The city of Santa Barbara, about 150 kilometers north of Los Angeles.

Drive along the coastline of Route 1, one of the most beautiful and romantic in the country, and the whole person will be mesmerized by the scenery. With views of the Pacific Ocean on one side, steep and towering cliff mountains on the other, or the occasional expanse of meadow, it is known as one of the most beautiful highways in the United States. Driving a car, playing music, and driving on Route 1 is one of the favorite things many Californians do.

The beautiful scenery along the way, with its lush side peaks, steep cliffs, fine sandy beaches and the blue coastline that you can see in the distance, make this coastline an icon of California, and its beauty will make you feel like you are walking in paradise.

The town of Santa Barbara seems to combine the advantages of California, although California is synonymous with sunshine, but when you get to Santa Barbara, you understand what it means to be picturesque, the climate is pleasant, it is 22 degrees all year round, the humidity is suitable, it is definitely a pearl inlaid in California.

Unlike big cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego, Santa Barbara is predominantly college students, retired wealthy people, and tourists, so the pace of life is very laid-back. At the same time, it's not like Santa Monica.

As Santa Monica grows older and more famous, many Hollywood stars and wealthy immigrants from abroad have bought real estate in Santa Monica, and more and more tourists have occupied Santa Monica Beach, making it almost ∈ a paparazzi gathering area.

Sean sat in a Mercedes-Benz business car, holding a wine glass with ice, gently sipping the wine in the glass, and his eyes followed the glass and looked out.

The Spanish style of the street is the first thing that feels clean. The Spanish colonial style building has white walls and red tiles, which looks very exotic.

The streets are moderately sized and perfect for walking, and the tall palm trees on both sides of the road make it feel like you're in some old European town, without the slightest hint of an American metropolis. The fresh style makes Sean look fascinated.

"This is the center of the town, not a lot of area. It's very popular with the wealthy, many of them are attracted by the climate, and they move to Santa Barbara after retirement, and most of them have their own yachts, so there are a large number of yachts moored by the sea in Santa Barbara, and there is a special port for it. Santa Barbara barely has a house under a million dollars. ”

Stern's big back hair was meticulously combed, and he sat next to Sean in a suit. Seeing that Sean seemed to like the environment, he continued, "Santa Barbara is also the most famous winery in the United States, Pinot Noir is famous in the United States, 80% of the wine in the United States is produced in California, and the best red wine in California is in Santa Barbara. ”

Soon, the Mercedes drove to the seaside, crossing a tree-lined path. Running uphill, a magnificent. The white arches of the Spanish classical style are introduced into the eye.

"It's beautiful!" Stockton Bob looked at the majestic and extravagant arch in front of him and was amazed, "It's hard to imagine that this is just the gate of the manor. ”

The gate is full of luxury, with white walls and metal railings, which has a special Spanish charm, and it is like coming to a luxury manor in Europe.

"This is the Santa Barbara Wine Valley estate that we showed you in the photo we showed you earlier." Stern smiled and looked at Sean. "Mr. Sean, would you like to take a tour of here?"

"Of course, I'm interested here." Looking at the villa in front of him with a slight Spanish style, but with traces of the French Renaissance, Sean pointed to the villa in front of him with more than four floors and glanced at Stern and Liv beside him with a smile. "I don't think this manor is unknown, right? I'm interested in the history here. ”

"Of course, Mr. Sean, as you wish, this is Mr. Miles, who is in charge of this manor, and he is also the steward of this manor, and I think he has more say in this place." Stern beckoned, and a man in his fifties smiled at Sean.

"Hello Mr. Sean, this estate covers an area of more than 11 acres, and this main villa has four and a half floors, with a western kitchen and a large dining room on the east side and an oriental kitchen next to it, where you can cook Japanese and Chinese cuisine."

"You mean there's a dedicated Chinese kitchen?" Sean was a little surprised, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a strict demeanor and temperament.

"Yes sir, the previous owner was a Japanese national, so he arranged for an oriental kitchen specializing in Japanese and Chinese cuisine, in addition to two dining rooms, one large and one small. They can be used separately for entertaining guests and for peacetime. The main hall is a banquet hall that allows you to hold banquets or parties. On the thin side is a small living room, there are 4 maid's rooms on the first floor, a cloakroom, a powder room and a bedroom, a bathroom, and a small garden on the second floor, a gym, a video room, a recreation room, a cigar room, a tea room, a bar and a large terrace on the third floor, and a master bedroom and study, a living room and a swimming pool on the fourth floor, and an attic on the top floor, and a small garden inside......"

Miles led Sean down the hall.

Exquisitely decorated, elegant chandeliers, everything looks extraordinarily luxurious. Walking through the hall, I found that behind the glass door was a beautiful swimming pool, and the huge blue pool looked like a blue moon, which was particularly beautiful.

Sean pushed open the door to the small bedroom and found a hallway, and below the corridor was a flowing stream of water, with small swimming fish and wonderful lights, which should be beautiful enough at night.

There is also an escalator outside to go up to the second floor, and when you go up to the second floor, Sean is immediately amazed by the beautiful scenery. Stockton and Liv, who followed behind him, were also dumbfounded, and even Stern, the Jew, who had always been strict and serious, showed a look of surprise.

