But when it comes to everyone’s favorite spy, 007, you can cosplay to your heart’s desire, but it’s gonna cost ya. Dearly. If you’ve already got the Aston Martin in the garage and the Omega on your wrist, you can now move into that iconic villa where Her Majesty’s most famous agent says the iconic line: “The name’s Bond, James Bond.” You can watch the final two minutes of the movie in the clip below. Offered by Sotheby’s Italy, the listing is for one of five luxury apartments found within the gorgeous villa on Lake Como, near Milan. The two-level unit measures 121 square meters, or roughly 1,300 square feet, and boasts two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. As the video above by Lake Como Wonders highlights, owners also enjoy access to the sprawling grounds, shared pool, private beach, two parking spots, and a private dock and boathouse. The Neo-Medieval-style villa was built in 1929 and was reportedly featured in many Italian films before going big-time and hosting Bond, as well as the less fortunate Mr. White, who drives a lovely Jaguar XJR in the film and was shot in the leg at close range. Side note: Mr White technically doesn’t die in the film but is badly hurt, so maybe he’s still dragging himself around the basement of the villa. If you buy it, let me know he’s still around. As is the case with most high-profile properties around Lago di Como, the price was not immediately disclosed. Prominent villas in the area average from 10,000 to 15,0000 million euro, but given that this is an apartment within the property, it’s likely in the 3 to 6 million range—give or take a bit for the Hollywood premium. Happy shopping.
