Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has scaled up in a big way. The pro wrestler turned actor recently paid $9.5 million for a sprawling 46-acre ranch in the small town of Powder Springs, Georgia, just outside Atlanta. The estate, which was once a horse farm, includes several different structures on the property, including a 14,791-square-foot main house, a full 12-stall barn with attached riding arena, a 150-year-old farmhouse (now used as a caretaker’s cottage), and a huge saltwater pool with its own pool house. The main house features eight bedrooms, which should be ample space for Johnson’s family: wife Lauren Hashian and their three children.
According to Mansion Global, the home was built in 2002 in a French country manor style, and boasts over-the-top details and luxurious building materials, including walnut hardwood floors throughout, exposed-wood ceiling beams, large casement windows, and marble bathrooms.
The living room in particular is a cavernous gathering space, with a stunning chandelier hanging over the center of the room, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and double-height ceilings. The nearby kitchen features rustic wood cabinets, marble countertops, a center island, and high-end appliances. Another room of note in the home is the library, which contains floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves, stained glass windows, and a fireplace.
The master suite is equally impressive, with large French windows flooding the room with plenty of natural light, and a master bathroom with its own fireplace in addition to a deep soaking tub. A custom wine cellar rounds out the home’s many offerings; out back, the saltwater pool is freeform, with a cabana and adjacent poolside that are ideal for lounging and entertaining.
In addition to the Georgia equestrian estate, Johnson also owns a Mediterranean-style Florida mansion. He bought the property from former Miami Dolphins football player Vernon Carey for $3.4 million in 2012. It spans 13,153 square feet and features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, with not one but two three-car garages, a 14-seat home theater, and a resort-style pool. Around the same time he bought the Miami home, he sold his estate in Hidden Hills, California, for a substantial $4.9 million.
