The *Star Wars* starlet and her family will have ample room in the Santa Barbera-adjacent town to escape the stresses of Hollywood. Portman's new 4,000-square feet mansion, with floor-to-ceiling water views, comes with four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a pool, [outdoor fireplace](https://money.com/shopping/), and ultra-modern finishes. Though it sits on more than 10 acres of land, the Oscar winner's vacation home is actually modest next to those belonging to other A-listers nearby. [Oprah Winfrey](http://www.therichest.com/expensive-lifestyle/lifestyle/the-promise-land-oprah-winfreys-42-acre-californian-estate/), for instance, enjoys a 42-acre estate, as does Ellen DeGeneres, although the talk show host recently put the [Italian-style villa](https://la.curbed.com/2017/3/20/14988578/ellen-degeneres-house-for-sale-montecito) on the market for $45 million. Actor [Rob Lowe](http://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/rob-lowe-santa-barbara-home-article) is also familiar with the area, while [Jeff Bridges](https://la.curbed.com/2017/5/17/15655076/jeff-bridges-house-montecito-mansion-sold) and [Drew Barrymore](https://www.zillow.com/blog/drew-barrymore-slashes-price-on-santa-barbara-home-134488/) recently sold. The average value of a home in Montecito, per Zillow, is slightly more than [$3 million](https://www.zillow.com/montecito-ca/home-values/), or about [15 times](https://www.zillow.com/home-values/) the national average. ![](https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman6.jpg) ![](https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman5.jpg) ![](https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman4.jpg) ![](https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman3.jpg) ![](https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman2.jpg) ![](https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman1b.jpg) ![](https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman1.jpg) ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/natalie-portman-mansion/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Housing", "item": "https://money.com/housing/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Home Buying", "item": "https://money.com/home-buying/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "See Inside Natalie Portman's $6.5 Million Seaside Retreat" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/natalie-portman-mansion/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/natalie-portman-mansion/", "name": "See Inside Natalie Portman's $6.5 Million Seaside Retreat", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2017-06-16T17:00:36.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/natalie-portman-mansion/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/natalie-portman-mansion/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-02-18T13:26:16.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "See Inside Natalie Portman's $6.5 Million Seaside Retreat", "articleSection": "Housing", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2017/06/170615-natalie-portman-home.jpg", "width": 1068, "height": 720, "caption": "170615-natalie-portman-home" }, { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman6.jpg", "width": 800, "height": 375 }, { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman5.jpg", "width": 800, "height": 373 }, { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman4.jpg", "width": 800, "height": 362 }, { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman3.jpg", "width": 800, "height": 383 }, { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman2.jpg", "width": 800, "height": 383 }, { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman1b.jpg", "width": 800, "height": 373 }, { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2017/06/portman1.jpg", "width": 800, "height": 376 } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Taylor Tepper", "url": "https://money.com/author/taylor-tepper-3/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/taylor-tepper-3/#author", "image": "https://img.money.com/2014/05/14-05-21_bio_author_tepper1.jpg?quality=85&w=190&h=190&crop=1", "email": "ttepper@moneymail.com", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/TaylorTepper" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2017-06-16T17:00:36.000Z", "description": "This is the way to get away", "abstract": "This is the way to get away", "@id": "https://money.com/natalie-portman-mansion/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2024-02-18T13:26:16.000Z", "wordCount": 171, "keywords": [ "celebrity homes" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Housing in the United States", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_in_the_United_States" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Real estate", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_estate" ] } ] } ] } ```
