In a move no one saw coming, Fox News anchor Dana Perino has quietly purchased a 140-year-old stone manor in the French countryside for a reported $1.7 million — but insiders say it has nothing to do with retirement.
The sprawling estate, nestled in the Loire Valley and surrounded by lavender fields and centuries-old vineyards, was acquired through a discreet transaction earlier this year. But rather than use it as a retreat or retirement getaway, Dana has something far more ambitious — and heartwarming — in mind.
“She didn’t buy it to leave the world behind,” a close friend shared. “She bought it to bring the world together.”
Sources reveal Dana plans to transform the historic home into a mentorship haven for young women journalists from around the globe — a place where they can write, reflect, and rebuild confidence in the age of noisy media.
The project, already in quiet development under the name “Maison de Vérité” (House of Truth), will offer immersive fellowships, writing residencies, and private seminars hosted by Dana herself and a rotating list of global news leaders.
“I want it to be the kind of place I wish I had at 25,” Dana reportedly told a longtime producer.
The house is currently being restored with meticulous care — keeping original mosaic floors and antique windows, while adding modern creative spaces, podcast studios, and even a small chapel-like room “just for thinking.”
The news broke after an architectural blog leaked drone footage showing Perino visiting the site in jeans and gardening gloves, leading fans to speculate online.
Now, hashtags like #DanaInFrance, #MaisonDeVérité, and #LegacyInStone are trending.
Fox News has yet to release an official statement, but insiders say Dana will split time between New York and France starting in 2026.
“It’s not a step back,” one colleague said. “It’s the most Dana Perino move ever — quiet, brilliant, and for someone else’s good.”
