ctor Rob Lowe and his wife, Sheryl, have listed their
classic Montecito, California estate for $47 million.
The property is reminiscent of the country estates in
Charlottesville, Virginia, where Lowe was born.
Located in a celebrity-studded neighborhood, the
buyer will be rubbing elbows with some of the world’s biggest stars,
including Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Gwyneth Paltrow and
Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Montecito is a much-favored retreat away from

the work-a-day world of filmdom. Located 80 miles northwest of Los
Angeles, between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains
in Santa Barbara County, the community boasts spectacular hillside
views, nearby whale watching and beautiful weather.
The Lowe estate is classic East Coast style and a standout from
the general Mediterranean architecture in the area. Sited on just over
3 acres, the main house was designed by architect Don Nulty, built in
2009, encompassing 10,000 square feet.
