The Beautiful $160 Million Oceanfront Santa Barbara Estate

OOne of the largest and most expensive properties in California has just listed for a jaw-dropping $160 million. Dubbed the Sanctuary, the offering is made up of five individual land parcels and has two separate 8,000-square-foot homes.

It’s being shopped by Bruce Kovner, a hedge funder and philanthropist who bought a few acres of land in the area in 2007 and has been slowly assembling the now-22-acre property ever since. He’s spent about $110 million on these acquisitions, according to The Wall Street Journal. The process took around 14 years.

One of the estate’s biggest advantages is its location, as it’s situated right on the Santa Barbara coast with spectacular views of the water and the surrounding mountains. Big, open windows throughout both of the homes (plus the guest house) take full advantage of these vistas.

Outside there’s a pool and adjoining cabana, plus a rose garden and a citrus grove. All of the disparate land parcels are connected by a road, and there’s private beach access as well.

But one of the biggest perks of the Sanctuary isn’t so much what is on the property, but what isn’t. Three out of the five land parcels are largely undeveloped, and the future owner can build additional homes there—or add even more rose gardens, if that’s their thing.

Those who don’t want to totally splurge can break the property up too. One of the homes can be bought separately for $80 million; you’ll even get 10 acres of land with purchase.

If it does sell close to asking, it will be one of the priciest transactions in California (and the larger US) ever. The only one that’s higher is Jeff Bezos’s purchase of the Warner Estate for $165 million last year.

So why is Kovner parting with it? He and his wife are spending more and more time on the East Coast, which means their California digs have been largely vacant as of late. It’s hard to argue with all of the work they put into assembling the place, though, and there’s still plenty that you can add to the property, should you snap it up.

Where to Drink and Dine Poolside in NYC

While beach eats have improved exponentially in recent years, so too have the offerings at the city’s numerous, high-end hotel pools, multiple stories above the city.  So if you’re looking to stretch out on a chaise surrounded by skyline, you might as well visit a spot that’s put actual effort into their food and drink program — by installing an ambitious coastal Mexican grill (Hotel Americano in Chelsea), and hiring elite chefs like Andrew Carmellini (Brooklyn’s the William Vale).

The William Vale

111 N 12th St Williamsburg,New York 11249

(718) 307-7100

Andrew Carmellini and the NoHo Hospitality Group oversee all the food and drink offerings at Williamsburg’s East River-abutting, modernist hotel; an even more appealing feature than the 60-foot long pool itself (i.e., the longest outdoor pool in NYC).  Which means, you’ll likely spend more time lounging outside the water than doing laps, thanks to Baby Gem Caesar Salads, Grilled Chicken Sandwiches with harissa and gruyere, Aperol Spritzes and Southside Fizzes, made with vodka, mint, seltzer and lime.

The Pool

99 E.52nd St Midtown East,New York 10022

(212) 375-9001

So, you definitely don’t want to make the faux pas of wearing a swimsuit to this super chic, in demand Pool.  Though technically, there is a tiled body of water anchoring the center of the opulent, newly revived, Major Food Group-fronted restaurant in the Seagram Building (née The Four Seasons) and it does boast pretty much the very best food you’re likely to find poolside.  Think Caviar service, Foie Gras “ribbons,” Whole Fish, Surf and Turf, Octopus a la Plancha and Santa Barbara sea urchin toast.

Read More

Hotel Americano

518 W 27th St Chelsea,New York 10001

(212) 216-0000

The Mexico-based, internationally-branded Grupo Habita is behind this boutique hotel, located steps away from the Highline.  It also notably features an open-to-the-public pool (flanked by daybeds overlooking the Hudson River) and a coastal, adjunct Mexican grill, which far exceeds the hummus and guacamole offerings of similar rooftop destinations, with thoughtful fare like Jersey Corn Elotes, Duck Carnitas Tacos, Grilled 60-Day Aged Rib Eye Cap (prepared on the parilla and served with fresh tortillas), as well as agua frescas and paletas.

Read More

1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge

60 Furman St DUMBO,New York 11201

(347) 696-2500

Stop by on weekends for the Adult Summer Pool Parties at this DUMBO newcomer, which rocks a boomerang-shaped plunge pool, peeping out at NYC’s most iconic landmarks (the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge), and drinks and eats from Michael Oliver — an Andrew Carmellini protégé — including Whipped Ricotta and Market Tomatoes on focaccia, Fried Mochi Bites with tofu dressing, and “Heatstroke” cocktails, made with Avion Blanco, mezcal, pineapple and lime.

