Hollywood icon Jeff Bridges resided in a beautiful Spanish-revival-style mansion built by famous architect James Osborne Craig in 1919. However, now the sprawling estate, which spans a sizeable 3,517 square feet on four acres of land, belongs to media mogul Oprah Winfrey, who reportedly acquired the Montecito home for $6.85 million.

Granting residents peace, tranquility, breathtaking views, and privacy, the area of Montecito is hugely sought after by celebrities looking for a sanctuary outside of the glitz and glam of Hollywood.

Stepping through the wooden door of Jeff Bridges and Susan Geston‘s former family home’s entrance, one is met with a modern and warm feel with the gorgeous high vaulted beamed ceilings throughout the house. Adopting a more-than-meets-the-eye approach, the lavish property boasts several structures.

As if things couldn’t get any better, the amenities don’t stop there. A walk outside will have one exploring the pool, a citrus orchard, and even a butterfly garden with a pond.

Jeff aka The Dude and his beloved wife, Susan Geston, initially purchased the slice of heaven in April 2014 for $6.85 million.
After mudslides “severely damaged” the property, renovations ensued to not only restore its original glory but also give it a revamp.
The Golden Globe Award winner listed the home for sale in May 2019 with an original asking price of just under $8 million.
With a few million added to his bank account, Jeff already has a notable net worth estimated at $70 million. Such a fortune is not too surprising as the star began his A-list acting career back in 1958 alongside his father Lloyd Bridges, and his brother Beau Bridges.
