Gwyneth Paltrow built 14,000-sq-ft solar-powered estate on $4.9M Montecito plot

Actress and entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow purchased approximately 2.4 acres of land in Montecito, California, for $4.9 million in 2016. She demolished the existing structures on the property to make way for an entirely new construction. The project spanned roughly six years before reaching completion. The finished estate spans around 14,000 square feet and incorporates sustainable features, including solar energy and a graywater recycling system.
