Brad Pitt acquires $12 million Hollywood Hills home

Hollywood star Brad Pitt has purchased a Spanish-style home in Los Angeles for US$12 million (AUD$18 million), adding to his growing real estate portfolio.

The property was sold by Dave Keuning, lead guitarist for rock band the Killers, and his wife Emilie Keuning, an interior designer according to Mansion Global.

The couple had listed the home for nearly US$14 million in June after purchasing it in 2021 for approximately US$9.6 million from Grindr founder Joel Simkhai.

Located in the prestigious Outpost Estates community in the Hollywood Hills, the property spans approximately 8,385 square feet and features six bedrooms.

The area has attracted numerous celebrities over the years, including Orlando Bloom and Ben Affleck.

According to the listing, the Spanish-style residence, originally built around 1989, boasts impressive architectural details including a double-height foyer with wood-beam ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Arched corridors lead to main entertaining spaces, while the living room features black steel French doors and a distinctive tin-panel ceiling with a sunflower motif.

The property’s exterior is equally impressive, featuring a swimming pool, tiered vegetable gardens, and a barbecue area.

Security and privacy are ensured by a gated entry with a hand-laid brick motor court.

Pitt, an Oscar-winning actor currently starring in “F1 The Movie,” has demonstrated a keen interest in architecture and real estate over the years.

In 2022, he purchased a home in Carmel Highlands for $40 million, and in 2023, he sold his longtime Los Feliz compound for $33 million while acquiring a Midcentury house in the same neighborhood for $5.5 million.

The actor also co-owns Château Miraval, a French winery that has been the subject of ongoing legal disputes with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie.

David Parnes, Sam Collins, and James Harris of Carolwood Estates represented the sellers, while Marci Kays and Jonathan Mogharrabi, also of Carolwood, represented Pitt in the transaction.
