Jeff Bridges and his beloved wife, Susan Geston, once resided at a historic Montecito ranch spanning four acres. The property, which has since been acquired by Oprah Winfrey, underwent significant renovation after being “severely damaged.”
Hollywood legend Jeff Bridges lived in a stunning Spanish-revival-style mansion built by renowned architect James Osborne Craig in 1919. This expansive estate, covering 3,517 square feet, was reportedly purchased by Oprah Winfrey for $6.85 million.
The Montecito area, known for its tranquility, breathtaking views, and privacy, is a highly sought-after sanctuary for celebrities looking to escape the Hollywood spotlight.
Upon entering Jeff Bridges and Susan Geston’s former home, visitors are greeted by a modern and warm atmosphere highlighted by high vaulted beamed ceilings. The lavish property features several structures, including the main house, a one-bedroom guest house, and a pool house.
The main house boasts three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, five fireplaces, and an updated kitchen equipped with chef-grade appliances. The master suite offers luxurious comfort with dual walk-in closets, bay windows, a fireplace, a marble and glass shower, and a freestanding bathtub.
Additionally, the property includes a pool house with a family room, bathroom, sauna, and office, as well as a carriage house with a workshop and its own office. Outdoor amenities include a pool, a citrus orchard, and a butterfly garden with a pond.
Jeff Bridges and Susan Geston purchased this slice of paradise in April 2014 for $6.85 million. After mudslides caused severe damage, extensive renovations were undertaken to restore and enhance the property. In May 2019, Jeff listed the home for sale with an asking price just under $8 million.
With a net worth estimated at $70 million, Jeff Bridges has built a notable career in acting, which began in 1958 alongside his father Lloyd Bridges and brother Beau Bridges. Jeff is best known for his role as The Dude in “The Big Lebowski.” He has been married to Susan since 1977, and together they have three daughters: Jessica, Isabelle, and Hayley Bridges.
In January 2019, Jeff received the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 76th Annual Golden Globe Awards, recognizing his substantial contribution to the film industry over a career spanning more than five decades.
