July 20th, 2008 Stephen Downarowicz Posted in Santa Barbara Properties Market outlook, Santa Barbara real estate Inventory No Comments »

Another celebrity Santa Barbara real estate sale in Montecito CA has closed. From Monty Python fame, actor John Cleese’s horse ranch and home has finally sold after around a year on the market listed at $28 million. Reported to have sold for $16.5 million on June 12, 2008. The 15+ acre equestrian ranch in Montecito CA , in the Santa Barbara real estate market is a unique world class horse facility.

It is reported that the buyers is cellphone millionaire Craig McCaw, ex-husband to Wendy McCaw, current owner of the Santa Barbara News-Press. When their divorce was settled it was reported to be the largest in State of Washington’s history and one of the largest in the history of the US.

John Cleese, too, has also found marital bliss fleeting. He is no longer with his third wife, Alyce Faye Eichelberger, a psychotherapist. Probably the reason for the Montecito property sale.
