They bought the property back in May 2008 for a staggering $35 million.

But it seems as if money is no object when it comes to the perfect property for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Hollywood's golden couple have recently begun extensive renovations on their vast French property, Chateau Miraval, in the hopes of modernizing the fourteenth century masterpiece.

New photos show the house alterations are well underway with almost the entire main house covered in scaffolding and various building materials scattered across the grounds.

Château Miraval is situated in Provence and classified as a Historic Monument.
