When you think of celebrity homes, a farmhouse is likely the last thing on your mind. But for Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, this was their dream home, and they were going to make it happen.
As Ashton Kutcher told Architectural Digest, "We wanted the house to look like an old barn, something that had been here for decades, that was then converted into a house. But it also had to feel modern and relevant." And they certainly got that.
The farmhouse sits on a 6-acre property and includes the main house, a guesthouse/entertainment barn, and a barbecue pavilion near the pool.
Choosing the Architect and Interior Designer

The design process and execution of Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher's house took five years, with both actors contributing to the process.
The couple assembled individual Pinterest boards with their preferred designs. And at the end of the process, it was amazing to find that 90% of their images were similar.
In fact, they discovered that most of the houses they had pinned were designed by architect Howard Baker of Backen & Gillam Architects. Therefore, naturally, they decided to go with him as the architect for their home.
Howard Baker is renowned for his ability to create beauty from rustic materials. And as Kutcher states to Architectural Digest, "Howard is like a great software designer, someone who approaches design as an accentuation of function.
"A software designer wants to get people where they want to be with the fewest clicks. Howard wants to get you where you want to be with the fewest doors and obstacles. He also knows that there are certain places where you want a barrier to mark a threshold and create a little friction."
Well, they certainly choose the right man for the job.
The couple went with Vicky Charles of Charles & Co for interior design. They loved her whole aesthetic, especially her ability to mix fabrics, patterns, and textures. Mila Kunis would go-ahead to spend months with Vicky looking at colors and materials for this passion project.

The rugged materials and soaring ceilings make this home look like an old barn, which is part of the aesthetic. In addition, the palette of raw materials gives Ashton Kutcher's house an industrial charm.
Interior Design
As expected, Charles did a great job with the interior design. From the images above, you can see the crispy tailored tables and plush seating that feels like you'd be seating on air. Imagine how comfortable relaxing on those seats by the fire would be. Total heaven.
In addition to the seats and the tables, Charles incorporated some stuff from Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis' previous houses. These included an extravagant 10-foot-long crystal chandelier and a set of custom silver throne chairs.
The crystal chandelier was especially important to Kutcher as he had commissioned it on a trip to India. Naturally, therefore, Charles had to include this formidable piece into the architecture's humble forms. And she did a great job.

Photovoltaics and Regenerative Agriculture

Other notable aspects of Ashton Kutcher's house are the use of photovoltaics to power the home and the regenerative agriculture that they practice.
Photovoltaics is a type of technology that converts light into electricity. This innovative technology uses semiconducting materials such as Silicon to get the job done.
For their luxury barn, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are able to produce more than enough energy for their home by using solar arrays installed on the property.
In addition to their sustainable production of energy, the power couple also practices regenerative farming. Regenerative agriculture is an upcoming and alternative means of producing food with lower impacts on the environment than traditional agriculture.
This means that their outdoor space functions both as an entertainment spot and a garden for their food.
Now that we're done looking at Ashton Kutcher's sustainable luxury home in Beverly Hills, let's look at some other homes he's owned in the past.
