Eager parents Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have just paid a cool $60 million on a extensive 1,000-acre estate in the south of France. With 35 bedrooms, plus a vineyard, lake, forest and moat, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and the long awaited twins are going to be playing house in high style.
"It's called Chateau Miraval in a village called Brignol, which is near from Aix-en-Provence," a source told reporters. "And it's absolutely unbelievable.
"Brad and Angelina are delighted, they love the place and have already been furniture shopping to fill the place - and it is enormous," the insider added. "They've already spent another million on furniture and the whole family can't wait to move in."
The pre-Roman estate also has a swimming pool, billiards room, indoor pool, his-and-hers gyms, sauna and Jacuzzi and a huge banquet hall.
Splendid cascading stone-walled terraces have been replanted with 13 different varieties of olives, and water is everywhere on the sprawling estate-20 fountains, aqueducts and a stream that runs through hidden tunnels, passes through the moat and fills the lake.
The Jolie-Pitts hope to be completely moved in within the next three months, if not sooner. For the past year, Brad and Angelina had been house-hunting in the area, where residents include Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis and U2 front man Bono.
Since arriving in France at the end of April, Pitt, Jolie and the kids have been shacking up at Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen's villa in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Jolie befriended the tech titan while filming Dreamworks' Shark Tale in 2004.
