Rob Lowe Puts Extravagant Montecito Mansion On The Market For $47 Million

Rob Lowe and his wife Sheryl Lowe have put their Montecito, Calif. mansion on the market for $47 million. The area has just recovered from a devastation mud slide last year. The exclusive neighborhood also houses Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, and Al Gore.

The Georgian masterpiece has 20 rooms and 3.4 acres overlooking the Pacific Ocean. But still, they want a change. “With our boys now out of the house,” Rob told Sotheby’s, “we’re looking forward to our next real estate adventure.”

“I’ve always been drawn to a historic, east coast American aesthetic,” Rob told Architectural Digest for its November 2010 cover story on the home. “But a house also has to be comfortable, able to withstand the simultaneous traffic of teenagers playing football on the lawn, barbecuing on the patio, me slipping off to write.”

From the looks of it, it won’t be on the market for long.
