    A Music Industry Exec’s Boldly Angled Santa Barbara Wine Country Estate Lists for $10 Million

    by

    While he was living in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles about five years ago, Dan Hubbert started dreaming about owning a country home with lots of land, privacy, and animals. The former Sony, Capitol, and Columbia Records executive and his soon-to-be wife Rebecca wound up falling in love with a picturesque ranch tucked away in Central California’s Santa Ynez Valley, about 40 minutes north of Santa Barbara.

    The couple immediately knew they had to make it their own and went on to acquire the property for nearly $2.4 million and subsequently undertook an extensive renovation. Now, the current CEO of the top fitness tunes brand Power Music is putting the fully transformed spread back on the market for a dash under $10 million. Carl Gambino and John Bercsi of The Gambino Group at Compass hold the listing.

    The mountain-view living area features an angular copper fireplace and a sunken marble bar.

    Nestled beyond an olive tree-lined drive and two-acre pasture, amid a flat elevated mesa within the gated Rancho Estates community, the six-plus-acre compound is centered around a mid-1960s ranch house with three bedrooms and four baths in roughly 4,200 square feet of modern living space boasting vaulted cedar ceilings and several fireplaces complemented by brass, copper, and raked-concrete finishes. Vast expanses of glass overlook sweeping views of the Los Padres National Forest and mountains beyond.

    Once inside the steel-framed entry door, highlights include an open-concept great room anchored by a living area sporting an asymmetrical copper-clad fireplace and an Italian marble bar with wine storage. A dining area connects to the kitchen, which comes with burnt-orange cabinetry, open shelves, an eat-in island, and Wolf and Miele appliances. Elsewhere is a den bathed in a deep forest green hue and a fireside primary suite that has a big bath with a freestanding soaking tub, glassy shower, and walk-in closet.

    The circular, solar-powered pool and spa are designed to resemble an “artistic pond.”

    The oak tree-laced grounds host a fire pit, a barbecue station, and a circular infinity pool with an inset spa, along with a variety of fruit trees, berry bushes, champagne grape vines, and an olive grove that recently yielded 55 drums of extra-virgin oil. Additional structures across the property include a guesthouse with an en suite bedroom, a kitchenette, a gym, and an office, as well as a workshop, a chicken coop, and a bee house. 

    Rounding it all out: a private fiber-optic line for working remotely and a Control4 smart-home system that operates the lights, sound, and security, plus an attached two-car garage. Plans for an entertainment barn also come with the sale.

    Hubbert has chosen to sell because his wife’s mother recently passed away. “Since we’re both originally from Connecticut, and still have family there, my mom and siblings, and her dad, we’ve made the tough decision to return East to be closer to them,” he said. “We absolutely adore the Santa Ynez Valley. Our view is arguably the best in the valley. At night we fall asleep to the sounds of owls and coyotes, and wake to birdsong and clucking hens. It’s easily one of the most breathtaking places on Earth.”

      A 25-Acre Bay Area Estate Once Owned by a Co-Founder of Intel Just Listed for $30 Million

      by

      For decades, the late Intel co-founder Gordon Moore and his wife, Betty, enjoyed life at a secluded property in the sleepy Northern California town of Woodside. Just 20 minutes from the San Francisco airport but surrounded by redwood groves, heritage orchards, and private trails, the permanently protected estate is now being looked after by the Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST). But it could be yours for $29.5 million.

      Known as Mountain Meadow, the 25-acre spread has come to market for the first time since 1991, with Hugh Cornish of Coldwell Banker Realty and Erika Demma of Compass holding the listing. The English manor–style home was commissioned in 1927 as the first residential work by the architect Gardner Dailey, and the entire property was renovated from 1992 to 1994, with an additional exterior refresh taking place from 2007 to 2011.

      The spiral staircase in the office is a standout feature of the home.

      “Mountain Meadow was a refuge for the Moore family, a place of peace, and reflection and a deep connection to the rich landscape of the San Francisco Bay Area,” Eric Normington of POST said in a statement. “It is ready for a new steward who shares the Moores’ love of the natural world and who embraces this rare opportunity to become a part of the property’s unique legacy.” 

      An imposing mile-long driveway deposits you at the main residence, where the foyer opens to an old-school elevator. These sorts of vintage touches are found throughout: There’s a restored servant’s call button system and a butler’s pantry with a historic vault in which early owners stored their silver, jewelry, and china. An eye-catching spiral staircase in the warm wood office is another standout feature (it takes you up to a loft space), while the family room has a drop-down cinema screen for movie nights.

