ON THE COVER Zoey Deutch in Valentino.

ILLUSTRATION: DAVID DOWNTON

ome fall, I find myself craving autumnal moments in a place of eternal sunshine. So where better to dive into the new season than in the Santa Ynez Valley— our neighbor to the north? The Western vibes only add to the nostalgia of yesteryear in a place that prizes the slower pace of life while still celebrating all that our region has to offer. Take polo legend Memo Gracida who chose to make the valley his home with his wife, Meghan, recently after having lived and traveled the world extensively. His plot of paradise is the perfect perch for his equestrian center and new polo academy. Famed photographer Dewey Nicks visited the Gracidas on their sprawling La Herradura Ranch (“A Lucky Horseshoe,” page 94) to document a day in the life on their idyllic Santa Ynez homestead. Speaking of homesteading, The Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort has been a part of familial gatherings for decades. Multi-generations come for the traditions of years past and to get back to nature…. And while some may say don’t mess with perfection, design darling Nathan Turner saw the potential to take it to the next level. His eye transformed three cottage suites into the Turner House—the ultimate “Ralph Lauren-inspired” country getaway. To celebrate the launch of the new space, Turner invited a few friends/city slickers (“Western Exposure,” page 114 ) up for the ultimate day of cowboy dreams complete with a full breakfast ride. Riding is a big part of the valley lifestyle, but at Rancho La Zaca, great wine, company,

and entertaining take center focus. East Coast transplant Frances Schultz, a former magazine editor and author, regularly opens her gates to guests as often as she can. So much so that she is releasing a cookbook including some of the unforgettable soirées that have taken place on the ranch (“California Spirit + Southern Charm,” page 106). While the elegant interiors inform some of Schultz’s hospitality aesthetics, I venture to say it is the wine country’s verdant landscape that is the real inspiration. And when thinking of muses, while most of our feature well is an ode to Santa Ynez and its charms, Santa Barbara and its denizens are the background/ inspiration for the first season of Netflix’s The Politician (created by wunderkinds Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk of Glee and American Horror Story fame). The political satire set in a fictional Santa Barbara high school is packed with Hollywood star power. With Gwyneth Paltrow (a former UCSB student who has always loved this town and is now a part-time Montecitan) producing and taking a lead role in the production alongside Broadway phenom Ben Platt and the legendary Jessica Lange, it’s sure to be the fall season’s big TV hit. Our cover subject, rising star Zoey Deutch, is also at the heart of the show and garnering the entertainment industry’s full attention. We spotlight the petite yet ever-present actress in the season’s “power suit” menswear trends for “ZOEY” (page 84). Horses, vineyards, and rolling hills dotted with oaks all add to my sentimental autumnal yearnings, and there’s no better place to experience it than in our own backyard (and in this issue). Happy trails….

CONTRIBUTORS A N N A F ER G US O N -S PA R K S “I’m really digging the Lompoc murals. Public art fans should definitely consider a visit,” says the Santa Ynez Valley local who has her finger on the pulse of what’s happening over the hill (“Bits & Bites,” page 76 and “Head North,” page 79). “And rounding up food and drink businesses in these regions is always a refreshing reminder of how our culinary scene is thriving.” S.Y. VALLEY MUST DOS Tiki Tuesday at High Roller Tiki Lounge. • Midweek strolls around Solvang. • La Purisima for tranquil walks.

Contributors J O H N R US S O “As a commercial photographer, finding time to shoot something that’s purely your own creative expression is difficult,” says the Angeleno who photographed Angela Lindvall for “Untamed Beauty” (page 51). “This shoot was my opportunity to do just that, and the day couldn’t have gone more incredibly.” S.B. MUST DOS Day hikes in the mountains of Montecito. • Photographic journeys through the Santa Ynez Valley. • Ending the day with a stop at Olio e Limone.

VICTORIA P E ARSON “It was wonderful to meet someone with such style and passion about what they do,” says the Ojai-based photographer who captured designer Susie Crippen at home for “Out of Africa” (page 54). “And it was inspiring to see what Nathan Turner has done with a classic California dude ranch [“Western Exposure,” page 114]. Shooting at the Alisal was like a mini vacation.” OJAI MUST DOS Knitting with my friends at Cattywampus. • Bart’s Books, naturally. • The Ojai Raptor Center.

