In 2017, after splitting from her longtime partner, actress Jane Fonda got herself a
bachelorette pad in Los Angeles.
The former couple sold their eco-conscious Beverly Hills mansion and Jane picked herself
up a massive Mediterranean-style townhouse for over 5 million dollars which is where
she still currently lives.
From mega mansions to a New Mexico ranch, Ms Fonda's property collection is quite
impressive, and today we're going to take a look.
In these videos we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour
of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not
safe for anyone.
In 2017, after splitting from her longtime partner Richard Perry and offloading their
Beverly Hills estate, Jane picked herself up her current home which serves as the ultimate
breezy bachelorette pad.
Located in Century City, a neighbourhood on the west side of Los Angeles, Jane's current
three-level home could be considered humble for a Hollywood star like herself.
The crib may be labelled as a townhome, but spanning 6,679 square feet of space, it's
more like a mansion.
The actress' home is tucked away in a guard-gated community and residents of the Century Woods
complex have access to a variety of amenities such as a community clubhouse, tennis courts
and indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
Jane paid 5.45 million dollars in cash for the 2015-built property, and inside there
are 4 beds and 7 baths throughout.
The exterior of the tall home is charming, with stucco walls and terracotta roofs, along
with a fountain out front.
Despite the large size of the place, it's easily accessible thanks to the elevator which
services all the floors.
The airy and private courtyard out front leads into the entry hall and stairway, where you'll
also find the study as well as some of the common living spaces.
The formal living room features a fireplace, as well as a wood-panelled ceiling and grey
and white colour scheme.
Nearby, there's a 12-person dining room.
Jane's spacious kitchen and family room are open concept style, and the kitchen is
arranged around a large centre island with snack bar, while there's also an extra serving
corner to entertain guests.
The attached family room boasts plush couches and opens up to a shaded courtyard.
Out on the cosy courtyard, you'll find cream-coloured tiles that blend in well, along with plenty
of space to lounge.
Jane's grand master suite is roomy, with both a fireplace and vaulted ceilings, as
well as two walk-in closets and a large private balcony.
Her ensuite bath is spa style, with a glass shower and soaking tub.
The house boasts a staff or guest room with bath on the main floor, with two more on the
second level, all with their own balconies.
Finally, there's an office media room on the third level that opens to a beautiful
rooftop terrace, perfect for checking out the views and taking in that California weather.
Altogether, Jane's mansion-sized townhome provides a light and airy atmosphere with
comforting, neutral colours and light woods throughout.
Just before Jane bought her current century city home, she put her contemporary Beverly
Hills estate up on the market.
Following her split from Richard Perry, with whom she shared the mansion, the former couple
decided that they would let go of the property they lived in since 2012.
Considering Jane and Richard spent $7.3 million on the home and finally sold it for about
$8.5 million in 2018, they at least turned a slight profit.
The eco-conscious crib was located in the trendy and expensive Truesdale Estates.
This neighbourhood of Beverly Hills is a fancy community stuffed with fellow celebrities.
Built in a modern style, Jane's former residence spanned 7,102 square feet in space, with four
beds and 6.5 baths throughout.
In a video, Jane once said that she instantly knew the Beverly Hills of Vogue was for her
the second she drove through the gates and saw the sharp architectural design and shiny
stainless steel garage doors.
According to the actress, the home simply had taste.
Another feature Jane loved inside this home was the kitchen, which opened through walls
of glass to a terrace boasting amazing views.
From there you could see the canyon and the mountains, and the views reminded Jane of
the Southern California setting she grew up in back in the late 30s and 40s.
While the home was built in 1961, it had been majorly remodeled and stocked with updates
since then, and the exteriors were decked out in wood siding with stone accents.
It was set behind private gates on a lot spanning nearly an acre of land, and there were eco-friendly
add-ons such as bamboo floors, bioethanol fireplaces, UV thermal glass windows, and
more.
The stainless steel front door opened up into the entry gallery, which had a dramatic all-glass
elevator.
I think that elevators seem to be a trend in Jane's properties.
The home offered plenty of connected common spaces on the upper level, including a step-down
living room with floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and wall of windows.
Jane's home also offered a dining room, and a kitchen with walnut cabinets, fancy
appliances, and much more.
This space opened to a small and cozy den.
Jane's one-time office was just off of this room, and it boasted built-in bookshelves
and windows looking out to the peaceful woods.
One of the guest bedrooms, if not more, had its own terrace, while the bright master bedroom
had a two-level sitting room, spacious sleeping quarters, double bathrooms, and a walk-in
dressing room and closet.
The lower level of the crib offered hardwood flooring and a media lounge that looked like
a music studio, also with a bar and a home gym.
This space opened to the private backyard, where there was a covered outdoor lounge with
plush furnishings, along with open terraces and a meditation garden with fountain.
The solar-heated swimming pool overlooked amazing scenery, and there was a nearby viewing
platform with a fire pit to catch the best sunsets.
Let's not forget that Jane also once owned a stunning ranch in New Mexico.
Called the Forked Lightning Ranch, this was where the actress once went to escape the
Hollywood bustle.
She purchased the 1925-built ranch back in 2000, and renovated the property immensely,
even building a main Spanish colonial-style main house dubbed the River House, which spanned
over 9,500 square feet of space.
She listed her beautiful ranch in 2015 for $19.5 million, and sold it in an off-market
deal for an unknown amount.
This unique property was full of character, and sat on 2,300 acres of land just east of
Santa Fe, right on the Picos River.
It's actually next to Picos National Historical Park, and the property is the middle section
of what used to be a 13,000 acre cattle ranch.
When Jane got her hands on the sprawling property, the only house was a two-bedroom log cabin
where she lived for three years while constructing her custom family mansion.
Jane said about her former ranch,
The moment I stepped on the property, I knew it was home.
Its sheer beauty made my hair stand on end.
In the living room, Jane designed the space with a carved wood chandelier that resembled
elk antlers, as well as a fireplace and a set of French doors.
The dining room had towering wood-beamed ceilings like much of the common spaces, and another
carved and rustic chandelier.
The actress wanted to recreate the look of traditional New Mexico ranch homes, and it
appears that she was successful, adding many of the classic features like adobe walls,
a tin roof, antique doors, and more.
The home boasted a handcrafted appearance and feel that also blended with modern features.
Elsewhere in the house, there was an upstairs galleria with more antiques on display, and
Jane's master suite with a headboard she designed herself, a sitting area with fireplace,
more wood-beamed ceilings, and a vintage dressing room.
So now we've taken a look at legendary actress Jane Fonda and three of her properties past
and present.
While each of the estates were completely different, we can tell she has quite the eye
for real estate and design.
Even downsizing to what's dubbed a townhome is still a stylish, mansion-sized abode in
the heart of LA.
Out of the three properties, which did you like best?
Personally, I'm a fan of that New Mexico ranch.
The design was so thoughtful and unique, and it also seemed to be the most warm and welcoming
out of the three.
But that's just me.
Be sure to let me know your thoughts on her homes down in the comments.
Thanks for watching!
