The post A Private And Secure Ranch In Los Olivos By Carey Kendall appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The Valley

In the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, Rancho la Zaca and Oak Savanna Vineyard nestle amid a landscape of rolling hills, ranches, and vineyards, with swaths of poppy-studded pasture and lupine covered meadow. Carved from a royal Spanish land grant and embodying a mythic old California lifestyle, this remarkable estate stands against a backdrop of stately mountains, and azure skies, yet is but 40 minutes’ drive from Santa Barbara, two hours from Los Angeles, and four hours from San Francisco.

With its open vistas, coastal influences, and excellent land values, it is no wonder the Santa Ynez Valley is rapidly being discovered by savvy investors, Silicon Valley denizens, and the Hollywood celebrity set alike. Local schools are among the best in the state, and the county’s Cottage Hospital Network is among the nation’s finest. The area is known of course for its winemaking, but also for its love of horses, offering superb veterinary care and top training facilities in all equestrian disciplines. Hiking, cycling, golf, tennis, farmers’ markets, fine dining, and an active arts community complete an already brimming and beautiful picture.

The Ranch

Unparalleled in the Santa Ynez Valley, the 400+/- acre Rancho la Zaca is enviously located along the storied Foxen Canyon wine trail.

The main residence is a stunning 8,000+/- square-foot, five-bedroom contemporary masterpiece designed by renowned American architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen and built for the late actor James Garner and his wife. Since acquiring the ranch in 2000, the current owners have enhanced the property considerably with a world-class sporting clay and shooting range; a well-stocked and picturesquely landscaped pond with dock; a romantic grove of mature olive trees; and a modern six-stall horse barn and regulation-sized rodeo arena, complete with cattle shoots and spectator stands. A lovely old picnic area is shaded by massive oaks and lit at night with hundreds of twinkling lights. And finally, miles of hiking and riding trails wind their ways around this sybaritic sportsman’s and nature-lover’s paradise.

The Houses

The main house stands at the end of a long and gracefully curving drive, where a gravel motor court welcomes visitors and provides ample parking. An arbored walkway bordered by juniper topiaries leads to a capacious entry flanked by exterior gardens. From there a glass-walled passage opens to a dramatic, light-filled great room with soaring 25-foot ceilings and fireplaces at left and right. Inspired by the wooden cobblestoned streets of Old Havana, the current owners installed a wooden tile floor, and added wooden mantelpieces atop the rustic limestone hearth surrounds. Living and dining spaces in the room accommodate cozy evenings for two as well as festive gatherings for 20 or more.

From the great room, handsome glass doors lead to a heated, covered patio overlooking an infinity-edge pool and endless views of the vineyards and mountains beyond. A large surrounding porch offers several al fresco seating and dining areas, a firepit, and a pool house with full bath, two separate showers, and changing room.

The master suite occupies the east wing of the house and comprises large separate baths, closets, and dressing areas. An intimate but spacious separate sitting room looks onto a fenced garden on one side, and on the other a private deck bordering the olive grove. Upstairs, via separate staircases, are an office with panoramic views and a bedroom with ensuite bath that can also serve as an office.

Three additional upper-level bedrooms have ensuite baths, built-in cabinets and closets, and are each accessed by separate staircases to afford the utmost privacy. This construction is a famous signature of Architect Jacobsen.

The large kitchen is fully equipped with the highest commercial grade appliances and copious storage for supplies and tableware. The thoughtful, professionally designed set-up is suitable for the most demanding caterer or the most relaxed home cook. An ample butler’s pantry contains a large wine cooler, wet bar, and breakfast nook with stylish banquette seating, the perfect sunny spot to watch the evening news or visit with family and friends over morning coffee.

A service hall from the kitchen contains more cabinetry, an additional sink and dishwasher, and leads to a large laundry room. Rounding out the main level is an office with built-in desk, shelves, and filing drawers, and a separate room for supplies, printer, shredder, and other office equipment.

A lower level contains a temperature-controlled wine cellar, mirrored gym and workout room, and a large storage room.

