Sandra Bullock’s Real Estate Portfolio: A Timeline of Her Homes and Investments

Sandra Bullock doesn’t mess around when it comes to real estate. The Oscar-winning actor has spent the past few decades building up an enviable portfolio to match her A-list resume. According to Dirt, the Bird Box star currently owns 17 properties located all throughout the continental U.S., a mix of residential and commercial investments that span everything from a Gothic Victorian home in New Orleans to a sprawling hilltop compound in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Bullock is famously private about her personal life; case in point, it’s not publicly known when she purchased the Wyoming estate or really any details about it at all.

While Bullock has called some of these holdings “home,” there are several places that appear to have been investment properties from the get-go. Some details are not readily available to the public, suggesting that Bullock may have purchased them through an LLC or other investment entities. Here, we’ve rounded up what we do know of her extensive real estate portfolio, recognizing that while this list isn’t exhaustive, it is still quite impressive.

1997

Even though Bullock is undeniably Hollywood royalty, she enjoys spending time away from the spotlight. In April 1997, she dropped $575,000 on a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home in Austin overlooking Barton Creek. In a May 1998 story for Texas Monthly, the star said she feels “a lightness” when she’s in Texas. “It’s the kind of place where I can feel normal again,” she explained. Bullock listed the 5,633-square-foot home for $2.5 million in 2012, and it sold for $2 million the following year.

Bullock also bought a 5.81-acre lakefront spread on Lake Austin in 1997, reportedly spending “millions” to custom-build a mansion on the grounds. According to Variety, however, she moved out of the pad just days after moving in “over concerns about mold and shoddy workmanship.” She sued the builder and was ultimately awarded $7.8 million in damages in 2004. Since then, the main house has been razed, but now there are several smaller homes, as well as a two-story boathouse, on the property.

2000

When Bullock makes her way to the East Coast, she has a spacious Soho townhouse that she calls home. According to Realtor.com, the actor paid $3.35 million for the 4,144-square-foot single-family home and appears to still own the property, though she frequents it less and less. The townhouse is likely worth much more now.

2001

In early 2001, Bullock dropped $1.49 million on a three-bed, three-bath Hollywood Hills ranch perched above the Sunset Strip, just a short walking distance to the famed Chateau Marmont. She ultimately sold the hilltop retreat for $2.925 million in 2018, which makes sense given that she was primarily using it as a rental property in the last few years of ownership, leasing out the 3,153-square-foot pad for between $15,000 and $18,500 a month.

Later in 2001, Bullock purchased a massive compound on Georgia’s exclusive Tybee Island that comprised a 3,360-square-foot main house and a 2,800-square-foot guest house. When it came time to sell the property, the Blind Side star opted to offload the two structures separately, selling the guest house for $1.05 million in December 2020 and the main house for $3.125 million one month later.

2005

When Bullock married Jesse James, in 2005, the pair moved into a four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom Sunset Beach home the motorcycle enthusiast had bought for $3.6 million in 2002. Their marriage fell apart five years later, in 2010, at which point Bullock moved out. James sold the 3,600-square-foot beach house for $4.5 million in 2011; it doesn’t appear that Bullock’s name was ever on the deed, though she did call the place home for a while.

2009

Bullock and James went all-in on an 1876 Gothic Victorian mansion in New Orleans in June 2009, paying $2.24 million for the three-story structure. Known as the Koch-Mays House, the Swiss Chalet House, and Freret’s Folly, the 6,615-square-foot pad is resplendent with period details, like intricate ironwork and heavy gilded interiors. There are a total of five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms; Bullock still owns this home.

2011

Following her split from James, Bullock purchased a sprawling $16.19 million Tudor-style mansion in Beverly Hills that she still owns today. Situated on 4.1 acres, the estate features an 8,110-square-foot main house, a screening room, a poolside pavilion, and a detached four-car garage. There are a total of seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

2014

Bullock’s real estate holdings extend to condos too. In February 2014 she purchased a two-bedroom, three-bathroom condo in West Hollywood’s famous Sierra Towers for $3.35 million. Located on the 22nd floor, the unit measures 1,672 square feet, with unparalleled views of the city below. Bullock apparently still owns the unit, though she put it on the rental market in 2017 for $22,000 a month. And fun fact: It previously belonged to Matthew Perry.

2017

The actor was such a fan of her Sierra Towers condo that she decided to purchase another unit in May 2017—this time, a slightly larger 2,101-square-foot home featuring one bedroom and two bathrooms, located on the 20th floor. She paid $5.13 million for it in an off-market deal. It appears that she still owns this unit as well.

2018

In June 2018, Bullock put down $8.5 million for a stunning 3,700-square-foot, four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Malibu overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Originally built in the late 1970s, the abode is a picturesque beachside getaway perched on stilts, with floor-to-ceiling windows and several terraces facing the sea.

2020

Bullock’s second Malibu home is slightly smaller in size, but no less charming. Two years after she purchased her first beach house, she paid $5.3 million for a 1,300-square-foot cottage located in the same gated neighborhood. The mint-green home features two bedrooms and two bathrooms; she listed it as a rental shortly after buying it, though it is unclear if she currently has a tenant living there.

2021

Bullock’s most recent real estate purchase (in March of this year) is located in Beverly Hills, an updated 2,800-square-foot mid-century bungalow that she bought for $2.7 million. The home boasts three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, with open living spaces and sleek ebony-stained hardwood floors throughout.
