Justin Timberlake’s Houses Through the Years, From Manhattan to Rural Montana

He’s lived his life in the public eye since his teen years. It isn’t surprising, then, that Justin Timberlake’s houses have all had one thing in common—a sense of privacy. After getting his start on the Mickey Mouse Club, the *NSYNC frontman became a household name in the 1990s and went on to have a successful solo career. The 10-time Grammy Award–winning singer is currently on the road again for the Forget Tomorrow World Tour, but when he’s not on stage, the actor is lying low at home with his wife Jessica Biel, and their two sons. In 2024, Biel opened up about the couple’s decision to step away from the spotlight and make their secluded Montana abode their primary residence.
From penthouses in New York City to property in the rolling hills in Tennessee, here’s a glimpse at the places the “SexyBack” singer called home before settling on Big Sky, Montana.
Hollywood Hills mansion
The year 2002 was a significant one for Timberlake. On top of *NSYNC splitting after seven years, Timberlake debuted his first solo studio album, Justified, and purchased his first home in Los Angeles. The “Like I Love You” singer bought a 13,000-square-foot dwelling in the Hollywood Hills. The Spanish villa was built in 2000 by Helen Hunt but dates back to the 1930s, when Errol Flynn, an actor who captivated audiences in the 1930s during the Golden Age of Hollywood, had a compound on the same land.
The 10-acre property, located right off Mulholland Drive, offers sweeping views of the San Fernando Valley and has everything a young musician might need: 7 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, a screening room, a tennis court, vegetable gardens, and an 85-foot-long infinity pool. Timberlake married Biel in 2012, and the couple completely remodeled the villa with the help of Estee Stanley—an interior designer favored among many celebrities. The couple and the designer agreed upon a blend of rustic and modern styles, giving the Spanish Villa a fresh, yet welcoming feel. After 20 years of ownership, the “Mirrors” singer listed the estate for $35 million. The listing was taken down in 2022, so it is unclear whether or not the couple still owns the property.
The SoHo starter home
In 2010, Timberlake purchased a spacious penthouse apartment in New York City for $6.57 million. The three-bedroom property was located on the top floor of SoHo Mews, a luxury condominium in one of Manhattan’s most sought-after neighborhoods. With floor-to-ceiling windows and an 853-square-foot wraparound terrace, the light-filled space offered unmatched views of both the uptown and the downtown Manhattan skylines. The property offered safety and security with a concierge, a parking garage with private entrance, and a fitness center.
The interiors of the SoHo penthouse were sleek and modern, making it the ideal retreat away from Hollywood. The airy space featured 10-foot ceilings, custom wood paneling, a professional grade kitchen, and a bathroom complete with a Kaldewei VAIO DUO oval freestanding tub. After Timberlake and Biel welcomed their first son, Silas, in 2015, they seemingly outgrew the apartment. They listed the 2,598-square-foot property in 2018 for just under $8 million and then proceeded to drop the price four times over seven months. They took a loss after the unit finally sold for $6.35 million.
Bucolic acreage in Tennessee
Timberlake purchased a sprawling 127-acre property in Lepiers Fork, Tennessee, a small village about 22 miles south of Nashville, in 2015. Among the grounds were rolling pastures, three different ridges overlooking the surrounding valley, horse riding trails, a fishing pond, and a babbling creek complete with a covered bridge. To say the property was picturesque would be an understatement.
In 2021, the “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” singer partnered with restaurateur Sam Fox to open a honky-tonk-inspired bar and restaurant in downtown Nashville called the Twelve Thirty Club. However, Timberlake’s off-the-grid property went undeveloped for almost a decade and, in 2023, the multihyphenate listed the property for $10 million—a stark comparison to the $4 million he paid nine years prior. The land officially sold in 2024 for under asking at $8 million.
Tribeca Penthouse
In 2017, Timberlake and Biel purchased a four-bedroom penthouse in a star-studded, paparazzi-proof building in Tribeca, a neighborhood in New York teeming with other singers and actors. Celebrities like Harry Styles and Bella Hadid have also called the property home–and it’s no wonder. The building boasted a slew of amenities like a massage room, an infrared sauna, a swimming pool, private elevators, a valet, and top-notch security and concierge services. In addition to convenience, the building is also acclaimed for its attention to detail. From what we know about the couple’s 5,375-square-foot penthouse, the spacious interiors featured original industrial pine beams from circa 1882, a custom kitchen designed by Christopher Peacock, and a private terrace. The couple paid $20.2 million for the property in 2017, then sold it in 2022 for $29 million.
The Yellowstone Club
In 2015, the “Selfish” singer and the 7th Heaven alum and not only welcomed their first child, but they also balanced out their bicoastal real estate portfolio by purchasing a home in rural Montana. But they didn’t just buy any old property. The couple found their home in the Yellowstone Club, a prestigious and secluded community nestled in the mountains of Big Sky. According to the property’s official website, the club offers “a wide range of family-friendly mountain homes, from spacious modern ranches to custom residences offering distinct architectural designs.” The club also boasts 2,900 acres of world-class ski trails. Additionally, residents can use a variety of amenities, from a state-of-the-art wellness center to an 18-hole golf course.
Justin Timberlake Hosts EVERYTHING I THOUGHT IT WAS Album Release Party
Since selling their home in New York and listing their dwelling in Los Angeles, Timberlake and Biel’s Big Sky abode has become their family’s primary residence. After 30 years in the spotlight, the couple was seeking out a more private life where they could raise their family away from paparazzi. “You get hammered on the East Coast, you kinda get hammered on the West Coast,” Biel said on Kelly Ripa’s podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera in 2024. “That’s why we don’t really live there anymore.”
