This $14 Million Equestrian Estate Sits Within a Double-Gated Orange County Community

Coto de Caza is one of Orange County’s oldest, most exclusive guard-gated communities, where The Real Housewives reality TV franchise was famously born. Although it has frequently been in the spotlight, Coto still offers plenty of private oases. Tucked away on the northeast side, Los Ranchos Estates is a separate gated enclave of about 75 homes—the majority of which sit on multi-acre lots zoned for horses. One of those equestrian estates deserves its own close-up. Art Week NYC Has Officially Kicked Off at the Met Built in 1981 but since renovated, the spread at 31742 Contijo Way comprises an 8,400-square-foot main residence, a one-bedroom guest house, and a one-bedroom barn. The three-acre grounds offer an equestrian’s essentials—a four-stall barn with a tack room, office, and saloon set beside a riding arena and three pastures—plus a couple of resort-style touches like a pool and spa. An aerial view of the three-acre compound with equestrian amenities.

Costa Mesa Lets One Metro West Skip Mural, Use Wavy Facade for Art Mandate Instead

Drivers cruising past the 405 Freeway in Costa Mesa may soon notice something unusual rippling along a massive apartment complex: a wave-shaped facade with light coves that can change color, built not as decoration but to satisfy the city's public art requirement. The Costa Mesa Planning Commission voted 6-0 on Monday to approve the public art plan for One Metro West, a 957-unit residential complex planned just north of the freeway.
