Hollywood couple Ashton Kutcher and his wife Mila Kunis surely know how to make a farmhouse look grand. The pair might own the biggest, most stunning barn in Hollywood's history.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2015, reportedly worked for five years to set up their Los Angeles home, built on the hilltop of a six-acre property. With the help of architect Howard Backen and interior designer Vicky Charles, the couple built their home from the ground up. Here is a look at the power duo's magnificent property.

Kutcher and Kunis' Desire for a Home Where They Could Raise Their Kids

Since moving into their barn-styled house, the A-list couple has shared many igniting details about the building. Kunis once revealed that she and her husband wanted a home, not an estate. Speaking on what she and Kutcher had pictured before setting up the building, she said:

"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."

Before the Los Angeles project began, Kunis and her movie star husband had individual Pinterest boards to help mark out what they wanted to see in their home. In the end, their tastes turned out almost the same.

They hired architect Backen to construct their perfect farm home after discovering he had designed most of the homes they marked out. Meanwhile, the A-list stars are thankful for their shared interests, as Kunis once pointed out:

"Building a house from the ground up is no small thing. This was either going to make us or break us."

However, Kunis and the "No Strings Attached" actor didn't build a home to soothe their interest alone. They wanted to make something fitting for their kids. Kunis was pregnant with the couple's first child when construction began, and despite the luxe accents, the home was designed to be completely family-friendly.

The "Ted" actor revealed that he willingly accepted a reduction in pay to relocate the production closer to his home and family.

For Kunis and Kutcher, their home was a place of tranquility. Kutcher spoke about the Los Angeles building and expressed, "If the world around you isn't in order, it's hard to get your brain in order. When we're in our home, the world just makes sense."

The couple are very private about their family life and never post photos of their two children online. However, they often take their daughter, Wyatt Isabelle, and son, Dimitri Portwood, to public events. Both parents love doting on their children and discussing the joys of parenthood in their interviews.

While attending the premiere of his Netflix movie, "Your Place or Mine," Kutcher said his kids are his top priority. "For me, the No. 1 role I will ever play is to be a father. It's the most important role in my life," he once admitted. The "Ted" actor revealed that he willingly accepted a reduction in pay to relocate the production closer to his home and family.

Whether serving as his son's Cub Scouts den leader or contributing to inspiring both children with his fitness goals, the actor acknowledges the impact his decisions have on their future. Additionally, he expressed, "I have no hubris about the notion that I have any control over what they choose to do. I just hope that I can make them really good decision-makers."

Kunis and Kutcher engage in meaningful discussions with their children about their heritage. In an interview in March 2022, the "Friends with Benefits" actress mentioned what she and Kutcher conveyed to their children, "It seemed like overnight we both turned to our kids and were like, 'You are half Ukrainian, half American.' It instantly became a thing, and they're like, 'Yeah, I get it, mom.'"

She said, "But it is ultimately incredibly important to know where you came from. It's beautiful, it's amazing to have multiple cultures. It's a beautiful thing to have out there. We shouldn't all be alike. We shouldn't all think alike. That's not the importance of community and growth."

Kutcher and Kunis' Relationship Timeline

Kutcher met the woman who would later become his wife and mother of his two children on the set of "That 70s Show," which aired from 1998 to 2006. The pair starred as onscreen lovers Jackie and Michael.

While playing Jackie and Michael, the two shared a kiss, and Kutcher later revealed in an interview that it was Kunis' first time kissing a man. When Kutcher left the show, he remained in touch with Kunis, who admitted she had a crush on the actor during a 2001 interview.

Speaking on her and the actor's relationship in 2016, the actress said they checked up on each other constantly, but that was all it was. Kutcher later married fellow movie star Demi Moore, and Kunis dated her then-boyfriend, "Home Alone" star Macaulay Culkin.

However, Kutcher and Kunis became single in the same year. Kutcher announced the news of his failed marriage on social media, and Kunis called it quits with her boyfriend.

Although Kunis and Kutcher appear to have one of the most beautiful romances, the couple's relationship faced some controversies following the release of his ex-wife, Moore's memoir "Inside Out."

When Moore and Kutcher called things off following a six-year nuptial, Moore was said to be devastated, and Kutcher was terrified she would write about their marital issues in her memoir.

According to a source, the "Job" actor's ex-wife started her book project while they were together, and it was meant to focus on her tumultuous childhood and its effect on her career. But with her divorce, which led to a frenzy of publicity and Kutcher's alleged cheating, there were some changes.

How Moore's Memoir Affected the A-List Couple

According to Moore's memoir, she and Kutcher had a tumultuous marriage. They split in 2011 and finalized their divorce two years later, in 2013. In "Inside Out," the actress wrote about having two threesomes with Kutcher that left her ashamed.

She revealed Kutcher had a fantasy about having a threesome, and she only respected his feelings because she "put him first." According to "Inside Out," Moore didn't mind going through with it because she wanted to show Kutcher "how great and fun" she could be.

But the movie star described the experience as a mistake. Moore's memoir also revealed other troubling details like her alcohol problems and miscarriage at 42.

Moore's revelation raised many controversies, and fans couldn't help but wonder how "Inside Out" affected Kutcher and his wife. However, in an interview, the "Ghost" actress said she had no intention of making anyone uncomfortable.

While many may think Moore's revelation would affect Kutcher's marriage, a source said his wife Kunis was unbothered by the new information coming to light. On the contrary, the source said Kunis was "very supportive, and understanding," and the reports were from a completely different time in Kutcher's life.

The Couple's Life in a Barn-Themed Home

Kutcher and Kunis have indeed had some difficult moments in their beautiful romance. It could have been why building a home as friendly and welcoming as their Los Angeles barn-styled house was essential to the couple.