DEGEN P ENER “The Politician is one of the shows I’m most excited about seeing this fall, so I was thrilled to interview Zoey Deutch about starring in it and about how much she’s fallen in love with Santa Barbara,” says the Los Angeles-based writer who profiled the actress for “ZOEY” (page 84). S.B. MUST DOS I love the plant-based food at Oliver’s. You don’t even really think about the fact that it’s a vegan restaurant, it’s just great cuisine. • The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is gorgeous and shows all the remarkable native California plants that thrive with low water. • I frequently stop into Chocolate Maya for sweets from around the world.

Something’s Cooking “The kitchen is the heart of any home, where people come together and share their lives,” notes Rev. Randall Day, rector of St. Mark’sin-the-Valley in Los Olivos. So it’s appropriate that the vision for the SANTA YNEZ VALLEY COMMUNITY KITCHEN—which is expected to open this autumn on the St. Mark’s campus—is also collaborative and nourishing in the broadest possible sense. Developed through conversations with organizations and individuals trying to address food insecurity in the county, the project “fits with our other outlooks in terms of what a church is,” says Day. A fully appointed commercial kitchen had been built at St. Mark’s in 1992, he says, but it was woefully underused. With a few additions— four sinks, an upgraded hood vent, and a

cleanable wall finish, totaling about $150,000— the kitchen could be officially permitted. As for what to do with it, the ideas have multiplied: a training venue for local restaurant workers, a place for free kids’ or family lunches on weekends and in summer, a recovery kitchen to preserve gleaned food, a spot to teach folks to cook economically, and more. Chef Bethany Markee, who has won plaudits for her school and community lunch programs, was hired in July to oversee the build-out and set up procedures. Monies are in place, though donations are always welcome, and small popup fund-raisers will undoubtedly continue. There will be opportunities for organizations to volunteer, too. Above all, Day wants to emphasize the larger vision: “The kitchen is meeting needs, but there’s also a human element. We’ll work together, and we’ll all be fed—with food, connection, and a shared identity.” 2901 Nojoqui Ave., Los Olivos, 805-688-4454, smitv.org. JOAN TAPPER

Out of Africa

The woman who introduced America to the skinny jean in 2004 as cofounder of J. Brand Jeans is launching a new line of Ugandan-made clothing born out of a cosmic connection. While trekking in Africa last year, SUSIE CRIPPEN visited a center called Ride 4 Women that supports women struggling with issues around HIV, domestic violence, and poverty and teaches them trade skills, such as pedal sewing. There, shopping for textiles, she met the organization’s founder, Evelyn Habasa, and the two experienced what Crippen calls nothing less than “divine intervention.” Their chance encounter came during an intentional career hiatus for the designer, yet she felt something so strong, she returned to make 100 dresses with Evelyn, which she brought home to Ojai and sold at trunk shows. Soon at a party (wearing one of her new dresses) she told everyone she was moving abroad, recalling, “my energy was already there, my soul was living in Africa.” This fall, Crippen is moving to a small town in Kenya (“a little bit like the Ojai of Nairobi,” she says) to debut her new company, 4 by Susie Crippen—a sustainable partnership with Habasa’s organization that sells their designs direct to the 52 f a l l 2 0 1 9

Susie Crippen shifts her design eye toward tribal prints with a purpose

consumer. Four styles of dresses, skirts, and shirts (from $175) are 100 percent cotton wax batik that get softer with each wear—“like raw blue jeans back in the day.” Everything is hand-cut and hand-sewn on pedal machines in Habasa’s studio, and the prints are endless, just like Crippen’s entrepreneurial spirit. Whatever Crippen does, she does it with an artful eye, a renowned aesthetic, and gut intuition—whether it’s perfecting the ideal wash for groundbreaking jeans, sculpting curves in ceramics, or designing a feel-good home. In renovating her Ojai house (with architect Darwin McCredie, builder Scott Supan, landscaper Paul Hendershot, and early assistance from Channon Roe) she sat in empty rooms for three weeks, visualizing and sketching how she wanted to feel in it. The result had her removing 13 French doors to get the right amount of coziness, adding, “it’s good to get away from the sun sometimes.” So out of the Ojai sun she goes, following her intuition into another country and another creative collaboration. “You have to dig deep into your creative intuition and follow what you like,” she says. “We all have a path. This is my path. This is what I’m supposed to be doing.” @thisis4official. JENNIFER BLAISE KRAMER

The name fuses those of its owners—Heather Sacre and James Carona—longtime gallerists with four other locales (Palm Desert, San Francisco, Jackson Hole, and New York City). Montecito is their newest outpost, a pristine 2,000-square-foot facility featuring a wide variety of blue-chip artwork “Impressionism, modern post-war, and contemporary,” says gallery director Tom Venditti, whose art world chops include a 14-year stint helming Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen’s extensive art collection.

