Johnny Depp Horse Farm Hits Auction Block
In Lexington, Ky., the property of the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor was occupied by his mother, who died last year.

Nine months after going on the market, a Kentucky horse farm owned by actor Johnny Depp is headed to the auction block.
The property listed in December for $2.9 million, said listing agent Gary Denton of Rector Hayden Realtors.
This isn’t Mr. Depp’s first time at the rodeo, so to speak: According to public records, he first bought the property in 1995 for $950,000, then sold it in 2001 for $1 million. He bought it again in 2005 for $2 million. The property was occupied by Mr. Depp’s mother, Mr. Denton said, adding that he doesn’t know why Mr. Depp bought, sold and bought the property again.
About 8 miles from downtown Lexington, the roughly 41-acre horse farm includes a 6,000-square-foot house with seven bedrooms, a four-car garage, a one-bedroom detached guesthouse, three barns, a pool and automatically watered paddocks, said Mr. Denton.
The auction will take place on Sept. 15 on the grounds of the property as well as online. The reserve price isn’t published, but the auction is subject to seller confirmation, meaning that if the price doesn’t satisfy the seller, he can turn it down.
An auction should not be interpreted as a sign of distress; in Kentucky, auctions are a routine way of marketing property, said John Scott Durbin, an agent at Bluegrass Sotheby’s International Realty, which isn’t associated with the listing. He also said the local market is currently strong, but that farm sales are typically slow moving and often need an auction to draw attention. It is typical to list a property well in advance of an auction to “set expectations” around the list price, he said.
Mr. Depp, star of movies like “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” filed a lawsuit against his former business managers in January alleging mismanagement of his fortune; the actor earned more than $650 million over the course of his career. The Management Group filed a countersuit later that month, alleging that Mr. Depp overspent on luxuries including numerous properties around the world, causing his own financial distress. Both suits are pending.
