Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake

Grammy winning singer Justin Timberlake has delved into film entertainment in recent years and has now made news in the real estate world. The popstar purchased a nearly 10-acre property in the residential area of Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles in 2002 for $8.3 million. Ten years later, Timberlake married actress Jessica Biel and the duo have two children together. Additionally, the celebrity couple owns further properties in New York City, Montana, and Tennessee although, reportedly, have been spending less time in Los Angeles. This has presumably led them to listing their Hollywood Hills abode on the market. The expansive compound has been offered at a whopping price of $35 million.

Timberlake and Biel’s former residence has a history of acclaimed owners. In the 1940s, Golden Age actor Errol Flynn allegedly used the space to build a compound with hidden passageways, peepholes, and two-way mirrors, according to the book “Errol Flynn Slept Here” by Robert Matzen and Michael Mazzone. Later, American actress Helen Hunt built a house on the roughly 3-acre property that she sold to Timberlake in 2002. Timberlake then purchased an additional 7-acre lot behind the primary residence for further privacy.

Resting on an expansive 10-acre lot, the Spanish style villa serves as the primary residence spanning approximately 13,000 square feet with seven bedrooms. The gated estate offers luxe amenities fit for a star with a screening room, gym, tennis court, separate guesthouse, and outdoor entertaining space with a wooden ceiling patio wrapping around the house. Stepping outside, the exterior presents a hot tub overlooking the San Fernando Valley and a swimming pool running the entire length of the home before spilling into a separate plunge pool. Furthermore, the lush lawn highlights large rolling greens and a charming vegetable garden unique to the Hollywood Hills landscape.

Justin Paul Huchel and Drew Fenton of Hilton & Hyland represent this property.

Locals will point to the recession-proof industries (healthcare and government jobs abound,) the healthy economy, great live music, or maybe the year-round nice weather. Nashville has always had a vibe. Unabashedly Southern, young and creative, with a 'work hard, play hard' mentality.

One of Nashville's poster boy's–rocker, songwriter Jack White is partly responsible for the recent Music City heat. He opened a Third Man Records store there in 2009. Secret live shows and regular appearances at local bars and coffee shops showed aspiring songwriters that if Nashville is cool enough for Detroit-born Jack, it must not be just any ordinary city.

"If I've done anything to help anything in the music scene or the art world in Nashville, I'm proud of it,” White told the Tennessean.

Other famous Nashville residents include Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Billy Ray Cyrus, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. As the real estate market in Nashville continues to thrive, we have rounded up the hottest Nashville digs of your favorite celebrities.

Taylor Swift's Nashville High Life

Swift came up in the music industry singing at the Blue Bird Cafe in Nashville and keeps a penthouse at The Adelicia Nashville in Midtown. Her $2 million apartment has 3 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Swift has been spotted enjoying a morning cup of joe from one of her two balconies that overlook the city. When in Nashville, Swift enjoys hiking nearby at Radnor Lake and popping into Fido for coffee and a quick bite.

Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari Go Farming Nashville-Style

After listing their 20,000 square-foot mega-mansion, Cutler and Cavallari have purchased a hobby farm in Leiper’s Fork, 30 miles southwest of downtown Nashville.

With the couple's new E! reality show, Very Cavallari appearing to be a hit, the couple may not have a lot of time to sit on the front porch and enjoy the 10-acres of rolling hills. At least, Kristin won't. She's opening a brick and mortar version of her online retail store, Uncommon James, in the high-end Gulch district of Nashville. Cutler, on the other hand, said on camera that he's "not looking to do a lot of work right now. I'm looking to do the exact opposite of that," since retiring as an NFL Quarterback in 2017.

Cutler's appearances on the reality show as an unkept Paul Rudd-type who spends his days loafing about, avoiding conversations and watching deer cams on his iPad, has turned him into an unwitting reality star.

The 10,307-square-foot house sits on the high point of a hill. The wrap around porch, hardwood floors and exposed rough ceiling beam, along with custom moldings and millwork, pay homage to a traditional farmhouse. The open-living plan, crystal chandelier over the grand entrance hall and baby grand in the music room add a touch of high-brow class. It's almost as if the home itself is half rustic Cutler and half chic Cavallari. Seems like the perfect place for this unique couple to raise their children.

Justin Timberlake Makes Music City His New Hometown.

Timberlake and Jessica Biel have been spending more of their free time in Nashville. So much so, that Justin recently referred to the area as his new "hometown." The couple own 127 acres in Leiper's Fork–just outside of the city and not too far away from where Justin grew up in Memphis.

Locals often see Justin shopping at White’s Mercantile or grabbing dinner with Jessica at Puckett's restaurant. Actively involved with the community, Timberlake recently signed on as partner and producer of Pilgrimage Music and Cultural Festival nearby in Franklin, Tennessee.

Justin and Jessica love having a place where their kids can grow up playing in streams and running through fields, in addition to having great creative opportunities at their doorstep.

And you yourself can travel the starlit highway, as that real estate celebrity route from New York City to L.A. and vice versa, is open to all. For the right price, of course.

Goin’ Downtown 

Justin Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel. Meg Ryan. Jake Gyllenhaal. Jennifer Lawrence. What do these celebs have in common? They live in one of NYC's most sought-after buildings: 443 Greenwich. What’s drawing such high-profiled celebrities downtown? The VIP must-haves: privacy, space, luxury and location.

