Inside RHOBH’s Garcelle Beauvais $765K LA cottage as star tears down property to build vacation home
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais is getting ready to build her dream vacation home.
The Sun has learned that the 55-year-old Haitian-American beauty
plunked down , one bedroom, one bath
cottage near the beach on August 27, 2021, just to tear it down.
As our exclusive photos reveal, Garcelle has already leveled the
dilapidated 1956 cottage that sat on the 2,400 square foot lot, and a bike lock secures the empty space behind a fence and green tarp.
Fans of the hit Bravo reality show know that she recently revealed her
elaborate plans to build a two-story, 2,700 square foot home there.
“I want to go up. I want to have different decks. I want it to be modern. I just want it to be a place my kids can go and just have fun, create memories, and when I’m gone they can say, ‘This is really cool that mom did this,’” the RHOBH star explained during an episode.
Garcelle has an adult son Oliver, 31 from her first marriage, and twin
sons Jax and Jaid with ex-husband Mike Nilon.

She’s even a grandma to Oliver Jr, who turned two earlier this year.
The now empty lot sits just steps from a public beach.
The popular series revealed the home was in the more general Ventura County, CA, and while it is there technically, it’s actually in the Oxnard, or Port Hueneme area.
Prices are traditionally more reasonable in this section of the county
because it lacks the glitz and glamour of Montecito and Santa Barbara that are just a bit farther north up the coast.

Once the home is completed- which could be a while thanks to permits and possible construction delays due to shortages- Garcelle plans on making the place a weekend getaway from her $1.2million home in Los Angeles County.
There are plenty of attractions in the area to keep everyone in her
family entertained.
Aside from seafood restaurants and top notch produce stands from local farmers, there are bike paths, antique shops, outlet malls, as well as the annual strawberry festivals, the Harbor Parade of Lights at
Christmastime, and more.
Oxnard is known for cool weather year round, a nice break from Los
Angeles where the summer temps can reach over 100 degrees for weeks on end.

Garcelle told her costars at the time of showing off her cottage: “It’s really going to be little but I’m so excited.”
Kyle Richards responded supportively, “It’s yours, and you worked for it!”