Two garages house two cars each, plus additional storage areas, and an attached outbuilding holds sporting equipment, bicycles, and waste receptacles.

Elsewhere on the property is a large utility barn, a 4-bedroom Ranch Manager’s house and a 3-bedroom Vineyard Manager’s house.

The Vineyard

Planted in the 1970s, the Oak Savanna Vineyard is one of the oldest in Santa Barbara County. Originally planted in all Chardonnay, varietals have since been expanded to include Syrah, Sangiovese, and Tempranillo. For decades, winemakers near and far have proudly and consistently produced exemplary wines from the superior fruit of Oak Savanna. And while all vineyards are arguably beautiful, the Oak Savanna is uniquely so, distinguished by its ochre-colored limestone end posts. The handsome, rough-hewn posts were carted in from Kansas, where a lack of wood for fencing gave rise to this quarried variety, now ingeniously deployed at Oak Savanna.

The Foxen Canyon Story

An integral part of the legendary Santa Barbara County wine country, the Foxen Canyon Road is home to more than two dozen vineyards and wineries, producing some of our area’s most coveted fruit and finest wines. Winding its way through vineyards, oak studded hills, and lofty mesas with open vistas and see-forever views, the road has long been a favorite with cyclists and Sunday drivers alike. An area of astonishing topographic diversity, pine-topped distant mountains tower over gently rolling pasture land where cattle and horses graze. In spring the hills turn bright yellow with wild mustard, vibrant orange with poppies, and silvery blue with lupine. In summer when the hills turn golden, the verdant foliage of the vineyards punctuates the landscape and heralds the bounty of the harvest to come. Foxen Canyon is itself the quintessential California landscape, truly a special place.

History of the Zaca Spanish Land Grant

Awarded by the Spanish Crown in 1838, the original Zaca land grant is believed to be the first in the Santa Ynez Valley. The grant was small by comparison, at about 4,400 acres, taking its name perhaps from an Aztec word that roughly translates as “peaceful place.” But no one knows for sure, alas. Around the turn of the 19th century, the land was bisected along the boundary formed by the old stage coach route, then referred to in Spanish as the camino. The camino later became Foxen Canyon, named for a distinguished local military officer whose family resides there to this day. In the 1970s, the property was again divided, this time into four parcels, one of which became the 400-acre Rancho la Zaca. The actor James Garner purchased the property in the 1990s and commissioned visionary American architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen to design the current residence, a bold contemporary statement that is as respectful of the surrounding landscape as it is welcoming to all who enter it.

We are almost in November and while the rest of the northern hemisphere is pulling out winter coats and watching leaves fall, Kohanaiki, a 450-acre private club community on the Big Island of Hawaii, is preparing for winter a little differently- by pulling out the surfboards, sunscreen, and welcoming home the Kohola- humpback whales.

Located along the sunny Kona coast, this area is renowned for some of the best sport fishing, surfing, and diving in Hawai‘i.  And every winter, the Hawaiian Islands welcome home the Kohola to frolick in the warm Hawaiian waters- truly a spectacle to watch from Kohanaiki’s impressive 67,000-square-foot clubhouse.

Kohanaiki’s World-Class Amenities Give a One-of-its-kind Experience to Its members, Year-round

With water clarity is at its peak during the winter and an average water temperature of around 75 degrees, it’s no wonder Kohanaiki’s 39’ Yellowfin private boat stays busy whisking members on memorable family diving, fishing, and snorkeling tours every day.  The Club’s Beach restaurant will cook up the day’s catch, anyway you like it.

Ocean recreation not for you?  Play a few rounds on their Rees Jones-designed golf course featuring six ocean-front holes, relax in their expansive spa with private men's and women's lounges and outdoor areas, or get your hands dirty in the biodynamic farm, with fruits, vegetables, and plants grown for their restaurants and members.