Read More

Beach at Dream Downtown

355 W 16th Street Meatpacking District,New York 10011

(212) 229-2559

An indoor/outdoor café surrounds the glass-bottom pool, sand beach, private cabanas and chaise lounges at this swank Chelsea hotel (all of which non-guests can access with $65 day passes), serving pan-Latin bites like Baja Fish Tacos, Bodega Egg Sandwiches, Yucca Fries and Shrimp Ceviche.

Read More

Gansevoort Park

420 Park Ave S Flatiron District,New York 10016

(212) 317-2900

Though one of NYC’s few roof-situated pools that is heated year round (fixed with a collapsible garage door between the indoor and outdoor spaces), there’s no better time to chill deckside at this luxe Nomad fantasia, with a dead-on view of the Empire State Building, and a café menu comprised of Lobster Rolls, Kobe Beef Corn Dogs and tabbouleh topped with Grilled Lamb Lollipops.

Read More

Hotel Indigo

171 Ludlow St Lower East Side,New York 10002

(212) 237-1776

Gerber Group’s rooftop pool and bar rocks a hip background tableau of the Lower East Side, along with laid back eats like Pat LaFrieda Beef Sliders, Tuna Tartare with taro chips, and Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwiches with kohlrabi slaw, and specialty cocktails such as Coffee Old Fashioneds, Cliquot Spritzes (fizzy with Veuve Cliquot champagne), and signature, punch-style Mr. Purple’s, made with tequila, cranberry liqueur, apple, lemon and allspice dram.

Read More

Mandarin Oriental

Upper West Side,New York 10023

(212) 805-8800

Being right by Central Park is already a tremendous draw for tourists looking for home base in Manhattan, but locals will undoubtedly start to flock to Columbus Circle’s Mandarin Oriental in droves.  Yes, the 75-foot lap pool is nice, located high up enough in the hotel that swimmers can look out onto the Hudson River, but Grant Achatz’s newly minted, first NYC residency is an unprecedented amenity; just be sure to towel off before visiting The Office (which offers pours from exceedingly rare bottles, and small plates such as Prime Ribeye Tartare), or the ultra-modern The Aviary, known for specializing in frozen balls of whiskey released with a harpoon.

