Details about Jon Bon Jovi’s Properties & the House Where He Now Lives

Bon Jovi hailed from a working-class family, striving to become a global phenomenon, filling stadiums with his fans and selling records by the millions. But behind the scenes, he’s a humble man who loves his wife and children and cherishes his family more than anything else.

In an exclusive 2012 interview, the rock ‘n’ roll singer gave a glimpse into his magnificent home across the river in Red Bank, New Jersey, sharing his thoughts about being a musician, husband, and father.

Bon Jovi, who also dabbled in acting, was asked if he made his children watch his own movies. “Yeah, only when they’re bad or when they’re in trouble,” he responded. When asked about teaching his kids gratitude and appreciation for their blessings, he highlighted the importance of leading by example.

The “Always” singer explained that despite having a beautiful kitchen in their home, they spent most of their time at the community kitchen, also known as the Soul Kitchen, where people had the option to pay for their meals or volunteer if they couldn’t afford it, without any prices listed on the menus.

When the interviewer portrayed Bon Jovi as the opposite of a typical rockstar, with a clean record devoid of drug addiction, being married to the same woman without any scandals and ongoing success, he beamed joyfully, adding that he couldn’t pursue a political career.

The European-inspired mansion called the “High Point,” featured a grand foyer, a state-of-the-art movie theater, a sophisticated bar with river views, and a picturesque kitchen with hand-painted beams and alabaster countertops.

As the “Bed of Roses” singer sat inside his spectacular recording studio, he was asked how he celebrated with a beer after successfully composing a song. “We’ve got that problem solved: there are no drunk driving tickets in the perfect utopian world in which we live,” answered Bon Jovi.

He also had an area devoted to his family in his estate spanning 16 acres, boasting an exquisite waterfront and a mesmerizing view of the Atlantic Ocean. The “Story of My Life” singer showed a pass-through hallway to the family wing inside his house.

The hallway was decorated with several photos of Bon Jovi and Hurley with their kids and was not only a special place for the rockstar but also a befitting tribute to his family. It perfectly encapsulated Bon Jovi’s priorities in life besides being a world-class musician, highlighting his roles as a loving husband and devoted father.

During the interview, Bon Jovi was asked if it had been tough to be the kind of father he wanted to be, considering his prominent public persona. He responded by saying that it was both challenging and not.

He acknowledged missing his children’s birthdays and school plays over the years while pointing out the benefit of having extended periods off when he wasn’t on tour or recording new music.

Besides amassing love and praise from his fans worldwide, Bon Jovi has also managed to rake in millions of dollars through his successful music career. The band frontman knows how to live lavishly, and his unique style is reflected in the many properties he’s owned over the years.

One of his most outstanding estates was the palatial waterside chateau in New Jersey, which he reportedly put on sale for $20 million in 2020. The house—an epitome of luxury and elegance—was custom-built in 1999 for him and his wife, where the couple lived with their four children.

Situated on 15 acres of landscaped gardens with 700-ft of Navesink River frontage, the famous architect Robert A.M. Stern designed the French-inspired chateau.

The European-inspired mansion called the “High Point,” featured a grand foyer, a state-of-the-art movie theater, a sophisticated bar with river views, and a picturesque kitchen with hand-painted beams and alabaster countertops.

The property also boasted a beautiful pool area, outbuildings such as a carriage house and the charming “Shoe Inn” pub, and a loft-style recording studio in the converted stables. The exceptional estate offered a perfect blend of stunning architecture, scenic vistas, and luxurious amenities.

Bon Jovi, his wife, and their brood of four lived in their customized Middletown, N.J. home for many years, but in 2020, they reportedly moved to a $43 million mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. The home was built in 2007, designed by the renowned architect Thomas Kirchoff, with the interior designed by David Kleinberg.

The house features hardwood floors, a marble interior, and incredible cyclist ceilings. It boasts five powder rooms, a grand dining hall, and a dreamy ocean view.

The mansion also has a courtyard, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, and an air-conditioned three-car garage. It has seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a magnificent pool area, and a cabana.

Despite having a flair for extravagant mansions and expensive properties, Bon Jovi is a true home lover and takes great pride in being grounded. Even on his tours, the rock legend never forgets the place he’s always called home for all intents and purposes: New Jersey.

In one of his tweets from July 2022, the “Keep the Faith” singer posted a photo of himself wearing a black shirt on tour bearing the words, “New Jersey Vs Everybody.” The caption read, “What the shirt said.”

In another tweet from May 2023, he reposted another user’s tweet: “what comes to mind when you think of New Jersey? for me it’s Bon Jovi [sic].” The mega rockstar’s response was short and sweet: “Home.”

Owing to his attachment and fondness for N.J., which has long served as his safe haven, Bon Jovi didn’t think twice before turning to his Red Bank property when the pandemic struck and devastated N.Y.C. in 2020.

Alongside his wife and youngest son, Romeo, the “Blaze of Glory” singer left Manhattan and sought shelter in his family home, regrouping with their three older children. Bon Jovi reflected that his family spent more time in that house than they had in over ten years. The cozy mansion where the pair quarantined was the same place where they raised their older kids.
