The three‑acre Pacific Palisades compound, a mid‑century ranch designed by Cliff May, has earned a reputation as a coveted landmark in South Los Angeles.
After a $3 million renovation spree, the property now boasts a 9,000‑sq‑ft main house, a guest house, and a separate gym‑yoga‑studio building, all surrounded by manicured lawns, a pool, and a basketball court. The estate also features a chicken coop and a walk‑in refrigerator.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner acquired the home in 2018, following a 2009 purchase by Brian Grazer that had previously housed actor Gregory Peck in the late 1940s.
The listing, handled by Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency, drew attention from Compass agents Aaron Kirman and Dalton Gomez, who closed the deal for an undisclosed buyer. Rappaport told the Los Angeles Times that the property was “in high demand.” Kirman said the sale “underscores the resilience of the high‑end market in Southern California.”
The transaction, completed in August 2022, is expected to trigger a surge in investor interest for comparable Pacific Palisades estates, raising the bar for future luxury real‑estate deals.
