Inside Angelina Jolie's plan to sell her LA mansion and bow out of the Hollywood limelight
Angelina Jolie is reportedly planning to leave Los Angeles for a fresh start away from the Hollywood spotlight.
The 50-year-old Maleficent star is preparing to part with her $24,5-million (R441m) Los Feliz estate, which she bought in 2017.
With breathtaking views, lush gardens and vintage Hollywood charm, the home has been a cherished retreat for Angelina and her children – Maddox (24), Pax (21), Zahara (20), Shiloh (19), and twins Vivienne and Knox (17).
Despite the sentimental value tied to the property, sources reveal she's ready to embrace change.
'Angelina plans to relocate as soon as Knox and Viv turn 18 next year,' an insider revealed.
'She's eyeing several locations abroad, and she'll be very happy when she's able to leave Los Angeles,' they added.
Angie has reportedly always dreamed of living outside the United States, but her plans were put on hold due to her divorce settlement with Brad Pitt, which required her to remain in Los Angeles until all their children were 18 or older.
With the twins turning 18 next July, Angie will finally have the freedom to relocate.
'I'm here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they're 18, I'll be able to leave,' she previously said.
She's reportedly considering spending more time in Cambodia, Maddox's home country.
The actress previously said it's the one place 'in my heart' she considers home.
After her split from Brad in 2016, Angelina Jolie bought the historic estate, partly because of its proximity to his home.
'I wanted it to be close to their dad, who is only five minutes away,' she previously said.
Her Los Angeles estate has a remarkable history.
It was originally built in 1913 and bought by filmmaker Cecil B DeMille in 1916.
Over time he added a neighbouring property, once owned by Charlie Chaplin, which he combined.
The estate is considered one of the most stunning and historic landmarks in the Los Feliz area.
The property spans roughly 1 000 square metres and has six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, landscaped gardens, a teahouse, a pool with fountains, four fireplaces, a wine cellar and other lavish features.
During the pandemic, Angie quarantined there with her brood and earlier this year she provided shelter to friends who'd lost their homes in wildfires.
Now she's doing some minor improvements to the property as she prepares to put it on the market.
