Weekly Perspective • Hope Ranch

Weekly Perspective • Hope Ranch

Happy Friday everyone,

We're just finishing up our work week here at Berkshire Hathaway in Montecito. Last week we talked about Carpinteria and it's real estate market and this week we want to introduce you to the exclusive neighborhood, Hope Ranch. Hope Ranch is directly adjacent to Santa Barbara and is bordered by a spectacular private beach. That's just the start of it, you have La Cumbre country club, Laguna Blanca private school and 30 miles of equestrian riding trails. This is home to to more than one billionaire and everyone's favorite rapper, Snoop Dogg.

Snooooop

Now Hope Ranch real estate is not for the faint of heart, the average home sells for 4-5 million dollars and easily climbs up over 20 million dollars. Currently the most expensive home listed in Hope Ranch is a 25 million dollar, 10,000 square foot stunner. It's an ocean front property on almost 4 acres, with a pool, spa, home theatre, private dance studio and tennis court. This home was built by a former Apple executive so you guessed it has all the tech bells and whistles you can imagine. If this sounds like the home you've been thinking about buying, you might want to jump on this one, it has recently been reduced to 25 million dollars and supposedly costed only 30 million dollars to build.

There are more modest homes in Hope Ranch, but everybody shares the same exclusive lifestyle and privacy. Now more than ever is an opportunity to stand out from the pack and work with a real estate agent that understands your local market. Have a great weekend! We'll see you next week.

Designer Revamps Historic Santa Barbara Bungalow

Living Room After Check out the November issue of Architectural Digest for an article on designer Madeline Stuart's impressive remodel of her historic Santa Barbara bungalow!

Santa Barbara's El Caserio, an alluring neighborhood known for its Spanish Colonial Revivals, arose in the 1930s as an artistic community and has been popular with artists ever since. Los Angeles-based interior designer Madeline Stuart first learned about the area when she and her husband thought about purchasing a Santa Barbara getaway. After visiting a beautiful El Caserio bungalow, Stuart immediately made an offer, and ended up with a new project.

Originally looking for a fun side task, Stuart quickly discovered that her new property had more issues than she had initially realized. Facing structural problems and questionable design choices, Casa Caserio underwent expensive renovations, including rerouting the entrance to the bedroom (which had originally meant walking through a bathroom) and designing all-new doors and windows that were still consistent with the authentic 1930s detailing.

Though costly and time-consuming, Stuart's hard work and dedication paid off. Featuring both modern accents and traditional Spanish charm, Stuart has transformed the historic bungalow while staying true to its Spanish Revival roots. Read the full article here and take a look at these stunning before and after photos!
