Aniston is the owner of the 3.4-acre lot in Bel-Air, according to property records.
The 56-year-old “Morning Show” actor purchased the midcentury mansion for just under $21 million in 2012, according to reporting by Architectural Digest. The property, built in 1965, was designed by prestigious architect A. Quincy Jones and renovated by architect Frederick Fisher shortly before Aniston bought it.
Set on a promontory, the parcel has unobstructed ocean and city views, The Times reported in 2012. When Aniston bought it the grounds included a guesthouse, swimming pool and vineyards.
In 2015, Aniston married actor Justin Theroux in an intimate ceremony at the home. The couple lived in the property together before divorcing in 2018, according to Architectural Digest.
