Gwyneth Paltrow took out $22 million mortgage to renovate Montecito mansion: report

The guesthouse on the Goop founder’s property has been a hot topic in the past, as it was listed on Airbnb for the public to enjoy last August.

“My Montecito home is my sanctuary for respite and mental clarity. I go there to recharge, to daydream about what we’re building at goop and to reconnect with my family and treasured friends,” Paltrow wrote in the short-term rental’s listing at the time.

“Whether you’re seeking a place for unexpected connection or for well-deserved solitude and reflection, when you come to stay, I hope you’ll get as much joy out of the home as I do.”

She concluded, “Plus, I’ve loaded up your stay with some of my favorite goop essentials to nourish your body, mind and soul.”

The one-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse was available for one-night stays from Aug. 19 to Sept. 9.

In a paid partnership on Instagram, Paltrow also shared video of the home, which featured a soaking tub, wood-burning fireplace and vaulted ceilings.

While a few lucky guests reaped the benefits of the “Shakespeare In Love” star’s renovations, not all of her neighbors were pleased with the work that went into the property.

Page Six exclusively reported in 2017 that a spokesperson for fellow resident Michael MacElhenny told us at the time, “She’s created an uproar with neighbors on all three sides,” noting that the new building was allegedly too big, too tall and incompatible with the adjacent houses as it blocked others’ views.

Meanwhile, Paltrow’s designers have raved online about the work they did on the Montecito home.

“Roman and Williams have had a long collaborative relationship with Gwyneth Paltrow, having designed her Tribeca apartment, and the first three retail spaces–two temporary and one permanent–for her brand Goop,” they explain on their website.

“For their second residence for Paltrow, they helped her achieve a lifelong dream of building a house from the ground up, designing the architecture and interiors for her family home on a generous parcel of land in Montecito, California.”

The New York-based design studio also note they took careful “consideration to how the family lives, their particular experience of home and their needs, and how to bridge comfort and beauty.”

They added, “Like the building itself, the interior transcends archaic ideas of traditional and contemporary, as well as elegance and coziness, delicate details and strong lines.”
