Does he still have the famous Atlanta penthouse? Nope—sold it in 2018. The Venice palazzo? Also sold. He’s streamlined his real estate empire down to Woodside and a vacation home in Nice, France. You know, just a humble little French villa.
The Nice house is more understated—if “understated” means a cliffside mansion with infinity pools and a view of the Mediterranean that would make you weep. He calls it his “sunshine house.”
But make no mistake: Woodside is home. It’s where he retires after gigs, where he argues about whose turn it is to walk the dogs, and where he stores his 800 pairs of sunglasses.
The Final Word: A Castle Full of Joy
So, where does Elton John live now? He lives in a castle in Windsor, England, wearing slippers embroidered with his own face, surrounded by family, pianos, and probably a jar of sequins labeled “Emergency Glitter.”
It’s a far cry from the wild, drug-fueled days of the 1970s. Now, his wildest indulgence is a new throw pillow or a particularly saucy lemon drizzle cake.
And honestly? That’s the most fairy-tale ending anyone could ask for. He’s the Rocket Man who finally landed—and he parked right in a castle with a pool shaped like a piano. Perfect.
