For anyone looking for a home with charm of New England and lots of natural light, we have the perfect property for you – as you happen to have $ 5 million to spend, that is. John Travolta is unloading the 20-acre 20-bedroom complex and the late wife Kelly Preston – and it’s a pretty spectacular piece of property on the private island of Islesboro in Maine. (See all the Realtor.com photos!) The couple bought the house in 1991, shortly after they got married.
The beautifully maintained estate was in Architectural Digest in 1999 in honor of its classic lines and expansive land. Their decorator, Christopher B. Boshears, described their interior design style as an English country house living in New England. “John and Kelly are coming to Maine to relax,” he told the magazine. “The house had to be comfortable, but the structure required elegance.”

There is also plenty to do outside the home. Take a dip in the pool in the ground, have a drink on the back deck or walk out to the detached garage / barn to visit your car collection. The spectacular views of the coast are also not one you should miss, and this property has a deep water port on the Sabbath day harbor, as well as many hiking trails, gardens and access to the beach.
We can not imagine the parties that Travolta and Preston held to the Maine House; fellow scientist Kirstie Alley has been a neighbor on the island for decades. She also recently sold her home in Isleboro – is it a coincidence or is Travolta just taking off after the loss of his wife? Regardless, the Fat star’s home is at stake, with plenty of leeway – and some stories to tell. If only those walls could talk.
