Michelle Williams can be your Brooklyn landlord — for $35,000 per month

Real Estate

Michelle Williams is giving fans a chance to live in Hollywood-style luxury — if they’ve got $35,000 a month to spare.

“The Brokeback Mountain” star has put her massive 6,500-square-foot mansion in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park South up for rent — offering eight bedrooms, six full bathrooms and plenty of A-list perks, according to Realtor.com.

The historic estate, built in 1910 and often referred to as the “Tara of Brooklyn,” draws comparisons to the famous “Gone with the Wind” mansion thanks to its grand two-story porch flanked by towering columns.

Williams purchased the home in 2015 for $2.5 million and has since restored it to its former glory, with modern touches woven into the property’s old-world charm.

According to property records, Williams has been active in Brooklyn real estate for years — with a specialty in heading to areas before they become cool. In 2014, she sold a Boerum Hill townhouse for $8.8 million, significantly above its $7.5 million asking price. She purchased that residence in 2005 for $3.6 million; it’s where she lived with her former fiancé Heath Ledger, who died in early 2008 of a drug overdose.

Then in 2020, she and her husband, “Hamilton” director Thomas Kail, bought a $10.8 million townhouse in Brooklyn Heights.

Williams’ Prospect Park South property, which sits just two blocks from Prospect Park, has been meticulously renovated by Matiz Architecture and Workstead Design.

The home retains its original architectural features, including curving bay windows, a stately staircase and charming porches, while boasting modern amenities such as heated floors, a marble-counter kitchen with a La Cornue range and a home gym.

The master suite offers a dressing room, a decorative mantel and a private office.

It also features a spa-like bathroom with a private deck, a soaking tub and a sauna.

Outside, tenants will find a heated lap pool, lush landscaping, and a two-car garage — a rare find in Brooklyn.

Born and raised in Montana, Williams shot to fame on “Dawson’s Creek” before earning multiple Oscar nominations for roles in films like “Blue Valentine” and “Manchester by the Sea.”

Williams and Ledger, became a high-profile couple after meeting on the set of “Brokeback Mountain.” The two had a daughter, Matilda.

In the last couple of years, Williams, who married Kail in 2020, has since stepped back from her career to focus on family life.
