PREVIOUS PROPERTY 'We lived in a much busier part of Santa Barbara close to the beach,' Megan says

The contrast between the Robles' former home and their new one could not be more striking. Having previously lived close to the beach in Santa Barbara, Megan and Rick, along with their two sons, Graydon, two, and baby Roan, have relocated towards the top of the canyon. Here in a Spanish Revival villa, they wake up every day to a mesmerising view that has become the beautiful backdrop to family life.