It's not that the environment on the second floor is shocking, but when you go up to the second floor, you find that there is a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the opposite side, and through the glass, you can actually show the blue sea and delicate sand, which is absolutely visually impactful.

"This villa was built on a mountainside, and the second floor was suspended from the beginning. Below is your private beach. If you wish, you can build your own little pier here, with steps to walk down on the other side of the estate. ”

Miles saw the shocked posture of the crowd and explained with a smile, "The glass here can be opened, but the balcony on the third floor can see more clearly, and I think it should be a great pleasure to get up early in the morning and see the sea view, so the huge master bedroom on the fourth floor can see the entire coast." ”

Then. Sean walked up to the third floor and looked at the private video room, which was divided into two parts, one part was a viewing room, with several plush sofas and projection screens. On the other side is the film storage room, with huge mahogany shelves filled with discs. Surrounded by discs, next to a sofa and a set of back-mounted audio-visual equipment.

Sean can imagine sitting on the couch, looking at the discs, enjoying a good coffee, looking out at the beach on the left and the beautiful surroundings on the right. Of course, Sean will fill the shelves here.

Then Sean had attended the recreation room. There are the latest game machines and entertainment, billiards, foosball, poker tables and even a place to practice golf. The cigar bar is more sophisticated, with solid wood wine racks, bookshelves and leather sofas, and beautiful chandeliers, except for the lack of cigars and red wine.

Needless to say, gyms. It's a small fitness center, and the biggest surprise for Sean is that there is a tea room with a retro oriental flavor. This surprised Sean. Although it is more Japanese-style, Sean feels that if he renovates it himself, it will become the most oriental style cottage. It may be a good idea to entertain friends and sit down with them over tea and chat.

Although it is indeed a bit out of place for a group of foreigners to sit there with Wan Kung Fu tea, Sean still likes this small tea room full of oriental charm.

After visiting the entire villa, Sean can only describe his mood as satisfied.

This is the third villa Sean has visited. I had visited two villas in Santa Monica before, but none of them had the feeling that made Sean's eyes light up and his heart pounded. But this manor house is different.

From a safe point of view, the beach and cliffs in the back and the wooded trail in front make it absolutely safe. And the environment is not to mention. The sea, the fountain, the woods, the meadows, you name it. When he was on the fourth floor, Sean saw that there were creeks and windmills not far away, and even Miles told Sean that there were stables not far away, and he could raise 3-5 horses.

The news was not easy to surprise Sean. Sean, who grew up on horseback since he was a child, has an inseparable affection for horses. This stable, the golf course and horse farm not far away make Sean feel like he has been hit by happiness.

In addition to the villas, the estate has a small golf course and a small horse farm, as well as a parking lot, a garage, and even a few basements underground. There is a tool room and a maid's room next to it, and even dozens of cattle and sheep can be raised here, of course, if Sean wants to.

Sitting in the battery car, Sean visited the entire manor, and I have to say that although there are no buildings other than the villa, Sean really likes this environment.

Quiet, elegant and nice. At the same time, the city of Santa Barbara is also more in line with Sean's requirements. Going out from the gate, driving through the tree-lined path, there is a main street, surrounded by some scattered villas not far away, and the traffic is also very developed.

Visiting the entire estate, Sean set his sights on Stern.

"Looks like you're happy here, Mr. Sean!" Stern smiled, "Seriously, the environment here makes my heart flutter. I think you live here and definitely deserve your identity. ”

"Identity? I'm just a little actor, and I'd rather hear what it has to offer! Let's talk about the price. How much money can I have it! Sean pursed his lips and rolled his eyes at what the old white face said, he paid more attention to more practical questions.

"If you talk about the estate alone, I think it could be $47 million. But if you add in the wine storage room and wine cellar here, it should be about $52 million, you know, there's a lot of wine here, which is why it's called Vale Estate. ”

Stern smiled like an old fox, "Santa Barbara's red wine is well-known throughout the United States and is very popular in New York's high society." The winery here has a long history, with an annual output of thousands of bottles, and although it is not famous, the quality of the red wines is normal for the tasters, and it is indeed able to reach the premium level. ”

"I can't believe what you can do with thousands of bottles of red wine a year." Sean said lightly.

"Maybe you can sell it or give it to a friend, you know, there is still a market for high-quality red wines from private wineries." Stern replied with a smile.

"Well, you convinced me." Sean shrugged his shoulders, to be honest, Sean really liked the environment here, so he didn't bother to bargain. And he also believes in the credibility and sincerity of Amex.

"You made a wise decision. We will get back to you as soon as possible, but I don't know if there are any changes that you need to make? Stern's smile widened.

"I just want to check in as soon as possible." Sean walked out of the villa without looking back, his sturdy figure facing the sunshine of Santa Barbara, rendering it like the sun god.

"Okay, I'll keep you satisfied."

"I hope so." Sean looked at Stockton and Liv on the side, "When you come to this resort, don't you want to go swimming in the sea?" ”

"Of course, I love being able to have a private beach." A flash of surprise flashed in Liv's eyes, and she twisted her little ass to leave a graceful back for Sean, "I'm going to find a swimsuit." ”

"Great, boss, I hate gloomy New York. I loved the beach and the bikini. Stockton Bob's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to catch up with Sean.

Of course, more importantly, he remembered what Sean had told him about the Rotten Tomatoes website earlier. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
