might be one of the coolest down-to-earth actors on the planet and by all accounts he lives that way too after starting his acting career as a child Jeff would work steadily from the time he was 2 years old all the way up to his big break in the The Last Picture Show which was released in 1971 of course Jeff might be better known for his legendary performance as the dude in the big Labowski now considering Jeff was practically raised on film and TV sets it could be argued that he feels more at home in that type of environment than anywhere else soon after meeting the love of his life Susan in the mid-70s he and his soon to be bride picked up themselves a ranch in Montana they still reside in to this day a home that actually served as the setting to one of Jeff's older films the not so popular Heaven's Gate and while Jeff spends most of his free time living there being the Hollywood main state that he is he's also spent a large portion of every year in California where he's owned two homes over the past few decades more specifically in the town of Montesito hey guys it's Cara back with another exclusive house tour here in famous entertainment and this one checking out where Jeff Bridges calls home don't forget to like subscribe and hit me up on Instagram to chat and now let's get into this video in the early 9s Jeff Bridges spent slightly under $7 million to buy the onetime former monito home of Granny award-winning musician Kenny Loggins known as Villa Santa Lucia this 19.5 acre property centers on a Tuscan inspired main house that was designed by Santa Barbara architect Barry ccus and first built in 1988 with an exterior fronted by a stoneline motor Court the home opens through a handcarved front door that leads into a very formal entry hall lined with thick Stone pillars and topped off with vated ceilings terra cotta lines the main hallway that leads to a sunken living room which has been anchored by an eye-catching antique stone fireplace nearby French do just off of the living room area open to a Terrace with stunning ocean views then there's the dining room that features feates a coffered wood ceiling as well as more of those thick Stone pillars also located within the more than 9,500 feet in the main structure is a library that boasts rustic beams reclaimed from Bridges out on the east coast and this being the home of one of the most mellow dudes in the history of the planet it does make sense that you will also find a meditation room the Jeff puts to good use on a very regular basis in total there's said to be six bedrooms and 6 and a half bathrooms well the primary Suite includes a stairwell that leads up to a secret third floor Tower room outside of the main home in the property it also includes a 1,800 ft detached Guest House a guest Cottage and even a detached theater SL recording studio entire grounds are filled with mature Oaks olive trees and Italian cypresses there are also massive expanses of lawn and decking that surround a stone edged swimming pool elsewhere in the property are fruit orchards Vineyards hiking trails and a foot Bridge that crosses a running stream pretty much sounds like the perfect place to live right that must be why Jeff and Susan stayed here for so long but in 2017 they'd finally list the estate for just under $30 million they wouldn't quite get what they were looking for but they did walk away with about $16 million more when they eventually found a buyer now that we've checked out one of Jeff's monteo Estates let's see his most recent California home a property that's also located in the city of mono man the dude must love that place the second estate that Jeff Bridges bought him onedo is centered around a 100-year-old home built by noted architect James Osborne Craig it's a stunning property that's surrounded by Gardens redwoods Oak Groves Orchards a guest house and a pool house it even includes equestrian features like a carriage house and horse facility with five stalls and a attack room as Jeff's real estate agent would tell Rob report it's exactly where you would imagine Jeff living incredibly private and quiet with Acres of walking paths through Oak and Redwood Groves it's a mindful Oasis away from everything heavily remodeled during Jeff stay the main house provides a fascinating blend of original details and contemporary Furnishing for instance there are hardwood floors leaded windows and high ceilings that offer exposed unvarnished beams not to mention five Charming semicircular fireplaces all of them original to the property the kitchen boasts skylights up top as well as tile and quartz finishes and an indoor outdoor lounge with an entire wall of built-in shelving and cabinets the master suite here features a newly add-on bathroom with heated tank floors and a Sleek shower made of marble and glass in total there are three bedrooms and three bathrooms in the property out back a red brick Terrace surrounds the pool slspa area which is overlooked and shaded by oak trees the adjacent pool house has a bathroom and changing facilities plus a family room office and a sauna the carriage house Sports and attached Workshop while the equestrian barn includes its very own water well something that's extremely hard to come by in the generally dry State of California despite how nice this property is Jeff and Susan only lived here for a handful of years before deciding to move out of montedo completely they dropped this property on the market in 2019 and eventually found a big time buyer for it their next door neighbor opra Winfrey the media Mogul shelled out $ 6.85 million for Jeff's former home which is the exact same price Jeff bought it for in the first place according to reports Oprah secured this property so as to extend her own massive mono compound after Jeff and his wife left mono behind they went on over to their longtime home in Montana so let's check it out it's not unusual for actors to take keepsakes from the sets they spend so much of their day-to-day on like seean outfit their character on SW or even a cool prop Jeff Bridges took that concept to another level after all he lives in a ranch home that once served as the setting for one of the most colossal box office flops of all time Heavens Gates Jeff starred in this three-hour epic that focuses on the Johnson County war and at the end of shooting in the late '70s filmmaker Michael chimino offered a set that served as a brothel in the film to anyone cast willing to buy it Jeff jumped at the chance and turned it into his longtime home now known as hog Ranch as it turns out Bridges fell in love with Montana years ago when he first met his wife Susan while filming a scene at chica hot springs in the mid 70s for the movie Rancho Deluxe a few years later he and Susan would pick up a parcel of land in Paradise Valley a place that they've been calling home for over four decades now while not much is known about the interior of this home Jeff's estate is believed to be comprised of three properties including an additional cabin and a barn that were also featured in the 1980 Western all of which were packed up and moved to the piece of land that he and Susan owned when asked how the place came together Jeff explained to hollywood.com we disassembled the buildings numbered the logs put them all on a flatbed truck and drove 200 mil South to mine and Susan's Ranch since that time we've added to the buildings a bit but the core of the main house is built around the hog Ranch the bullet holes are still in the walls those bullet holes that he's referring to our set decoration from the shootout that takes place at the climax of the film just in case you were wondering in fact according to Bridges every couple of years he and his family will even break out a copy of Heaven's Gate just to rewatch the film and enjoy seeing their Ranch on screen and while this is definitely one of the most unusual properties I've covered on this channel if anyone was able to pull off living in something like this it would definitely be Jeff Bridges after all this guy can make anything and everything look cool
