Hollywood Hills, CA – August 5, 2025 — Actor and producer Brad Pitt has expanded his substantial real estate holdings with the recent acquisition of a luxurious home in the Hollywood Hills for $12 million, according to The Real Deal.
Spanning approximately 8,400 square feet, the contemporary property includes six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, offering ample space, privacy, and architectural appeal in one of Los Angeles’ most exclusive enclaves. The estate was previously owned by Dave Keuning, guitarist for the Grammy-nominated rock band The Killers, and his wife Emilie Keuning, an accomplished interior designer.
The home was initially listed for just under $14 million, making the final price a considerable deal for a buyer with Pitt’s eye for value and design. The Hollywood Hills address continues Pitt’s long-standing real estate activity in the Los Angeles area and reinforces his presence in LA’s most desirable residential corridors.
A Track Record of High-Profile Real Estate Moves
Brad Pitt’s real estate portfolio is among the most diverse and high-end in the entertainment industry. In addition to the new Hollywood Hills purchase, he owns:
- The historic D.L. James House in Carmel Highlands, which he purchased in 2022 for $40 million
- Three commercial properties in the Frogtown area of Los Angeles
- A co-ownership stake in Château Miraval, a French winery and estate he acquired during his marriage to actress Angelina Jolie
Pitt also recently sold his longtime residence at 5769 Briarcliff Road in Los Feliz for $38.5 million, part of a major repositioning of his personal and professional footprint in Southern California. The Briarcliff sale and the new Hollywood Hills purchase demonstrate Pitt’s continued interest in landmark architectural properties with long-term investment value.
Representation and Market Dynamics
Both sides of the transaction were represented by agents from Carolwood Estates, a firm known for its dominance in the celebrity and luxury housing markets. The sellers, Dave and Emilie Keuning, were represented by David Parnes, Sam Collins, and James Harris. Pitt was represented by Marci Kays and Jonathan Mogharrabi, the same team that previously facilitated the Briarcliff Road sale.
Kays and Mogharrabi have had a particularly active year. In late June, they also set a record in Silver Lake with the $10 million sale of 1844 Silverwood Terrace, a price unmatched in that submarket for single-family homes.
Carolwood Estates, which has quickly become one of the most active agencies in LA’s high-end market, was also involved in last week’s $110 million sale of Spelling Manor, now tied as the most expensive residential deal in Los Angeles this year. That estate, located at 594 South Mapleton Drive in Holmby Hills, was reportedly purchased by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and his wife, Wendy Schmidt, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The Carolwood team double-ended that deal as well, with Drew Fenton representing the seller, an undisclosed Saudi national, and Linda May representing the Schmidts. Notably, the May sale of 630 Nimes Road in Bel-Air—purchased by Australian billionaire James Packer—was the other $110 million transaction this year, and it too involved multiple Carolwood agents.
The Broader Context of LA’s Ultra-Luxury Market
Pitt’s latest real estate move aligns with a broader trend in Los Angeles’ luxury housing market. Despite macroeconomic pressures and tighter lending conditions, the city continues to see record-breaking sales fueled by cash-rich buyers, international investors, and entertainment figures seeking legacy properties.
This ongoing demand for exclusive, architecturally significant homes—especially in neighborhoods like Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, and Los Feliz—has contributed to limited inventory and upward pressure on high-end values. Celebrity transactions, while headline-worthy, also play a pivotal role in setting new pricing benchmarks for their respective neighborhoods.
This purchase by Brad Pitt not only adds another trophy property to his name but also underscores the continued resilience and appeal of LA’s top-tier residential real estate—where iconic homes, elite representation, and strategic timing intersect to create deals that attract global attention.
