Action icon Sylvester Stallone has made headlines with his recent purchase of a stunning Hamptons mansion, sealing the deal for an impressive $24.95 million — and he did it all in cash. The 78-year-old “Rocky” star and his family now have a luxurious retreat in East Hampton, marking a new chapter in Stallone’s real estate portfolio.

This move wasn’t your typical property hunt. In a bold and somewhat unconventional move, Stallone signed the purchase contract and put down a hefty deposit before ever seeing the property in person. His first look at the mansion was via a FaceTime tour. It wasn’t until weeks before the closing that he flew from Palm Beach to the Hamptons to tour the house in person. “He had just done a FaceTime tour until recently,” a source revealed. But once he saw it for himself, it was clear that the home was everything he had envisioned — and perhaps more.

A Mansion Fit for a Family Legacy

Unlike many celebrity purchases, this acquisition is a family affair. Stallone’s three daughters — Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet — played a significant role in the decision to purchase the property. Two of his daughters are now living on the East Coast, a journey that has been chronicled in the second season of The Family Stallone on Paramount+. The East Hampton estate serves as both a retreat for Stallone and his wife, former model Jennifer Flavin, and a new home base for their daughters.

For Stallone and Flavin, who currently reside in a $35 million Palm Beach mansion, the Hamptons property represents a chance to create family memories while embracing the upscale Hamptons lifestyle. Though they are officially “empty nesters,” this home allows them to stay connected with their daughters on the East Coast.

An Architectural Masterpiece in East Hampton

Located in the prestigious neighborhood of East Hampton, this new-construction mansion was developed by renowned interior designer James Michael Howard. The home was designed as a turn-key, fully furnished residence, complete with high-end custom furnishings, valuable antiques, original artwork, and opulent finishes.

The property, covering 1.12 acres, is a testament to luxury living. The mansion boasts 11,644 square feet of living space, featuring eight bedrooms and an array of high-end amenities that offer both elegance and comfort. Its location, just one mile from the Atlantic Ocean, grants access to the area’s sought-after beaches. Notably, Stallone’s purchase of this property set a new record for the neighborhood’s non-oceanfront real estate market.

Inside the Home: Luxury, Art, and Comfort in Every Corner

Stepping into the home, guests are welcomed by a dramatic double-height foyer, creating an immediate sense of grandeur. The open-concept layout leads to a great room with soaring ceilings and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light. The great room flows into an eat-in chef’s kitchen, perfect for family gatherings, casual meals, or entertaining guests.

The kitchen, designed with both style and function in mind, is fully equipped with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and marble countertops. Its layout offers ample space for cooking, socializing, and dining.

The home also includes a formal dining room, dazzling in jewel-toned decor, offering a more elegant space for intimate dinners and special occasions. Meanwhile, the family room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, provides a cozy retreat during cooler seasons. For added warmth and comfort, radiant heated floors run throughout key areas of the home.

No luxury home would be complete without an in-house theater. Stallone’s Hamptons mansion includes a screening room where he and his family can relax and watch movies, perhaps even the Rocky or Rambo series that made him a household name. This state-of-the-art media room offers a cinematic experience right from the comfort of home.

The main bedroom suite is a sanctuary of tranquility and privacy. Expansive and lavishly decorated, the suite features a spa-like bathroom and ample closet space, providing a personal retreat within this already expansive home. Each of the mansion’s eight bedrooms is thoughtfully designed, offering a blend of comfort and luxury for family and guests.

A Private Oasis: Outdoor Living at Its Finest

The grounds of this East Hampton property are as spectacular as the home itself. Encompassing 1.12 acres, the estate offers privacy, beauty, and entertainment all in one place. The centerpiece of the outdoor space is the large pool, a serene haven for summer relaxation. Complete with a pool house, the area is perfectly suited for poolside lounging, parties, and family gatherings.

Stone pathways lead through the lush, well-manicured gardens, while tall hedges and natural landscaping provide a sense of seclusion. The expansive outdoor lounge areas, coupled with the breathtaking Hamptons sunsets, make this property a paradise for relaxation and outdoor living.

A Bold Move for a Hollywood Legend

While Sylvester Stallone is no stranger to luxury real estate, this purchase marks a notable shift. Stallone and his wife have typically based themselves in warmer locales like Florida or California. But with his daughters now building their lives on the East Coast, the move to purchase a home in the Hamptons seems like a family-driven decision.

What’s particularly striking is that Stallone purchased the home without seeing it in person, relying on a FaceTime tour to make his decision. It wasn’t until weeks before the deal closed that he flew to New York to see the home for himself. This bold move is characteristic of the action star’s decisiveness and confidence.

Unlike the characters he plays on screen, however, Stallone’s purchase is less about action and more about legacy. His daughters — Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet — are the clear beneficiaries of this purchase. It’s a space where family bonds can strengthen, and memories can be created.

Record-Breaking Purchase for the Hamptons Market

Stallone’s $24.95 million all-cash purchase is not just notable for its star power — it’s also a record-setting deal for the East Hampton neighborhood. While waterfront homes in the Hamptons have always commanded sky-high prices, Stallone’s purchase of a non-oceanfront property at nearly $25 million sets a new benchmark for real estate in the area.

This transaction is a reminder that location, luxury, and privacy remain top priorities in the Hamptons real estate market. The presence of one of Hollywood’s biggest names only raises the property’s prestige.

A Home for the Stallone Legacy

For Sylvester Stallone, this East Hampton mansion represents more than just another addition to his real estate portfolio. It’s a place where family comes together. With his daughters making their lives on the East Coast, this property will likely become a central hub for the Stallone family.

As an action star known for his grit and perseverance, Stallone’s purchase of this mansion is a reflection of his enduring success. From Rocky to The Expendables, Stallone has always played characters who value family, legacy, and loyalty — values clearly reflected in his choice to buy a home for his daughters.

This Hamptons haven, with its lavish interiors, outdoor amenities, and East Coast charm, is sure to become a gathering place where the Stallone family can relax, reconnect, and recharge.
