by


It appears Johnny Depp’s ranch-style home has finally been snapped up at nearly half its cash value.

The 41-acre estate, first listed for almost $3.4 million, is now shown as sold at a price of $1,350,000, despite the Lexington Herald-Leader reporting its worth at $2.33 million.

The Kentucky native initially purchased the farm in 1995 for $950,000, sold it in 2001 for $1 million and repurchased the property in 2005 for $2 million.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star, who was born in Owensboro, reportedly repurchased the property in 2005 for his beloved mother Sue Palmer, who occupied the residence before passing away in 2016.

Last year, Depp settled a blockbuster legal battle with his former business managers amid allegations about his spending and that he was the victim of gross misconduct.

The house, nicknamed Betty Sue’s Family Farm in honor of his late mom, was put on an auction in 2017, however Depp’s business manager refused to accept the top bid of just $1.4 million.

Despite struggling to sell for years, the property is quite spectacular, boasting a 6,000-square-foot house with seven bedrooms, a four-car garage, a guesthouse and three barns.

This comes after Depp got some more moral and legal support in his $50 million defamation lawsuit in Virginia against ex-wife Amber Heard.

Vanessa Paradis, the actor’s former longtime partner, came to the defense of the Pirates Of The Caribbean star in a legal declaration that was submitted to the court.

‘I have known Johnny Deep for more than 25 Years,’ Paradis wrote in the court documents obtained by The Blast.

‘We’ve been partners for 14 years and we raised out two children together. Through all these years, I’ve known Johnny to be kind, attentive, generous, and a non-violent person and father.’

The actress went on to acknowledge that she’s been aware of Heard’s accusations of physical and emotional abuse for more than four years.

‘This is nothing like the true Johnny I have known, and from my personal experience of many years, I can say he was never violent or abusive to me.’

She even went as far as to call Heard’s allegation untrue.

‘I have seen that these outrageous statements have been really distressing, and also caused damage to his career because, unfortunately, people have gone on believing these false facts,’ she explained.

Several other of Depp’s famous friends and ex-partners have publicly come to the defense of the actor, including Penelope Cruz and Winona Ryder, who herself submitted a legal declaration and stated, from her experience, that it was ‘impossible to believe that such horrific allegations are true.’

She added, ‘I find it extremely upsetting knowing him as I do.’

Depp, 56, filed the defamation lawsuit against Heard in March 2019 over an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in December 2018, in which she claimed she was abused by Deep.

As part of his lawsuit, Deep claimed that Heard had physically abused him during their marriage rather than the other way around, a claim Heard has denied. 

Deep and Paradis, a French singer and actress, were together from 1999 to 2012, and share daughter Lily-Rose, 20, and son John Christopher, 17.

Deep and Heard were married in February 2015. She filed for divorce in May of 2016, along with a temporary restraining order against him, stating in a court declaration that he had been verbally and physically abusive during their relationship.

The two sides reached a settlement and finalized the divorce in January 2017, which included the dismissal of the restraining order and Deep paying her $7 million that she subsequently donated to charity.