When the Sun Goes Down

The Clubhouse, situated at the heart of the development, was designed to take in the panoramic ocean, golf, and mountain views and houses a restaurant, fitness areas, spa and Members’ Shop on the main level and a 21-seat theatre, 4-lane bowling alley, billiards, foosball, shuffleboard, and a variety of video and board games on the lower level.

An authentic gallery of art devoted to the Hawaiian culture enhances a James Bond-style poker room and scotch bar, wine tasting room and private dining areas. The second level is also where the Club’s micro-brewery is located.  Yes, their own micro-brewery.

From sun-up to sun-down, Kohanaiki is certainly a place that knows how to winter.

Auberge Beach Residences & Spa Fort Lauderdale

Slated to open this year, Auberge Beach Residences boasts an indoor golfing experience, designed by aboutGolf.

Filling a luxurious space, imagined by Mayer Davis, the software is clearly a cut above the rest. If you need a proof – the PGA tour has endorsed it.

Hyde Midtown Suites & Residences

Miami is pressed for space and Hyde Midtown Suites & Residences has found an ingenious solution. The mixed-used development has taken its putting green to the rooftop, over 30 stories high, where hotel guests and residents can practice amid breath-taking vistas of the city.

Paraiso District

The Beachgoers

It goes without saying that Dubai is one of the world’s hottest beach destinations, no pun intended. Head over to the Instagram feed of anyone who recently visited Dubai, and there will be at least one picture with sun, sand and sea featured prominently.

Two of the oldest beaches are Kite Beach and Jumeirah Beach, populated by swimmers, jet skiers and amateur shutterbugs taking pictures of the sailboat-shaped Burj Al Arab. Though if you really want the best beach experiences Dubai has to offer, you’ll have to head a bit further west, where you will find the Jumeirah Beach Residence and the iconic man-made island, Palm Jumeirah, home to luxury beachfront villas.

The Sporty

Would you like to live a few steps away from your next tee time? With a selection of premium golf estate, which includes the very exclusive gated community of Emirates Hills, Dubai offers the perfect mix of luxury living and leisurely pursuits. All of these lovely estates feature golf courses designed by veterans of the sport, including Ernie Els, Greg Norman and Colin Montgomerie. Dubai is also the host of the Dubai Desert Classic and the season ending DP World Championship and Race to Dubai at Jumeirah Golf Estates, cementing Dubai’s global status as a golfing destination.

If equestrian sports are more your preference, you can seek out one of the lovely villa communities located near either of Dubai’s championship polo clubs, or a home close to the immense Meydan Racecourse, where annual Dubai World Cup racing event is held every March. And of course, there’s the World 7s Rugby in December, ATP Tour Tennis in February and a stellar sports lineup throughout the year.

The Urbanites

For many, life in the midst of a teeming metropolis is what luxury is all about. Nothing could be more relaxing than lounging in the spacious living room of a duplex penthouse in the evening while watching the glittering lights of the city spread out below. For those die-hard urbanites, there is Downtown Dubai.

The busiest commercial and retail center in the city, Downtown is the home of the world-famous Burj Khalifa as well as the world’s largest shopping mall, Dubai Mall, and the stunning Dubai Opera. It is also the site of many a skyscraper enjoying panoramic views of the city’s skyline.

Alternatively, you could head to Downtown’s neighboring district, Business Bay. Bisected by the Dubai Canal – the world’s longest man-made canal, of course – this has become one of the city’s most exciting waterfront destinations over the past year. You can get a home right by the water, or one with a view of the Burj Khalifa looming on the horizon.

The Families

What was once a tourist hub and a big draw for young singles has, over the years, transformed itself into one of the best cities in the world to raise a family. Dubai is dotted with a number of beautiful and tranquil residential communities featuring large houses with spacious yards, located a few minutes from the city’s top schools and hospitals.

Emirates Hills, as we’ve already mentioned, is pretty high up on the list. Also popular are Arabian Ranches, Jumeirah Golf Estates and the upcoming mega communities of Mohammed Bin Rashid City and Dubai Hills, which is split into several residential enclaves designed to appeal to the whole family.

