- 8,788 square feet of living space
- 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms
- A leading house, guesthouse, and private apartment
- Tennis and pickleball courts
- A pool and spa
- A koi pond
- A walking trail surrounding the property
Radio Broadcasting Facility in the House
As a recognised radio host, it's hardly surprising that Dr. Laura’s house is graced with a radio broadcasting facility. Dr Laura started her radio hosting journey from her Santa Barbara home and has been hosting her beloved radio show from the comfort of her lavish home for years now.
"During commercial breaks, I'm staring at ships going by, it's very relaxing." Dr. Laura said.
Reason Behind Home Selling
Dr. Laura has decided to move into a smaller compound in Santa Barbara, so she is selling her splendid oceanside home. She plans to use the money from the sale to finance her passion for sailing and take her crew to Europe for races, something she can't afford to do while in her current residence.
