Harry and Meghan Might Be Moving
Rumors are circulating that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be looking to sell their Montecito mansion in an off-market deal.
Whether the rumors are true or not, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to feature this stunning property.
The Montecito mansion reportedly sold to the famous couple for $14.65M back in 2020 after being originally listed for $34M.
Located in Santa Barbara county, Montecito is one of the most sought-after enclaves in California with a reputation for both the privacy of its community and the high-profile status of many of its residents, including Oprah Winfrey, Gwenyth Paltrow, and Ellen Degeneres.
It's little wonder the couple chose this coastal corner of California (90 miles from LA) to call home when they relocated to the US after stepping down from their royal duties in early 2020.
The luxurious abode is exactly what you would expect of royalty: carved out of hand-cut Santa Barbara stone and covered with climbing ivy, the mansion is nestled in a lush estate with soaring Italian cypress trees, century old olive trees, tiered rose gardens and lavender shrubs.
The residence spans 14,500 square feet with 9 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, an expansive living room with wrap-around bookshelves and a monumental fireplace, and luxury amenities like a home spa, screening room, and a wine cellar.
The estate comes with a swimming pool, tennis court, a private playground and children’s cottage, and a tea house set along the property’s private pond.
