One of Montecito’s most exclusive enclaves just got a fresh listing — and it comes with both celebrity ties and knockout design.
The $27 million estate at 1850 Jelinda Drive sits inside the guard-gated community of Ennisbrook, where neighbors include Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, and where Kendall Jenner recently picked up Ellen DeGeneres’s former equestrian estate for $23 million.
This particular property has its own claim to fame, as it once belonged to Marcus Lemonis, host of CNBC’s The Profit and FOX’s The Fixer.
Today, it stands out as a polished example of California contemporary design: a single-level home that unfolds across 8,847 square feet with ocean views, mountain views, and a long list of outdoor amenities designed to maximize life under the Santa Barbara sun.
Property snapshot: nearly 9,000 square feet, five bedrooms, and eight bathrooms
Set on 2.09 acres, the estate offers five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and nearly 9,000 square feet of living space. The single-level floor plan is designed for ease, with every major room opening onto terraces, gardens, or courtyards.
An estate that’s both grand and livable
Beyond its size and setting, the estate brings together details that feel both grand and livable — from its gallery-like interiors with clean lines and expansive glass, to outdoor fire features and fruit trees that make the two-acre property feel like its own private retreat.

Dramatic entry with floor-to-ceiling glass door
The arrival moment is carefully crafted: a floor-to-ceiling glass front door that immediately pulls the eye toward the ocean views.
It’s an architectural move that sets the tone for the rest of the home, where transparency and light define the experience.
Interiors with fresh contemporary updates
Recent renovations give the residence a modern, clean-lined look. A new seam-lined metal roof, contemporary siding, and expansive windows enhance its profile, while every fireplace was reworked with custom stone surrounds for a sleek, consistent aesthetic.
A gallery-like environment for art collectors
With its open walls, refined lighting system, and expansive windows, the home doubles as a showcase for art. Collectors will appreciate the seamless flow of wall space and natural light, offering a flexible canvas for displaying serious collections.
Centerpiece atrium designed for calm and connection
In the center of the layout, a welcoming, tranquil atrium serves as both a focal point and a serene retreat. The design brings light into the heart of the home and helps define the connections between its main living spaces.
Gourmet kitchen and open-plan entertaining
The kitchen continues the home’s contemporary aesthetic while providing functionality for gatherings large and small. Its open design connects to living and dining areas, encouraging the kind of indoor-outdoor entertaining Montecito is known for.
An inviting family room nearby features a stylish bar
The kitchen opens up into a welcoming family room with a stylish bar and the same indoor-outdoor connection.
A thoughtfully designed home office offers a sophisticated workspace with rich wood floors, blackout shades, and Lutron lighting controls.
Bedrooms and bathrooms with a resort-like feel
The five bedrooms and eight bathrooms are spread across the single-level footprint, each one opening to outdoor terraces or landscaped gardens.
Bathrooms are finished with a sleek, spa-inspired style, blending privacy with light-filled design.
Tennis court, bocce ball, pool, and spa for endless recreation
The grounds offer a full range of outdoor activities, from a tennis court and bocce ball court to a resort-worthy pool and spa. Multiple terraces, lounging areas, and dining spaces expand the options for enjoying Montecito’s climate.
Fireplaces, fire pits, and evenings under the stars
The home’s outdoor amenities extend into the night with a collection of outdoor fireplaces and two fire pits. These features create built-in gathering spots and bring a cozy element to the estate’s modern design.
Fruit trees that root the estate in Santa Barbara’s landscape
Adding to the charm are the fruit trees that dot the property — lemon, orange, tangerine, plum, and peach. Beyond the visual appeal, they’re a reminder that even at this scale of luxury, the estate stays grounded in the natural abundance of the area.
