Bullock has just listed a 37-hectare (91-acre) compound outside San Diego for US$6 million.

The property, which the actress bought for US$2.75 million in 2009, includes hundreds of olive, avocado and citrus trees, a gorgeous adobe hacienda, a detached guest house, luscious floral gardens and a charming walk-in chicken coop.

The nearly 6,000 sq ft house sits on top of a hill, offering 360-degree views of the serene surrounding landscape. Built in 1990 and completely renovated since, the home has rustic touches but a contemporary aesthetic.
