MAKE MYSELF AT HOME

by Sarah Sinclair

ADDRESS: 1583 South Jameson Lane STATUS: On the market PRICE: $17,900,000

Ultimate Dream Home

hen I visited this Montecito beachfront home last month, I had no inkling of the crisis we’d be experiencing today. It was a warm February afternoon with the sun sparkling on the waves and a soft breeze blowing through the palm fronds. Even prior to the pandemic perspective, the house and its setting felt like the stuff dreams are made of. The house sits on an idyllic stretch of beach near the Rosewood Miramar Hotel. Tucked next to the hotel’s Miramar Club, the home is close enough to enjoy all the amenities of its swanky neighbor yet gated for privacy. I literally drove onto the grounds of the Miramar to find it, giving me a glimpse of luxury before I even arrived. The front gate opens to reveal stands of palm trees and birds of paradise surrounding a lush green lawn. The main house, guest house, and separate studio are arranged around this central courtyard — all literally steps from the sand of one of the most desirable beaches in the world. In the main house, open-beam ceilings and a natural stone fireplace grace the living room. But jaw-dropping views of the ocean steal the show. From the entryway, living room, or kitchen, a wraparound deck offers shimmering ocean views in every direction. Not only are you on the beach, but the property line extends down to the waterline, so this home owns a 110-foot stretch of the coveted coastline. Watch dolphins swim by at breakfast on your private raised patio and enjoy the sunset over dinner indoors or out. The kitchen offers all new appliances, washed oak floors, and a bright decor that combines seamlessly with

the surrounding natural beauty. A formal dining room opens both outward to the ocean and into the central courtyard, providing an elegant setting for large dinners or festive occasions. It took a lot to pull my gaze from the waves, but I was mesmerized by the fireplace with its wall made of sea fossils. Up a unique split staircase, the master bedroom wing takes maximum advantage of the home’s setting. A large private deck spans the length of the house, perfect for morning coffee, a sunny afternoon siesta, or an evening glass of wine. Sit here for a minute or two, and it’s easy to imagine waking up every morning to the scent of salty air and the sound of the waves. The deck echoes the curve of the coastline, allowing plenty of space and time to enjoy the panoramic vista from sunrise to sunset. A crisp white and gray palette continues into the master bath, with an understated contemporary aesthetic that blends perfectly with the beachfront atmosphere. Across a landing lies an additional upstairs bedroom wing. Four bright bedrooms look out to the sea, and a fifth has a private entrance, rooftop deck, and stunning mountain views. Two main floor bedrooms and a pair of offices offer flexibility for guest quarters, work-at-home options, and lots of room for kids to play. In the central courtyard, a patio with a huge built-in barbecue sets the stage for afternoon gatherings and an easy flow from the main house into the adjacent cottage and the guest studio across the lawn. These additional structures are a surfer’s fantasy with easy beach access, back patios for board storage, and outdoor showers to wash off the sand. The beach is an ever-present allure for this entire compound. Whether you’re gazing down at it from your master suite balcony or stepping right onto it from your living room deck, the sparkling ocean is yours to enjoy

year-round. The entire property lives like a fantasy island, secluded from everyday life and yet offering the best of what we love about living here. I drove back to my office musing about this ultimate dream home that’s not just at the beach but literally on it. I found myself thinking, “If I lived there, I don’t think I’d ever leave home.” Little did I know what we would all be soon experiencing. Let’s each enjoy our corner of paradise and be so thankful for what we have.

1583 South Jameson Lane is currently for sale in Montecito, listed by Riskin Partners of Village Properties Realtors. Reach Riskin Partners at (805) 565-8600 or team@riskinpartners.com.

GOING GREEN

U.S. Global Green Leadership Flounders but Is Not Dead

espite the current void in national leadership around climate change, the U.S. still maintains a global leadership position in employment and annual revenues in the green economy. Lucien Georgeson and Mark Maslin in a recent study examined the sales revenue and employment figures across many countries. They analyzed 24 economic subsectors covering renewable energy, environmental protection, and low-carbon goods and services, which

collectively they term the green economy. In 2016, the U.S. made up 16.5 percent of the global green market, the largest slice of the world pie. After the past three years of faltering support, the U.S. position as the world leader in the green economy still exists but is not as strong as it was and is more precarious. Other powers competing for the world green leader are strongly backing renewables and lowcarbon transportation. China is leading the challengers.

After spending weeks inquiring about the woman who made the sandals — not to mention hours of searching Kampala by motorcycle — she eventually tracked down a sandal maker named Lydia. The two women chatted for hours in bits of English and Swahili. This is how Hernandez, who was still in college and passionate about social entrepreneurship that empowered women, learned about a cooperative of women artisans who made the sandals in Kenya. That encounter helped to spark an idea for an ethical fashion business that could help the Kenyan artisans expand their reach to the United States — and break their cycle of poverty.

by Sara Caputo

Returning to Santa Barbara after graduating in 2015, Hernandez partnered with her mother, Lindsay McTavish, to expand RoHo (the Swahili word for kindness and spirit). RoHo now works with four artisan groups across Kenya to create consistent, fair-paying work. Its direct-to-consumer website features not only sandals but also handcrafted scarves, jewelry, coin purses, and cowhide tote bags. (See rohogoods .com.) In addition to RoHo, Hernandez has previously worked in several African countries, including Tanzania, where she was a recipient of a Princeton in Africa fellowship. Last summer, she received a Spirit of Small Business “Think Global” award from the Pacific Coast Business Times. So how does such an accomplished twenty-something social entrepreneur get it all done?

