Television producer Donald P. Bellisario is spending the holidays settling into his new, 6,875 sq. ft. single-level house in Santa Barbara County. The Magnum, P.I. and JAG creator paid $5.2 million for the secluded estate in Montecito.

The property’s 3.17 acres of grounds represent the lion’s share of the appeal, but the house is no slouch; it contains a series of fine details indeed, including a foyer capped with a stained-glass skylight, a wood-paneled library with a marble fireplace surround and raised hearth, and a spacious, tiled outdoor living area that transitions to a step-down patio.

The grounds are very attractive, and a gazebo, spa and lap pool give way to a large expanse of gardens and lawns that are traversed by a walkway. The Santa Ynez mountains provide the backdrop for the property and its living style.
