Inside Ben Affleck’s House in Georgia- The Host to Bennifer’s Grand Wedding.

Touted as a vacation getaway for friends and family, the sprawling mansion became home to the grandest celebration of Tinseltown royal couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.

Life comes in a full circle– synonymous with Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s love story. The ‘It’ couple started dating in 2002 and rekindled their romance two decades later in 2021. The first Hollywood couple to receive an amalgam name “Bennifer.” They tied the knot and made it official in an intimate Las Vegas ceremony held at Clark County, NV Saturday, July 16, following the star-studded celebrations in Ben’s Affleck Georgia house on August 20, 2022. 

Back in 2003, the Good-Will Hunting actor bought this remarkable property when they started dating and planned to build a wedding chapel on the estate. However, they called off in 2004, and now it seems fitting that the couple chose the Hampton home as their wedding venue. Let’s take a tour of the impeccable estate in Georgia. 

Interior of Ben Affleck House Georgia

Nestled in the lush greens of Savannah, Georgia, the 87-acre riverfront property on Hampton Island comprises three houses connected by a series of oyster shell paths. From its exquisite views of the river and sweeping pastures to the picturesque buildings, every corner of Ben’s estate exudes warmth and personifies ‘Southern Charm”. The massive island is spread over about 4,500 acres and is home to a world-class equestrian centre, a private Golf Course, conglomerate cottages for members, a helipad, a farm area, and two small spas.

Big House

The primary residence, dubbed Big House, is a symbolic recreation of a Greek-Revival-style plantation house. Featuring fluted columns, intricate ceiling mouldings and pinewood flooring, the Ben Affleck house stands as an actual American-style Southern Mansion. Entering through the state-of-the-art living room, which is dressed in pristine white with an elevated ceiling, and elegant furnishings and fireplaces, the room entails classic beauty. 

Further, it includes a primary suite, three additional bedrooms, a massive library, kitchen and dining on the other end clad in reclaimed wood planks. 

Summer House

For summer barbecue hostings and nippy fall evenings is the ideal Summer House. The tinted roof cottage exudes rustic charm and neutral interiors. Its exposed ceilings, stone-tiled floor, brickwork fireplace, and vintage chandelier ooze a cosy ambience. The outdoor romantic riverfront dock has a permanently moored boat, a replica of Ernest Hemingway’s fishing boat, Pilar, that provides more space for the guests, surrounded by scenic beauty. 

Oyster House

Another enormous structure, known as Oyster Cottage, spans a wide 10,000 square foot and includes five regular, three en-suite, and bunk-style beds salvaged from old sailing ships. The barn-like building with wide porches and a small swimming pool endures a country charm.

Address and Cost of Ben Affleck’s House 

Located south of Savannah on Georgia’s Hampton Island, the Ben Affleck house spreads roughly 87 acres overlooking the North Newport River. The Oscar winner actor paid $7.11 million for the massive estate in 2003. It seems unlikely the Argo actor once tried to offload the home on the market in 2018 for $8.9m but later pulled off amid the 2020 pandemic. The magnificent estate marked the glorious moment of the Bennifer 2.0 celebrating their togetherness.

Enveloped by the surrounding greens, the house has numerous bedrooms, a dining area adorned with a statement chandelier, a gourmet kitchen, an entertainment room, a gym and a climate-control wine cellar.