Southern California’s Stunning Spanish-Style Homes

Red tile roofs. Wrought iron railings. Romantic archways. Spanish-style architecture has been a touchstone of the Southern California landscape since the early 1900s—and it’s still the design de rigueur for builders today. From an iconic 1920s Spanish-Mediterranean in Pacific Palisades built by the renowned architect of the Hotel Bel-Air to a newly constructed estate overlooking the Wilshire Country Club in Hancock Park, these Spanish residences prove the style is here to stay. 550 PASEO MIRAMAR | PACIFIC PALISADES Showcasing breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica bay, this iconic Spanish-Mediterranean Revival home, represented by Dan Urbach, was designed and constructed in 1928 by Mark Daniels, the renowned architect of the Hotel Bel-Air. One of the seven original homes in the early development of the Miramar Estates, the unspoiled masterpiece has been meticulously maintained and boasts original Malibu tile, custom millwork and romantic balconies throughout 4,627 square feet of living space. Interior highlights include an exquisite formal living room with soaring, vaulted ceilings, a grand fireplace and striking ocean views, while gorgeous grounds include magical gardens with terraces, fountains, and an interior courtyard primed for entertaining. 206 SOUTH RIMPAU BLVD | HANCOCK PARK One of the only new construction homes in Hancock Park, this spectacular estate, represented by Jon Grauman, blends a classic Spanish exterior with sophisticated, contemporary interiors envisioned for today’s discerning buyer. Situated on a quiet, private cul-de-sac overlooking unobstructed views of the Wilshire Country Club golf course, the home’s grand-scale living spaces include an elegant parlor and sweeping ballroom with a restaurant-caliber bar, marble fireplace, butler’s pantry and wraparound terrace. An incredible chef’s kitchen is lined with Fleetwood walls of glass that open to a grassy backyard, complete with an infinity-edge pool, built-in bbq and golf course views. 531 WOODRUFF AVENUE | LOS ANGELES This stunning 1928 Spanish-Colonial manse in prime Little Holmby, represented by Alexandria Brunkhorst, was recently featured in Architectural Digest. Restored to its former glory and reimagined with a sophisticated Montecito vibe, the airy residence features an open kitchen with seating area, dining room that opens to an outside garden and living room with exquisite built-ins. Traditional Spanish interiors were refreshed to give the home a modern, European sensibility; terra-cotta tiles were replaced with wide-plank French oak floors and windows were added to take advantage of the home’s southern exposure. The interiors flow seamlessly to a gorgeous backyard studded with mature olive trees and complete with a fire pit, grassy lawn, two lounge areas and a swimming pool. 4717 ENCINO AVE. | ENCINO Set discreetly behind 25-foot tall hedges and commanding gates, this modern Spanish estate in Encino, represented by Craig Knizek, James Hirsch and Denise Snanoudj, has been beautifully reimagined. Doors open to a soaring foyer and statement-making staircase that lead to warm and elegant interiors, including a high-end kitchen, media room, theatre, and secondary kitchen perfect for large-scale entertaining. The spacious master suite boasts a classic Spanish balcony overlooking the entire property, while a sweeping backyard strung with bistro lights features ample grassy lawns, a dining loggia, swimming pool and spa cabana with a wet bar, fireplace and built-in lounge. 321 S. CHADBOURNE AVE | BRENTWOOD PARK Located in prime Brentwood Park, this private, gated Spanish estate was custom built in 2010. Represented by Santiago Arana and Griffin Riddle, the home showcases soaring ceiling heights, custom design finishes and grand-scale living spaces. Highlights include an elegant chef’s kitchen with wine cellar, massive formal dining room, wood-paneled study, and beautiful wrap-around staircase with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking lush greenery. French doors bring the outside in, leading to a park-like backyard with grassy lawns, a pool, spa, built-in barbecue and loggia with an outdoor fireplace perfect for chilly California nights. ESTANCIA | SANTA BARBARA Nowhere is Spanish-style architecture more prevalent than in Santa Barbara, where the traditional architecture is still the aesthetic of choice. Estancia, a new residential offering represented by The Agency Development Group, showcases a more contemporary take on the traditional style. Situated along upper State Street, Estancia is a collection of single-story residences and multi-story townhomes featuring the signature Spanish architecture on the exterior and contemporary, sleek design on the inside. Ten-foot ceilings soar above bright, open-plan living spaces, where expansive windows draw the outdoors in. Clean lines are enriched with highly curated modern details, including intricate tilework, quartz countertops, and polished chrome fixtures. 28955 SELFRIDGE DRIVE | MALIBU This beautiful Point Dume estate is set on over an acre of flat land in prime Malibu. Represented by Eric Haskell, the beautifully updated, private home by Reath Design showcases a bright chef’s kitchen with custom tile work, light-filled living room, five bedrooms, an office or fitness space and more. The voluminous second-story master, complete with a spacious balcony and custom, hand-cut Moroccan tile bathroom, overlooks a spectacular backyard oasis, replete with an ozone swimming pool and tennis court. 702 N. MAPLE DRIVE | BEVERLY HILLS Located on the coveted 700 block of North Maple Drive in the flats of Beverly Hills, this exquisite Spanish hacienda, represented by David Findley and Andrea Korchek, was extensively remodeled while preserving its classic architectural elements. Surprising details elevate this estate to the extraordinary, including a secret speakeasy bar hidden behind a wood-paneled wall—revealed with the press of a button. The transformation continues outside with gorgeous landscaping, a refinished pool and beautifully reimagined casita.

Top 10 Real Estate News – Warren Buffett's Beach House & Montecito's Arrow Shirt Mansion

New Post has been published on https://is.gd/gbQlrn

Top 10 Real Estate News – Warren Buffett's Beach House & Montecito's Arrow Shirt Mansion

POMPANO BEACH, FLA./ SEPTEMBER 06, 2018 (STL.News)

“A Beach Deal From Warren Buffett”

In 1971, Warren Buffett bought a contemporary-style beach home in Laguna Beach for $150,000 – long before prices on the Southern California Pacific Coast began to skyrocket. He has had the six-bedroom home listed for over a year at $11 million, but recently cut the price by $3.1 million, now asking $7.9 million.

Known for his Midas Touch in choosing investments and a net worth of almost $85 billion, Buffett is a bit of a cheapskate when it comes to his lifestyle. He refrains from using popular technology, frequents McDonalds for breakfast and drives used cars that he holds onto for years. He still lives in a home that he purchased in 1958 for $31,500 in Omaha, Nebraska – the city where he was born.

Buffett did make one splurge in real estate. While married to his first wife, Susan Thompson, he bought a beach house in Laguna Beach where the family of five would vacation and spend holidays. He purchased it for $150,000, overlooking the Pacific and only a short walk to the sandy beach. Since Susan died in 2004, Warren has not made much use of the home and put it on the market in early 2017.

