JUNE 10, 2021

Nestled in a rare flag lot above a stretch of pristine Santa Barbara coastline, this stunning three-bed, three-bath home astounds with captivating ocean views from every room. Chic interiors are the result of a recent, transformative remodel to add modern sophistication and handcrafted artisanship. Rare for Santa Barbara living, the home is open concept living, with custom carpentry and high-end finishes that exude a sense of modernity with ever-present accents of coziness and warmth. The chef’s kitchen, placed behind an 11-foot island, is perfectly positioned for family interaction, memory-making entertainment or simply to take in the quiet splendor of endless ocean views. Relax in the ultra-privacy and calm provided by a tranquil, indoor garden and oversized floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the outside in and frame miles of coastal paradise. The home sits on a 14,000+ square-foot lot with rarely seen (and expansive) front, side and backyards. And as an added unique benefit, the property includes fully permitted plans for a panoramic ocean view, reverse floor plan ADU, which, when built, will be one of the most jaw-dropping dwellings Santa Barbara has ever seen.

ADDRESS: 2111 Random Oaks Road STATUS: On the market PRICE: $9,500,000

Stunning Santa Ynez Farmhouse

I

’m not a wine drinker, but I am a sunshine and view lover. It is no surprise, therefore, that the sparkling infinity pool with a 360-degree view is what first enticed me to the Santa Ynez Valley on a Tuesday morning to visit the estate at 2111 Random Oaks Road.

The pool seems to float off into the view of the surrounding valley, with the mountains MAKE MYSELF AT HOME as a dazzling backdrop. It features two Baja shelves, plus a built-in spa controlled by a state-of-the-art automated system. Set in the front of the house and surrounded by a patio that boasts a striking wood-burning fireplace, the pool is an absolute showstopper.

Yes, I fell in love immediately. However, by the time I had toured the entire property, I surprised myself when I told a friend that the wine cave was possibly

by Sarah Sinclair my favorite part of this home. Me — the one who doesn’t even drink wine!

Reminiscent of a magical fairy-tale entryway, a curved wooden door — surrounded by river rocks and built into the hillside — opens to reveal the wine cave. A long hallway invites visitors to meander and ogle the wines

displayed along its right-hand side, each rack individually spotlighted by dramatic lighting. Equally hypnotizing — to me, at least — was the artwork showcased on the opposite side of the hallway: a collection of originals by artist Rick Griffin.

Fashioned after a pueblo kiva — a circular, subterranean structure used for spiritual ceremonies — the wine cave not only holds a thousand bottles of wine but also features a powder room, kitchen with a double kegerator, living room with a massive stone fireplace, and French doors that lead outside for indoor/outdoor entertaining.

Although the cave is underground, it is situated such that it has views from the living room and patio, offering the best of above-ground living, too.

While the pool first caught my attention, and the kiva wine cave left a lasting impression, the house itself is spectacular. Built in 2020, the four-bedroom three-and-a-halfbath home embraces a minimalist white aesthetic with black accents, including marble finishes and custom steel doors throughout.

As I walked from room to room oohing and aahing, I learned that local design firm Shannon Scott Design curated every detail of the modern farmhouse-style home, from window frames to patio pavers to custom-built cabinetry.

In the living room, walls of glass and French doors provide views to the east and west; huge windows flood almost every room with light. There’s a family room with a wet bar, an octagonal-shaped office with exterior access, and up a curving steel stairway sits a second-floor observatory. Reminiscent of a crow’s nest, this room offers even more dramatic views than the main floor. Stunning no matter how it might be utilized, I lingered over the vista and imagined what an inspiring yoga studio or meditation room it could be.

The kitchen features an immense Wolf gas

range with six burners, infrared charbroiler, griddle, and warming drawer, a 48-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator, 30-inch Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, and quartzite countertops and island. A second 48-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator graces the pantry, and a fully outfitted coffee bar promises to delight home baristas.

All four bedrooms are serene sanctuaries with tons of windows letting in the magical valley light. The primary bedroom also features vaulted ceilings, glass doors, a window seat, and an expansive walk-in closet. Its bathroom stands out with an oversized walk-in shower and a slate soaking tub framed by a huge picture window. Steelframed glass doors open out onto a private patio with an outdoor shower walled with limestone for privacy, teeming with greenery, and boasting yet another amazing view.

