Brad Pitt acquired a $12 million Spanish-style mansion in Outpost Estates on August 5, 2025, following a devastating break-in at his previous Hollywood Hills residence. The Academy Award-winning actor purchased the 8,385-square-foot estate from Dave Keuning, The Killers’ lead guitarist, securing the property for nearly $2 million below its $13.999 million asking price. The six-bedroom mansion features panoramic views and enhanced security measures that attracted the actor to this exclusive celebrity enclave where privacy concerns shaped his strategic relocation decision.
In a significant real estate acquisition that underscores the ongoing appeal of Hollywood Hills’ most exclusive enclaves, Brad Pitt has acquired a Spanish-style mansion in the prestigious Outpost Estates community for $12 million, purchasing the property from Dave Keuning, lead guitarist of The Killers. The acquisition, which closed on August 5, 2025, occurred just weeks after Pitt’s previous residence was burglarized in a high-profile break-in, suggesting the purchase serves both security and lifestyle considerations.
The 8,385-square-foot estate, originally built in 1989 with extensive renovations, features six bedrooms and seven-and-a-half bathrooms across its sprawling layout. Notable architectural elements include a double-height foyer, wood-beam ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and panoramic views extending from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean.
The sprawling 8,385-square-foot estate boasts six bedrooms, panoramic city-to-ocean views, and distinctive Spanish architectural elements throughout.
Interior details showcase a blend of traditional Spanish and modern luxury elements, with arched corridors leading to main entertaining spaces and a living room featuring black steel French doors and a tin-panel ceiling with sunflower motif. The residence also boasts impressive outdoor amenities including a pool, tiered vegetable gardens, and a barbecue area.
The property was initially listed in June 2025 for $13.999 million, with Pitt’s successful negotiation resulting in a final purchase price nearly $2 million below the asking amount. Keuning had acquired the mansion for approximately $9.6 million in 2021, representing a substantial appreciation in value over the four-year ownership period. The previous owner before Keuning was Joel Simkhai, founder of the social networking app Grindr.
Outpost Estates maintains its reputation as a premier celebrity enclave, with notable residents including Orlando Bloom and Ben Affleck. The community’s emphasis on privacy and security measures continues to attract high-profile entertainment industry figures seeking discretion and exclusivity.
The neighborhood’s collection of historic Spanish-style residences contributes to its enduring real estate value and cultural significance within Hollywood Hills.
The timing of Pitt’s acquisition coincided with the passing of his mother, Jane Etta Pitt, adding personal context to the major life change. His previous nearby midcentury modern residence had been the target of the recent burglary, making the move to the more secure Outpost Estates community a strategic decision.
This purchase expands Pitt’s extensive global real estate portfolio, which spans multiple cities and countries, reflecting his diversified property interests and hands-on approach to renovation and design.
