Mariah Carey can’t find a buyer for her mansion in Sandy Springs County (Georgia, USA). At least, at the price that you would like to sell it: acquired in December 2021 for 5.6 million euros, it was put on the market for an additional 800,000 euros this past fall but has been forced to lower it to the 5.1 million that it asks for in the present. Even if she manages to sell it for this figure, she will lose money. That the successful actor Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson, one of the highest paid in Hollywood, lived for a while in the mansion, does not seem like a sufficient incentive for the market.
Why this need to get rid of the mansion even losing money? Perhaps the fact that the farm was robbed last summer has a lot to do with it.
Built in 1992, the lot includes the 17,000 m2 farm on which this 1,200 m2 house is located and where Carey has only lived for a few months. It consists of nine bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, a huge kitchen with top-of-the-line equipment and an abundance of white marble, a huge family room with a fireplace, French doors, a cinema room and a gym with mirrored walls. The singer gave the property her personal stamp by having most of the upholstery removed to put in a pink and cream rug and a pink chandelier in the foyer and a giant velvet headboard in the master bedroom, which also includes a fireplace and French doors.
The estate adds a spacious guest apartment with a fireplace, a swimming pool with a changing room (so to speak), a densely wooded area, dense forests and a children’s playground. The thousands of meters of lawns that surround the mansion are bordered by well-tended plantings and mature specimen trees.
Although Carey owns several houses – notably a triplex penthouse in Manhattan, a beachfront complex in the Bahamas – sometimes she prefers to pay a very high rent to stay in someone else’s house. As we published in La Vanguardia, she spent part of her quarantine locked up in a luxurious mansion with a violin-shaped pool in Westchester County (New York) and has rented houses in both Los Angeles and the Hamptons in recent years. .