A raffish portrait of Scottish fishermen, a moody image of Tinturn Abbey, a Civil War camp view— these are just a few of the groundbreaking prints in “Salt & Silver, Early Photographs, 1840-1860” on view from September 8 through December 8 at the SANTA BARBARA MUSEUM OF ART. Salted paper prints from the mid-1800s— the invention of William Henry Fox Talbot— “represented a tectonic shift in how people saw the world and themselves,” says photography and new media curator Charlie Wylie. “The immediacy of photography must have been astonishing. Landscape, architecture, portraiture, cultural artifacts…all these genres exploded.” Salted paper prints had a dreamy, luminescent quality prized by artistic practitioners of the new art, but later photographic processes proved to be easier and more economical, eclipsing Talbot’s method. These rarely seen works from the Wilson Centre for Photography, London, allow us a glimpse into the exciting mix of art and science that revolutionized an earlier age. 1130 State St., Santa Barbara, 805-963-4364, sbma.net.

Featuring an ambulatory self-guided tour of more than 15 downtown art galleries and more than 100 artists, it’s the brainchild of Jan Ziegler, director of 10 West Gallery—and an artist in her own right—who hopes the festival will become an annual event. “I’m producing this festival to

True Colors

Seine, oil on canvas, 42 x 36 in.

HUGH MARGERUM is utterly fearless about color. The Santa Barbara artist infuses his abstract paintings with exuberant tonalities that impart a singular mood to each piece. It’s a result he achieves using oil paint, which is notoriously slow to dry. Working on several paintings simultaneously—often over several months— Margerum documents their evolution through photography in order to evaluate his ongoing efforts with fresh eyes. Although many artists find a blank canvas terrifying, Margerum finds it invigorating. Finishing a painting, on the other hand, is difficult...but satisfying. “It’s like poetry,” he ventures, “when the last word in a poem is just perfect and it ends in silence. Sometimes, with a painting it’s that last brush stroke or the last few things that you do to it that finally makes it work, but I like the viewer not to have any idea what came first or second. It’s like compression of time.” A diligent student of art history, Margerum’s artistic influences range from Proto-Renaissance fresco painter Giotto to 20th-century artist Phillip Guston. His work is widely exhibited and collected. Margerum is also known for his avid support of Santa Barbara’s historic Presidio Neighborhood and for his involvement in the Margerum Wine Company as manager of web sales and the wine club.

WILD AT HEART Since opening its doors nearly 20 years ago, the WILDLING MUSEUM OF ART & NATURE has used art to educate, inspire, and encourage conservation of our natural and wilderness areas. Founded by Santa Barbara artist Patti Jacquemain, the Solvang-based museum has exhibited work by (among others) landscape headliners Ansel Adams, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Maynard Dixon. Each year, more than 12,000 people enjoy the Wildling’s programs, including art classes, film screenings, lectures, and more. This fall, the museum is presenting “Santa Barbara County & Beyond: Recent Photographic Landscapes by George Rose” from November 16 through March 2020. A Solvang resident and former photojournalist, Rose was on staff at the Los Angeles Times and the NFL, and his images have appeared in numerous publications including Time, Newsweek, and Rolling Stone. He subsequently spent 25 years as a communications director in the wine industry but never abandoned his camera (he managed to produce four books of his eye-pleasing photos along the way). The Wildling Museum show features images from Rose’s most recent tome, Wine Country Santa Barbara County ($80, georgerose.com). 1511-B Mission Dr., Solvang, 805-6881082, wildlingmuseum.org. L.D.P.

