According to a listing at the Houlihan Lawrence website, the Connecticut house is under contract with a buyer.
The property at 705 West Road home in New Canaan was listed for sale at $4.725 million, but the website did not say what price is in the contract.
The Immelts bought the mansion for $5.25 million in June 2001.
They put it on the market in May 2016 for $5.5 million, but the reduced the price in October 2016 to $4.999 million and again in January to $4.725 million.
The Colonial-style stone home was built in 2000 and features six bedrooms, 9.2 bathrooms and six fireplaces in 11,458 square feet of space.
The 4-acre lot includes a pond with a fountain as well as blossoming trees and stone terraces.