The Music Lovers

What do Sting, Tom Jones, Drake, Chris Brown, Santana, John Legend, Mariah Carey, Duran Duran, Backstreet Boys, and Bebe Rexha have in common? They have all been part of the lineup at music festivals in Dubai. The two main events are the Dubai Jazz Festival in the spring and Red Fest DXB in the winter, which are weekend-long events. Other than that, there is always a major concert or two happening in the city that attracts top musical talent.

If your tastes run to the more classical, perhaps a night out at the Dubai Opera is what you need. The innovative opera house hosted one of the legendary Three Tenors on its grand opening, and regularly brings in the very best opera singers from around the world.

The Sailors

Since we started off on the beach, it’s only fair that we end in the water. Dubai is a haven for lovers of all things nautical. Dubai Marina, perhaps the most popular district in the city, is named for the large man-made yacht marina at its heart. There are boating and jet skiing races to enjoy off the city’s coastline, or you could simply enjoy a lovely dinner aboard a ‘dhow’, which is a traditional Arabian sailing vessel.

A major upcoming attraction is Dubai Harbour, which will house two massive cruise terminals and add to Dubai’s waterfront charm.

With her home wrecked by Woods’ well-publicized infidelity, she understandably did what any jilted person with a $100 million divorce settlement would do—she wrecked a home, too. But this time, the wrecking ball was to clear a path for her new life—and her new home in North Palm Beach, Florida.

Tiger Wood's ex wife Elin Nordegren bought a $12.2 million property with her divorce settlement, bulldozed it and built this upgraded nine-bedroom mansion from scratch.

Nordegren bulldozed the historic oceanfront mansion she bought in 2011 for $12.2 million (with the divorce settlement cash) and virtually built an upgraded, luxurious version of the same home. Why? According to People magazine, an architect and structural engineer suggested it made more sense (economically and structurally) to rebuild the home from scratch to bring the 1920s-built residence up to modern hurricane safety standards.

Prior to demolition, Nordegren charitably offered up the home and its contents (cabinets, fixtures, hardware, etc. totaling tens of thousands of dollars) for Habitat for Humanity. The removal of windows uncovered termite and carpenter ant damage to the 90-year-old mansion. Perhaps the home, crumbling from the inside out, was metaphor for Nordegren’s life at the time. You can’t fix a disintegrating house. Time to start over. Nordegren reportedly spent in excess of $20 million between the original residence and the rebuilt mansion, not counting a guest house secured during renovation.

Nordegren's lush property includes a large swimming pool and a cabana.

Nordegren's landscaped green with two bunkers.

According to recorded blueprints, Nordegren’s new nine-bedroom digs in the gated community of Seminole Landing boasts eight bathrooms, a 1,182-square-foot kitchen, a 1,000-square-foot master bedroom with Atlantic Ocean views, a state-of-the-art 1,102-square-foot gym, and a stadium-seating theater in the basement.

The 21,000-square-foot mansion also features a cedar-shake roof, French doors, a wine room, great room, family room, library and kids' playroom. Outdoor highlights include a swimming pool, a cabana, a Koi pond, and a putting green with two bunkers. Presumably the bunkers aren’t meant to trap bad golfers (or golfers who behave badly) but rather serve as a buffer to keep them away (you know who we mean...and he hates bunkers). Nordegren was an au pair for professional golfer and fellow Swede Jesper Parnevik and his wife, who admittedly regretted introducing her to Woods.

Elin Nordegren and Tiger Woods during a happier moment at the 2006 Ryder Cup in Ireland.

Now Nordegren is charting a new course in life—family, home, and even graduating with psychology degree from Rollins College in Orlando. Life on the golf course is filled with hazards. Nordegren negotiated those hazards with class. Judging from her new mansion, we suspect she still plays golf. She may rest easier knowing that while she’s making putts on her home green, her ex is consistently missing them on major championship greens. But then again, she has a major home course advantage.

Post Tiger Woods, Nordegren pursued and received her college degree in psychology.
