Brad Pitt has quietly put his longtime Los Angeles compound on the market for around $40 million amid his ongoing divorce battle from Angelina Jolie,
which has included domestic violence allegations and reports that his relationship with his six children has become “strained.”
A real estate source confirmed to People this week that the 59-year-old actor has listed his 1.9-acre property in the Los Feliz neighborhood, which Pitt once referred to as his kids’ “childhood home.”
The property boasts several structures, including a 6,692-square-foot Craftsman main house, as well as a swimming pool, private tennis pavilion and skate park, according to Architectural Digest.
Pitt reportedly is looking to downsize and wants “something smaller” in the Los Angeles area, the real estate source told People.
But among the numerous properties Pitt has bought and sold over the years, this one has special meaning.
The Oscar winner began creating his beloved Los Feliz compound in 1994, a couple of years after he first shot to stardom with his charismatic performance as a hunky hitchhiker in “Thelma & Louise,” Architectural Digest said.
The actor paid $1.7 million for a mansion that belonged to Cassandra Peterson, better known by her alter ego, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
Over the next decade, the actor picked up two contiguous properties to expand the compound and purchased two more after after he divorced Jennifer Aniston and he and Jolie became a Hollywood super couple in 2005, Architectural Digest said.
When they were together, Pitt and Jolie were known for their globe-trotting lifestyle, traveling with their children from country to country for movie locations and for her UN humanitarian work.
The couple also grew their real estate portfolio, purchasing a home in New Orleans in 2007 and Château Miraval in France in 2011.
