Brad and Angelina Buy a House - Another One

Brad and Angelina have added to their growing house collection by purchasing a very, very large one in southern France - Chateau Miraval. According to E! news, Brad and Angelina purchased Chateau Miraval for a cool $60 million dollars. I don’t know about you, but I can’t even comprehend that kind of money!
The house apparently features:
- outdoor swimming pool
- indoor swimming pool
- billiards room
- his and hers gyms
- sauna
- jacuzzi
- large banquet hall
- 20 fountains, aqueducts, and streams
- a MOAT
- 1,000 acres of land
- a lake
- 35 bedrooms
The entire property is also surrounded by forest, meaning that it will not be easy for photographers to get a peak at the family, as they will be unable to trespass on the private property.
But Chateau Miraval is not just a home, it’s a working vineyard - one of the fastest growing vineyards in France, actually. It was purchased in 1993 by Tom Bove and his wife, a couple from Indiana who were on a wine tour in France and saw that Chateau Miraval was for sale.

Tom is seen here with Fanny Crosy, who runs the commercial and exportment department at the Chateau
Since then Tom has turned the business into a very profitable one, creating distinct wines and planting 13 different types of olive trees in order to try to have Chateau Miraval produce olive oil. It also looks like the family will have plenty of room to run around:

According to the sources, Brad and Angelina have been busy getting furniture for their new home and hope to move in within three months - just in time to be there with the new additions, I’d guess! What do you think about the new house that Brad and Angelina bought?

Hi Melodie, nice to see you here…
Wow, what a grand house…too big for my imagination, but I guess the JPs know what they want. It sounds and looks like a lovely house. At least it sounds like it will give them a big space for privacy, which is something they really need anyway. Does this mean they also bought the vineyard business?
Now I want to try their wine just to see what it tastes like. Hee hee. Thanks, Randi.
