💰 Livin' Like MEGHAN & HARRY! Couple Chooses Their Own Montecito Mega Mansion 🌴

Nicknamed the 'American Riviera', Montecito, California is the exclusive, elite coastal enclave on the edge of sunny Santa Barbara that is the home to such notables as Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Rob Lowe, and more. The hamlet of less than 10,000 residents is among the wealthiest zip codes in the nation!

In this luxe episode of Million Dollar Dream Home, host Viviana Vigil guides John and Laura—a Los Angeles-based couple seeking a vacation escape—through three spectacular estates in Montecito, California. With a budget of $7.5 million, they're searching for a light, bright home featuring a gourmet kitchen, indoor-outdoor entertaining spaces, and a main-level master suite. Let’s explore the three contenders:
