Fashion icon Kenneth Cole has listed his sprawling upstate New York home for $16 million-after letting George Clooney rent out the dwelling during his "Good Night, and Good Luck" Broadway run.
The designer, 72, snapped up the property for $2.8 million in 1991, and it served as his family home for decades.
He first listed the mansion, which is situated in Purchase, N.Y., last year for $22 million. At the time, he told Bloomberg, he was ready to part ways with his beloved seven-bedroom residence because his children had grown up, leaving him with no use for such a large property.
However, his property went off the market when Clooney, 64, rented it while showcasing his talent on the Broadway stage.
Now, one year later, Realtor.com can exclusively reveal that Cole is ready to bid farewell to the seven-bedroom, 6.5-bath property.
The residence sits on a gated 11.35-acre lot and boasts panoramic views of the surrounding gardens.
The three-story home is the epitome of luxury and is described in its listing, which is held by Susan Mcdonnell of Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty, as a "quiet country manor that's exceptionally private and secure, the estate is a stunning work of art, beautifully situated behind a gated entry at the end of a long, meandering driveway."
"The property boasts acres of lush rolling lawns adorned with over 35 years of seasonal perennials in year-round bloom, a glorious fenced saltwater pool and patio, multiple-hole practice golf green, zen-like meditation garden, and a one-acre freshwater pond with koi and carp," the listing adds.
Upon entering the property, guests are greeted with an exquisite foyer, which is highlighted by an elegant white staircase.

Several living areas offer guests the perfect place to lounge and come complete with multiple cozy fireplaces for the frigid New York winters.
The 11,792-square-foot home features a large dining room, which can hold a crowd of 80, and a playroom on the third floor.
"Every room offers blissful garden views due to the home's elevated position, from the grand full-length entrance hall to the dual living rooms, one of which opens to a postcard-perfect covered veranda. The refined formal dining room can seat a dinner party for 80," reads the listing.

The chef's kitchen comes complete with an enormous wood island with seating, white cabinetry, an elegant backsplash, and state-of-the-art appliances.
"The exceptional kitchen includes two La Cornue ranges, a hammered copper and wood island, a sunlit breakfast area, and an adjacent family room, both opening to the patio," reads the listing.
Moving into the primary suite, there are double walk-in closets and a chic fireplace.
The primary bathroom is certainly one of the crowning jewels of the home, as it features an elegant wood backdrop with a large soaking tub and his and her marble vanities.

The listing adds, "The primary suite exudes elegance with two luxurious ensuites, two walk-in closets, and two private balconies."
The home has an attached two-car garage, a garage for a golf cart, and a detached four-car garage with a carport.
An hour north of midtown Manhattan, the home is in Westchester County close to the border with Connecticut.

Cole began his eponymous fashion company in 1982. It went public in 1994 and reached a valuation of nearly $1 billion. In 2012, the designer took the company private "to embrace a more entrepreneurial perspective."
