"Goodbye Girl" star Marsha Mason is trying to sell her New Mexico home, including an organic herb farm, for $11.5 million, according to the Associated Press.
The 250-acre property -- in Abiquiu, about 50 miles north of Santa Fe -- is called the Double M Ranch and includes a 5,800-square-foot house and roughly 140 acres of farmland. The Rio Chama runs through the property, which also has a 5,700-square-foot "art barn" with two studios and two apartments, a separate three-bedroom guesthouse and a greenhouse.
Ms. Mason says she bought the raw grazing land for $1.5 million in 1992, after her divorce from writer Neil Simon, and spent about $10 million building the structures and developing the farm, which has an annual yield of 2.5 tons of herbs. She uses the botanicals in her line of mouth sprays, meant to boost the immune system, and other natural products.
The home is being marketed as not only a private residence but also a potential spa retreat or inn. Ms. Mason, 65, lives on the property full-time but plans to move to Connecticut or New York because of theater projects in New York City.
Between 1973 and 1981, Ms. Mason received four best-actress Oscar nominations, including one for "The Goodbye Girl" and for "Chapter Two."
