Don Johnson, the famous "Miami Vice" actor, has reportedly put his Mansion in Montecito, Calif., for sale with an asking price of $14.9 million.
Johnson and his wife Kelley Phleger reportedly bought the home last year, but are selling because they found a home that has more space for horses. The couple bought the home for $12.5 million and love the place but now that they have moved, they are selling it.
"The only reason Kelley and I are moving from this house is because we found a horse property and wanted to experience that way of living in Montecito," Johnson told The Wall Street Journal.
The home, located on 3 large acres of land, is being marketed by Nancy Kogevinas of Berkshire Hathaway and Billy Rose of the Agency.
The multi-winged mansion spans an area of 11,229 square feet and is comprised of four bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The residence offers panoramic views of the Pacific ocean and provides for ample recreation and entertaining spaces.
Interiors of the home feature French windows, large glass doors, light hardwood flooring and high cathedral beamed and drywall ceilings.
Called "Shack des Chênes", the home has several seating and dining areas. Other features include a gym, a music room and a gym. The kitchen is a modern entertaining space with a mid-rise island sporting granite counter tops and custom cabinetry.
Outside, the home has a in-ground trampoline, a dog run, a pool and lounge area and ample greens.
The listing describes the home as:
"Set amidst a grove of mature oak trees with sweeping vistas of the ocean, mountains and channel islands, this magnificent French Country estate presents an uncompromising lifestyle where casual elegance meets sophisticated charm in an idyllic natural setting. Hidden away on a cul-de-sac behind a private gate, this exquisite home was masterfully rebuilt with the utmost attention to detail and with no expenses spared in quality and craftsmanship."

Johnson shot to fame with his role as James "Sonny" Crockett in the the 80's thriller "Miami Vice". He even went on to win a Golden Globe for his role.
Speaking in an interview with The Rolling Stone about what he liked most about the show, Johnson said:
"The show was so malleable - we could go anywhere with it, and do just about anything. And I loved Miami. So much that I've developed a new show to be filmed down there, set in the Eighties. It's about the rise of big-time college football, and it's called Score. We just got the pilot in, which I'm thrilled with."
