Robert Redford died Tuesday morning at the age of 89 at his home in Sundance, Utah, and leaves behind a property portfolio across the western United States that property records value at more than $20 million.
Redford’s publicist, Cindi Berger, said the actor and filmmaker died “at his home at Sundance in the mountains of Utah — the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved.” The inventory of homes and ranchland reflects the locations and landscapes that shaped many of his films and his life; Redford and his wife, Sibylle Szaggars, began selling several of the properties over the past seven years.
Among the properties tied to Redford is a modest 1,500‑square‑foot cabin in Sundance, the ski and resort community he helped establish in 1969 and named after his outlaw character in the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The one‑acre cabin, which sits above the road and previously featured a garden with yellow daisies, was sold in 2020. Zillow estimates have placed a current value for a similar property in the area at about $2.3 million.
Szaggars, an artist, purchased a separate three‑story home in Sundance in the late 1980s; she and Redford met there in the 1990s and married in 2009. The home, surrounded by pines with views of 12,000‑foot Mount Timpanogos, served as an inspiration for Szaggars’s multimedia environmental artwork. The property, which offered multiple decks, a lower‑level guest suite and four bedrooms, was listed for just under $4 million in July 2024 and was taken off the market the same month.
Redford also sold a 30‑acre ranch north of Sundance that he named after his 1998 film The Horse Whisperer. The ranch, about 16 miles north of Sundance and bordering the northern edge of Deer Creek Reservoir and the Provo River, hit the market for $4.9 million in June 2021 and reportedly sold within eight days. Redford bought the property in 1996 as a winter exercise area for his horses; the listing noted a stable, a utility building and a modest single‑family home on the land.
Outside Utah, Redford owned houses in California’s wine country and the Bay Area. He owned a Napa Valley estate known as Danza del Sol for about 14 years; it included a main house, an artist’s studio and a workshop. The property was listed in 2018 for $7.5 million and sold in January 2019 for roughly $7 million, $500,000 below the asking price.
A Tiburon, California, property that Redford listed in December 2024 for $4.15 million later sold for $4.65 million. The 2,824‑square‑foot split‑level home, built in 1968, sits on the Tiburon Peninsula overlooking San Francisco Bay, Keil Cove and Angel Island. The listing described the property as an “oasis of privacy,” tucked into a cul‑de‑sac and surrounded by towering redwoods, with multiple decks and a family room.
Taken together, the sales and holdings illustrate how Redford’s personal and professional life remained closely tied to the mountain and western landscapes that informed his filmmaking and advocacy. In addition to his real estate interests, Redford founded the Sundance community in 1969 and later established the Sundance Institute and Sundance Film Festival, institutions that have played significant roles in American independent film.
Property records and real‑estate listings outline the broad contours of Redford’s holdings and recent sales; the actor and his wife transferred or sold several of the assets over the past decade. Representatives did not immediately provide a full accounting of all properties or their combined current market value beyond the estimates contained in public records.
