Want to see the jewels of nature instead of the glitter of Beverly Hills? Take a trip to Wright Ranch, a private estate in the heart of the Santa Monica mountains that overlooks the sweep of the SoCal coastline.
Run by offspring of the architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this rambling estate, populated by mature oaks and chaparral, includes a prayer wheel, a fresh water pond, and an earth-and-concrete home designed by the architect’s son, Eric.
It’s not open to the public, so you’ll have to dig into that British treasury and pony up for a special event surrounded by natural California beauty.