At 3,588 square feet, the Laguna Beach house is much different than Warren’s traditional Omaha home which is now worth about $600,000. His California home is very contemporary with six bedrooms and seven baths, big windows, sculptured ceilings and recessed lighting to spotlight the home’s modern art, a long fireplace and multiple built-ins. Two of the bedrooms have private entrances so guests can come and go without disturbing others. All rooms, including the large family room and decks, have ocean and beach views and the rock cliffs spilling onto the beach of Emerald Bay.

Newly priced at $7.9 million, the listing agent is Bill Dolby of Villa Real Estate, Emerald Bay, California.

“The Arrow Shirt Mansion”

One of California’s most historic homes, the Peabody Estate, is for sale. Perched on a peak at the tip of Montecito with staggering 360-degree views and several acres of gardens, it has been listed for $40 million.

Over a century ago, Frederick Forrest Peabody was one of the country’s wealthiest men. He was a partner at Cluett, Peabody and Co., the manufacturer of the popular Arrow shirts that were responsible for the big change in men’s fashion from rounded shirt collars to the pointed collar. Their advertising campaigns that focused on the debonair depiction of The Arrow Man reached coast to coast and became so popular that people began sending fan mail.

Peabody’s wealth grew along with Arrow shirt sales. In 1913, construction began on his mansion located on one of the prime building sites in California – 11 acres on a knoll in Santa Barbara at the tip end of Montecito with uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, the Santa Barbara city lights and the Santa Ynez mountains. Peabody died in 1927 and the property later became the headquarters for the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, a think tank where world leaders and scholars would gather to discuss societal problems. Attendees included John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Henry Kissinger.

New owners, former executives of Amway, purchased the estate in 1999 and began a three-year massive restoration of the 22,729-square-foot structure, bringing the house well into the 21st century and restoring the equally impressive grounds. Now with seven bedrooms and twenty baths, the mansion encompasses large formal rooms for entertaining, a huge kitchen with fireplace, ceiling beams of salvaged blue pine from a pre-WWII Canadian airplane hangar, marble countertops, dining area and family room. The master suite has an 18th-century French limestone fireplace, antique crystal chandelier and his-and-her closets and bathrooms. Also included is a beauty salon, fitness center, wine room, and a reception room/library paneled in French oak from the William Randolph Hearst mansion. The grounds contain a two-bedroom, two-bath guest house, a pool and cabana with sauna and two baths, four named terraces – each for a different view, an orchid house/art studio and a spectacular terraced rose garden containing over 500 rose bushes.

Now ready to march into the next hundred years, the mansion is priced at $40 million, listed by Stefan Pommepuy, Santiago Arana and Mauricio Umansky of The Agency, Beverly Hills.

Ojai Valley Inn & Spa, California

For many an Angelino, a quick trip away from the hustle and bustle of the city usually means hitting the beach. But for those in the know, a historic property 35 miles south of Santa Barbara is the perfect spot for a pleasing respite. Ojai Valley Inn & Spa in Ojai, California, has long been the go-to vacation spot for the Hollywood elite, from Clark Gable to Renée Zellwegger.

The expansive property sits at the base of the TopaTopa Mountains. One can’t help but admire the profusion of lavender and other fragrant wildflowers. It makes you feel as if you’re in the Mediterranean. The Spanish-style main building houses 308 rooms and suites, all with large, carpeted sleeping and sitting areas and stone-floored, salmon-colored bathrooms, some with tubs that open onto the bedroom. Step out onto the patio and you immediately get a sense of peace just by breathing in the clean air.

The grounds are at once immaculate and wild. The par-70 golf course is admittedly well manicured but the greens use the natural undulating hills to challenging affect. The herb garden pergola is a great place to enjoy a glass of wine or just relax with a great book. The resort has a number of areas at which to rest.

If you do decide to do something more strenuous, Ojai Valley Inn & Spa has a number of activity options. The two pools offer exercise and dining al fresco. Opt for the Herb Garden Pool. The adult-only spot features covered cabanas and hosts live music on Friday and Saturday nights. Rent a bike and head to town on the paved bike path. The tennis facilities are exemplary and if you need a hitting partner, the staff pro will happily comply.

But let’s face it, you’ve come here for the spa and it doesn’t disappoint. Choose from an array of body treatments, water therapies, facials and innovative massages, all performed with expertise and a smile. The spa has a sizable aqua lounge with a sauna, steam room and hot tub. You may never want to leave.