      Elsewhere in the six-bedroom, seven-bath home are five fireplaces—including in a couple of the bedrooms—and a temperature-controlled wine cellar. The ’90s reno added a spacious guest house with another four bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus a full kitchen and a covered deck.

      Early owners used the vault in the butler’s pantry to store silver and other valuables.

      Meguel Varda

      With so much outdoor space, the grounds are really the highlight here. The century-old gardens, designed by the landscape architect Bruce Porter, who also worked on the nearby Filoli estate, include a year-round creek that runs beneath a storybook bridge. Paths throughout the property take you past heritage rose gardens and a one-acre apple orchard.

      Further creature comforts: a Thomas Church–designed pool accompanied by a cabana with changing rooms, a 12-car garage with more than enough room for handy homeowners to keep a workshop, a tennis court, and a greenhouse to develop your green thumb.

      An L.A. Restaurateur and a Hollywood Actress Reimagined This $3.5 Million Lake Arrowhead Home

      by

      Lake Arrowhead has no shortage of cozy cabins and woodsy retreats, but a freshly rehabbed home in the exclusive, guard-gated community of Rainbow Point is setting a different tone—one that blends contemporary, big-city polish with rugged mountain charm. Dani Rosenthal of Wheeler Steffen Sotheby’s International Realty holds the $3.5 million listing.

      The creative minds behind the project? Hospitality entrepreneur Beau Laughlin—known for shaping stylish L.A. eateries like Sawyer, Kettle Black, and Pinky’s—and his wife, actress Lindsey Gort, whose credits include The Carrie Diaries and Lucifer. Laughlin also has a design-build company, Framework, founded back in 2018. Along with Gort, they have since made a name for themselves in the residential arena, and together, the design-savvy couple has transformed the 4,380-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bathroom mountain house in Lake Arrowhead into a serene, high-style sanctuary.

      The ample kitchen stuns with curved corners, green cabinetry, Taj Mahal marble, and a La Cornue range.

      Gavin Cater

      “We wanted the home to feel elevated but grounded—to reflect the beauty of the lake without overpowering it,” says Laughlin. That vision plays out in the soaring 22-foot wood-beamed ceilings, dramatic angular windows, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and custom walnut millwork that nods to the surrounding forest. The kitchen is a showstopper with sage green cabinetry, Taj Mahal marble counters and backsplashes, a La Cornue range, and handcrafted lighting by Gallery L7 and Ravenhill Studio. A massive T-shaped island with curved corners centers the space, flanked by fluted glass cabinets and open walnut shelving.

      Elsewhere, you’ll find dual primary suites—one with a custom walnut bed, natural stone fireplace, and spa-worthy ensuite; the other offering lake views from a bespoke white oak bed. A cozy den with a wood-burning fireplace and wet bar opens to a secluded backyard with a hot tub, perfect for winding down after a day on the water. There’s also a fitness/yoga area, a sauna-style bath, a fully custom laundry room, and an EV charger, plus access to Rainbow Point’s private dock on Meadow Bay.

      This isn’t the couple’s first joint residential project. In 2023, they put a $5.1 million price on their custom Palm Springs home, a striking, solar-powered desert retreat with a saltwater pool, San Jacinto Mountain views, and eco-conscious upgrades throughout.  

      “This home showcases a rare caliber of intentional design and sophisticated craftsmanship for Lake Arrowhead,” says Rosenthal. “It’s a game-changer for what luxury living can look like in the mountains.”

      Steven Seagal and Kelly LeBrock’s Former 190-Acre California Ranch Lists for $14.5 Million

      by

      Before Steven Seagal and Kelly LeBrock ultimately parted ways in 1996 after nine years of marriage, the polarizing martial-arts actor and Weird Science star resided at a secluded California ranch just north of Santa Barbara in the Santa Ynez Valley.

      Per online reports, the erstwhile couple initially doled out $2.8 million for a roughly 90-acre estate near Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch back in the early 1990s. They subsequently tacked on a neighboring 100-acre lot with a 50-acre vineyard for around $1.8 million before selling the whole kit and caboodle in 1995 for $3.8 million to Harold and Elizabeth Green of Chandler, Arizona, who went on to raise championship Arabian horses there.

      Now the place has just popped up on the market again for $14.5 million, with Laura Drammer of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties holding the listing.

      Described in marketing materials as “ideal for the equestrian enthusiast, vineyard developer, or anyone seeking a large-scale agricultural opportunity,” the entire four-parcel spread known as Rancho Arroyo Perdido includes a hacienda-style main house, plus guest and staff quarters, horse breeding and training facilities, and around 75 acres of fertile farmland.

