High Point Estate, Jon Bon Jovi’s custom, Robert A.M. Stern-designed mansion in New Jersey, is unsold and off the market. Bon Jovi initially listed the formal riverfront estate two years ago this month, and caused a bit of speculation by offering it ‘price on request’; about a year later, the property was relisted at $20 million.
Still no dice at even that price, so the 1999-built Chateau was apparently yanked from the open market later in 2021; no current listing can be found. So Bon Jovi decided to switch his focus to a sale in New York. This month, the rock-a-roller put a condo in Greenwich Village he’s owned for about five years up for sale for $22 million.
Bon Jovi’s no stranger to fine Manhattan residences; back in the 2015, he sold a Soho penthouse he’d owned for nearly a decade for $34 million. A year later, he parted with a duplex in the West Village for $16 million.
The current outgoing unit is part of the Greenwich Lane complex. It contains four bedrooms and four baths across 3,951 sq. ft. Its shared spaces begin with a central entrance gallery, and include a living room that’s 40 feet in length; floor-to-ceiling glass makes it feel even larger. Adjacent to the living room is the corner master; the suite occupies nearly a quarter of the available floor space, and includes a large walk-in closet and dressing room.
The substantial outbox goings-on haven’t stopped Jon Bon Jovi from doing a bit of house hunting, or even closing on a new estate. In the months since he initially listed High Point, he has taken time out from touring with the fellas to shell out $43 million on an estate in Palm Beach. The Caribbean-inspired property is anchored by a 10,232 sq. ft. house. It represents a substantial upgrade over a newly built, ocean-facing home he sold for $20 million in the area around the same time. A pesky roadway separates that home from the sand, apparently a no-no for the New Jersey native who seems to carry his sense of perfectionism from the music world to the real estate one. And so, the new home, with all its attendant trophy aspirations, appropriately sits right on the beach. Nothing less than the best for Mr. Bon Jovi, who’s come a long way—deservingly—since he was a fresh-faced 17-year-old sweeping floors at his cousin’s recording studio.
Bon Jovi won’t be lounging much in the perfectly manicured patch of green in his backyard; he and the boys hit the road for the pandemic-delayed Bon Jovi 2022 Tour. It kicks off on April 1st—no joke.
