Halle Berry’s $1.5 Million New Home

Halle Berry has bought a cottage in the woods to escape from the hustle and bustle of LA — and it only cost about $1.5 million! The rustic three-bedroom house is less than one hour north of Montreal, where her beau Gabriel Aubry’s family lives. According to an insider, the couple had been discussing purchasing a vacation home in Montreal. Gabriel, who had a modest upbringing, “always dreamed of owning a house in the area,” says the insider. “Gabriel and Halle both want baby Nahla to have the best childhood possible.” The gated estate, which is surrounded by 68 acres of forest, is in St. Hippolyte, Quebec, an area popular with wealthy Canadians. An insider says Halle, Gabriel, 32, and their 7-month-old daughter plan to head to their new home as soon as Halle finishes filming her next movie, Frankie and Alice, across the country in Vancouver. She doesn’t have a ring, but Halle, 42, feels closer to Gabriel than to her first two husbands. “I feel more married than I ever have,” says Halle. The 2,500-square-foot home has a mountain view and a dock on a spring-fed lake.
