Jennifer Aniston's Beverly Hills Home Goes on Sale for $42 Million

Jennifer Aniston is ready to "simplify" her life – and is getting started by quietly putting her Beverly Hills home on sale to the tune of $42 million.
The actress, who just celebrated her 42nd birthday, told PEOPLE recently that despite dedicating more than two years of her life to renovating the Zen-influenced retreat, she feels the need to let go of it.
But window shoppers beware: The home will not be listed officially and only an elite group of realtors will have access to the property, real estate sources tell PEOPLE. The sources confirmed the selling price.
The Just Go with It star bought the home she calls "Ohana" – a reference to the Hawaiian idea of extended family – for $13.5 million in 2006. She and her team tore it apart and spent more than two years renovating it, and she moved in just before her 40th birthday in 2009.
Built on a hillside in 1970 with sweeping views of Los Angeles, Aniston told Architectural Digest the single-level home feels "like a hug" and "vibrates with the love that created it."
So why does she want to move? Her epiphany came, she says, in a moment where she woke up in London and thought, "my life felt really cluttered."
"I couldn't sleep and I sort of had one of those moments where I went, I really need to simplify," PEOPLE's recent cover girl said. "My life needs to be simplified and clear out the clutter. And along with that thought came, 'I should sell my house.' ... I had the realization that this is just too much for me. I'm not this person."
Though Aniston has another smaller home in L.A., she may end up living far, far away from Beverly Hills. "I don't know, I'm looking for little spots in New York City to go back home," she said. "There are all sorts of things that are going to be happening in the near future so I'm excited. I don't know what they are, but that's the fun part."

Jennifer Aniston Plans Birthday Trip with Friends

Would Jennifer Aniston say her new movie Just Go With It, costarring Adam Sandler, reflects her attitude on life right now?
"Absolutely. I would think that it's sort of so innocuous, it's a positive thing," she tells PEOPLE. "It's truly just about having pure fun."
To celebrate turning 42 on Friday, Aniston is planning to go away with a group of friends. On the agenda: "Get up, have breakfast, have a workout, do something great outside," she says. Exercise on vacation? "Yeah, I know, it's annoying," she says, laughing. "But that way you feel great."

Jennifer Aniston Swears: 'I Am Happy!'

What's the biggest misconception out there about Jennifer Aniston?
"That I'm unhappy," the actress tells PEOPLE in this week's cover issue. "I'm really happy. Really!"
Embracing the truths in her life has been key to Aniston's joy even as the rumor mill continues to churn. For starters, she says, she hasn't dated anyone in more than a year and a half, and she isn't adopting a baby – from Mexico or anywhere else, for that matter.
"I think people honestly just want to see me as a mom and married and barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen," the actress says. "And I just want to say, 'Everybody, relax! It's going to happen.' "

Inside Jennifer Aniston's Star-Studded, Pre-Super Bowl Dinner

She may have been in town for the Super Bowl – but Jennifer Aniston pre-gamed with dinner Saturday at one of Dallas's hot restaurants – Al Biernat's.
"It was a zoo in here," Brad Fuller, the restaurant's general manager, tells PEOPLE about the celeb-packed eatery. (In addition to Aniston, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Cameron Diaz, beau Alex Rodriguez, Mario Lopez and more were dining simultaneously.) "People were wanting to get a look once word got out that they were all here."
Aniston was there with her Just Go with It costar Adam Sandler, though they sat at separate tables, and various employees of Sony Pictures.
"She seemed super nice and seemed to be enjoying herself," Fuller says, adding that Aniston had her own private security team dining with her. "They were mixing it up and having a lot of fun."
