Santa Barbara’s luxury real estate scene just welcomed back a notable listing—Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s stunning coastal estate in the exclusive Campanil Hill neighborhood. Priced at $23 million, this nearly 4-acre compound offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands, blending privacy, elegance, and timeless architecture.
The SiriusXM radio personality and her late husband, Lewis Bishop, originally purchased the estate for $6.1 million in 2005 before undertaking an extensive renovation. Now, this beautifully updated Cape Cod-style residence is on the market, represented by Andrea O’Loughlin of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties.
A Coastal Retreat with Exceptional Amenities
Built in 1982, the main residence spans approximately 8,800 square feet, featuring six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. A grand double-height foyer with a crystal chandelier and a sweeping staircase sets the tone for the home’s sophisticated interior. The fireside living room showcases panoramic ocean views, while the formal dining room opens to the outdoors through classic French doors. A wood-paneled billiards room with a wet bar, an inviting media room, and a chef’s kitchen with top-tier Wolf appliances round out the main level.
The upstairs primary suite is a true retreat, boasting a private patio and an opulent onyx-clad bathroom with a soaking tub and a two-person shower. Beyond the main home, the property includes a one-bedroom guesthouse—previously soundproofed for Schlessinger’s studio—a three-car garage with an additional guest or staff apartment, and a dedicated fitness pavilion.
A Rare Opportunity in Santa Barbara's Exclusive Enclave
Campanil Hill is known for its breathtaking coastal estates, offering seclusion while remaining just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara. With its expansive grounds, resort-like amenities, and prime location, Dr. Laura’s estate presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Santa Barbara luxury.
