Dave Keuning has officially offloaded his Los Angeles residence in the Outpost Estates enclave of Hollywood Hills to Oscar-winning actor, producer, and architecture enthusiast Brad Pitt for $12 million, as first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
That’s a lot less than Keuning originally wanted, but it’s still $2.4 million more than the $9.6 million the seven-time Grammy-nominated co-founder and lead guitarist of The Killers paid Grindr app founder Joel Simkhai for the modern Spanish villa high above the Sunset Strip four years ago.
The veteran rock star and his interior designer wife, Emilie Keuning, subsequently gave the place a full makeover, and, after hitting the market in June with a nearly $14 million ask, the house quickly sold to Pitt at a substantial discount. David Parnes, Sam Collins, and James Harris of Carolwood Estates held the listing, with Pitt repped by Carolwood’s Marci Kays and Jonathan Mogharrabi.
The two-story Spanish villa has six bedroom and eight baths in 8,385 square feet.

Behind gates on a lofty perch spanning just over a third of an acre, the white stucco and terracotta-roof structure offers picturesque views stretching from Downtown L.A. to the Santa Monica Bay. Originally built in the late 1980s, it features six bedrooms and eight baths in roughly 8,300 square feet.
Upon entry, a soaring wood-beam foyer flows to a living area sporting a stone fireplace and steel-framed French doors spilling out to the backyard. From there, another living area is topped with an embossed tin ceiling and a fanciful light fixture, while an office is lined with built-in bookcases. A dining room and a fireside sitting area connect to the sleek eat-in kitchen, which is outfitted with ebony-hued cabinetry and Wolf and Miele appliances.
The creature comforts continue upstairs, where a sumptuous primary suite flaunts a Murano glass chandelier, a fireplace, a wraparound balcony, and a marble-clad bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glassy shower. There’s a vaulted movie theater fit for a movie star, while the garden-laced grounds host a freeform pool and spillover spa bordered by a barbecue station and a fire pit lounge, dual garages, and a detached hillside studio with a recording space.
This isn’t Pitt’s first real estate foray into the Hollywood Hills. In early 2023, he sold a $33 million compound in Los Feliz to Aileen Getty and then turned around and paid the oil heiress $5.5 million for her midcentury modern pavilion, also in Los Feliz and known as the Steel House.
More recently, the F1 The Movie and Ocean’s Eleven star doled out $40 million for the landmark D.L. James house in California’s Carmel Highlands, which has reportedly become his main residence. His extensive property portfolio also includes a 50 percent stake in Château Miraval, a 1,200-acre estate and winery in France that he once shared with his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie.
