REFLECTING ON 16 YEARS AS PUBLISHER OF HOMES &
LAND: EMBRACING THE NEXT CHAPTER
It’s hard to believe that over thirty years have passed since my career began with Homes & Land, and sixteen since I first took the helm as publisher of this Homes & Land edition. Looking back, I feel an overwhelming sense of pride and gratitude for the incredible journey I’ve had in this role. From overcoming challenges to celebrating the milestones, my time as publisher has been a deeply rewarding experience, one that has shaped both my career and my life. Yet, after much thought and reflection, I’ve decided that it’s time to turn over the reins and step into the next chapter of my journey.
When I first began with Homes & Land, the magazine was already an established name, but there was so much potential to unlock. It was a time when the real estate industry was rapidly evolving, and so was the media landscape. Through dedication, hard work, and a passion for the industry, I was able to help guide Homes & Land through the changing tides, embracing new technologies, expanding our audience, and elevating the magazine’s reputation in the real estate community.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with an incredible team who shared in my vision and supported our collective goals. Together, we saw the magazine grow in both circulation and influence, becoming a go-to resource for homeowners, buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals. One of the most gratifying aspects of this role has been connecting with the vibrant real estate community, meeting and working with so many talented realtors, and being part of a publication that truly makes a difference. Whether it was through showcasing homes in stunning photo spreads or sharing valuable market insights, Homes & Land has always been more than just a magazine—it’s been a trusted guide for people in one of the most important decisions of their lives.
The experience I’ve gained as publisher has been invaluable. I’ve learned so much about leadership,
innovation, and what it means to build something meaningful. But as much as I have cherished my role in growing and nurturing the magazine, I feel that it is now time for me to pass the baton. The landscape of real estate and media continues to evolve, and while I’m incredibly proud of all that we’ve accomplished, I believe it’s time for Homes & Land to enter the next phase of its journey.
I am confident that the talented team taking over is the right group to take Homes & Land to new heights. They possess the vision, expertise, and resources necessary to expand the magazine’s reach and continue innovating in ways that I could only have dreamed of when I first started. This decision has been bittersweet, but I believe it’s the right one. I am excited for what the future holds for Homes & Land and for the entire team.
As I look forward to the next chapter of my life, I am filled with excitement and anticipation. While my time as publisher of Homes & Land has come to a close, I will forever cherish the memories, the relationships, and the satisfaction of having played a role in the publication’s success. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity, and I look forward to seeing how the next generation of leadership will continue to shape Homes & Land for years to come.
So, as you endeavor to step into your next journey with the home of your dreams, please keep in mind to practice patience and be kind. And as always, we wish you and your families safe and healthy days ahead.

Nestled behind the gates of premier Lynnmere Estates in Thousand Oaks, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Wildwood Regional Park*, a remarkable family of four found their perfect home. Originally from South America, this dynamic couple—both dedicated medical doctors and researchers—embarked on an inspiring journey to the United States to pursue their passion for science and innovation.
“We came from Colombia eight years ago and have lived here for more or less five years,” shares Paul. Their pursuit of knowledge led them to California, where they not only found groundbreaking research opportunities but also a vibrant and welcoming community to call home.
Carolina and Paul found 2275 Watertown Court through their realtor who took all of their wishes into consideration. Set on a 17,000 square foot lot, the 3,667 square foot home features five bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a soundproof climate-controlled flex space, perfect for a music studio, office or gamer’s haven!
Why you chose this area? “We are a young family. We wanted a safe neighborhood surrounded by a national park with a mix of wilderness and city vibe, a gated community close to the best schools in the Conejo Valley, and near the major hospital (we are both physicians),” shares Carolina.
The couple was immediately greeted by the open light-filled interior of the home that boasted vaulted ceilings and a dramatic curved staircase in the two-story entryway. “We were taken in by the panoramic views that mixed nicely with a resort-size rectangular pool plus areas for children to play, and RV parking,” Carolina continues. “The area has plenty of hiking roads, close proximity to Paradise Falls**, private access to Wildwood Park, presents a nice opportunity to have fruit trees and offers a property that could be tailored to our desired look and needs”.
The entire saltwater pool system has been upgraded with automated features including lights and water jets for the children’s amusement and a fully automated spa controlled by an app that allows you to warm it up from your smart phone. From the pool/spa, one can relax and experience the amazing views of scenic mountains and Arroyo Conejo. A new built-in barbecue kitchen with outside wine fridge along with multiple covered patios, a fire pit and new decking surrounding the pool area complete the al fresco lounging and dining experience.
