TOURIST FOR A DAY
At the Canzelle Alpacas farm in Carpinteria, you can learn all about the friendly animals—and even better, pet them, feed them carrots, and pose for photos with them.

HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: 1930 Riviera house/apartment complex for $6 million; 2003 Mediterranean overlooking the Montecito Club golf course; off-market Riviera contemporary; skinny-dipper’s delight in Birnam Wood; the 1928 Upper East one with an ornate primary bathroom; and more. See what sold—and for how much.
