Another person told the publication that Rod wanted his model railway set up in his Grade 11-listed property, as that is to be his permanent base from now on.
His youngest children go to school in the UK so that is where the family spend most of their time.
Express.co.uk has contacted a representative for Sir Rod for comment.
The father-of-eight shares sons Alistair, 15, and Aiden, 10, with his wife Penny Lancaster.
“The kids go to school in the UK and he wants to see them grow up so wants to spend more time here,” the source said.