“We also added artificial turf for areas outside and inside for the kids to have their playground and reduce water usage, combined with natural grass to have a mix of ecologic features and a water-saving one,” shares Paul. “We remodeled the upstairs deck coming off the main bedroom suite with new railings, reinforced materials, new non-slip floor decking, and allow us to lock the door for the kids to safely play in this area. The views from this expansive upper deck are the best in the house.”
Along with their improvements, Carolina and Paul updated the front exterior design with fresh landscape, wooden doors, artificial turf and planting several trees to provide more privacy. They also brought their touch to the home’s interior with new finishes, new wood-like floors, double pane windows for all the upstairs rooms and fully remodeling the gourmet kitchen to reshape it into a more family-friendly and optimized space with a huge island, sleek quartz countertops, gas cooktop, double wall ovens, and a breakfast bar. A large bay window family eating area looks out to serene views.
A wet bar serves both the spacious fireside formal living room and elegant dining room where family and guests gather during holidays and other happy celebrations.
Beyond their professional and academic pursuits, this family embraces a life of balance and joy. Mom finds peace and strength through yoga, meditation and fitness, while Dad enjoys the rhythm

of playing drums, the art of barbecuing, and staying active. Together, they cherish outdoor adventures, quality time in their beautiful home, and the sense of belonging they have found in their community.
What makes this home unique for you? “It is the perfect combination of safety, great schools close by, amazing views, club-like feel with saltwater Pebble-Tech pool, outdoor barbecue kitchen, open spacious kid’s play area, and RV spaces. As a musician myself, I need a good space so there is an area that is sound isolated that can fit many purposes,” adds Paul. “This is the ideal place to thrive with your family, be safe and have, not only everything in your house but, access to a very private play ground in the community.”
How has this home worked for your lifestyle? “For my wife and I, it was important that our home be in close proximity to a level 4 hospital setting. We also desired a great place to go running for physical and mental fitness.”
Automated pool tools for kids and grown-ups make a wonderful private resort-like experience every weekend in this mild climate year-round. An ample side backyard with artificial turf allows the children to safely play. The couple added a trampoline and several structures for them to play and develop key motor skills. The generous fireside family room features a surround sound system and theater-like experience.
The luxurious main suite includes a sprawling deck to sip coffee each morning or refresh from an active day in front of spectacular sunsets--a backdrop offering the most tranquil panorama of nature year-round with steps leading down to the pool and spa area. Two large walk-in wardrobes are outfitted with custom storage systems, and a private en suite is designed for two boasting a free standing tub, spa-like shower system and a triple vanity with a sit-down make-up area flanked by separate grooming stations.
Story by Andrea Bernstein Rodarte
Where does your family spend the most time? “My wife loves the spa, and our bedroom deck for yoga, mental fitness and relaxation at the beginning and end of day,” Paul said. “I enjoy the soundproof flex room--a place where I can happily play my drums without disturbing people inside or outside the house. I also like the sound systems, and barbecuing while my family plays in the pool.”
Together Carolina, Paul and their children mostly spend time in the family room, backyard and side yard where they are sure to experience club-like activities in a private setting. “It feels like we have everything we could want in the house and there is no need to go anywhere else for fun!”
With five bedrooms (four up/one down), each child has their own bedroom. “Their spacious bedrooms allow them to focus on their own activities while family time usually means having lots of fun playing sports, swimming, singing practice, enjoying music and watching movies,” shares their mother. A big full bathroom serves the three 2nd floor bedrooms. The fifth guest bedroom and a full bathroom are downstairs.
Special Events? Parties? “We hosted a memorable party with 70 guests where we had live music. We love to entertain and barbecue for family and friends including neighbors. The outdoor poolside kitchen features a stainless steel BBQ, appliances and sink,” says Paul. “The crowd of kids in the neighborhood allows for special dates like Halloween to be memorable. Children of all ages have the opportunity to make really good friends here. Lynnmere HOA organizes epic parties at the park. Planning hikes with neighbors to Paradise Falls has been outstanding.”
Both children thrive in the area’s exceptional public schools, where they continue to develop their talents and passions.
Their story is one of love, resilience, and the pursuit of dreams—a testament to the beauty of embracing change and finding joy in both work and family.
Lynnmere is a family-friendly neighborhood that is home to many new families with children of all ranges of age that allows for them to play safely inside the gated community and build their network as well.
As one lovely family relocates to the next chapter in their busy lives, another will have the opportunity to call this outstanding luxurious estate ‘home’.