Message From The President

SIMPLY 805

In drilling down to the nitty-gritty of her productivity systems and secrets, I have to say she’s doing everything right. It’s almost as if I’d trained her myself! Which meant I had to know more about her best hacks. For one thing, Hernandez swears by Trello, the web-based list-making application. She’s a compulsive list maker and loves nothing better than to get tasks crossed off. For another, she plans out all of her social media posts. That helps her to find the time to brainstorm and find further inspiration. Finally, Hernandez says it’s important to do monthly and quarterly check-ins — including setting and reviewing goals — with her far-flung team. Here are some other tips she shared with me. What time do you wake up in the morning? I get up between 5 and 6:30 a.m., depending on the day. I’m a morning person! What’s the first thing you do? I check my email to ensure there are no immediate things to take care of, and then do some form of exercise. Either walking the dog or rowing at Lake Casitas.

What’s your email strategy? I try to check my email twice a day, in order to not get caught up in responses. That being said, if an email will take less than three minutes to answer, I try to take care of it right away. What’s your best habit? I’m disciplined at creating and fulfilling to-do lists. I’ve found mapping out goals at the beginning of a week to be helpful in keeping me on track. What’s your worst habit? If I’m not careful, I’m always thinking about work, to the point where I burn out. What’s the last thing you do at night? Listen to a podcast or audiobook. What time do you go to bed? Around 9:45. If it’s a good day, I’m in bed by 9. What does your best day look like? On my best days, I work out, and I get to cross everything off my to-do list. There’s no stress behind the work and everything flows. A great day ends with something fun, like dinner with a friend or walk with the dog.

BY STACI CAPLAN | 2020 PRESIDENT | SANTA BARBARA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®

FOR THE GREATER GOOD They require the creation of adequate housing, the building of functioning cities, the development of productive industries and farms, and the preservation of a healthful environment. Such interests impose obligations beyond those of ordinary commerce. They impose grave social responsibility and a patriotic duty to which REALTORS® should dedicate themselves, and for which they should be diligwent in preparing themselves….”

s I write this, I am aware that by the time it is published things will likely have changed, again and again, as they have daily for the past week. In the real estate community, major changes have occurred which have had a huge impact on how REALTORS® may conduct business and best serve their clients, while adhering to the safest standards. Governor Newsom and the State Public Health Officer issued Executive Order N-33-20 requiring all Californians to stay home except as needed to maintain continuity of operations in 16 infrastructure sectors. This supersedes all existing local city and county orders that are less restrictive. The real estate industry is not exempt from this prohibition except as needed to maintain “continuity of operation … of … construction, including housing construction.” Fannie Mae has issued temporary guidance on appraisal requirements, including allowing desktop and exterioronly appraisals on many mortgage transactions for eligible mortgages through May 17, 2020. Can REALTORS® show property, or hold open houses? The answer is a resounding No. REALTORS® should cease doing all face-to-face marketing or sales activities, including showings, listing appointments, open houses and property inspections. Should buyers be out looking at houses? No. Clients and other consumers are also subject to these orders and should not be visiting properties or conducting other business in person. We are ALL

Staci Caplan ordered to shelter in place for the greater good. REALTORS® across the country have been wrestling with their own personal dilemma as they are striving to continue to be of service to their clients. The spirit of the Code of Ethics, to which all REALTORS® have sworn to uphold and by which we abide, offers clear guidance during these times: “REALTORS® should recognize that the interests of the nation and its citizens require the highest and best use of the land and the widest distribution of land ownership.

Thank you to REALTORS® who are modeling safe business practices during this challenging time. There are still sellers who need to sell, and lots of pent-up buyer demand. REALTORS® can serve their clients digitally, through floor plans, digital marketing such as virtual tours and video, and digital signing platforms. Additionally, many other aspects of the real estate industry can continue to occur without in-person contact, including documentation and closings. Other activities may also be managed remotely. Call your local REALTOR® to find out how to buy or sell property virtually. Many people will be affected in the coming days. We are all in this together with the one unifying goal of minimizing the effects of this virus. We as REALTORS® choose to do what is best for the nation and our communities. Let’s do everything possible to insure the “preservation of a healthful environment” - because that’s who we R. Call your Realtor today with any questions or concerns, or contact the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors at sbaor.org.

INDEPENDENT REAL ESTATE

In light of the statewide shelter-in-place order, the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors has directed local Realtors to cancel all open houses. The Independent has therefore removed our weekly Open House Directory until further notice. Our real estate community is still working! If you are in the market to buy a home, there are many ways that Realtors can show you houses. From virtual walkthroughs, to photo tours, property videos, and more, your Realtor is a trusted expert who will guide you through the process to find your dream home. If you are ready to sell, your Realtor will help you prepare and market your home to find the right buyer at the right price. Procedures are being put in place quickly to adapt to the current situation. Your Realtor can tell you more. The Independent is still your best source for local real estate listings and information. Our website displays the complete SBAOR MLS inventory of properties for sale, and we have more local real-estate-related news than anywhere else at realestate.independent.com.
