If this is what retirement looks like, then sign us up! Cameron Diaz, who confirmed the end of her acting career in 2018, has purchased a gorgeous Montecito, California mansion with husband Benji Madden. The $12.67 million vacation home puts them in good company with fellow neighbors, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey, and Rob Lowe. Can you imagine what a block party looks like in this neighborhood?
The 10,823-square-feet home was inspired by the Italian villas in Lake Como, and the couple has plenty of room to invite over sister-in-law Nicole Richie and Benji’s twin brother, Joel since there are six bedrooms along with seven full bathrooms and three half-baths. The amenities offered on the estate are also of superstar status with a high-tech screening room, a spa treatment room, and two walk-in closets the size of a boutique.
The backyard is spectacular with the ocean views, so Diaz and Benji can enjoy it from one of their multiple balconies or the elegant pool — they are going to love every sunset. Their new home also has 1.77 acres for their daughter, Raddix, 2, to run around, and perhaps there is a playground in her future. See the stunning Montecito home — and be sure to check out more photos at Dirt.
Home Sweet Home
Diaz and Madden’s vacation home is a marvelous place to relax from their busy Los Angeles lives.
Neat and Tidy
This kitchen isn’t fussy, but it offers the perfect place for a chef to whip up a meal.
Convenient Dining Room
The dining room is just off the kitchen, so it makes it easy to host guests for a delicious meal.
Side-by-Side Living Rooms
If one living room wasn’t enough, then why not have two? They both have plenty of seating areas and a fireplace to stay warm and cozy.
Expansive Primary Suite
The fireplace and sitting area make this primary suite a wonderful retreat after a long day.
The Magnificent View
This is just one of the balconies on the property, but what makes this one so special is that it’s off the primary suite — tons of privacy.
A Just-In-Case Office
Even though the estate is designed to be a vacation home, Diaz and Madden can always do a little bit of work in their home office.
An A-List Must-Have Room
It’s not an estate without a state-of-the-art screening room. Diaz is retired from acting, but we are sure she enjoys a good movie night.
Backyard Fun
The sophisticated pool and spa will likely be the favorite spot for their daughter, Raddix.
Nestled in the Hills
