California Soul
Curated by
Owned by a former professional cyclist, this home is full of low-gear charm. A deft blend of Craftsman and mid-century vibes and a setting among the trees just across the Golden Gate Bridge make it a West Coast must.
Two San Franciscans created a Sunday-inspired sanctuary in Sonoma wine country. Spanning two acres, your casa within it lies creekside and has its own solar heated pool and jacuzzi. Come any day of the week; you'll always get that relaxed, end-of-the-week feeling.
Silence your nature sounds app and let the real thing take over here. This home has patios right on the rushing river's edge, perfect for dramatic al fresco dining, and is located in the awe-inspiring Sequoia National Forest - prepare to feel small in the absolute best way.
On one of the state's most desirable stretches of coastline is a classic ranch style home that has been given a stylish contemporary makeover. We love its adorable garden space - perfect for letting a famous California golden hour pass before your lucky eyes.
THE ROCK BRENTWOOD, LOS ANGELES
Brentwood is the leafy, wholesome neighborhood of Los Angeles where the non-flashy A-listers quietly exist in paradisal peace. Case in point: here is a bright, family-oriented home with an uber-private, meticulously landscaped backyard and pool
PANORAMA ZEN OASIS, STINSON BEACH
This woodsy, laid-back experience is the ultimate California retreat. Tucked above the stunning coastal slopes of Mount Tamalpais overlooking the Pacific, this large two-story home has plenty of room to entertain and spread out.
We all need a dose of that soothing ocean surf. Make waves in Malibu, hotbed of California surf culture, at this vacation home that's situated right on the sand. In fact, enjoy almost 70 feet of your own private beach. The only thing that can compete for equal magic is that view.
Palm Springs is forever as cheery as its mid-century forms and juicy fruit-hued color palette. Take the tangerine trim on Orbit In here, a 1957-born beauty built for poolside martinis under the watchful gaze of the San Jacinto Mountains.
RANCHO MORONGO, MORONGO VALLEY
Get off the grid and onto 2.5 acres of open desert at this 1954-built homestead, located halfway between Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs. It's a true Wild West experience, with a cactus garden, cowboy steel pool and BBQ, yet marvelously updated with cool creature comforts.