      Three bedrooms and six baths can be found in the primary dwelling, which was built in the ’50s and has 5,000 square feet highlighted by a spacious living room sporting a massive stone fireplace. A rustic kitchen is outfitted with dual islands and ovens and a commercial-grade refrigerator, and elsewhere is a formal dining room, a bookshelf-lined library, and a fireside primary suite with a clawfoot soaking tub. A wine cellar/tasting room holds court in the basement, while the oak-laced grounds host a pool and spa.

      Horse-centric provisions include five barns and a covered riding arena.

      Inside Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s Growing Property Portfolio

      by

      While Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are widely celebrated for their dominance in the entertainment industry, their foray into the world of real estate has been just as impressive. Gomez, an award-winning singer, actress, and the force behind the billion-dollar cosmetic line Rare Beauty, has managed to carve out a name for herself that transcends music and Hollywood, while Blanco, a Grammy-winning producer behind some of the biggest hits in recent memory, has similarly built a legacy with his unparalleled knack for chart-topping sound. Together, the pair has amassed decades of success, and recently put out their first collaborative album, ‘I Said I Love You First.’

      Their real estate portfolio has also caught the eye of industry insiders and fans alike. Their collection, which spans from California to New York City, reflects both their artistic sensibilities and their growing commitment to diversifying their wealth. And, after years of individual investments, Gomez and Blanco recently took a major step, purchasing their first home together following their engagement last year. But don’t just take our word for it—read on to explore Gomez and Blanco’s real estate journey. 

      Casa Blanco 

      In November 2019, Blanco snapped up an ivy-clad West Hollywood estate from Tinder co-founder Sean Rad for $9.2 million and transformed it with the help of BonVivant Interiors and designer Keefe Butler of Studio BAD. The result, which he showed off to Architectural Digest, is a dreamy, 5,600-square-foot oasis featuring an alfresco dining space surrounded by lush greenery, a Mariah Carey-inspired dressing room, and a guesthouse-turned-movie theater with velvet-tufted walls. The five-bed, six-bath property sports a formal dining and living room, spacious family room, all-white chef’s kitchen, and luxurious primary suite. French doors open to a landscaped lawn and a swimming pool. 

      Beverly Hills Love Nest 

      Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco own a Spanish-style estate in Beverly Hills.

      In December of 2024, Gomez and Blanco quietly acquired a $35 million Spanish-style estate in Beverly Hills, previously owned by Joker director Todd Phillips. Originally designed in 1928 by renowned architect Wallace Neff, the meticulously restored and expanded 7,000-square-foot residence features seven bedrooms, 12 baths, and elegant period details. Two additional structures house a state-of-the-art studio, gym, and private theater. Nestled on over three-quarters of an acre, the lush grounds include a stone-encased pool and spa, a glass-walled greenhouse, and a dedicated fitness center. The off-market purchase ranked among 2024’s most expensive real estate deals. 

      Beverly Grove Spanish Bungalow 

      Blanco picked up this Spanish-Modern gem in Los Angeles back in January 2019 for $2.34 million, shortly after a full 2018 renovation gave the place a polished new identity. Tucked behind gates, the 2,000-square-foot home has three bedrooms and four bathrooms. The designer kitchen—complete with a quartz island, Bertazzoni range, and brass accents—opens onto vaulted living spaces with high-beamed ceilings and hardwood floors. The primary suite includes a skylit hallway, walk-in closet, and spa-like bath. Out back, there’s a sleek new pool and detached garage, primed for conversion. 

      Malibu Beach House 

      Before it was reduced to ashes in the Palisades Fire earlier this year, Blanco’s Malibu beach house—once owned by actor Edward Norton—was a rare slice of old-school coastal charm. Purchased in September 2018 for almost $4.4 million, the 1,000-square-foot cottage sat on Las Flores’s “Dog Beach,” with 38 feet of coveted ocean frontage and its own secret surf break. Split into two units, the home blended vintage Malibu with a laid-back, bohemian feel: exposed beams, bamboo floors, a mustard yellow wood stove, and a tiki hut perched above the sand. Norton had rented it out for $15,000 a month before ultimately selling it to Blanco, property records show.

      WeHo Mini-Compound 

      In April 2015, Blanco expanded his real estate portfolio with the purchase of a sleek, contemporary compound in the heart of West Hollywood. Acquired for $2.13 million, the 2,750-square-foot property features a spacious four-bedroom, three-bath main house and a private guesthouse. Internally, the home sports an open floor plan, a designer chef’s kitchen, and a primary suite with a grand walk-in closet and bath. The expansive yard comes complete with a swimming pool and deck. 

