Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s star-studded former home sells fast and above asking

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s old love nest just sold for $10.8 million (AUD $16.4 million) — and it’s got more star power than a red carpet. Tucked away in Brentwood, the 1929 Montecito-style stunner comes with fireplaces galore, a guest house, secret patios, and even a film credit in Home Again. Privacy, charm, and a bit of Hollywood history? Sold.

The former marital home of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner has sold for $10.8 million (AUD $16.4 million), just one month after hitting the market with an asking price of $9.5 million (AUD $14.4 million).

People reported Jennifer originally purchased the Montecito-inspired Brentwood property in 2004 for $5.5 million (AUD $8.3 million), and Ben moved in following their marriage in 2005.

She sold the home in 2009, and the estate has since passed through other famous hands, including Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.

The 4,151-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bathroom home sits on three-quarters of an acre and was featured in the 2017 romantic comedy Home Again, starring Reese Witherspoon.

Built in 1929, the 4,151-square-foot home sits on an expansive 32,423 sq. ft. sun-drenched lot and blends Hollywood history with timeless charm.

The gated gravel driveway and courtyard with a fountain lead into a private compound featuring original Saltillo tile flooring, a stunning sunken living room with a beamed ceiling, a wood-burning fireplace, and a large picture window overlooking the pool and lush grounds.

Other highlights include a family room with flagstone pavers, a separate office, a skylight-filled kitchen and great room with French doors, and a dining room that opens onto a sunroom and outdoor patio with yet another fireplace.

The romantic primary suite features a fireplace, private terrace, garden, and outdoor spa. Two additional en-suite bedrooms, a one-bedroom guest house, and several terraces for entertaining or dining alfresco round out what the listing describes as “a very special and magical property.”

Jennifer and Ben, who share three children, Violet Anne, 19, Seraphina Rose, 16, and Samuel, 13, announced their split in June 2015 after a decade of marriage, finalising their divorce in 2018.

Ben later married Jennifer Lopez in 2022; Lopez filed for divorce in 2024.
