Clove Hill, Estate of the Day
I got today's estate from Braden Keil's Gimme Shelter. Clove Hill is Eddie Murphy's country estate. The 205-acre farm in Dutchess Country, New York has a main house with a 11,500-square-foot five-bedroom, seven-bath main house with a media room, bar and gym. The farm also has a seven-acre lake, pool, tennis court with viewing stand, two-bedroom log cabin guest house, and a barn-styled building which is home to a movie theater and game arcade, There is also an eight-stall horse barn and a pool house. As mentioned earlier, it's listed at $9.9 million. it's nice enough but it doesn't seem very Eddie. After the jump, imagine Eddie Murphy sitting on a bar stool made of antlers.
UPDATE: As of October 2009, this home is listed at $5.95 million.

While perhaps to some saying your house was owned by Eddie Murphy means something extra, the buyer of this property is certainly paying a premium at almost $10M for it.
In Dutchess Co. there are plenty (ok, several) far more lovely estates in excellent condition with more sprawling or at least more inspired lands available for less. YOu can add this property onto the one Eddie is also trying to flip in Jersey for a mega price.
A buyer wishing to venture into nearby Columbia County could buy, for example, the former Rothschild family [that trumps any cache of 'Eddie owned' by a country mile] owned Deep Acres Farm for just $5.95M and almost 400 acres with a magnificent manor house.
