Talk about a big parcel!
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is famous for his work in such movie franchises as “Fast and the Furious” and “Jumanji.”
But judging from his latest purchase in Virginia, he’s quickly becoming known as a real estate tycoon, too. He also has bought and sold homes in Florida, Georgia, and California, among other places.
Johnson’s latest coup, located next to a farm he already owns outside Charlottesville, is a seven-bedroom mansion with nearly 8,000 square feet of living space. But it’s the outside property that’ll take your breath away.
The estate is more than a century old and is sited on 180 acres of land, which is equipped with world-class equestrian facilities. It also features awesome views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The posh property was on the market for about four months before it was sold in July for the full asking price of $12 million.

Equestrian estate
The residence was completely overhauled and ready to enter a second century of service.
The elegant rooms come with lofty 12- and 14-foot ceilings, oversize windows, and a total of five fireplaces.
A modern kitchen is at the heart of the home and opens to a family room. The bedrooms offer a comfy retreat with their own baths, away from the main living space.
Outside, the landscaping includes gorgeous manicured gardens, pathways, sculptures, and a refreshing pool.
The horse stables are world-class, with 16 stalls. There are also paddocks, sheds, and fields with automated sprinklers to keep the turf and grounds looking their best.
Johnson is as busy as ever, starring in the 2022 movie “Black Adam,” and he’s slated to appear in “Red One,” an action flick that’s coming out in late 2023.
Johnson’s middle daughter is well on her way to becoming an accomplished rider—and the actor himself is also a horse lover—so this new property should suit the family to a T.
