See Inside Cameron Diaz And Benji Madden’s Lavish Montecito Mansion
Nestled in the star-studded hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this stunning estate in Montecito, California was recently purchased by celebrity couple Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden for $12.67 million. The home boasts six ensuite bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, three half-baths, a chef-worthy kitchen and two living rooms.
Cameron, who retired from acting in 2018, and Benji, lead guitarist of the pop-punk band Good Charlotte, will add the recently remodeled Mediterranean-style mansion to their current four-home portfolio. With ocean views like this, who could blame them?
Scroll down for the full tour of this grand estate!
Situated on a sprawling 1.75-acre property, the 11,000-square-foot house sits atop a sloped lot to maximize the ocean-viewing experience. A stately gate surrounds the property, while fully landscaped grounds with seasonal plants and mature trees work double duty to provide a sense of serenity and privacy.
An elegant stone-floored foyer gets flooded with natural light from the cupola above, and a showstopping chandelier hangs from the double-height ceiling.
Mirrored living rooms offer ample space for the celebrity couple to entertain. Ornate fireplaces in each room create distinct focal points.
In the kitchen, blue cabinetry and rattan-backed chairs create a California feel. A long streaky stone island offers plenty of counter space for food and prep. Meanwhile, an elegant range hood and chandelier-style pendants bring a traditional element to the contemporary space.
Just past the kitchen is a dining area, where windows frame the outdoors like a painting.
A monochromatic green-hued study features a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and a walkout terrace.
A dark and moody movie theatre is only fitting for the retired actress. Black walls keep the attention upfront!
In the principal bedroom, large windows and arched terrace doors bathe the room in natural light. A fireplace offers a place to warm up on those chillier nights.
One of property highlights are the many spots to take in the view of the gorgeous seaside town.
A set of curved staircases lead into a lower terrace, where a pool and hot tub are situated centre stage in the oasis-like backyard. A poolside cabana, lounge areas and lush greenery surround the remaining outdoor space.
A stone-balustraded terrace offers majestic sunset views and exudes opulence.
