Santa Barbara is renowned as a celebrity retreat for good reason; the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Jeff Bridges, Tom Cruise, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Lopez, Brad Pitt and Oprah Winfrey are some of the well known locals, to name just a few. Now one of the area’s most exclusive estates, indeed more expensive than many owned by the recognizable names cited above, has been listed for sale at $27M by Christie’s International Real Estate. Situated close to Montecito’s Upper Village, Shadows of Provence is sited on an incredible nine acres of perfectly landscaped grounds near to Winfrey’s own eye-popping estate, Promised Land. The main residence was designed by Don Nulty, who also designed Rob Lowe’s lavish Santa Barbara home.
