Mel Gibson's Former Greenwich Estate Sold: Report

GREENWICH, CT — Mel Gibson's former estate, located in the backcountry area of Greenwich, has been sold, the Greenwich Time reports. The mansion, located at 124 Old Mill Road, was purchased by the actor in 1994 and was most recently owned by Cossette Properties.

Town records indicate Cosette sold the property to 124 OM LLC for $13.25 million, and the transaction was finalized Dec. 18, according to the Greenwich Time.

A 2015 listing for Gibson's former mansion boasted features such as a pool, putting greens, a tennis court and a walk-in fireplace, in addition to 15 bedrooms and a six-stall horse stable.

Earlier this year, Cosette submitted a plan to the town's Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency that entailed combining four lots on Old Mill Road into one parcel and building 28 new condos across approximately 75 acres of land.

According to Director Of Environmental Affairs Patricia Sesto, the plan drew some negative reactions from residents during a public hearing held in August.

"As expressed at the meeting, there was concern about the intensity of the development," Sesto said to Patch, "and its potential impact to the wetlands and watercourses."

In October, Sesto confirmed Cosette had withdrawn the application. At the time, the project developers did not indicate if they would be resubmitting the application.

"When somebody withdraws, there's no time limit for when they can come back or if they can come back," Sesto said to Patch, "so that's their prerogative or someone else's prerogative."
