The main home on the compound is a 1950-built Craftsman-style abode spanning 4,253 square feet, with rock walls and beamed ceilings. It has four bedrooms, five and a half baths, and three living rooms. A courtyard at the heart of the structure is equipped with a fireplace. Also found on the property: a guesthouse, a pool house, a staff dwelling, two swimming pools, a persimmon orchard, and a rose garden.
The Houseboat star and her husband sold the Hidden Valley dwelling in 2006 for $6.9 million.
Williams Island, Aventura, Florida
In 1987, Loren gave Architectural Digest a peek inside her new South Florida dwelling. The apartment was located on Williams Island, for which the Marriage Italian Style star also served as a spokesperson and consultant. The spot was ideal for Loren, Ponti, and their two sons for its seclusion. “What I appreciate most when I’m not working is the chance to lead as normal a family life as possible,” the film icon told AD. “There’s as much sailing, swimming and sunbathing as you could want, and it gives everyone a chance to relax.”
To establish a sense of home, Loren decorated the vacation home with furniture and decor from Europe, including the same four-poster bed that she was photographed on during the 1964 photoshoot at her Italian villa.
Geneva, Switzerland
Loren has called Geneva, Switzerland home for over 50 years. In 1987, the film star told AD, “I move around so much I don’t really know where ‘home’ is. The nearest thing to it, I suppose, is our place in Geneva, because my sons, Carlo and Edoardo, were both born there and still go to school just nearby.”
The Life Ahead actor made a point of keeping her family life private, so details about her Swiss real estate are scarce. “We needed to be in a place where we could feel safer and live more peacefully,” she wrote of the move in her 2014 memoir, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.
