Teresa Giudice of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” is on the prowl for some property drama.

The table-toppling reality show star has picked up a Montville Township estate with her boyfriend, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, TMZ has reported.

The pad sold in early January for $3.35 million, according to property records.

The pair appear to be embarking on a business partnership. Meanwhile, on Valentine’s Day, they celebrated their relationship on social media.

Ruelas, who reportedly dabbles in real estate investments, put up the funds for the multimillion dollar estate. However, it’s not clear if the couple plan to move in, or if this is purely a flip situation. Apparently, Giudice is likely to act as the property manager, TMZ asserts.

The couple did manage to negotiate a discount on the price. The mansion was first placed on the market in November 2017, for $3.9 million, but the price was cut to $3.49 million in June 2020. The couple made a deal for slightly under that amount.

Giudice is certainly familiar with the neighborhood. Her new digs are just a couple of doors down from the home once owned by her brother, Joe Gorga, and her sister-in-law and fellow “RHONJ” castmate Melissa Gorga.

The lavish spread is also just 3 miles from the home she’s trying to sell with her ex-husband, Joe Giudice. That swanky showpiece—which often served as the backdrop to scenes from “Housewives”—went on the market last fall for $2.5 million. Earlier this year, the price was sliced to just under $2.25 million, and it’s still available.

As for the new digs, the spread, built in 2006, offers seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, on nearly 6 acres of land. Dubbed Clarence Manor, the mansion is modeled on the Thomas Kinkade painting “Beyond Summer Gate” and was designed by WESKetch Architecture.

It features a six-car garage, four fireplaces, custom moldings, and Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring.

The front door opens on a dramatic floating staircase, which leads to a fireside living room, private first-floor office, and banquet-sized formal dining room, all with walls of windows and plentiful space for large gatherings.

A high-end kitchen includes custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances, as well as room for a casual dining table. A wall of windows looks out to the backyard. Nearby, the family room features a fireplace, wet bar, and French doors leading out to the back of the home.

Upstairs, the master suite has a fireplace and an en suite bathroom, with double vanities, heated marble floors, and a towel warmer.

The lower level features an abundance of recreational amenities, including a home theater, concession stand, exercise room, game room, and a guest bedroom with full bathroom.

Outside, the tranquil grounds include the heated pool and slide, plus a cabana with bath, along with multiple terraces and resortlike grounds.

Perhaps we’ll “watch what happens” to the house on the show’s upcoming season. Stay tuned!
