ARLINGTON, Vt. (AP) – Alec Baldwin and his family have purchased a Vermont retreat — a farm and about 50 acres.
The historic farmhouse, built before 1800, and guest house rest on “50-something acres” and the property is “simply beautiful,” Faith Rhodes, principal real estate agent and owner of Rhodes Real Estate, told the Bennington Banner.
Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, attracted media attention last fall when they visited a gun the actor was holding, killing cameraman Halyna Hutchins on a movie set in New Mexico. Baldwin claims it was a tragic accident. Also injured was the director of the film.
Baldwin was sued this week by Hutchins’ family who claimed they “heartlessly” ignored security complaints on the set of the movie “Rest”. Baldwin’s lawyer said any claim that the actor was reckless is “completely false.”
The Baldwins have ties to Vermont. Hilaria Baldwin’s grandfather, David Lloyd Thomas Sr., owned a house in Arlington, the newspaper reported. He died on March 2, 2020, at the age of 92.
Baldwin representatives did not immediately email back on Saturday seeking comment.
