Actress Ana de Armas has officially offloaded her New York City apartment for $3.5 million—after opting to quit the Big Apple and the bustle of Hollywood in order to relocate to a $7 million, off-grid estate in Vermont.
De Armas, 37, managed to secure the full asking price for the picturesque pad, which is located in the trendy SoHo neighborhood of New York—and which she purchased back in 2021 for $2.9 million, according to records.
However, not long after buying the abode, de Armas listed it for the first time, initially putting it on the market in August 2023 for $4.3 million, before lowering that ask to $3.99 million in March of the following year.
The home was temporarily removed from the market in June 2024, before returning in February with a new price—$3.5 million—for which the property has now sold, as first reported by Architectural Digest.
De Armas’ latest real estate sale comes just a few years after she made the decision to move out to Vermont in a bid to live a quieter life, revealing in September 2024 interview with E! News that she wanted to escape “the craziness of the world.”

“I feel like nowadays, we all want to go away from the craziness of the world,” she said at the time. “We all want to have the chance to build your own safe space. I’ve made that decision myself.”
Although the “Ballerina” star has kept details about her Vermont dwelling closely guarded, she did share a few anecdotes about the home, describing it as a “cocoon.”
“I found a home where I really feel off the grid,” she explained. “I can collect myself and only bring there who I want to be with. I have my little cocoon there.”
De Armas’ off-grid getaway was purchased by the star for $7.2 million in November 2022, as first reported by Page Six, which noted that the dwelling boasts six bedrooms and eight bathrooms as well as stunning mountain views, a swimming pool, and access to plenty of walking trails.
Records seen by Realtor.com® indicate that the actress managed to snag a bit of a deal on the dwelling, which was originally listed for $7.5 million—with the description noting that the property was being offered fully furnished.
Built in 2008, the luxury two-story home offers over 8,000 square feet of living space and details like multiple fireplaces; a modern kitchen with a dishwasher, double oven, and wine fridge; and a primary suite with a luxe bath, walk-in closet, and sauna.
An Instagram post from the actress shows her enjoying the rustic splendor of her new home. She posted images of glorious trees with golden foliage, a fire pit, woodsy vistas, and even an adorable four-legged friend.

The property could not be more different from de Armas’ SoHo spread, which was officially sold on June 26 and offered just two bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
In its listing, the loft space was described as an “extraordinary residence … where timeless architecture meets modern sophistication,” having been given a modern makeover by famed interior designer Nate Berkus.
“At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece of design,” the description added. “Sleek white lacquer cabinetry with brass accents, honed marble countertops, and a striking green Moroccan tile backsplash create a striking visual contrast.
“State-of-the-art Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Bosch appliances ensure a seamless cooking experience, while a generous eat-in island flows into a custom leather banquette that elegantly wraps the corner, offering an inviting dining space for up to 10 guests. Thoughtfully placed steel-and-glass partitions provide definition while preserving the home’s open, airy flow.”
Meanwhile, the primary suite was hailed as a “tranquil retreat” complete with a spa-inspired bathroom that featured a steam shower and a soaking tub.
Though the dwelling was located in an apartment building in one of New York’s busiest neighborhoods, it is filled with natural light throughout the day, thanks to its soaring ceilings and enormous windows.
Before snapping up the home, de Armas was understood to have been primarily based in Los Angeles, where she resided in a Venice Beach dwelling for several years—before reportedly moving in with actor Ben Affleck, with whom she was in a relationship for about a year between 2020 and 2021.
After they split, she relocated to New York, in an apparent bid to escape the endless paparazzi attention she and Affleck had been receiving in California.
