Hugh Jackman puts his dream minimalist home up for rent in the Hamptons
Aussie movie star Hugh Jackman and wife Deborra-lee Furness have put the hideaway that they described as their “bucket list” home up for rent.
Aussie movie star Hugh Jackman has put his Hamptons summer bolthole up for rent.
The Wolverine star and his wife, Deborra-lee Furness, purchased an East Hampton estate for $3.5m in 2015, according to The Post. It’s now popped up on the rental market, asking a whopping $500k per month on Realtor.com.
Following the purchase, the couple proceeded to undergo a six-year transformation building what they once referred to as a property they had longed for.

“This was my lifelong dream,” Furness told Architectural Digest in a 2021 interview.
“It’s like, bucket list, tick it off. I’ve done it, and I loved it.”
Furness, 67, and Jackman, 54, had reportedly spent years trying to find the perfect space to build their ideal house.
“My kids were like, ‘Mum, make a decision already.’ We went to see it, and I said, ‘Let’s do it,’” Furness said.
Made up of five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, the modern waterfront main house spans more than 460 sqm.
The compound has its own gym, a theatre, pool, hot tub — and comprises two separate structures, according to the listing.
Situated on a broad cliff top, the property also boasts views overlooking the water.
This rental listing comes at an active time in the couple’s property portfolio.
In August, Jackman spent $22.1m (AU$30m) for a glamorous New York City penthouse — a couple months after listing his nearby triplex for $38.9m (AU$56m), which is still on the market.
Architect Stelle Lomont Rouhani collaborated with Jackman and Furness to create “the utmost Zen tranquillity” overlooking Gardiner’s Bay at the Hamptons estate.

The primary house features a gourmet kitchen with Gaggenau appliances and an informal dining room with a hand-carved walnut dining table.
With floor-to-ceiling glass doors, the main home also has three bedrooms all with ensuites.
Situated on 2.5 acres, the renovated guesthouse has two bedrooms, and features an open living space with a kitchen bar and a loft bed.
A pivotal artwork in the home includes a kaleidoscopic James Turrell piece, who most celebrities have a fondness for.
Listing photos even show the couples two dogs, a French bulldog named Dali and a poodle-terrier mix named Allegra.
“With the way I’ve set up the living room lounges, you’ve got your sit-by-the-fire moment, you’ve got your look-out-to-the-sea, pondering-your-own-navel moment. And Hugh and I are complete backgammonophiles, so the backgammon set lives there.”
“Deb is extraordinary. I was at almost every meeting over five years,” Jackman added to the publication.

“I felt I would know what it would feel like to walk in for the first time. I was wrong.
“The home so far exceeded my expectations. I didn’t realise what Deb created was not only beautiful but warm. Even now, when I walk in the door, it gives me a feeling of calm.”
Susan Breitenbach with the Corcoran Group holds the listing.
