ABC's "The Bachelorette" reportedly gets some pricey new digs in Charlotte, NC " Entertainment For the first time in "The Bachelor/Bachelorette's" lengthy span on ABC (since 2002), the reality show will not film the first episode at the Spanish-style estate "Villa de la Vina" located in the Santa Monica Mountains of Southern California. Rather, the producers of the long-running show are choosing to produce episodes from Charlotte, NC, which is the hometown of new Bachelorette, Emily Maynard. According to Reality Steve, this home will be used in the Bachelorette season premiere this spring and - surprise - it's on the Charlotte real estate market for $3.9 million. Local TV station WSOC-TV.comalso lists the home as a possible location for the show. The property's listing agent Nicholas Peters did confirm that his brokerage has a home being used by ABC, however, he said "by contract, the owners and agents can't disclose the address." He explained that once filming wraps up, ABC would give the brokerage the green light to share the address and actively market the home.
