Ackles has reportedly purchased a 100-year-old mansion in Southport, Connecticut at Riegel Point, otherwise dubbed the Gold Coast. The 1930s mansion is as magnificent as it is timeless, but it is one of many locations around the state rumored to be haunted.

The regal mansion was built in the 1930s, a time when the Colonial Revival style was enjoying a resurgence in popularity. It truly is a relic, elegantly retaining its old-world charm amidst modern luxury.
This iconic house once stood as one of the superior properties on Sasco Hill, proudly overlooking Southport Harbor & Village. Its noble experience watched eras pass by and it continues to stand, offering Ackles and his wife Danneel a chance to script their own chapter in its rich tapestry of stories.
The mansion shines in its splendid Colonial Revival style architecture. It's a vision straight from a vintage postcard - think white woodwork, gabled roofs and traditional charm that never goes out of style.
Stepping inside, the main house consists of five glorious bedrooms and four bathrooms which are spacious yet cozy. The elegant mix of classic and contemporary design elements make every room a grand sight.
Ackles can invite quite a few of his closest friends over, as the property spans more than two acres. In the rapidly developing state of Connecticut, this much open space is considered a rare find.
The gourmet kitchen comes complete with top-of-the-line appliances. And yes, there's an island, perfect for serving breakfast or turning into cocktail central during parties!
Right next to the main house sits a three-car garage for Jensen’s prized cars. But that's not all – atop this garage lies an adorable one-bedroom guest house!
Wander further around the estate and you'll find private access to Southport Beach. Weekend beach strolls have just moved up on Ackles' weekend agenda!
Glorious sunset drinks are set to become part of Ackles' routine with views overlooking Long Island Sound from nearly every room!
Rounding up this slice of paradise is a paneled library and wood-burning fireplaces that add exactly right amount of warmth and sophistication. Living in this estate seems more like year-round vacationing indeed!
Riegel Point, where the mansion is located, has a rich history being part of Southport - known for its picturesque views and homes that hold histories. Living here, Ackles is not just buying real estate; he's inheriting a slice of Connecticut's illustrious heritage.
