Let’s talk about Sandra Bullock, shall we? The legendary actress has quietly amassed an incredible real estate portfolio over the years. Now, Sandra is famously private about her personal life, but one thing she doesn’t hide? Her love for owning some seriously stunning properties. From a gothic mansion in New Orleans to a breathtaking waterfront estate in Austin, Texas, and even a hilltop compound in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, this woman knows how to invest in some prime real estate. And just recently, at the ripe old age of 56, she dropped a cool $16.5 million on homes in Malibu and Beverly Hills. Not too shabby, right?
Now, while Austin might have become the hot new spot for Hollywood stars and tech companies lately, Sandra has been smitten with the city for a long time. She first fell in love with Austin while filming the 1998 romantic comedy Hope Floats. Ever since then, it’s been her go-to home away from Hollywood. Back in 1997, Sandra purchased a 5,000-square-foot home located off Lake Austin, which has undoubtedly served as her personal sanctuary over the years. But let me tell you, that’s not the only property she’s got in the area.
Sandra’s not just about buying homes—she’s also been known to flip a few properties over the years. But that’s not all. Back in 2006, she opened a restaurant called Bess Bistro on the bustling Sixth Street in Austin. While the restaurant closed its doors in 2016, Sandra still owns Walton’s Fancy & Staple, a bakery/deli and flower shop across the street from Bess’ location, which she opened in 2009. Talk about diversifying her portfolio!

When Sandra’s in Los Angeles, she doesn’t skimp on luxury. She owns a $16.19 million Tudor-style mansion in Beverly Hills, which she purchased back in 2011. This 4.1-acre estate features an 8,110-square-foot main house with seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Now, if that’s not enough to blow your mind, just wait till you hear about the 270-degree view from her hilltop property. She can gaze from downtown Los Angeles all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Talk about living the dream!
But wait, there’s more! In February 2021, Sandra dropped another $2.7 million on a renovated bungalow in the mountains above Beverly Hills. This property, located within the coveted 90210 zip code, is just 2,800-square-feet with three bedrooms and three and a half baths, but it’s believed to be an investment property. And let’s not forget about the backyard swimming pool with a waterfall and the charming English garden-style front yard trimmed with neat rows of boxwood hedges. Whoever ends up living there will be surrounded by pure beauty. Or maybe Sandra just wanted a little personal getaway in the neighborhood!