LORI STERN: I love to decorate with fresh herbs and edible flowers. The secret is actually the easiest thing ever—just toss them lightly on top so they scatter a little. That way, the placement doesn’t look too intentional, and it has a natural, wild feel. RIP & TAN: The warmer months have some of us avoiding the heat of our ovens—how can we keep cooking at home without turning the kitchen into a sweat lodge? LORI STERN: Alfresco dishes are a go-to in my kitchen, like room-temperature salads featuring different raw or flash-cooked vegetables, a touch of grated hard or crumbled soft cheese, and a quick dressing or sauce. RIP & TAN: What are some easy go-to meals or snacks to prepare for last-minute guests? LORI STERN: I love serving grazing boards with vegetables, mezze, or cheese. They’re extremely easy to throw together last minute, and guests love the variety of flavors, textures, and colors. I always have homemade crackers on hand, which ups the ante more than anything else on the board. • 75

he entire week that actress Zoey Deutch spent exploring Santa Barbara recently, she wished that she had brought her dogs with her. “I discovered that Santa Barbara is the most dog-friendly town in the world, and there is nothing that I love more than a dogfriendly environment,” says Deutch, who has five dogs, including a rescued pit bull mix named Maybelle (whose face is tattooed on her ankle). “My boyfriend and I took our books and read in the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden for hours, and we were like, ‘Why didn’t we bring our dogs?’” Deutch was visiting Santa Barbara for work. This fall, the 24-year-old actress stars in one of the most anticipated new Netflix shows of the year, Ryan Murphy’s The Politician, which centers on a student at a private school (played by Ben Platt) running to become president of the student council. Deutch plays a seemingly sick student who becomes his running mate. The show, which premieres September 27 and also stars part-time Montecitan Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Lange, is set in a fictional and quite rarefied Santa Barbara. “It’s a satirical examination of privilege and wealth, and it brings the audience inside this elite circle that we love to love and love to judge. Every character in this show harbors a very dark secret— money offers opportunities, but it also corrupts,” says Deutch, who is on the phone for this interview from New York City, where she’s visiting her grandmother. (“I’m making her meals all day and making sure she’s happy,” she says.) “The Politician is very much

a combination of everything you love about Ryan Murphy—all the style, all the pedigree, there are layered characters and biting wit and great costumes.” The Politician didn’t actually shoot any scenes in Santa Barbara (Fullerton High School was one of the stand-ins), but when it came time for the press junket, the cast and creators set up at the Belmond El Encanto. “That hotel is so beautiful,” says Deutch. After press duties were over, the actress and her boyfriend stayed on in Santa Barbara to attend a friend’s wedding at the Rosewood Miramar Beach hotel. Among the spots they hit while in town were Cold Spring Tavern (“You feel like you’ve gone through a time machine. I really want to go back on a Sunday and see the live music,” she says); the Funk Zone, where she recommends indulging in the cheddar grits at The Lark and then sipping Frosés at Lucky Penny; and Mexican favorite La Super-Rica. “I literally think I ordered almost one of everything on the menu. They thought I was insane. It lived up to the hype. It was unbelievably good,” says Deutch, who also stars as a prototypical Valley Girl this fall in the horror comedy film Zombieland: Double Tap along with Emma Stone and Woody Harrelson. “I play a version of Paris Hilton 2009 in a long blonde wig and a Juicy Couture track suit and fake long nails,” she says. “After 24 years of studying the valley accent, it finally came into use.” Deutch grew up in the San Fernando Valley, the daughter of actress Lea Thompson (Back to the Future) and director Howard Deutch (Pretty in Pink). But while she attended a private school when she was younger, for high school she went to a public magnet school, the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts near downtown, which sounds like the polar opposite of the high school portrayed in The Politician. “My high school was an extremely positive experience. I was around people who knew what they wanted to do with their lives,” says Deutch, who has been acting professionally since she was 15. “They had passions besides being popular or getting invited to whatever party. It was refreshing to be around people my age who didn’t feel entitled and who felt like they wanted to work for what they wanted.” •

