This $6 Million Southwestern-Style Estate in Central California Has a Helipad for Your Chopper
Back in the 1990s, the local pair saw great potential in this Central California property, trading their home at the time plus $100,000 to make it their own. Instead of tearing down the original home that stood on the 6.4-acre rural property, they donated it to the local fire department and SWAT team for training exercises. And, during the process of building up the more than 6,000-square-foot compound, they lived in a tiny guest house with their pets.

What they ended up with is a highly personalized abode modeled on the Southwestern-style architecture they saw admired during trips to New Mexico and Arizona. The six-bedroom, five-bath complex is now on the market for $6 million, with Sarah Hedrick at Realty Concepts holding the listing.
To achieve an authentic Santa Fe style, the house was built with hand-troweled plaster walls, and Saltillo floor tile is found throughout the home, from the high-ceilinged living room to the bathrooms. The chef's kitchen sports travertine countertops, dual copper sinks, and not just one but two pantries. There's a mini wine fridge here too, but you'll want to store most of your vino in the 1,600-bottle wine cellar, which is accessible by elevator and has a tasting room, to boot.
The primary bedroom, meanwhile, has its own gas fireplace—one of five throughout the property. The closets here are lined with cedar, and the ensuite bathroom includes a jetted tub as well as a sauna/steam shower. Friends or family members can make use of the two separate guest houses.
Outside, the owners have created a resort-style paradise, complete with a built-in barbecue and outdoor fireplace for alfresco dining. The pool is accompanied by a mosaic-tiled hot tub, and there are ample options for sports enthusiasts. The court complex encompasses tennis, pickleball, and basketball, and there's a putting green for perfecting your stroke. Gearheads can keep up to 14 cars in the massive garage, and if you're planning to arrive via helicopter—because why not?—a helipad is found on the grounds for your convenience.
While the Southwestern-inspired residence is perhaps one-of-a-kind in its Central California setting, Fresno and its surrounding towns are steeped in agricultural history. Among the area's most interesting properties is a grand, 1910 Colonial Revival in nearby Del Rey that hit the market earlier this year for $4 million.Best of Robb Report

Jeff Bezos sells $737 million worth of Amazon shares
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos unloaded more than 3.3 million shares of his company in a sale valued at roughly $736.7 million, according to a financial filing on Tuesday. The stock sale is part of a previously arranged trading plan adopted by Bezos in March. Under that arrangement, Bezos plans to sell up to 25 million shares of Amazon over a period ending May 29, 2026. Bezos, who stepped down as Amazon's CEO in 2021 but remains chairman, has been selling stock in the company at a regular clip in recent years, though he's still the largest individual shareholder. He adopted a similar trading plan in February 2024 to sell up to 50 million shares of Amazon stock through late January of this year. Bezos previously said he'd sell about $1 billion in Amazon stock each year to fund his space exploration company, Blue Origin. He's also donated shares to Day 1 Academies, his nonprofit that's building a chain of Montessori-inspired preschools across several states. The most recent stock sale comes after Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tied the knot last week in a lavish wedding in Venice. The star-studded celebration, which took place over three days and sparked protests from some local residents, was estimated to cost around $50 million. Bezos is ranked third in Bloomberg's Billionaires Index with a net worth of about $240 billion. He's behind Tesla CEO Elon Musk at $363 billion and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg at $260 billion.

You Can Now Buy Meghan Markle's As Ever Rosé Online
Meghan Markle's brand new rosé is officially here—and it looks like this is just the beginning of As Ever's expansion into the wine business. The As Ever rosé wine is priced at $30 per bottle and sold in sets exclusively via As Ever's online boutique, starting at $90 for three bottles. Larger orders are offered at a slight discount, with a half case (six bottles) priced at $159 and a full case (12 bottles) at $300. The company also announced plans to introduce a traditional-method sparkling wine made in the méthode champenoise style, the same technique used to produce champagne, though the name is legally reserved for wines only made in France's Champagne region. This sparkling wine will also be produced in Napa Valley. A release date hasn't been revealed yet, but the brand noted additional wine varietals will also follow. The new 2023 Napa Valley rosé that starts shipping today is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, mourvèdre, grenache, and syrah grapes. One of the more interesting details on the label is the alcohol content level, referred to as the 'ABV.' The As Ever rosé has an ABV of 14.5%. Rosé wine typically has a lower alcohol content level, often around 12.5% to 13%. But California wines, especially heavier reds like Napa cabernet sauvignon, are famous for having higher ABVs upwards of 15%. A rosé blend incorporating cabernet sauvignon, grenache, and syrah grapes grown in warmer climates often has the effect of increasing the alcohol level, but it doesn't necessarily have an effect on the taste. Stags Leap, Kenzo Estate, and Clif Family Vineyards are other well-known Napa wineries producing rosés with ABVs higher than 14% and also have high rankings by Wine Enthusiast. The Duchess of Sussex first announced that she was getting into the wine business with the first restock of her As Ever collection on June 20. Details at the time were minimal, but the bespoke blend was described to have notes of stone fruit with 'gentle minerality,' which is when the body of the wine has a kind of crispness to it, often seen with warm weather favorites like sauvignon blanc white wines or Provençal-style pale pink rosés, for example. As Ever also debuted two new products (apricot jam and orange blossom honey) and brought back six of the original products: three different herbal teas (hibiscus, lemon ginger and peppermint), the flower sprinkles, the crepe baking mix, and the shortbread cookie mix. The original launch sold out within an hour back in April, the restock sold out the same day.
