Josh Brolin selling $5 million Atlanta home as acting jobs go elsewhere

Oscar-nominated actor Josh Brolin has placed his Atlanta home for sale for just under $5 million.

He and his wife, Kathryn, who has family in the area, purchased the home in 2020 for $3.25 million and had the interior redone by acclaimed interior design firm Pierce & Ward, which has also renovated homes for A-list actors like Dakota Johnson, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Hudson.

The gated home, built in 2003 with seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms on a 1.5-acre lot, is located in Sandy Springs, two miles north of Synovus Bank Amphitheater at Chastain Park.

The listing describes Brolin’s home as “a masterfully curated estate where architectural artistry meets absolute privacy.”

Brolin, in a statement sent exclusively to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, said, “We would not sell this property if my work didn’t take us west. We envy anybody who gets to take advantage of this little piece of everywhere that fed us so well while we were there.”

Since playing Thanos in two “Avengers” movies in Atlanta in 2017 and 2018, the veteran actor has only shot one film in the area: “Weapons” in 2024, which grossed more than $239 million worldwide at the box office.

Brolin’s Atlanta Realtor, Jacob Bean, said Brolin spends most of his time when not working at his primary home in Montecito, California. He purchased that residence for $7.1 million in 2024 near Santa Barbara, where he lived as a teenager. (He also owns a home in Malibu.)

For the past two years, Brolin has rented out his Atlanta home, though he and his family stayed there last Christmas, Bean said.

Bean said a family who lost their home to a fire stayed at the Brolin residence for a period of time, and an unnamed actor rented the house for the first three months of this year while shooting a movie.

“It has whimsical charm,” Bean said. “It has an old English cottage feel to it.”

Bean said the Brolins built out a professional-grade gym with a custom sauna and cold plunge downstairs. The property also features a detached, two-story guest house with two independent living spaces.

Any sale will include most of the existing furniture.

Brolin said the renovation was able to “turn its insides into pieces of all the places we’ve traveled to: a little Atlanta there, a little Paris there, a little Ireland and New York and maybe even the countryside of Pennsylvania.”

He touted the “rock pool with its cascading waterfall and stone protruding dive board. Everything about it had to feel personal.”

Brolin, 58, has been married to photographer and director Kathryn Boyd Brolin, 38, since 2016. They have two children together.

His busy acting schedule has sent him all over the world in recent years.
