Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have put down roots in the south of France. The wandering couple, who has four children and twins on the way, reportedly bought a $60 million estate that takes up 1,000 acres and includes 35 bedrooms, a vineyard, lake, forest and a moat.
Although reps for the duo have yet to comment, an insider confirmed the purchase to E! News.
"It's called Chateau Miraval in a village called Brignol, which is near from Aix-en-Provence," the source said. "And it's absolutely unbelievable."
"Brad and Angelina are thrilled, they love the place and have already been furniture shopping to fill the place as it's massive...The whole family can't wait to move in."
Apparently the sprawling estate features stone-walled terraces with 13 varieties of olives, 20 fountains, aqueducts and a stream that traverses through hidden tunnels and leads to the lake.
The source said that the Jolie-Pitts will have privacy in their new home, as it is surrounded by forests. Although ponies and goats graze in nearby fields, paparazzi should not be able to take pictures of the growing brood.
The family hopes to move within the next several months, but since their April arrival in France, they have been staying in a villa in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat that belongs to Paul Allen, cofounder of Microsoft. He is a friend of Jolie, who met him while filming 2004's Shark Tale.
Pitt and Jolie had been searching for a house in the area for the past year. Other famous residents are U2 frontman Bono, whom the couple recently visited, and Johnny Depp and his partner Vanessa Paradis.
