Drew Barrymore Finds a Buyer for Her $5 Million Self-Designed New York Estate

"“We had an incredible amount of interest and several strong offers, which made the process really exciting,” reads a statement from listing agent Kori Sassower. “In the end, it all came down to the land and the home's truly unique features. We're so happy to have found a buyer who genuinely appreciates the thoughtful updates and special details throughout the home; it really feels like the right match.”"

"Barrymore, who paid $4.4 million for the dwelling in May 2024, would want to find a new owner who fully appreciates the property. She completely overhauled the 5,600-square-foot home, which dates to 1747, personally handling the interior decorating. “It was like a strange, spiritual calling,” the 50 First Dates star told The Wall Street Journal of her attraction to the house, which she planned to keep as a weekend spot away from her New York City pad."

"But when a cosmetic lift turned into a complete gut renovation, time had changed her and her family's priorities. That's not to say that Barrymore never stayed at the property; while overseeing its overhaul, she “lived in the house in the most primitive of scenarios,” she told the WSJ, including when it had no kitchen or running water and meals were exclusively cooked on the outdoor grill. “It's some of my favorite times and memories.”"

Drew Barrymore found a buyer for her self-designed 12-acre estate in Harrison, New York, after listing it in late March for just under $5 million. The property is now pending for an undisclosed amount. Barrymore paid $4.4 million for the home in May 2024 and spent about two years renovating it. The 5,600-square-foot house dates to 1747 and underwent a complete gut renovation after an initial cosmetic plan. Barrymore personally handled interior decorating and lived on-site during the overhaul, including periods without a kitchen or running water, with meals cooked on an outdoor grill. The sale process drew strong interest and offers, with the land and unique features cited as key factors.
