Gleb Savchenko has decided against selling his Joshua Tree vacation home, reversing a listing that had been on the market since August, TMZ reported on Thursday, November 12, 2026.
The "Dancing with the Stars" professional told TMZ that the desert property holds personal significance for him. "I realized I don't need to sell it. This is where I feel grounded and at peace, and I want to spend a lot more time here," Savchenko told TMZ.
The listing had been placed in August, a period during which Savchenko was engaged in a contentious custody battle with his ex, Elena Samodanova. The former couple has been involved in a bitter dispute over custody of their children for months, with each side making accusations against the other.
Savchenko described a strong personal connection to the property, telling TMZ that his discovery of the house coincided with a period of introspection. "When I found this house, I was going through a deep spiritual awakening—meditating, reconnecting with myself, and really looking inward," he told TMZ.
He further characterized the land itself as distinctive, saying, "There's something about this land; it feels like a vortex, a place where I can connect with my soul and my inner child and get clear about what I want to manifest in my life," according to TMZ.
The decision keeps the property in Savchenko's hands for now, preserving what he describes as a retreat for reflection as the custody proceedings continue.
