In short

Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw have chosen to put the sale of their 2.8-acre equestrian property, known as Dogwood, on hold.

Beyond its equestrian facilities, the sprawling main residence offers upscale living spaces including walnut flooring, a dedicated wine cellar, and a media room. Sandro Dazzan of The Agency was handling the $29.9 million listing prior to its removal.