ou can’t miss the gleaming silver. Sit down to chat with Guillermo “Memo” Gracida and his wife, Meghan, in their Santa Ynez ranch house, and your eye inevitably turns to the shelves of shining trophies and statues that honor his achievements as a top world polo player. There’s a replica of the U.S. Polo Open cup, which Memo has won 16 times in his career. There’s the coveted fluted bowl from the Argentine Open, the Gold Cup of the Americas trophy, and the British Queen’s Cup, which Elizabeth II presented to Memo twice. The hardware is impressive, but what Memo really wants to talk about is why he and Meghan have now relocated to this area and his vision for the property they call La Herradura. The word means “horseshoe,” he says, and it hearkens back to the name of the Mexican polo team Memo’s father fielded with his siblings. “They were the only set of four brothers to win the U.S. Open,” he says proudly. “That was in 1946. Father was a great mentor. He taught me to play and gave me a love of the sport.” And that’s what Memo is now hoping to pass on to others at La Herradura by teaching and coaching both people and horses. “We came to the New World of the West Coast with energy to create a polo center. This place is a dream for a horse lover,” he says. “It’s the ultimate horse property.” Memo has been coming to this part of California for the last 30 years, usually just for three or four

It’s the ultimate horse property.” weeks at a time as part of the professional circuit that moves from Palm Beach to England, Santa Barbara, Texas, New York, and Argentina. He happened to be here in September 2012, waiting out a hurricane in Florida, when he met Meghan, whose roots are in Santa Ynez and San Luis Obispo. When she began working in West Palm Beach a few months later, they reconnected and, after a whirlwind courtship, married almost five years ago. They bought the 45-acre ranch—a onetime Arabian horse farm—in December 2017. The 3,800-square-foot house on the property, built in 1973, needed more than a little work. Walls were removed, the kitchen and master suite renovated, and the exterior totally redesigned, with other changes still to come. But the equestrian facilities—including barns, 60 stalls, fences, and paddocks—were all horse ready. There are three large barns, including one with living quarters for half a dozen grooms, and 13 big pastures. “We have 100 horses, both ours and other people’s,” says Memo, “and our days are spent looking after them—working them, resting them, training them every day. We also run clinics and matches. It’s a three-ring circus!” “People come for clinics and lessons from all over the world,” he continues. “There aren’t so many polo schools on the West Coast. My goal is to get new blood in the game and teach all different levels. We have ideal beginners’ horses—responsive and well-trained—and a safe environment with a staff dedicated to producing the best service.” And the polo players—newbies and veterans alike—are learning from one of the best. Memo held a 10 handicap—the highest rating— consecutively for 21 years, and though he doesn’t play competitively as often now, he enjoys teaching others. That includes Meghan, who had never ridden before but now holds a 3 woman’s handicap and plays regularly on La Herradura’s women’s team. “She’s a great athlete,” Memo says. “She can ride any horse.” “I get great satisfaction from seeing a person learn to make a great play,” he continues, “and seeing young horses and young players do something new.” Until recently, weekend matches as well as riding lessons and stick-and-ball sessions have taken place at Piocho ranch, five minutes away. But as of September, there’s a new polo field at La Herradura. Creating the venue has been a

We were lucky to get a lot of fill from the mudslides to even it out. Then we seeded it. You have to let the weeds grow out, then you can kill them. It’s taken a year and a half start to finish.” The Gracidas hope to develop other fields in the future, with the goal of building a club with 150 members. Polo is “great for people who have been successful in life and are looking for a challenge,” says Memo. “But there haven’t been a lot of opportunities to learn, or a place nearby where people can try the game and see if they like it.” In fact, even though people may think of the Santa Ynez Valley as horse country, the number of animals has dwindled as ranch land has been converted to vineyards. Meghan points out that for Memo, the important things are his family, horses, and polo, and indeed he’s a superb advocate for the sport. “When you’re on the field,” he says, “you’re not thinking about anything else.

Trained at The Culinary Institute of America in New York and a star protégée of legendary Chicago restaurateur Charlie Trotter, Valentine also served as executive chef at Roxanne’s, a premier raw food restaurant in San Francisco. Says Frances in her book’s Cook Notes, “While I appreciate the many beneficial qualities of raw foodism, Stephanie no longer subscribes. Nothing against raw food-ists, but thank goodness.” She continues, “The California Cooking in the title is as much about place as it is about food. Our Central Coast is blessed with a year-round growing season and some of the best farmers and winemakers in the country. We created recipes for what we love to eat ourselves. Our aim is not to be startlingly original, and the recipes aren’t complicated. Some do take time. It’s a labor of

he Southern Style of the title is epitomized by Frances herself and what she brings to her brand of hospitality, which she sees as a calling. “Hospitality—if we allow it, if we intend it—connects us to one another and to community.” “How we do love our Santa Ynez Valley. Which, by the way, I did not know before coming to it. Somehow I’d missed this gorgeous enclave a stone’s throw from Santa Barbara. It was worth the wait.” And so begins the latest book by lifestyle maven and transplanted insouciant Southerner Frances Schultz—California Cooking and Southern Style: 100

