Johnny Depp is hoping to offload the French vacation home he once shared with his ex-partner Vanessa Paradis for $US26 million ($A33.33 million), the Wall Street Journal reports.

The US star purchased the five-bedroom estate, which contains an entire early-19th century village, near Plan-de-la-Tour in the south of France, in 2001.

He gave the property a $US10 million makeover, during which he converted an old church into a guest house.

The former couple used the pad as a holiday home for family getaways.

Depp is hoping to sell the house fully furnished, with all of his old art and personal effects, including everything in his “man cave”, which features a Pirates of the Caribbean theme.

The estate also boasts a local restaurant, a chapel, a car workshop, and a staff house, in addition to two swimming pools, a gym, a skate park and an art studio, where the movie star reportedly enjoyed painting.

Depp and French singer/actress Paradis split in 2012 after 14 years together.
