See Pictures of Sandra Bullock's Georgia Estate
“Speed” and “Gravity” star Sandra Bullock is looking to part ways with her fully-furnished Caribbean plantation-style home after 18 years of ownership (and thousands upon thousands of dollars in rental income) for $6.1 million. Located about 20 minutes away from Savannah on Tybee Island in Georgia, Bullock’s three-acre estate has an incredible backyard, a gorgeous pool, a huge guest house and more porches than you can shake a mint julep on. Want to see inside?
The Foyer
The property is a rather new (for the South) 1993 build, Records indicate Bullock bought the property in 2001 for $1.495 million. It has two grand houses: the 3,360-square-foot main house and a 2,848-square-foot guest house, bringing the estate’s total square footage to 6,208 square feet. There are seven bedrooms and five full bathrooms between the two houses.
The Living Room
The big draw for Bullock’s main home is its enormous, two-story living room.

The living room — like the rest of the house — has been expertly decorated. And the price tag comes with just about everything you see. According to the listing, “both houses come fully furnished with the exception of a few personal items in the main house.”

The white clapboard walls and wood features, like the cathedral exposed wood ceiling, give the home a bright and beachy look. Which is fitting, because the beach is a short walk away.

The 55-year-old movie star first put this estate on sale in March 2019 for $6.5 million, but dropped the price to $6.1 million six months later.
The Dining Room
The dining room features a stone-topped, drop-leaf dining table and rustic accents.

An electric candle chandelier and recessed lighting brighten up the room when the sun sets on the beach.
The Dining Room, Continued
The dining room is open to both the living room and the kitchen, where it is only partially blocked off by a kitchen bar window.
The Kitchen
The bar window has some built-in shelving on its inside walls for cookbooks and kitchen knickknacks, as well as display boxes up top for some nifty showcase pieces, like that vintage bucket.
The Kitchen, Continued
The hardwood flooring stretches into the kitchen, which features stainless steel Sub-Zero and Viking appliances, a butler’s pantry and a farmhouse sink.
The Kitchen, Continued
The kitchen keeps the same white, clean features of the dining and living room with the white subway tile backsplash.

Also in the kitchen is a plantation-style ceiling fan, which will come in quite useful for those sweltering Georgia months.

But a ceiling fan won’t keep the wine cool — that’s the wine cooler’s job.
The Master Bedroom
Upstairs is the master bedroom, which is, unsurprisingly, perfectly decorated.

The master bedroom features this awesome sitting room with an in-room soaking tub right near two picture windows with Bahama shutters.

This looks like the perfect place to curl up with a book and feel the ocean breeze.
The Master Bedroom's Porch
The master bedroom also features a private screened-in porch.
The Master Bathroom
The master bathroom features two pedestal sinks with mirrors and a spacious shower.
The Guest Bedrooms
The main house has three guest bedrooms in addition to the master suite.

While Bullock has owned the home for 18 years, at some point she turned the home into a $1,675 per night rental property.
The Guest Bedrooms, Continued
Outfitted as it is now, the house can comfortably sleep seven people.
The Pajama Lounge
One of the additional rooms has been converted into a cozy upstairs living room, otherwise known as a pajama lounge.
The Exercise Room
Downstairs, Bullock’s property features an exercise area with wall-length mirrors.
The Game Room
Off of the exercise room is a game room with ping pong and air hockey tables, along with croquet equipment and horseshoes for outside games.
The Porch
Outside, off the dining room, is the home’s expansive main porch.
The Backyard
The house is elevated, giving it striking views of the incredible backyard.
The Backyard, Continued
The two-story house overlooks 2.77 acres of property. You can see the Atlantic Ocean from the upstairs porch, but you don’t have to go there for a swim. There’s a gorgeous pool, too.
The Pool
The in-ground pool has an old-fashioned elegance.
The Pool, Continued
The property is entirely fenced in so you can sunbathe in privacy.
The Grounds
There are numerous places to sit and sunbathe on the grounds, like this little area hidden inside a reed-lined clearing.
A View From the Top
Pictured to the left is the 2,848-square-foot guest house. Let’s take a look.
The Guest House
It’s a bit unfair to call it a guest house — this contemporary home and its parcels could easily be sold as another property. And it is. If you don’t want the main house, Sotheby’s has the guest house listing up for sale at $1.399 million.
The Guest House Porch
Like the main house, the home is elevated.
The Guest House Foyer
Bullock’s clean, white style with wood accents continues into the guest house.
The Guest House Kitchen
The main floor makes good use of its open floorplan. The kitchen is spacious.

The two-tiered kitchen island doubles as bar seating on the opposite side and features an electric stovetop.

The guest house kitchen is just one of many in Bullock’s plethora of properties. The “Birdbox” star also owns a house a $16 million manse in Beverly Hills, a Victorian house in the Garden District of New Orleans, an apartment in New York City, a ski house in Wyoming and several homes in Austin, Texas, according to Variety.
The Guest House Breakfast Nook
It’s easy to own so many properties when you’re one of the highest-paid actresses of all time. In 2014, Bullock took in an estimated $70 million for “Gravity,” where she was paid $20 million against 15 percent of the film’s first-dollar grosses. That movie made $723 million worldwide.
The Guest House Living Room
Throughout her illustrious Hollywood career, Bullock filmed two movies that took place in Georgia: “The Blind Side” and “Forces of Nature.” “The Blind Side” was set in Memphis, Tennessee, but filmed in Atlanta, while the end of “Forces of Nature” was filmed in Savannah.
The Guest House Master Bedroom
The guest house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The master bathroom features a huge built-in soaking tub with vanities on both sides.

A ceiling fan hangs from the cathedral ceiling above the tub.
The Guest House Bedrooms
It’s not entirely clear in which city Bullock spends most of her time, but wherever it is, she’s taking care of her kids. She adopted a child in 2010 from New Orleans, and in 2015 she adopted a three-year old.

For those looking for the next Sandra Bullock movie, she’s not returning to the big screen just yet. Following the success of “Birdbox,” she’s taking on another Netflix film. This one is called “Unforgiven,” and Bullock will star as an ex-con re-entering society.
The Guest House Bathroom
This bathroom features another large soaking tub.
The Guest House Upper Porch
Like the main house, there’s an upper porch with views of the ocean.

Downstairs, there is a lounging area that can double as a game room.

The backyard features three square patios and a pergola. A trio of glass doors can open to the inside, making indoor/outdoor parties a breeze.
The Grounds
The properties have private walkway access to the beach…