No one says it’s a ‘nothing-to-it’ of love. Isn’t the creating half the fun? This is tried, true, doable, and delicious home cooking of the kind that makes us feel warm and welcome, with a fresh California spirit and a spirited Southern charm. Like a good old friend we haven’t seen in a while, familiar but with new tales to tell.” “Good food and a harmonious setting feed both the body and the soul,” she says. Fortunately, the setting was already there. “Occasionally I dress it up with flowers and such, but the backdrop of our Rancho La Zaca is inspiration in itself.” Situated along the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail, Rancho La Zaca is part of an original Mexican land grant comprising vineyards, oak savannas, valleys, and mountains as far as the eye can see. The setting no doubt appealed as well to previous owner and actor James Garner, who built the current Hugh Newell Jacobsen-designed, contemporary-style house Schultz and Dittmer live in today. Writes Schultz, “Mr. Jacobsen was a favorite of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who had him design her house in Martha’s Vineyard. Funnily enough, the Garners bought the property from actor-director Herbert Ross, then married to Jackie’s sister, Lee Radziwill.” Today’s guests, admits Schultz, “are mostly unfamous but ever-cordial family, friends, and those who might become friends.” As long as they do not use their cell phones at the table, she adds. “I cannot believe there are people who still do that.” With her Southern manners intact, spirited humor, stylish grace, and some 100 recipes and as many photos, Schultz’s book also marks the chapter following her popular The Bee Cottage Story: How I Made a Muddle of Things and Decorated My Way Back to Happiness. A memoir cum decorating chronicle set in The Hamptons, this poignant and funny tale ends in California with a question mark. The question for now seems well answered in California Cooking and Southern Style. With typical irreverence Schultz notes, “I should have made the new book’s subtitle How I Went from Down in the Dumps to One Dinner Party After Another.”•

rail rides, barbecues, and summer rodeos are all part of local Western traditions at The Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort. The renowned Santa Ynez Valley property has been entertaining visitors with its ranch hospitality since it opened in 1946, attracting Hollywood celebrities like Clark Cable and Doris Day and bringing back families year after year to enjoy the tranquil yet exhilarating outdoor atmosphere. Now entertaining guru and author Nathan Turner has added his sophisticated touch to the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mix of accommodations, designing a luxurious three-bedroom cottage appointed with California-Monterey furnishings. To herald the unveiling of the Turner House suite, a dozen or so friends came to take part in a celebratory weekend, beginning with an evening party and followed the next morning by a breakfast ride to the Old Adobe, one of the historic structures on the 10,500-acre ranch. Once there, the

group found seats at the long table under the trees and tucked into a feast of the Alisal’s acclaimed flapjacks, eggs, bacon, and wake-you-up coffee. To heighten the mood, they were entertained by a campfire singer and cowboy poet. “It was a proper cowboy breakfast in the most beautiful setting,” says Elizabeth Chambers, one of the guests. (She hails from Texas, so she ought to know!) She adds, “The music and storytelling set the tone for a wonderful meal with incredible company and the best apple fritters I’ve had in a long time.” As for Turner House, the designer took his inspiration from his years growing up on a northern California ranch. Turner is a fourthgeneration Californian, and he filled the suite (from $1,000 per night, including breakfast and dinner) with vintage refinished furniture, Indian rugs and baskets, Ralph Lauren fabrics, and Pendleton accessories, then added dramatic accents like reclaimed barnwood paneling and river-rock facing on a fireplace in the great room. The result is rustic but refined; it seems as though the rooms have always looked this way. “I designed the Turner House so that you feel as though you’re stepping into your own ranch house,” he says, “yet one with all of the wonderful benefits that make the Alisal so special.” Updating the cottage in a traditional way is completely in keeping with the overall ambience of the ranch, which maintains a no-telephone, no-television serenity in its accommodations. “The Turner House truly embodies the Jackson family’s
