hrough grand gates where giant palms stand as silent sentinels is the magnificent Ranch San Carlos, a 237-acre estate property that for nearly 100 years has been under the ownership of one family. This extraordinary property cascades down the foothills of Montecito and offers panoramic vistas across the valley to the shimmering blue Pacific. A long, gently curving driveway over a half-mile long is edged with Santa Barbara stone and ascends through acres of citrus groves to the sprawling hilltop manor home designed in 1931 by master architect Reginald Johnson for one of America’s most prestigious families. Johnson was the pre-eminent architect of the era and continues to

TOP 10 HOMES IN THE USA BY CLIENTELE LUXURY

be celebrated for the many notable homes he designed in Pasadena and Montecito.

His spectacular Monterey Colonial of approximately 29,483 square feet is comprised of over thirty rooms. From the vast motor court one passes through the front door and into the grand entry hall where one is immediately transported back in time to an era of elegance and refinement; where men wore formal dress and women donned Parisian couture gowns to welcome dinner guests to glittering soirees. The home is infused with an atmosphere of sophistication and refinement. The barrel vaulted central gallery which connects the sumptuous public rooms to the upper bedroom wings is lined with hand-painted period murals and windowed display cases. This grand hall sets a tone of luxury and attention to detail for which Johnson was so well known.

Reginald Johnson’s architectural ingenuity is no better showcased than in his brilliant use of the natural slope and contours of the property. He astutely sited the home on two natural terraces. By planning the formal living rooms around a central courtyard and placing the Master and family bedroom wings on the upper terrace he effectively created a spatial separation that afforded privacy, calm and exceptional views. â–

ne of the world’s greatest mansions, Freeland Farms, gleams like a jewel in the Midwest. Its 38,000-plus square feet of museum-quality construction emerges from a stunning emerald green lawn on a secluded 50-acre location. Visitors, when entering the property, note the landscape. Large, towering trees dot the vast greenery, which is home to a seven-acre private lake and multiple gardens.

The home itself captures a quality not seen since the era of the Astors and Vanderbilts. The stone main house opens to an elegant, grandiose interior reflective of a bygone era yet equipped with various modern conveniences for entertainment and family living. The property’s size further accommodates 10 buildings: the main home; a

second home measuring 5,567 square feet and offering a 3,329 square foot finished basement; a main barn with an apartment; an additional garage with an apartment above; a machine and equipment building; an office with a fireplace; a storage building; and a gazebo. As well, a 6,720 square foot horse stable is located on the grounds.

Amongst these spaces are 16 fireplaces, 16 bedrooms, 26 bathrooms, a large entertaining area, a conservatory, and a lower-level entertainment wing.

Inside the main house, impeccable stonework and detailed Amish woodworking join everything together, while the architects added a three-floor elevator, a theater and a game room for families and corporate parties, and a “wrapping” room for Christmas presents.

In addition to these characteristics, Freeland Farms is optimally set up to be a first-class horse-breeding or show farm, complete with pastures and cypress wood fencing designed with 8” by 8” notched posts. For this endeavor, Freeland Farms can be purchased with a separate 25-acre, world-class equestrian facility. No home like this exists in Midwest today.■

agnificently poised on 2.57 pristine acres on the Gulf of Mexico, on Florida’s “cultural coast,” you'll find Ohana, a breathtaking tropical hideaway inspired by the spirit of coastal South Africa and southern Indonesia.

Take a few steps toward the shore to miles of wide sandy beach, where days are beautifully-spent soaking up the Florida sun, which seems to shine just a little brighter over Ohana.
