The beloved celebrity couple Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo recently invested in a 10,000 square foot property in Montecito, California. Previously owned by actor Rob Lowe, the $52 M mansion is an impressive estate modeled after the Virginia countryside style.

The mansion features six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and three powder rooms along with a guest house and a pool house to host an endless number of guests. The value of this 3.4-acre Montecito estate continues to rise since its development back in 2009 and we can see why.

Don Nulty custom-designed the sizeable estate. In its current state, the property offers a sunken tennis court, a home theater, an outdoor living room, and more. The interior of the home showcases a lot of traditional elements, especially from the exterior, making it a big change from their contemporary compound in Pacific Palisades. Moldings and millwork can be seen throughout the home along with wood accents. French doors are also seen a lot throughout the home, allowing the interior and exterior of the home to mesh while highlighting the peaceful greenery.

Aside from this purchase, the Maroon 5 singer seems to be very involved in real estate over the past few years since he and his wife have bought and sold a number of properties over the last few years, generally raking in a sizable profit. Most recently, the couple listed their Pacific Palisades mansion for almost double what they paid for it in 2018.

Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, are no strangers to the real estate business as they are frequently involved in purchasing, renovating, and selling homes. Since 2003, the talk show host has reportedly owned 20 properties. DeGeneres and de Rossi currently appear to be gravitating towards the Montecito beach town as they have bid farewell to their Beverly Hills mansion for $45 million, their last remaining property in Los Angeles. Within the past year, the celebrity duo purchased two separate properties in Santa Barbara. The newest addition to their real estate catalog is a petite bungalow style residence purchased at a price of $2.9 million. The nearby community is also home to other renowned names such as Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Ariana Grande, Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey and Rob Lowe.

A short distance from Butterfly Beach, DeGeneres and de Rossi’s newfound residence spans 1,691 square feet and less than an acre of land. The single-story, midcentury modern style home includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The humble abode highlights a seamless indoor-outdoor flow with glass doors and walls fitting for California. The sleek minimalist kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, cherry wood cabinetry, and stone center island. The cooking area leads to a sun-drenched living room with fireplace. Down the hall, the primary suite is privately tucked away and offers a walk-in closet, Bali-esque bathroom with freestanding tub, and sliding glass doors leading to a spacious patio. The home also includes a second bedroom to accommodate guests. Stepping outside, the courtyard presents a fire pit, a serene fountain, and al fresco dining area for entertaining. The abundant lush landscape and exterior space offers room for a pool or guesthouse as noted in the listing.

Steven Soderbergh also features the property on the much-anticipated HBO picture “Behind the Candelabra,” a film that documents the life of vocalist Liberace. Starring Michael Douglas, Matt Damon, and Rob Lowe, this won’t be one to miss.

With both "Argo" and "Behind the Candelabra" filmed at the beautiful location, who's to say what other films may consider the residence as a new hotspot.
