Natalie Portman buys home in Montecito

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millipied have purchased a modern estate in Montecito for 6.5 million. Sweeping ocean views are enjoyed from this modern home designed by Barton Meyers on 10.4 acres in the Montecito foothills of Toro Canyon. A sleek balance of steel, glass, and concrete. The main living area offers 3 dramatic glass garage doors in that when raised create an amazing indoor-outdoor effect for a chic integrated living experience – see the image below.

The property is situated in a lush garden setting. Images courtesy of the Santa Barbara MLS. This property was listed with Risken Partners.
