HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: Montecito mansion for nearly $26 million; 7,000-square-foot New England traditional; Toro Canyon equestrian estate; Hope Ranch off market; the former site of the Glass Pavilion house; Alameda Padre Serra floops; Romero Canyon cottage; and more. See what sold—and for how much.

GET OUT OF TOWN
We had a few extra days in Southeast Asia, so we tagged on Cambodia’s Angkor Wat temple complex as a bit of an afterthought—and it was the best part of the trip.
