“I can hype this house as much as I want. It’s going to live up to that hype. It’s going to exceed that hype,” says Terry Dubrow of the 22,000-square-foot home that he shares with his wife, Heather. Modesty isn’t a strong suit of the plastic surgeon and star of Botched, but there’s a reason for that: Dubrow is known as one of the masters of his trade, which is how he landed on the E! reality program in the first place. His wife, Heather Dubrow, is an equally recognizable face, as a former cast member of The Real Housewives of Orange County (which Terry also appeared on). While on the show, Heather documented the construction of the mansion, which they dubbed “Dubrow Chateau.” And although the house was finished three years ago, up until now fans have had to subsist only on sneak peeks at what the couple shared on their social media accounts.

The finished mansion is indeed as jaw-dropping as Terry says. Located in the tony enclave of Crystal Cove, the 40,000-square-foot property boasts dramatic ocean views and an exterior that Heather likens to famed hotel The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida. And while Terry found the plot of land, it is Heather who is largely responsible for the design and decor of the home. “The last house we built, I had some input,” Terry says. “We had the usual disagreements—‘build a house, lose a spouse’ kind of thing. With this house she said, ‘Here’s the deal. I’m going to build this house, but I don’t want to hear anything from you at all.’ And so that was the rule.” Heather opted to design the interiors herself, instead of relying on a decorator.
