Bruce Willis’ $13 Million Country Estate Is For Sale

Douglas Elliman Real Estate

Butch Coolidge and Korben Dallas would never live in a bucolic country estate in Bedford Corners, New York, which is why it’s so shocking that action movie superstar Bruce Willis did. The picturesque pastoral escape must have bored the hell out of the German-born Die Hard actor, since he listed the 22.60-acre home at 340 Croton Lake Road for sale at $12,950,000.

The WSJ says Willis and his wife Emma Heming are seeking sunnier pastures with a move to the west coast to be closer to family. Maybe he’ll buy Nicolas Cage’s mansion in San Francisco? (Just don’t forget your gold watch, Bruno.)

The property for sale in Westchester County sits 40 miles north of NYC on two tax lots and technically consists of three houses, a “staff house,” and 12 total bedrooms.

The yearly real estate tax alone is $180,863.

Why Willis needed all this space is beyond us, seeing as he’s only got five kids (all daughters), and only two are young enough to be living with their ‘rents.

The main house has three levels, five bedrooms, a library, two-car garage, awesome tower room, kid’s gym, wine room, gaming room, and regular adult gym. The second house dubbed the “George Washington,” has a library, wine cellar, and three upstairs bedrooms. Oh, and we forgot there’s an office house as well. And three bedrooms bigger than our apartments.

Welcome to the party, pal.

A long walk around the property — which looks like it’s situated beside the Bird Box river — also encompasses a salt-water pool, tennis court, vegetable garden, additional detached two-car garage, and then another three-car garage. Because he’s Bruce m’fing Willis (and yes, Die Hard is a Christmas movie).

So if you’re a father of 12 in need of a new secluded property where you and your spawn can relax in antique farmhouse fashion, we say shell out that $13 million and lock down this spot.

Honestly, the more we explore the more we’d be very into living in the swank domain of the baddest bald dude in Hollywood. The interior design blends rustic sensibilities with an organic modern edge, plenty of open space, views of the water, and state-of-the-art audio and video security.

Add to that climate-controlled cellars, multiple fireplaces, a cabana lounge near the pool, and an overall craftsman appearance and yeah, I guess we can see Coolidge and Dallas ditching their gruff, urban setting for this wooded retreat.

Save a room for Samuel L. Jackson if he wants to visit.

Don’t ruin your cigars: here’s how to properly season a new humidor
Seasoning secrets every cigar lover could use

If you're a newcomer to the world of cigars or just bought a brand-new humidor, you'll need to season it. And no, I'm not saying to add salt and pepper to it. If you've never heard of it, you might ask, "What is seasoning for a humidor?"

Don't think you need to flavor the box or anything — seasoning is really about getting the wood inside your humidor so as not to rob your cigars of precious moisture. Easy to understand, and getting it done is relatively straightforward as well. The trick is figuring out the "why," and we'll get into that in a bit. But let's first discuss seasoning a humidor.

The NBA’s ultimate celebration tool: The victory cigar
A look at the players and coaches who smoke to celebrate

Sports are synonymous with celebration. After winning the biggest trophy of their lives, athletes want to indulge in the payoff that comes with seeing their dreams realized. Teams go into the locker room, where a waterfall of champagne hits them in the eyes, and swimming goggles seem to be a requirement, lest you walk around on the best night of your life half blind. While drinking is often the activity of choice after winning a championship, the NBA has an alternative symbol of greatness that other sports don't use nearly enough: the victory cigar.

Basketball is a team game, but it's also an individual canvas for solo superstardom. After winning an NBA championship, the coaches and players who sit atop the throne have long smoked a cigar in the locker room, during the parade, or even on the bench before the clock has hit zero. There's nothing quite like a good stogie to signify the ultimate win over the rest of the league, but how did the victory cigar get so ingrained in NBA championship celebrations? We want to take a walk down memory lane and look at some of the historical moments and people who made the cigar what it is within the NBA today.

The best medical shows of all time to binge now
From ER to The Pitt, these are the best medical shows ever made
Noah Wyle in the Pitt

Throughout TV's long history, the medical drama has occupied a somewhat unique place in the landscape. Medical shows are often some of the most reliable on TV precisely because there's so much drama built in to working in a hospital.

Personally, I've found the medical drama to be deeply comforting for years, even if I have no desire to be a doctor myself. Understanding the stress of people in the healthcare profession is fascinating in and of itself.
