The estate is home to a 75 acre organic vineyard. The location has been described as remote and private. Security guards are on duty at the gates to the property.

Other celebrities who own property in the area include Bono from U2 fame and actor Johnny Depp.

The fields and forests of the Miraval Estates are prime hunting grounds for boar hunters, who claim that hunting keeps the boar population down and prevents them from trampling the vineyard

Jolie and Pitt are an environmentally conscious couple. Because of this fact, the hunters are seeking an agreement with the estate owner Tom Bove to ensure the hunting continues.Daily India: Boar hunters want pact with Brangelina(June 2, 2008)
