Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz and musician Benji Madden have quietly expanded their real estate portfolio, snapping up a sprawling estate in Montecito, California, for $12.67 million, according to property records.
The purchase closed in mid-May through a trust connected to the celebrity couple, PropertyShark records show. The six-bedroom residence spans nearly 11,000 square feet and is located within Ennisbrook, one of Montecito’s most exclusive gated communities.
A Private 1.77-Acre Estate With Ocean and Mountain Views
Set on 1.77 acres, the property offers sweeping ocean and mountain vistas, a hallmark of luxury living in the Santa Barbara enclave. Tall, manicured hedges surround the estate, providing privacy for the high-profile owners.
Outdoor amenities include a swimming pool and spa, a poolside cabana, and an outdoor barbecue area, all designed for relaxed entertaining in Southern California’s year-round mild climate.
Designed for Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living
The home embraces classic California indoor-outdoor living, with French doors opening multiple interior spaces directly onto landscaped grounds. Inside, the layout includes several primary bedroom suites, including an upper-level retreat featuring dual bathrooms, walk-in closets, a private bar, and a balcony overlooking the property.
The estate also features a gourmet kitchen with a large central island, complemented by a separate butler’s kitchen and walk-in pantry, along with a media room, formal dining areas, and a variety of flexible-use rooms.
