Model Rosie Huntington Whiteley recently made a high-profile appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, where she was spotted dining at Eden Roc. Beyond the fashion, the 39-year-old star is preparing for a massive residential move to the South Coast of England with her partner, Jason Statham.

The $34 million brutalist estate on England's South Coast

The scale of the new residence for Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Jason Statham is immense, totaling an estimated $34 million investment. According to the report, Jason Statham paid $27 million for the waterside site in January 2024, which included a gatehouse and a modernist home already under construction. An additional $8 million is expected to be spent to complete the build.

The property is designed in a brutalist architecture style, emphasizing raw materials and minimalist lines. The estate spans 20 acres and includes five bedrooms, a private beach, and a horse stable to accommodate Rosie Huntington Whiteley's passion for riding. One of the most striking features is a 42,000 sq ft boating lake and a wild swimming pond, creating a self-contained leisure ecosystem on the grounds.

A 20-acre 'forever home' overlooking a naturist beach

While the estate is a marvel of modern design, its location provides an unexpected quirk. As reported by the Daily Mail, the futuristic 'forever home' is situated on a naturists' beach, meaning the couple's private views include a nudist colony. The property also features an enormous treehouse designed for the couple's two children, Jack, aged eight, and Isabella, aged four.

This move toward massive, secluded estates echoes a broader trend among ultra-high-net-worth individuals who are prioritizing 'fortress-like' privacy and expansive land holdings over traditional city penthouses. By integrating an indoor lap pool and a large gym, the Statham-Whiteley residence functions as a private wellness retreat, reducing the need for external club memberships.

Weight lifting as an alternative to Ozempic

Amidst a celebrity culture where many have admitted to using weight-loss drugs like Ozempic to maintain a slender frame, Rosie Huntington Whiteley is championing a different path. The model told Vogue Australia that she relies on a strict exercise regime centered on lifting weights to maintain her muscle tone and posture.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley emphasized to Vogue Australia that her fitness philosophy is not merely about aesthetics,stating that every woman should try weight training to feel strong and confident. this focus on strength training is reflected in the inclusion of a dedicated large gym within the plans for her new English estate.

The Sargent-inspired silhouette from the Met Gala

The model's approach to style is often rooted in classical art,as seen in her recent Met Gala appearance.. Rosie Huntington Whiteley wore a dark brown Burberry dress that she explained to Vogue was inspired by John Singer Sargent's painting, Portrait Of Madame X, a work she described as "incredibly striking."

The identity of the Royal architect and the nudist beach awareness

Despite the level of detail regarding the property, a few key points remain unverified. The report mentions the house was originally designed by one of the Royal Family's trusted architects, but does not name the specific indivdual or firm. Additionally, it remains unclear if Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington Whiteley were fully aware of the adjacent naturist beach at the time of the $27 million purchase, or if the discovery came later.
