John Travolta is selling the $5 million Maine mansion he shared with late wife Kelly Preston 8 months after her death

• John Travolta is selling his $5 million Maine home, People reports.
• The actor bought it with his late wife, Kelly Preston, shortly after their 1991 wedding.
• Travolta also owns multimillion-dollar homes in Florida and California.

Eight months after Kelly Preston's death, her husband John Travolta is selling the multimillion-dollar Maine home the couple bought shortly after their 1991 wedding, People reports.

The 10,000-square-foot oceanfront property is on the market for $5 million. It is located in Islesboro, an island off the coast of Maine, and about 50 miles south of the city of Bangor.

Photos of the property on the listing website show massive lawns and forests surrounding the home, which has 20 bedrooms (including a master suite with its own private porch) and 7.5 bathrooms. Three of the home's bedrooms were built specifically for children with themes like "princess" and "airplane," according to the listing.

The home also has an office, library, laundry room, pool, schoolhouse, bar, walk-in pantry, and more elaborate features like a fully-equipped stage for children. The rooms are painted with bright shades, like yellow and green, and many of them have floral wallpaper.

The listing adds that the house "has been beautifully maintained and totally redecorated by the current owner."

Brian Wickenden, an agent with luxury real-estate agency Sotheby's, has the listing.

Preston and Travolta spent two months redecorating the house themselves

Preston and Travolta told Architectural Digest's Nancy Collins in 1999 that they were inspired to buy the home after a trip to visit the sprawling "Kennedy-compound-style" Islesboro home of their friend and Travolta's "Look Who's Talking" costar, Kirstie Alley. Alley sold her own 21-bedroom Islesboro property in April 2020.

According to the same Architectural Digest feature, the home was originally built in 1903 for a wealthy banking family and was designed by the prominent Boston-based architecture firm Peabody and Stearns.

While the house was what Travolta and Preston were looking for in terms of scale, the couple did extensive redecorating. "John and I came in and redid everything - carpets, furniture - in cream and eggshell. If you need to do it quickly, go white," Preston told Collins.

The makeover took a "sixty-day marathon," according to Travolta. The couple didn't have to start entirely from scratch, however, as he noted that the home came with English antiques that they refurbished and used.

Down the line, they also worked with interior designer Christopher Boshears, Collins wrote, to turn the property into their family home.

Travolta reportedly owns several other multimillion-dollar homes across the country

Travolta has been very active in the real-estate market in recent years, with a number of reported high-profile sales and purchases in Florida and California.

In September 2019, the actor bought a $2.65 million Mediterranean villa in Calabasas, California. Variety reported at the time of the purchase that the 7,500-square-foot home has six bedrooms, six bathrooms, an eight-car garage, a formal living room, library, gym, and spa.

A few months after that purchase, the Los Angeles Times reported that Travolta had sold his Brentwood home for $18 million to a trust tied to Scooter Braun. Braun, an investor and talent executive, is best known for managing pop megastars Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande.

Outside of California, the Tampa Bay Times reported in 2017 that the actor may have purchased a home in Clearwater, Florida, only about a mile away from the Scientology headquarters in that city, citing a $3 million sale tied to a trust linked to Ellen Bannon, who is Travolta's sister. Travolta has been a practicing Scientologist since at least the 1970s.

According to the Miami Herald, Preston died at the couple's Clearwater home. The actress, best known for her roles in "Jerry Maguire" and "What a Girl Wants," died in July after a two-year-long battle with breast cancer.

Architectural Digest also profiled a different Florida home belonging to Travolta and Preston in 2004, located farther north in Ocala. The six-bedroom home came with a highly unusual feature - an airplane runway, which was undoubtedly a major selling point for Travolta, a licensed pilot. Jumbolair, the gated community in which it's located, went on the market for $10.5 million in 2019.
