Chateau Miraval - Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie's House

Hollywood actors Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie bought the Chateau Miraval estate on the French Riviera in 2012 for $60 Million after they signed a long term lease on the property in 2008. The estate served as a family retreat for the former couple and their kids, as well as hosting their wedding in 2014.

The 1,200-acre estate sits along an ancient Roman road and contains multiple structures from the 17th century. Remnants of a Romanesque chapel, where Jolie and Pitt married, can be found on the property, as well as pine forests, olive groves, sprawling hillsides, a private lake, numerous fountains, a vineyard, and a moat.

Pitt reportedly put his stamp on the property, which includes 35 rooms in the main house, in order to make it more kid-friendly. The improvements include a spa, gym, indoor and outdoor pools, a home theater, a video game room, a dirt bike course, and a helicopter pad. Jolie also made some additions to the chateau, having a 200-year-old olive tree relocated to the garden in 2010.

It is believed that in 1252, influential philosopher and theologian Saint Thomas Aquinas spent several days at Miraval.

In more recent history, Miraval was purchased in 1970 by French jazz pianist Jacques Loussier, who created Studio Miraval on the property. Pink Floyd recorded tracks for their seminal album The Wall there in 1979, and other acts to use the facilities have included AC/DC, Sting, and Muse.

In 1992, Miraval became the property of American winemaker Tom Bove, who developed it into one of France's top organic wine producers. Pitt and Jolie continued the estate's wine-growing tradition by launching Miraval wines on Valentine's Day 2013 in collaboration with France's much respected Perrin family.
