John Travolta can’t sell his Maine mansion


Nearly two years trying, John Travolta is having a tough time selling his 20-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion in Maine.

The star first listed the home in February 2021 — seven months following the death of his wife Kelly Preston.

Located in Isleboro, Travolta has kept the initial $5 million price tag, despite a brief moment off the market.

Travolta, 68, designed the home with Preston back in 1991, when they were just newlyweds.

His late “Look Who’s Talking” co-star and fellow Scientologist Kirstie Alley was the one who first showed them the property at the time.

Spanning 10,830 square feet, the whimsical estate was transformed from the “spooky,” “dark” and “somber” historic house into the ultimate holiday space, a place to host their 55-member family, the couple told Architectural Digest in 1999. 

The “Grease” star called it the “60-day marathon” of redecorating — from the moment they purchased the home that September so that it would be ready in time to host their family for Christmas.

The hilly 50-acre estate on one of the highest points of the island sits on The Bluffs, where a dock provides boat access.

John Travolta's Maine mansion that he built with his late wife has been on the market for nearly two years. Kirstie Alley first showed them the home in 1991.
