Sylvester Stallone has left California behind, selling his Beverly Park and Hidden Hills estates and this month, he finally let fans inside his new Florida mansion.
The Rocky icon and his wife Jennifer Flavin, married 28 years and still going strong, opened the doors to their jaw-dropping $35 million estate in a feature for Veranda magazine. But for the couple, it’s not just about marble floors or ocean views. It’s about comfort, soul, and space for the things they love, like their family… and their dogs.
“Monumental structures, but none of them embraced you,” Stallone reflected about other homes they toured. That changed the moment they stepped into their new Palm Beach property, built in 2014. “It finally felt like home.”
A home built on warmth, not just wealth
While the lakefront mansion dazzles with soaring ceilings and curated art, Stallone and Flavin focused their design choices on practicality, especially with pets, children, and lively family dinners in mind.
“We have three dogs and a cat and lots of children, nothing we own is precious,” Flavin shared. “Our family is precious, but the material things are not precious.”
Enter Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the celebrity designer the couple previously worked with in L.A. Known for weaving personality into every space, Bullard infused the home with soft textures, performance fabrics, and just the right kind of glam.
It’s luxury that lives, breathes, and laughs.
A living gallery, not a museum
Of course, no Stallone home would be complete without his vast art collection, but don’t expect dusty canvases locked behind glass. For Sly, art is alive.
“I consider it like a wardrobe,” he said. Paintings are moved, swapped, and restaged to “restimulate the mind.”
In a Veranda Instagram video, Bullard guided viewers through the art-filled hallway a long where tall windows flood the space with natural light. Deep crimson and black abstract panels pulse with energy on one side, while a trio of grid-like pieces command quiet attention on the other. At the far end, a striking portrait by George Condo anchors the view, alongside works by Rashid Johnson and even Picasso.
In the dining room, a Damien Hirst butterfly piece inspired the vivid cobalt 14-foot dining table. Above it, bright blue chain-link fixtures suspend globe pendant lights, adding another burst of color and energy to the space.
From Rocky robes to Palm Beach pools
For all its polish, the estate never strays far from Stallone’s roots. Memorabilia from Rocky and Rambo fills the screening room. A private bar shimmers beneath boxing-inspired artwork. And tucked into one corner? A treasure trove of keepsakes: the original Rocky script, championship belts, the oversized knife from Rambo, the iconic red robe, and a cluster of statuettes and awards.
Captured by photographer Douglas Friedman, the space feels less like a shrine and more like a legacy—honored, not entombed.
Closing the California chapter
The Florida reveal comes after Stallone sold his Hidden Hills estate in 2023 to music legend John Fogerty. Once listed at $22.5 million, the home eventually sold for $17.2 million, which was a price dip, but no regrets.
That California property featured a 10,500-square-foot compound with a main house, guesthouse, equestrian barn and riding arena, fruit orchard, cabana, and private theater. But for Stallone, the move was about more than real estate.
It was about reinvention.
Now, in his Palm Beach haven, Stallone has found the sweet spot between timeless glamour and everyday life. It’s a place where art moves, dogs roam, and a Hollywood icon finally feels at home.
