Back in fall 2019, Russell Brand plunked down $3 million and change for a hacienda-style hideaway in Los Angeles. Now the British comedian and actor who appeared in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek has decided to offload his secluded property after nearly five years of ownership, with the price tag set at $3.5 million.
Hidden away behind a gated driveway, amid a half-acre parcel of land nestled within the celeb-studded Outpost Estates neighborhood of Hollywood Hills, the creamy stucco and terracotta-roof structure was originally built back in the 1950s. Since renovated, the three-bedroom, five-bath home offers 3,500 square feet of two-level living space boasting hardwood floors, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, picture windows, and skylights throughout.
Though images aren’t available, the listing shows a tiled entry foyer that flows to a light-filled living room displaying a wood-burning fireplace tucked into the corner and two sets of pocketing glass doors opening to a covered al fresco dining terrace. An adjacent dining area connects to the “charming” eat-in kitchen, which is outfitted with wood cabinetry and a patterned tile backsplash.

Upstairs, the primary suite has a fireplace, a private balcony, and an updated bath with dual vanities, a built-in spa tub, and a shower; and the fully fenced grounds host a swimming pool, an outdoor shower, several seating areas, meandering pathways, and a meditation hut. There’s also a detached carport flanked by a motorcourt, plus a separate kitchenette-equipped guest unit that rests alongside a fountain-clad courtyard.
Brand, who was recently baptized amid rape and sexual assault claims made by multiple women, has owned other homes in the Hollywood Hills through the years. During his short marriage to Katy Perry, the couple paid $6.5 million for a Mediterranean-style compound that they never even moved into before selling it at a million-dollar loss to Las Vegas-based businessman Lorenzo Doumani. Brand also once owned the former castle-like home of Laurence Olivier, which he sold some years ago.
It’s no secret that Outpost Estates has long been a favored residential enclave for celebrities. Besides Brand, homeowners have included Orlando Bloom, whose former black-painted mansion is currently on the market for $5 million, as well as Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy, Bob Barker, Winona Ryder, Shaun White, and Charlize Theron.
