MONTECITO, Calif. – In addition to his lucrative singing career, Maroon 5’s Adam Levine has accumulated millions in real estate profits. He married South African supermodel Behati Prinsloo in 2014 and had two children with her, and the couple has continued to pursue buy-and-flip homes projects. The latest acquisition is Rob Lowe’s former home in Montecito, purchased for $52 million.
After Lowe and his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, sold their longtime family home to healthcare executive Jack McGinley in 2020 for $44.5 million, McGinley sold the home in turn to Levine and Prinsloo for a nice $7.5 million profit after just two years. Knowing the frequent sales and huge profits Adam has made on his real estate moves – involving at least seven homes since 2012 – there is no doubt that he and his wife have a plan in mind, which will likely come to light in Architectural Digest in a year or two.
The 10,000-square-foot Georgian Colonial-style home was built in 2009 and designed by architect Don Nulty to resemble Lowe’s Charlottesville, Virginia birthplace. The decor is a bright-white interior filled with California sunshine and Pacific Ocean views.

The home has six bedrooms, 11 baths, large open formal rooms, a huge family kitchen, a separate catering kitchen, a wine room, multiple living-and-dining areas, a professional theater and an expansive master suite. Additional details such as vaulted ceilings, handmade crown moldings, custom millwork and view-framing windows add architectural charm. Also included is an office, library-music room with bar and a family room.
There are nine indoor fireplaces throughout the house, with one in the master suite. Outside is a full outdoor living room with a wood-burning fireplace, koi pond, large swimming pool, a tennis court with viewing area and rolling lawns, gardens large enough for team sports, mature oak trees and a vegetable garden. Also on the grounds are a swimming pool and spa, a two-bedroom guest house, a one-bedroom pool house with staff quarters and an outdoor kitchen.

Prinsloo came to fame as a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2009 and often opened the brand’s fashion shows on the runway. She also appeared in Maroon 5’s 2018 music video Girls Like You with her husband, their oldest daughter, and two dozen additional female celebrities. The couple’s most recent business venture is a tequila company, Calirosa, which went on the market last year. Levine, as frontman for Maroon 5, has won numerous awards: three Grammys, three American Music Awards, an MTV Video Music Award and a World Music Award. He has recently taken a break from almost 10 years of work as a coach on The Voice.