The magnificent hilltop setting of this estate is situated at the end of a private road. With over 12 acres zoned for horses, the property has space for a barn, stable, tennis court, vineyard, or even a helipad. Drought-tolerant native landscaping from Sam Maphis of Earthform Design makes the exterior as inviting as the interior of this home, with fabulous patios and deliberate view nooks for entertaining and reflecting.

I’m not a wine drinker, but I could live in that kiva — just as long as I could meander outside once in a while to float in the infinity pool, rinse off in the outdoor shower, and admire the panoramic view. This enchanting home is sure to weave its spell on every visitor, whether they’re a wine drinker, sunshine lover, or both.

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY SALES

JUNE 10, 2021

Contact Cimme to discuss your selling, buying, or investing goals in Santa Barbara.

Year to date, we saw a 42% increase in median prices compared to last year. Inventory is still in a considerable deficit with 72% fewer homes for sale than this time last year. With so few homes available paired with the level of increasing home prices, many buyers are wondering if homeownership is still possible from an affordability standpoint. The short answer is yes. Affordability is at an all-time high, primarily due to historically low mortgage rates.

(May 2021)

The impact of climate change can be seen in northern B.C., where forests are suffering from drought, wildfires, and pest infestations. These impacts are compounded by massive carbon unleashing through logging, mining, and fossil-fuel extraction—powerful industries in the province.

Thousands of seedlings are planted every year by the forest industry but for economic value, creating fast-growing, high-yield monocultures.

Seed the North, enlisting local Indigenous communities for their knowledge of the land and as part of their workforce, collects biodiverse seedpods. When combined with biochar, made from the waste wood left behind by logging, these become biochar seed casings that optimize generation. The casings offer all the required nutrients and protect the bundles from drought and scavenging animals. With ecological diversity accorded highest consideration, many of the seeds in the bundles are not considered valuable to the forest industry but are essential to forest health, carbon reduction, and wildfire prevention.

Seeds of deciduous trees (birch, alder, and Rocky Mountain maple) create fire breaks.

In addition, their silvery leaves reflect the

Many have come to the realization that only through massive carbon sequestration will we be able to address climate change in time to keep the planet livable. One such program with a vision of large-scale carbon drawdown is called Seed the North.

Located in northern British Columbia, it aims to regenerate large swaths of land, first in B.C. and then across Canada. The project’s mission incorporates three pillars: traditional Indigenous knowledge, scientific research, and harnessing the possibilities of technological innovation.

According to scientists, these restored forests have the potential to store more carbon dioxide than the emissions produced each year by the U.S. Despite this news, surprising to many scientists and conservationists, deforestation is still claiming vastly more forest than what is being regenerated.

Large-Scale Carbon Sequestration Is Imperative

sun’s heat back into the atmosphere and provide nutrients while decomposing.

The final component, beside the biodiverse seed mixes and nutrient-rich biochar casings, is using drones to disseminate the packets.

It is this ingenuity

by Dennis Allen that has the potential for large-scale application. Initially, the project will target remote and hard-to-reach areas that otherwise would not be replanted. It will also focus on areas disturbed by natural events, like wildfires, floods, and landslides, as well as those impacted by industry.

Seed the North is working with the provincial government while also trying to forge links with private industry. The approach of incorporating Indigenous perspectives, increasing biodiversity, contributing to long-term carbon sequestration, and being able to go large-scale is holistic and unique. Once proven, this approach has applicability across the globe.

few weeks ago, I wrote about the different types of commercial leases that are out there. It is important to understand them so that you know what other expenses you are on the hook for besides rent. These expenses are called Operating Expenses and a Landlord will do their best to budget for these expenses each year. For some expenses like taxes and insurance, it is not too difficult to determine the budget. However, there is another portion of Operating Expenses referred to as Common Area Maintenance (CAM) expenses. This expense can be a little more difficult to budget, as it will include repairs, maintenance and the operation of any common or shared areas in your building. This can include shared lobbies, hallways, bathrooms, elevators, parking areas and landscaping. Since these types of expenses can vary from year to year, usually a reconciliation happens at the end of each year where a Tenant will either receive a bill for any overages in these expenses or a credit towards the next year if the expenses were less than budget.
