If Abrams can get an offer close to the asking price, it will have been a terrific investment — he and his wife snagged the property in 2014 for less than $14.5 million.

The 11,512 square-foot home has seven bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, and a three-bedroom guest lodge.
Cruise likely won’t have much time to spend at the ranch any time soon. The long-awaited sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” is slated to hit theaters in 2021, and he is reportedly in the process of shooting the seventh and eighth installments of his mega-successful Mission: Impossible franchise slated to hit theaters in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
