Let me tell you something interesting. Are Joanna Gaines and Chip Gaines considering trading in their peaceful life in Waco for a little slice of Hollywood glamour? It seems the HGTV power couple might be expanding their property portfolio to include a stunning home in Montecito. An insider exclusively tipped off Closer that this could be on the cards. Now, that’s a big deal, right?
According to the source, Joanna, who’s 43, and Chip, who’s 46, have completely fallen in love with Montecito. They’ve already been checking out some homes in the area that are currently up for sale. But here’s the kicker—they’re not just looking for any place. They’re on the hunt for a home that will be absolutely perfect for their five kids: Drake, 16, Ella, 14, Duke, 13, Emmie, 11, and Crew, 3. This isn't just a whim; it's a family decision.
What Are They Looking For?
Here’s the scoop: They’re ideally searching for a home that’s close to the beach and spans over two acres in size. But it’s not just about the size. The Gaines family is specifically looking for a place that needs a little TLC. With their unmatched expertise, they’ll use their DIY skills to give it a Magnolia makeover. Imagine the possibilities! This isn’t just about buying a house—it’s about creating a home that reflects their unique style and vision.

Why Montecito?
For Joanna, the author of "We Are the Gardeners," and Chip, the home renovation guru, this move isn’t just about a change of scenery. They want their children to experience the joys of beach life and the refreshing ocean air during the summer months. But there’s more to it than that. Owning property in California could also be a strategic move for their business.
“Having a base in Montecito will give them the flexibility and freedom to enhance their brand in Los Angeles and the rest of California,” the insider explains. This isn’t just about buying a vacation home—it’s about expanding their influence and opportunities in the industry.
Will They Leave Waco Behind?
Now, don’t panic, Waco fans. If Chip and Jo do end up buying a home in Montecito, there’s no need to worry about them leaving Texas behind. The source reassures us that the couple “would never abandon” their stunning home in Waco. “Chip and Joanna will remain true to their roots,” the insider adds. That’s a relief, right? No matter where their adventures take them, their hearts will always be in Texas.
It’s no secret that Chip and Jo have no intention of selling their beloved Waco home. After all, they’ve called this charming place home since October 2013. The couple, who tied the knot in 2003, bought the house in 2012 but spent nearly two years renovating it to perfection.
The Victorian-style estate, affectionately nicknamed “The Farmhouse,” is a true masterpiece. It sits on more than 40 acres of land and boasts several bedrooms, three bathrooms, a country-style kitchen, multiple living areas, and even a craft room. The property also features a sprawling backyard with a massive garden, chicken coops, farms, and a greenhouse. It’s a place where memories are made and love is cultivated.
