Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Buy Montecito Compound for $14.2 Million

New parents Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have purchased a retreat for their growing family. The two superstars, who both listed Los Angeles–area homes shortly after getting engaged last year, recently purchased a Montecito compound measuring a generous 8.9 acres for $14.2 million. They reportedly still own a Beverly Hills mansion where they reside, though Perry listed her second home in the area earlier this month.

Their new estate is situated in the Santa Ynez foothills and comprises four separate but contiguous parcels of land. There is a Mediterranean-style four-bedroom main house, a detached four-car garage topped by a guesthouse, and a poolhouse with two additional bedrooms on-site. According to Variety, the property was originally built by Edwards and Plunkett in 1934 and was later renovated by Lutah Maria Riggs, the first woman to be named a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. 

The main house still retains much of its original aesthetics, like a white stucco exterior and a red-tiled roof framed by tall, swaying palm trees. A rotunda entryway gives way to a picturesque living room featuring a whole wall of French doors that open out onto a shaded brick dining terrace. Sandy-colored hardwood floors and a wood-beamed ceiling give the space a warm feel.

The kitchen boasts a unique green patterned wallpaper that covers not only all four walls, but the ceiling as well. The cabinets, painted a rustic sea green, add a fun edge to the room, which opens onto a breakfast nook and a separate butler’s pantry. The main suite occupies more than half of the upper level, boasting a whole host of amenities, including a stately wood-burning fireplace, two bathrooms, a large custom-fitted dressing room, and a separate walk-in closet. A private patio overlooks the rest of the property and the Pacific Ocean beyond that. The subterranean level houses a wood-paneled private office and a conference room. Outdoors, the estate continues to dazzle, with a full-size tennis court, grassy lawns, plenty of formal gardens, and multiple fountains dotting the property.
