Celebs may go to Montecito, a small town within Santa Barbara, to get away from the hubbub of Los Angeles, but the area is becoming more and more well-known.
It started making headlines all the time when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved there, but it has also been home to Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey, Ellen Degeneres, and even Bella and Gigi Hadid when they were kids. Is it the new 90210? Though it’s two hours away from L.A. by car, perhaps it could be…
The homes there are set against the backdrop of lush greenery and ocean views, with many asking sky-high prices. This newcomer to the market is certainly looking for top-dollar, asking $23.5 million for it’s Mediterranean-style mansion and offering someone the chance to move into the star-studded coastal enclave.
Set upon Cima Linda Lane, the spacious estate blends the indoors with the outdoors as so many Montecito homes do. Redesigned in by the sellers with the help of Lenvik & Minor Architects and built by Giffin & Crane, the home displays meticulous attention to detail and materials. From the outside, a beautiful terracotta roof and stucco exterior bring pure vacation vibes and open to vast interiors characterized by large windows and an airy feel. Stone flooring carries across the main floor, moving seamlessly from the chef’s kitchen to the stunning living areas.
No matter which room you look out of, breathtaking ocean views foster a sense of privacy and awe. There are seven bedrooms in total, while luxe amenities include a home movie theater, multi-level patios, a dreamy outdoor kitchen, pool, and spa. There are also gardens if a buyer wants to live out their With, Love, Meghan Markle-esque dreams.
