Angelina Jolie is an Oscar-winning actress who has become popular by taking on the title role in the "Lara Croft" series of blockbuster movies. Off-screen, Jolie has become prominently involved in international charity projects, especially those involving refugees. She often appears on many "most beautiful women" lists, and she has a personal life that is avidly covered by the tabloid press.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been together since 2005 after meeting on the set of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" while Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston. Since the beginning, the relationship has appeared caused a media frenzy. Amidst the various donations the Jolie-Pitt Foundation has made to third world countries, rumors (good and bad) have plagued Hollywood's most powerful couple.
It�s already know the fact that Angelina wants to give birth in France. But we weren�t expecting that the Jolie-Pitt family had plans to actually move to France.
But things aren�t as we expect them to be so the famous couple has bought a $70 million chateau in south of France. Yes! A chateau, not a house.
The pre-Roman estate sits on nearly 1,000 acres in the South of France and is called Chateau Miraval. Let�s just say it ain�t shabby. It has 35 bedrooms and boasts a vineyard, lake, moat, forest, and 20 fountains. There are both indoor and outdoor pools, his-and-hers gyms, and an enormous banquet hall. The driveway alone is three miles long.
The stone walled terraced farmland have been replanted with 13 different varieties of olives. A stream that runs through the estate passes through hidden tunnels, flows into the moat and fills the lake. Water is plentiful - there are 20 fountains.
Chateau Miraval is located in a tiny village called Brignol in the Var. A source close to the deal told Britain�s Daily Mail:
The stone walled terraced farmland have been replanted with 13 different varieties of olives. A stream that runs through the estate passes through hidden tunnels, flows into the moat and fills the lake. Water is plentiful - there are 20 fountains.
There�s a lake and a swimming pool and fountains and fields with ponies, and it�s surrounded by a huge forest, so no one will be able to take pictures of them or the kids. They�re both thrilled, as they�ve been hunting for a place on the Riviera for over a year.
�Last year, Brad and Angelina took a helicopter along the Riviera, and they were literally landing in people�s gardens of houses that they liked and were running in to ask if their properties were for sale,� said the source. �They found this one the same way a few weeks ago.�
