Oscar-winning actor Brad Pitt recently purchased a Spanish-style home in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills, adding to his impressive real estate collection. The 60-year-old actor paid around $12 million for the property, according to The Wall Street Journal, reflecting his ongoing interest in architecturally distinct residences.
The estate was previously owned by Dave Keuning, guitarist for the band The Killers, and his wife, interior designer Emilie Keuning. The couple listed the home in June for just under $14 million, having acquired it in 2021 for approximately $9.6 million from Grindr founder Joel Simkhai.
Security Remains a Primary Concern for Pitt
Sources revealed to The New York Post that security played a crucial role in Pitt’s selection of this new residence. A source explained,
He wanted somewhere that could provide an optimal security system and privacy, and this place caught his eye,
indicating heightened vigilance surrounding his home environment. Another source added,
Long before his home was burglarized, security was always a priority.
Privacy and Protection Features in the Hollywood Hills Property
Located within the gated Outpost Estates neighborhood, the 8,385-square-foot home offers extensive privacy and advanced security measures. The property includes a hand-laid brick motor court and mature landscaping designed to shield residents from outside view, enhancing seclusion.
Constructed in 1989, the house showcases classic Spanish-style architecture with artistic flourishes such as arched hallways, exposed wooden beams, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls. Unique interior details highlight a tin-panel ceiling adorned with a sunflower motif and an office space illuminated by floral lighting, blending sophistication with whimsy.
Features of Brad Pitt’s Newly Purchased Estate
The home contains six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, alongside notable design elements like a dramatic double-height foyer and a dedicated theater room. The grounds provide a pool, vegetable gardens, and a fire-pit lounge that offers expansive views of both the city and the Pacific Ocean, perfect for outdoor gatherings or quiet relaxation.
Pitt’s acquisition continues his investment in exceptional properties, following his 2022 purchase of a clifftop residence in Carmel Highlands for $40 million. Last year, he sold a Los Feliz compound for $33 million, marking a strategic reshuffling of his real estate holdings.
In related local real estate updates, streetwear designer Jerry Lorenzo, founder of Fear of God, is selling his Spanish Revival-style home in Los Feliz, a 1930-built property with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Lorenzo and his wife, Desiree Manuel, paid $8.5 million for the home and enlisted designers Kathleen and Tommy Clements to redesign it. The residence includes a main house, guest house, pool, and sports court across nearly 7,200 square feet, now listed at $9.5 million. — Represented by Marci Kays & Jonathan Mogharrabi
Context of a Recent Burglary Near Pitt’s Property
Pitt’s purchase occurs shortly after a burglary at his nearby Los Feliz home, which police reported was broken into on June 25 by four suspects who entered through a front window and ransacked the residence. While items were stolen, authorities have yet to release any information about the individuals involved.
This incident has not slowed Pitt professionally. He is set to star in David Ayer’s Navy SEAL drama Heart of the Beast, with production planned for 2026, and is involved in A24’s adaptation of Tim Winton’s novel The Riders. Pitt is also reportedly attached to a sequel to
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
