It takes ‘True Grit’ to rustle and tussle in the world of glam LA real estate, and Jeff Bridges is ready to get in the thick of it. After selling a stunning Montecito villa in 2017, the actor is now seeking to unload another gorgeous Montecito estate. This one is more like a compound with five separate structures sprinkled throughout the beautiful 4-acre property and is priced at $7.995 million.If you’re an equestrian or simply love to be surrounded by nature, this celebrity-owned property could be a perfect match. It boasts a stunning Spanish-revival style main house that feels lived in and relaxed, but also has a carriage house, gated horse facility with stalls, pool house, and main house. While the style and feel of this stunning estate is laid back, it will certainly require some maintenance.Bridges did more than just maintain the grounds and many structures, he renovated the beautiful 1919-built main house to bring it into the 21st century gracefully. Kitchens and bathrooms received the bulk of the updates and are now outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances and finishes. You’ll never want to change too much about this James Osborne Craig-designed treasure, as its arched windows and ornate fireplaces are priceless. Surprisingly, there are only 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, though, so if space is what you seek, an addition could do wonders.With a next-door neighbor like Oprah, you know you’re in coveted part of star-studded Montecito.
