Felicity Huffman and husband William H Macy’s $20 million real estate portfolio 

It was revealed in court last week that actress Felicity Huffman would be released on $1 million bail following her arrest on a single charge of mail fraud in connection to her alleged actions in Operation Varsity Blues.

At that time, it was noted that Huffman and her actor husband William H Macy had managed to amass a real estate portfolio over the years that is now valued at $20 million.

DailyMail.com was able to track down these impressive plots, from their cabin in upstate Vermont and Huffman’s childhood home outside Aspen to their massive Los Angeles compound, which expanded a few years back after the two purchased their neighbor’s property.

The smallest property of the bunch is the one that Macy seems most proud of, and one he owned long before he met Huffman.

In the 1980s, the actor purchased a cabin in Vermont near Goddard College, his alma mater.

If anyone knows the importance of college it is Macy, as Goddard is where he met the man who would change his life and vice versa in David Mamet.

The now-famed playwright was teaching at the school at the time, and he and Macy went off to form the Atlantic Theater Company, which Huffman would later join.

Macy described the property in a 2006 piece for The New York Times.

‘My little cabin actually started as three cabins. They were part of a motel called Toy Town, and they sat out on Route 2 until Daphne, the woman I bought the place from, moved them. I hooked them together, so although the cabin is only about 400 square feet, it has about 12 roof lines,’ said Macy.

‘On one side of the largest cabin there was a little door that opened to a fuse box. I didn't have electricity, but I left the door there. One summer, for no good reason, I opened the door and a writhing mass of garter snakes fell out all over my feet. I jumped so high I left one of my shoes.’

That cabin is also where director Paul Thomas Anderson was staying when he wrote the script for his epic third feature film, Magnolia.

He has said in the past it was those very snakes that inspired the film, as he was too afraid to go outside after seeing one on the porch.

Their other vacation property is on 27 acres in Colorado, and is the same property where Huffman grew up and where she was later married to Macy.

The structure on the property had to be demolished because it was not up to code after Huffman made the purchase, and in 2018 Architectural Digest got a look at the newly remastered property.

In the end the changes increased the value of the property to over $10 million, with Huffman sharing the plot with the other women in her family. 

‘Thus the “old-new house," as the couple calls it, has the same basic structure Huffman grew up with, but expanded and shifted 100 feet to the left of its original location. Now, each of the five upstairs bedrooms contains its own bathroom (a stark contrast to Huffman sharing one bathroom with her six sisters),’ wrote the reporter of that piece.

‘They also threw out dead space like the formal dining room, opting instead to have roving dinners in several rooms. A weathervane-topped cupola still resides on the roof, but they pried off the pantry door marked with heights of their kids, and moved Huffman’s mom’s bright yellow kitchen cabinets into Macy’s woodworking shop.’

That story also notes how Macy did a bit of the carpentry on that home as well, located in Little Woody Creek, just north of Aspen.

Macy joked in that interview that the home was the ‘Hollywood version’ of the original, saying: ‘At one point I went in and said, “This thing is more complicated than Versailles! We’ve got to simplify it.” They even called in a trompe l’oeil guy who did the switch plates and the covers of the music speakers!’
