Celebrity Homes: Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie house in the South of France
The Pitt-Jolie fairy tale: back in 2008, when Brad and Angelina were settling down with their adopted children and sweet new baby Shiloh, they were also expecting a new set of twins. What to do, what to do with a growing brood and no space to put them in? Buy a grand and glorious private mansion in the South of France to put the new family in, of course. Here's the "history of" story about the luxury rental property they appear to have leased and then decided to purchase to make their family stay more long term as their new celebrity home.
LOCAL CELEBRITIES IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE: ENJOYING A EUROPEAN LIFESTYLE
The pop culture history news review of the the American royal couple nicknamed "Brangelina" were deciding to make their home a good part of the year in the South of France came as a shock to many back in 2008 -- that is until they had a look at the fairy tale home the Pitt-Jolie family found as a rental and rumor says decided to buy and make their own.
"It’s called Chateau Miraval in a village called Brignol, which is near from Aix-en-Provence, and it’s absolutely unbelievable..." says one source, according to Hollywood Grind and other popular celebrity news reports.
Brad and Angelina will not be the first, last, or only International Star set to make the South of France a major home base. Historically, royal European nobles and aristocracy have all flocked to the region for it's quiet pace and resort warm to moderately temperate climate feeling.
Some of the most recent celebrities to camp out in France for a fair portion of the year are quite famous (and talented).
The couple’s neighbors will include Johnny Depp, Vanessa Paradis, and U2 singer Bono.
Looking back to the purchase time (in 2008), a source quite familiar with the property and the celebrity couple revealed to an eager celebrity home tabloid audience that,
"Brad and Angelina are thrilled, they love the place and have already been furniture shopping to fill the place as it’s massive. They’ve already spent almost another million on furniture and the whole family can’t wait to move in."
"Ponies and goats graze in the nearby fields. The house is surrounded by a forest so they’ll have total privacy, which is exactly what they’re after. No one will ever be able to get pictures of them relaxing at home, it’s just impossible."

Here's what the land and mansion were reportedly worth and why the celebrity couple may have gotten a good bargain (because of the global recession in real estate). According to the Hollywood Grind,
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have purchased a 1,000-acre estate in the south of France... The cost of this estate has been reported at $60 and $70 million.
The estate reportedly has 1,000-acres of property: that fact alone is literal and figurative huge news. The details of the other celebrity home features and luxury property amenities that make this particular parcel of real estate so great are as follows:
- 35 bedrooms
- a vineyard
- lake
- forest
- moat
- swimming pool
- billiards room

- his-and-hers gyms
- sauna and jacuzzi
- a huge banquet hall

- water aqueducts
- a stream that runs through hidden tunnels and passes through the moat, and also fills the lake.

What do YOU think: Should "A List" celebrity couple Brad and Angelina move permanently to the South of France or should they head back to the United States year 'round (where hubby-fill in Brad Pitt could conceivably run for Mayor of New Orleans -- a political discussion that has already been rumored)?

Poor children! From misery to luxury. Do they need 35 bedrooms and a vineyard? Do they need all the travelling around the world? No! They need only a nice home with loving parents. Not sort of Brangelina - parents. With the money the couple spend for luxury, they could do lot of good work.

Live and let live. I think these 2 are great parents and take really good care of there kids. These are not the first set of celebrities to have kids so obviously there kids are not going to have a "normal" life like a middle class family BUT there affectionate towards each other and there kids. Plus they do alot for the less fortunate across the world, people need to stop hating on this beautiful couple, there doing nothing but good in the world, for there biological kids, the kids they have adopted and honestly people they come in contact with. People need to get over how they met considering they are not the first couple to leave a marriage to be with one another, obviously this is Brad's true love and it shows.... i wish them nothing but success in life and hope they keep doing the good things in life they do!!
this will definitely be their home, good for them! the children need a constant place to live. this is the place they have spent the most time so hope all is happy.
Are you kidding me? These are supposed to be the martyrs of America...adopting children left and right and they throw 60 to 70 million away on a house? How many mouths could that feed? How many disfigurements could that fix? How many children could be innoculated? Angelina is a phony and shame on Brad with his functional upbringing to do something so was selfish and irrational....what was he thinking? At leat Angelina has an excuse being born in to a dysfunctional family. Jen would never be so wasteful
Haters...who cares what we think. It's their money their children their lives
People can say whatever they want to about Anglina jolie but she still remains a very compassionate women who does alot of good work for those less forunate. She is an inspiration.
Jennifer Anisotn is a class act with grace and charm. I wish her nothing but the best in all areas of her life. She is a lady!
Daphne, i think you are in the wrong site?!? As for the rest who have nothing good to say about the couple_ get a life! Envy and hatred will not bring you anywhere, you'll forever be bitter and envious, lighten up and look at the brighter side people. Breathe!!!
Jennifer Aniston is media whore and allways was! Nothing classy about her, if she has so many kwalities than why guys run away from her? She is boring, unatrective and lame!Angelina was media whore before the kids but now she wants to hide and let her do that! With all those people stalking her, i understand why!
I think Angelina and Brad are doing a wonderful job. I admire them...Angelina care about people who have no power! She does give back all the time...Why can't she spend that tye of money on a house it's her money! I take my hat off to them....so keep hating haters, and remember you hating on them is not hurting them one bit!!! I so LoVe you Angelina Jolie.....Keep up the GOOD work!!!!
Are you kidding me? Sorry I can't stand her at all.. Angelina is phony,selfish, jealous. Angelina likes to show off at the red carpets.. Photos Angelina, Brad Pitt is fake and all act. And how Angelina is jealous of Brad. How she dosn't like how he flirts other women celeberty. Or how she dosn't like when Brad flims a movie with hot celeberty.. For examples Natalie Portman.Or how she can't stand his drinking,and going out with his buddies. They are only together because of the kds.Or the time when Angelina went to Iraq with Maddox.Of crouse Brad getting really mad at her.
you idiots are so judgemental. You act as if you know them personally! Grow up people. Stop acting out of jealousy
This is so disgusting! So true: this money can buy so much food for the unfortunate. All these 2 do is for themselves, throwing crops to the poor to have good excuse for and feed their money-fame eager egoes. Very disgusting!!!
Think privacy is what they're looking for more than anything else. Also, there are laws in France that prohibit paps from taking the kids pictures (at least up close). They are extremely generous with their money AND TIME for humanitarian causes, but are criticized if they spend any on their own family. His ex wife lives all alone in a $25 mil mansion, has 2 full time chefs, butler, housekeepers, dog walkers, assistants, personal trainers, personal hairstylists (remember that $50k for one week?) and doesn't receive any (or much) criticism. These two can't catch a break from the haters no matter what they do.
SHUT UP, MOVE ON. LEAVE BRANGELINA ALONE. ALL HATERS GOING TO HELL FOR JEALOUSY
Some ugly jealous people here should get a life
JEALOUSY IS AN UGLY EMOTION, YES, IT DIFFICULT TO ESCAPE. iT SEEM LIKE THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING TO BE JEALOUS

Love this site and after reading more and more about celebrity houses, I started wondering how it can be possible to find those properties? I looked over the internet and came accross this website and it so happens that it is the real estate agency that takes care of most celebs and rich people homes sales in France. Take a look, I could not believe my eyes. They have castles, apartments in Paris from 1 to 30 (!!!) million dollars, the houses on the french riviera are insane near nice, cannes, aix en provence, monaco.... http://www.agencemercure.com
