Christopher Lloyd asks $6.38M for his Montecito es…


Christopher Lloyd may be best remembered for blasting Marty McFly through time, but today the Emmy Award-winning actor and his wife, Lisa, are looking toward a different future: selling their Montecito retreat.

The couple has listed their three-bedroom property in the affluent California enclave for $6.38 million — placing their longtime sanctuary on the market at a time when Santa Barbara real estate continues to draw luxury buyers seeking privacy, proximity to nature and sweeping ocean views, according to a press release. 

Lloyd, overall, is best known for his roles in “Back to the Future,” “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Taxi.”
