The sprawling equestrian estate has an eight-bedroom
mansion and a 150-year-old caretaker’s cottage
The Rock has rolled to the Georgia countryside.
An entity tied to actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has
snapped up a historic 46-acre estate outside of Atlanta.
A Georgia-based company linked to Mr. Johnson’s business
managers in Los Angeles purchased the equestrian home in the bucolic small town
of Powder Springs for roughly $9.5 million, according to public property
records. Mr. Johnson, 47, a former professional wrestler who has since built a
career as an actor and producer, could not be reached for comment.
At the center of the sprawling, multi-parcel property is
a 14,000-square-foot megamansion with eight bedrooms—plenty of space for Mr.
Johnson’s family of five.
The main house was built in 2002 and features stone
fireplaces, a custom wine cellar and a backyard with a freeform, salt-water
pool and cabana, according to the listing with agent Jeff DeJarnett of Harry
Norman Realtors. Mr. DeJarnett declined to comment on the sale.
The elegant home draws on French country inspiration,
including partial brick and stone cladding on the exterior, large casement
windows and rustic interiors with exposed wood and stone throughout, images
show. Amenities also include a cozy, wood-paneled library with stained glass.
The Johnsons also get a fully outfitted horse farm with
a 12-stall barn and riding arena with a viewing deck. Among its oldest charms
is an original 150-year-old farm house, which now serves as a caretaker’s
cottage, according to the listing.
The sale comes a few months after the “Fast and the
Furious” star married his longtime girlfriend, Lauren Hashian, in Hawaii.
The deal also comes on the heels of an announcement in
September that Mr. Johnson and Dany Garcia, his business partner and ex-wife,
plan to host an inaugural fitness conference, called Atheticon, in Atlanta in
October 2020.
