Actress Meg Ryan, a romantic comedy icon known for hits like *Sleepless in Seattle*, has once again listed her elegant Montecito, California mansion on the market.
Meg Ryan’s property, now offered at a reduced price of $19.5 million, was renovated by the actress herself, who is also passionate about interior design.
Luxury Property in Montecito: Prime Location and Ocean Views
Located on one of Montecito’s most prestigious streets, the two-acre estate was purchased by Ryan in 2021 for $9.5 million, shortly after she sold another home in Santa Barbara for nearly triple its original value. Initially listed for $22.5 million earlier this year, the mansion returns to the market at a more competitive price.
The listing is handled by the Riskin Partners Estate Group of Village Properties.
Property History: Celebrity Legacy and Sophisticated Renovation
Previously owned by Alicia McFarlane, granddaughter of John Wayne, and her husband James, the estate has a notable history. Before that, it was home to mystery novelist Sue Grafton. Originally built in 2010, the house was transformed under Ryan’s ownership, with 2,900 square feet added and a new veranda featuring ocean views, a fireplace, and a rocking chair.
House Layout: Comfort, Elegance, and Privacy
The residence sits on elevated grounds accessed by a long, tree-lined driveway. The compound consists of three distinct structures totaling 8,200 square feet, with seven bedrooms and six bathrooms:
- Main house: 7,000 sq. ft. with dark hardwood floors, exposed beam ceilings, whitewashed walls, arched doorways, and an elevator.
- Guest quarters: A 800 sq. ft. loft above a three-car garage.
- Detached cottage: 450 sq. ft. with a private suite.
Highlights of the main house include a media room, a sleeping porch, a spacious living room with fireplace, integrated dining area, and a gourmet kitchen with a marble island, built-in coffee station, high-end appliances, and a walk-in pantry.
Primary Suite and Outdoor Areas: Luxury and Serenity
The primary suite is a private retreat featuring a private terrace, fireplace, walk-in closet, and spa-style bathroom with a floating vanity and soaking tub. The landscaped grounds include manicured gardens, a decorative fountain, and several outdoor lounging areas.
Meg Ryan Also Invests in the Hamptons
In addition to her Montecito estate, Meg Ryan has expanded her real estate portfolio to the East Coast. Records show she purchased a traditional-style home in the Hamptons last fall for about $13.5 million. The 5,000 sq. ft. residence with wood shingle roofing already has people wondering: how will the star “Meg-anize” her new home?
