Calvin Harris, the renowned DJ, seems ready to embrace a quieter life away from the glitz and glamour of his jet-setting career.
After years of building his empire, he is now putting the finishing touches on his dream home: a stunning country manor house tucked away in the idyllic Cotswolds.
A Luxurious, Custom-Built Cotswold Retreat
The 41-year-old superstar DJ, known for his chart-topping hits and collaborations with music icons, has been working closely with one of the Royal Family’s preferred architects to create a home that blends both luxury and tradition.
Situated on 10 acres of land, the mansion boasts its own vineyard, swimming pool, and tennis court—features befitting a millionaire who has worked with some of the biggest names in music.
Harris, along with his wife, TV presenter Vick Hope, plans to move into the mansion by the summer.
The construction is currently ongoing, with an army of builders working to complete the sprawling three-story property.
One worker revealed that the house will be completed with no expenses spared, and the couple will enjoy a private setting, far from prying eyes, with only a friendly pub down the road.
Community Reactions to Harris’ New Home
While some locals are excited about the new addition to their village, others have mixed feelings.
Silke Bruening, a volunteer at the local shop, mentioned that if Harris shops in the village, he will be treated as a regular resident rather than a celebrity.
Still, retired local resident Ken Mercer expressed concerns about the influx of celebrities who can afford large estates, potentially making it harder for local people to find homes.
Planning the Perfect Home in the Cotswolds
Harris purchased the property for £3.6 million back in 2019, tearing down an old post-war house to make way for a more traditional Cotswold-style building.
Designed by architect Ben Pentreath, known for his royal connections, the new home is being built with Cotswold limestone to ensure it blends in with the natural beauty of the region.
It’s also being constructed in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, requiring careful scrutiny and approval from local authorities.
The Home’s Impressive Features
The home will feature large rooms including a spacious kitchen, dining area, and TV snug on the ground floor, while the first floor will have three large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.
The second floor will include two more bedrooms, also with en-suites.
In addition, the estate will include separate staff quarters, a gym, greenhouses, and various outbuildings, such as a garage block.
The couple’s plans also include creating a pond, a timber-clad hideout for wildlife studies, and even a hot yoga studio at the bottom of the garden.
Once completed, the property will be a beautiful blend of natural beauty and luxury.
A Life of Quiet Seclusion
While Harris and Hope may be moving away from the limelight, the couple is expected to engage in some farming on their new estate, which will feature woodland gardens and vegetable beds.
The peaceful surroundings and tranquil environment of the Cotswolds seem to be the perfect place for Harris, who has already taken steps to retreat from his busy lifestyle in recent years.
The Cotswolds has long been a destination for A-list celebrities, with famous residents such as David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, and Liam Gallagher all owning property in the area.
It’s clear that Harris and Hope are following in the footsteps of other high-profile stars seeking a quiet life in this picturesque region.
A New Beginning in the Countryside
For Vick Hope, the move to the Cotswolds is a dream come true.
She has always expressed her love for the outdoors and the countryside, having grown up in the Northumberland countryside.
She has said that spending time in nature is essential for maintaining mental wellbeing, and now she’ll have the perfect place to enjoy her passion for nature and the outdoors with her husband.
As the couple prepares to settle into their new home, it’s clear that Harris is ready for a new chapter in his life, one filled with the peaceful rhythm of rural living—away from the hustle and bustle of the music industry.