Located in Tribeca, 443 Greenwich offers an incomparable combination of swanky space, ideal location and privacy in a building known for being “paparazzi-proof.” A few apartments in this building are currently available for rent. For either $32,500 or $42,500 per month, you could be neighbors with Jennifer Lawrence. The apartments’ features include floor-to-ceiling windows, lofted ceilings, custom-wood paneling, heated floors and towel bars, a marble-covered master bath, unparalleled light exposure and many more amenities.

Your morning run could begin with your taking the elevator with JT and his lovely wife, Jessica. Not a bad way to start your day.

As a 443 Greenwich resident, you would enjoy a portfolio of hyper-amenities: a 24-hour doorman, 24-hour concierge, valet and live-in resident manager, a 71-foot indoor swimming pool, playroom, landscaped roof terrace (5,000 square feet), landscaped courtyard (4,000 square feet), fitness center, private fitness studios, as well as separate locker rooms with an adjacent hammam (Turkish bath). Another luxe amenity exclusive to 443 Greenwich is an on-site private garage (with private entrance) and valet service.

Word on the street is that JT’s other NYC apartment - located in Soho - is on the market for approximately $8 million. Timberlake’s Soho condo is approximately 2,600 square feet with three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and a wraparound terrace.

The Timberlake-Biels’ Tribeca pad, which has four bedrooms, four-plus bathrooms and a terrace that’s nearly as big as the apartment itself, seems to be more conducive (than their Soho pad) for this growing family who still desires to live downtown in upscale million-dollar-celeb luxury.

You'd win the celebrity lotto with either of these two downtown apartments.

Real Time in L.A.

Justin Bieber is rumored to be interested in purchasing a $10.9-million home in Los Angeles. You could beat him to the punch. Neighbors include Lebron James and John Travolta.

These sweet digs include 7,890 square feet of modern contemporary cool that will softly caress you with its soaring ceilings, open floor plan, natural bright light and panoramic city/ocean views. The front entrance welcomes you into a foyer that boasts 27-foot ceilings and the living area is situated below with a towering two-story contemporary fireplace.

Other celeb amenities include rooftop deck with jacuzzi, an infinity pool with a live backdrop of the City of Angels, a fire pit and on-site spa.

And in celebrity-realty fashion, this pad - fit for the Biebers of the world - also includes: a custom chandelier that hangs suspended through a three-story floating staircase as the cohesive art piece that it is, a sleek chef’s kitchen, a lavish waterfall-edge, seven-foot-long onyx bar, automated floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open across the main level to a wrap-around balcony that embraces city, canyon and ocean views. Bieber and his friends could jam here in LA luxury musician style.

Movin’ On Up

To the East side. In that deluxe apartment in the sky. Words that J-Rod is singing these days in NYC. Because when you're J-Rod, you go big and you go home. To Park Avenue.

Power couple Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez just purchased some new digs for just over $15 million. On the UES. On the 36th floor of the towering 432 Park Avenue building, the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere. And there are other apartments currently on the market in this building. Imagine living here and working out in the gym next to J Lo or A-Rod. Could there be any better incentive for you to get into shape?

This building boasts a deluge of celebrity-style amenities: private parking, a personal chef serving three meals a day, a state-of-the-art gym with yoga and Pilates studios, sauna and steam rooms, a cinema and private elevators.

And if this Park Avenue feast doesn’t wet your appetite, move on over to the Upper West Side where your neighbors would be Steven Spielberg, Steve Martin or Bruce Willis.

Upper West Side apartments are currently available at 271 Central Park West and One West End. Bruce Willis just recently sold his UWS digs at 271 Central Park West: roughly a 6,000-square-foot apartment with 150 feet of Central Park frontage. Willis has also owned Upper West Side homes in the El Dorado and Trump Place. Willis has said that he will “always be an Upper West Side guy. I’ve been living up here on and off since the ’70s.” This celeb obviously knows his New York real estate. And true to his word, Willis has recently purchased another apartment at One West End.

At either of these UWS digs (271 Central Park West or One West End), you would be living in Willis' Die Hard fashion. Now that's living like a celeb.

With this impressive real estate on their books, it makes sense that Timberlake and Biel decided they don't need two Manhattan apartments. They're hanging on to the larger $20-million Tribeca duplex, making their "starter" apartment–one of the finest penthouses in SOHO–available for $8 million.

Designed by architect Gwathmey Siegel in 2007, the metal-and-glass Soho Mews features spacious well-lit, loft-style condos that have stunning views of Soho's famous Cast Iron district.

The crown jewel of this celeb-filled building, this over 2500-square-foot penthouse Timberlake used to call home, has 10 ft floor-to-ceiling windows, wide-plank hardwoods, and custom fittings for art gallery displays.

An 853-square-foot wraparound living room was the perfect home for Timberlake's grand piano. The 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths make this a versatile living or entertaining space.

A beautiful penthouse like this wouldn't be complete without luxury amenities including 24-hour door and concierge services, a private-entrance on-site parking garage, a modern fitness center, and live-in super.

One of the nicest features is the common garden and courtyard located between the West Broadway and Wooster Street buildings. It's a patch of green serenity among the 175,000-square-feet of classic elegance and contemporary comfort of the Soho Mews.

The apartment is listed by Stribling.