      New York City Condo  

      Benny Blanco sold his longtime New York City condo in April 2025 for $3.6 million.

      Kenneth Chen/Evan Joseph Studios

      Earlier this month, Blanco officially parted ways with his Manhattan bachelor pad after nearly a year on the market. Originally purchased in October 2011 for $3.45 million, the 2,200-square-foot, loft-style unit in Chelsea’s iconic Chelsea Mercantile building sold for $3.6 million in April 2025—slightly under his asking price but still a plus. The two-bedroom, three-bath home featured a combination of modern design and colorful artwork, with an expansive living area, an all-white kitchen with marble accents, and a secluded primary suite with a luxurious bath. The building offers full-service amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, gym, and landscaped rooftop. 

      Encino Estate 

      Gomez still owns a striking Encino estate once custom-built for Tom Petty and his wife, Jane Benyo, in 1989. Purchased in March 2020 for $4.9 million, the roughly 11,000-square-foot home has six bedrooms, 10 baths, and a host of luxe amenities, including a gym, massage room, wine cellar, and revamped recording studio. While extensively renovated, the estate retains its original charm. The lower level now features a creative workspace, vocal booth, and guest suite. Outside, lush canyon views frame a resort-style pool, spa, cabana, fire pit, and a cascading waterfall flowing into a tranquil stream. 

      Woodland Hills Home 

      The Only Murders in the Building star also holds the keys to a charming Woodland Hills home she purchased in 2017 for $1.8 million. Built in 1949, this private, gated estate spans half an acre and offers 3,500 square feet of living space with four bedrooms and four baths. Inside, the home features hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and an abundance of natural light. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with Wolf appliances and quartz countertops, while the family room showcases wood-beamed ceilings and a home theater. Elsewhere, the primary suite offers a walk-in closet, fireplace, and spa-inspired bath. Outdoors, enjoy a pool, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen. Gomez’s mother, Mandy, and stepfather, Brian Teefey, reside in the home.

      ‘Full House’ Creator Jeff Franklin Relists His Sprawling Beverly Hills Estate for $50 Million

      by

      It looks like Jeff Franklin, the creator of the Full House sitcom, is giving it another shot with his ultra-luxe Beverly Hills estate, but this time with a serious price chop. Originally listed in 2022 for a staggering $85 million, the palatial mansion is back up for grabs for just under $50 million—a jaw-dropping 41.8 percent discount. 

      Of course, the property’s history adds another layer of intrigue. The behemoth abode sits on the infamous site of the gruesome 1969 Manson murders, though the original home was bulldozed in the ’90s. And, talk about timing, Netflix just released its documentary Chaos: The Manson Murders earlier this month. Coincidence? Maybe.

      Dubbed Villa Andalusia, the lavish showstopper sits on over three-and-a-half private acres at the tail end of Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon and spans a mind-boggling 21,000 square feet. Designed by A-list architect Richard Landry, the mastermind megamansion specialist behind homes for Dr. Dre and the Kardashians, the estate features a total of nine bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, plus a backyard that looks more like a boutique resort than a private residence. Think waterfalls, a koi pond, a lazy river, and even a 35-foot water slide that leads to a hidden grotto.

      The pool sports multiple waterfalls, a lazy river and a 35-foot waterslide.

      Thomas Feezel from Thomas Samuel Media

      “This is one of the most exciting pools we have ever designed— it features a beach entry, steam cave, spa, waterfalls over a grotto, and a swim-up bar, not to mention the water slide and lazy river ending at an infinity edge with in-water dining and endless city views,” said Landry. 

      Inside, it only gets more extravagant. A soaring 40-foot foyer with a grand fountain sets the stage, leading to an opulent sitting room complete with a massive indoor shark tank that peeks into the dining room. The chef’s kitchen is just as impressive, decked out with a stone pizza oven, high-end appliances, and dramatic picture windows that showcase the breathtaking city-to-ocean views. The grand primary suite is a world of its own, with dual balconies, baroque wooden doors, and a spa-like bathroom offering the most commanding view on the entire property.

      And, if entertaining is your thing, this place is a dream. There’s a plush home theater, a game room, and a wet bar. There’s even a hair salon, a spa, and even a gym, not to mention a subterranean garage that fits up to 16 cars. “There is simply nothing quite like this on the market,” added Compass agent Adam Brawer. 

      The Hollywood producer purchased the then-unfinished estate more than 25 years ago for just over $6 million and spent years finishing and perfecting it. Since relocating to Miami, he’s also offered it as a fully furnished rental for $250,000 per month.
