Brad Pitt Drops $12M On A Hollywood Hills Hideaway With Serious Security Vibes on ONDA LA

Brad Pitt’s New Hollywood Hills Pad: A $12M Fortress

Brad Pitt is making moves in the real estate game, snagging a jaw-dropping Spanish-style estate in the heart of the Hollywood Hills for a cool $12 million. This isn’t just any LA pad - it’s a gated retreat in the exclusive Outpost Estates, a neighborhood known for its star-studded residents like Orlando Bloom and Ben Affleck. Pitt scooped up the property from Dave Keuning, the lead guitarist of The Killers, and his wife, interior designer Emilie Keuning, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The Keunings had the 8,385-square-foot mansion listed for just under $14 million after buying it for $9.6 million in 2021 from Joel Simkhai, the brain behind Grindr. Pitt’s new digs aren’t just about luxury - they come with top-tier security, something the Oscar winner was prioritizing even before a recent burglary at his nearby mid-century home. Talk about perfect timing for a fresh start in a SoCal sanctuary.

Why Security is King for Pitt

Word on the street is that Pitt was on the hunt for a place that could double as a fortress, and this Hollywood Hills gem checked every box. A source close to the deal spilled to us that the actor was all about finding a spot with an optimal security setup and maximum privacy - a must for any celeb dodging the paparazzi on the daily.

“Brad’s been laser-focused on safety for a while now, way before the break-in at his other place. This new estate was the perfect fit to keep things locked down,” the source dished.

The burglary at his Los Feliz mid-century home on June 26 - which was already under contract to sell - only reinforced the need for a tighter setup. Luckily, this Outpost Estates property comes prewired for alarms and is surrounded by mature landscaping for that extra layer of “stay out” vibes. Behind the secure gates, there’s even a hand-laid brick motor court - fancy and functional.

Inside the Luxe Details of Pitt’s New Digs

Built around 1989, Pitt’s new crib is a blend of old-school charm and custom flair. We’re talking arched hallways, wood-beam ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling glass that screams classic Hollywood Hills architecture. Unique touches like a tin-panel ceiling with a sunflower motif and a floral-lit office space add some serious personality to the six-bedroom, eight-bathroom spread.

The amenities don’t stop there. A double-height foyer, a theater room, and outdoor perks like a pool, vegetable gardens, and a fire-pit lounge make this place a dream for hosting or just chilling with those epic city-to-ocean views. It’s the kind of spot you’d expect an A-lister to call home during a laid-back SoCal summer.

A Growing Real Estate Empire

This purchase is just the latest addition to Pitt’s impressive property portfolio. Back in 2022, he dropped $40 million on a clifftop stunner in Carmel Highlands, and last year, he offloaded a Los Feliz compound for $33 million. That same Los Feliz spot hit by the burglars? Already in contract to sell for $5 million before the incident went down.

Pitt’s also got a stake in Château Miraval, the French winery he co-owns with ex-wife Angelina Jolie, though that’s been tied up in some messy legal drama. For now, it looks like he’s focusing on building his West Coast empire, with this Hollywood Hills hideaway as the crown jewel. Representing Pitt in the deal were Carolwood’s Marci Kays and Jonathan Mogharrabi, while the Keunings worked with Carolwood Estates brokers David Parnes, Sam Collins, and James Harris.
