Brad Pittis officially saying farewell to his Los Angeles home.

Pitt first called the space home after buying the original mansion fromElvira, Mistress of the Darkstar Cassandra Peterson in 1994 for a reported $1.7 million. Since then, the Academy Award winner has purchased multiple lots adjacent to the original home and filled them with a swimming pool, tennis court and skating rink.

According to the source, Pitt decided to sell the 1.9-acre property because he’s “looking for something smaller” in the L.A. area.

The sprawling property sits on 1,200 acres along an ancient Roman road in Correns, France, and contains multiple structures from the 17th century. It served as a family retreat for the former couple and their kids, as well as hosting their wedding in 2014. Although they didn’t officially purchase the home until 2012 (for an estimated$60 million), the couple signed a long-term lease on the property in 2008.
