruise Joins Instagram — And Teases Mission: Impossible 6: 'Get Ready'

The record-breaking success of Mission: Impossible—Fallout proves that Tom Cruise can still lay claim to the title King of Hollywood, though he may no longer meet the residency requirements. After he offloaded his massive Beverly Hills compound for about $40 million in 2016, and listed his Telluride estate for $59 million around the same time, People magazine reports that Cruise has now relocated to far more humble residences: a condo in a suburb of Tampa, Florida. It’s a penthouse unit, but a condo in Clearwater nonetheless.

While the city has also been, at some points, home to fellow luminaries like Kirstie Alley and Hulk Hogan, it’s not exactly the kind of place you’d expect a Hollywood megastar to wind up, even by Florida standards. It’s not Miami Beach or West Palm Beach. It’s not even Fort Lauderdale. (Cruise reportedly balances out the Florida-ness of his new life by spending plenty of time living in hotels in London, a city he fell in love with while filming the Mission: Impossible movies and where his daughter Isabella Cruise lives with her husband, Max Parker.)

The local Tampa Bay business press has, of course, taken an active interest in the city’s most famous resident, and linked Cruise to a 12-story former bank tower in the downtown district. A company associated with the star apparently snagged up several units in the building for a grand total of about $11.8 million. That’s paltry compared to the $40 million mansion he left behind in California, but it’s quite the sum total by Tampa Bay standards. In fact, all together, Cruise’s real estate haul totaled more than the most expensive home sold in the greater Tampa Bay area, ever .

The building comes with several amenities, but it was likely its location that caught Cruise’s interest. It’s practically across the street from the worldwide headquarters of the Church of Scientology, the ever controversial religion that Cruise is an increasingly prominent part of.

Indeed, the tower Cruise is linked to is a development project of a fellow Scientologist, and comes at a time when the church seems to be keen to increase its control over the future and development of the city’s downtown, according to the L.A. Times .

The opening of Scientology’s Flag Building (also known as the Super Power Building) is said to be one of the proudest points of the Scientology leader David Miscavige’s reign (Cruise is purportedly best friends with Miscavige, or, at least, was at one point), and it’s estimated that somewhere around 12,000 of the city’s 114,361 residents are members of the church. Among them is said to be Cruise’s son, Connor, who, according to some reports, now works on a fishing boat in the area.

So this is Tom Cruise’s life now. Every once in a while, he flies across the Atlantic to visit his daughter and get some work done, but mostly he’s just a simple Florida single father who gets to hang out with his son and his best bud more often now. Oh, and do whatever it is they do in Scientology.

Entertainment | tom cruise’s daughter suri will soon be free to talk about their estrangement and scientology: report, with suri cruise turning 18 this week, she should be free to speak out about her father, his beliefs and their rift, a scientology expert says in a new report.

Tom Cruise’s three ex-wives, Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes, probably would have a lot to say about being married to the famously intense mega-star and their time inside his beloved Church of Scientology.

But these women have mostly kept Cruise’s secrets, with experts in the inner workings of Scientology saying that Kidman and Holmes, in particular, probably signed non-disclosure agreements when their marriages to the “Top Gun” actor ended.

But no such agreement probably applies to Cruise’s youngest child, Suri Cruise, from whom he’s long been estranged, Page Six reported . With Suri turning 18 on Thursday, she and her mother Katie Holmes should no longer receive the reported $400,000 a year Cruise paid as part of a divorce settlement. Cruise also agreed to pay Suri’s college and health care costs, Page Six added.

As an adult, Suri Cruise should be free to speak out about her father, his beliefs and their rift, journalist and Scientology expert Tony Ortega told Page Six.

“Suri would have been too young to sign any agreement (when her parents divorced in 2012), but she will now be free to talk if she wants to and it’s going to be really interesting if she has something to say,” Ortega said.

Page Six said that representatives for Cruise, Holmes and the Church of Scientology did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

It’s possible that Suri may choose to stay silent about her famous father. For one thing, if she gave an interview or published a tell-all about him, she’d probably have to give up the mostly private life she’s been able to enjoy thus far. People credit a protective Holmes with trying to give Suri as normal life as is possible under the circumstances, while raising her in New York City.

“Katie has safeguarded Suri and she’s a devoted mom,” a source told Page Six. “This is a girl who is a private citizen. She hasn’t lived her life in public.”

Suri’s life, though, started out in a very public way. As Page Six pointed out, she was once “the most famous baby in America” because of the very high-profile way that Cruise conducted his courtship of the “Dawson’s Creek” star, who was 16 years younger that Cruise when they began dating. When news came that Cruise and Holmes had become parents to a baby daughter in April 2006, a global frenzy erupted, with media outlets competing to be the first to publish the little girl’s photos.

At the age of five months, Suri Cruise made her debut on the cover of Vanity Fair, in a glossy photo taken by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz.

For the first six years of Suri’s life, Cruise seemed to dote on his youngest daughter and enjoy being seen with her in public. He also is the father of two older children, Isabella, now 31, and Connor Cruise, now 29, whom he adopted with Kidman.

But Suri’s relationship with her father changed after Holmes reportedly “blindsided” him by filing for divorce in 2012. The following year, Cruise gave a deposition in his $50 million court fight against a pair of tabloid magazines and admitted that Holmes filed for divorce “to protect Suri from Scientology,” court documents revealed, Page Six reported.

There have been questions about whether Holmes and her daughter were declared Scientology “suppressive persons,” or SPs, after the divorce. According to Scientology , SPs are people who have “anti-social” personalities who seek to “upset, continuously undermine, spread bad news about and denigrate betterment activities and groups.” Scientology recommends that members stay away from SPs for their own well-being, but the church’s own website said it is “extremely rare” to label someone an SP.

“We don’t know for sure if Katie was ever declared an SP,” Ortega told Page Six. A regular church member, whose wife and daughter left Scientology, would be encouraged to disconnect from them, but Cruise might have been spared that option because of his “top celebrity” status. “He gets to ignore all this stuff,” Ortega said.

In any case, Holmes secured sole custody of their daughter, while Cruise retained “meaningful” visitation rights, according to The Blast . Yet, public sightings of Cruise with his daughter soon dwindled, with Page Six saying they were last seen together at Disney World in the summer of 2012.

Even if Suri has lived a mostly private life, paparazzi are known to follow her and her mother Katie Holmes around the streets of Manhattan. Still, as Suri reportedly prepares to head off to college, Holmes revealed in a 2023 interview with Glamour that she has grown up to be “an incredible person.”
