Eva Longoria has once again cut the asking price of her Hollywood Hills West compound. The award-winning actor, producer, and activist first listed the gated estate in 2017 for $14,000,000, after acquiring it two years prior from fellow film star and Golden Globe–winner Tom Cruise. A year later, she slashed the price to $11,000,000—which is $400,000 less than what she originally paid. Eager to sell, Longoria recently reduced the price even further and is now seeking $9,495,000.

Eva Longoria—known for her roles in Desperate Housewives and The Young and the Restless—purchased the multiproperty estate from Tom Cruise in 2015 for $11,400,000. Just two years after acquiring the home, she listed it for sale—and she has been seeking a buyer ever since.

Set on a 2.75-acre lot just above the Hollywood Hills, the Tuscany–inspired compound was built in 2004 and offers a total of four structures: a three-bedroom villa, a four-bedroom guesthouse, and two studios. Plans for a full renovation of the dwellings by architect Mark Rios were recently approved and are included in the sale.

Offering two detached residences and two additional studio spaces, the compound spans nearly three acres. Walking paths crisscross the property—including this bridge that overlooks the resort-like swimming pool.
