Josh Brolin’s Storybook Georgia Estate with Interiors by Pierce & Ward is For Sale
Tucked behind gates in the leafy enclave of Sandy Springs, just north of bustling Atlanta, stands a beautiful residence, recently listed for sale by American actor Josh Brolin (Avengers, No Country for Old Men, Dune) and his wife Kathryn.
Purchased in 2020, Josh and his wife enlisted the help of AD100 interior design studio Pierce and Ward, known for layered interiors that blend textiles and vintage furnishings, creating a home where old-world romance is paired with influences from Brolin’s travels.
Set on approximately 1,5 acres, the estate unfolds as a secluded sanctuary designed for family life and entertaining. During Brolin’s ownership, the house became a stylish refuge for creatives working in Atlanta’s film industry.
A gated entrance and driveway framed by mature greenery lead you to the entrance of the home. The traditional architecture (even though the house was built in 2003) establishes a sense of classic refinement.
The front door opens into a dramatic foyer with striped wallpaper and wide, arched doorways leading to the ground-floor living spaces.
Every room carries a sense of narrative. Rich textures, vintage-inspired details, and globally influenced furnishings create interiors that feel deeply personal rather than overly polished.
The home reflects fragments of different places and experiences, combining European warmth, East Coast sophistication, and Southern comfort into a seamless visual story.
The first room on the left is a cozy library room with dusty pink paneled walls and built-in bookshelves flanking the fireplace.
On the other side of the hall, a spacious dining room featuring a huge rug and wall tapestry forms the perfect space to host long dinner parties.
Moving toward the back of the house, you enter the heart of the home: a grand open-plan living room and kitchen with wooden ceiling beams, large windows, and high ceilings.
The chef’s kitchen features a large center island with an integrated seating area.
The L-shaped island with bar seating becomes the natural gathering point during social gatherings.
The kitchen area is completed with a small seating space under the large, arched window and a more informal dining area.
On the other side of this open-plan space, you’ll find the two-story seating area with soaring ceilings and a statement fireplace, adding warmth and grandeur.
Despite the grand proportions, the room feels cozy and inviting thanks to the layered textiles and art lining the walls.
The guest toilet is decorated with the Yangtze River toile wallpaper by Schumacher.
Occupying its own wing on the main level, the primary suite functions as a personal sanctuary removed from the rest of the home.
Vaulted ceilings enhance the airy scale of the room, while a private sitting area with its own fireplace creates a cozy space within the suite.
The suite’s spa-inspired bathroom is equally dramatic, featuring dual boutique-style walk-in closets, a soaking tub positioned beneath a stained-glass window, and a spacious separate shower.
The first floor continues the home’s layered, storybook aesthetic with three oversized bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom.
One of the bedrooms features a unique way of using wallpaper. The walls are painted in a warm pink shade, broken up with green wallpaper.
The first-floor bedrooms are connected with a cozy seating area featuring ‘The River’ wallpaper by C.F.A. Voysey.
The screened-in rotunda just off the kitchen is one of the estate’s most charming spaces. Complete with a fireplace and a grilling area, the circular retreat feels like a hidden garden pavilion.
Outside, the estate unfolds into a private resort environment surrounded by towering trees and lush landscaping.
The heated gunite pool serves as the centerpiece of the grounds, complete with a spa, cascading waterfalls, and a custom jumping rock that adds a playful, natural element to the design
One of the estate’s standout features is the detached two-story guest house, designed as an independent retreat with multiple living spaces.
The main-level apartment includes a full kitchen, dining room, living area, laundry room, walk-in closet, and a spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower.
A vaulted bedroom opens to its own covered porch, creating a serene hideaway for long-term guests.
The bathroom is decorated with the Oakham Linen wallpaper by Colefax & Fowler.
Above, a second self-contained unit includes another kitchen and full bathroom, allowing the structure to comfortably accommodate additional visitors, extended family, or staff.
The house is listed for $4,999,000 at Studio Housing Atlanta.
