Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are selling their Malibu mansion to get away from the paparazzi and the publicity.
Sassafras, the $60 million - estate that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will move to during Angelina Jolie's filming of Edwin A. Salt in Long Island.
The couple will move to the $60-million, 48-acre waterfront Sassafras estate on Long Island’s Gold Coast with their six children, Zahara, Pax, Maddox, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne. Angelina Jolie would be shooting for her upcoming movie Edwin A. Salt on Long Island, from March 2009.
The tudor-style, two-storey main house is spread over 22,000 square feet. Sassafras has eight bedrooms, a barbershop, laundry, three greenhouses, huge swimming pool, a private beach, a private dock, and two helipads. The house also has a six-bedroom guest house and a staff house with 11 bedrooms.

The taxes on the property are a staggering $195,000, say reports.
A survey by Forbes, conducted in 2006, put Sassafras in the top ten most expensive North American homes.
Apart from their itchy feet syndrome, recently, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been in the news for their 2009 Oscar nominations for Best Actor and Best Actress for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and The Changeling, respectively.
