He’s found

the finish line

Phil Keoghan, the longtime

television host of competition

series “The Amazing Race,” has

put down roots in Venice, buying a

live-work property in the Oxford

Triangle area for $2.645 million.

The flexible, 3,100-square-foot

residence is described as a loft, but

could easily function as a home.

Located about a mile from the

ocean, the three-story pad show-

cases an industrial touch with

steel beams, skylights and ex-

posed ductwork. Floors alternate

between hardwood and polished

concrete throughout the interior.

The lower level adds an open

dining area, a lounge and a kitchen

with Italian cabinetry. Upstairs,

glass conference rooms overlook

the common spaces below. There’s

also an elevator, a secure server

room and three bathrooms.

Daniel Pickart of Industry

Partners held the listing. Robert

Friday of Bulldog Realtors repre-

sented Keoghan.

A native of New Zealand,

Keoghan has hosted every season

of “The Amazing Race” since its

debut in 2001, winning 10 Prime-

time Emmys for his work on the

show. The 52-year-old has also

hosted “No Opportunity Wasted”

and “National Geographic Ex-

plorer.”

Ambassador to

Bel-Air no more

Carla Sands, the U.S. ambas-

sador to Denmark and former

advisor to President Trump, has

sold her Bel-Air home for

$19.5 million, or about 14% less

than the most recent asking price

of $22.8 million.

The 14,700-square-foot Italian

villa-style home sits behind gates

in the Moraga Estates community.

Built in 2002, the home features

soaring ceilings and curved arch-

ways and windows. Formal living

and dining rooms, an office/library

with a fireplace and a bar are

among the living spaces.

Including a guesthouse, the

property has six bedrooms and 1 1

bathrooms.

A sloping hillside creates a

backdrop for manicured gardens

and sprawling grounds. The four-

acre estate also has a swimming

pool, outdoor lounging spaces and

a loggia. The motor court can

accommodate 10 cars.

The property was once the site

of oil tycoon Howard B. Keck’s

estate. Sands built the residence

in 2002 with her husband, real

estate mogul Fred Sands. After

Fred Sands’ death in 2015, Carla

Sands replaced her husband as

chief executive of Vintage Capital,

which has over $150 million in

assets. The businesswoman and

diplomat joined Trump’s econo-

mic advisory council in 2016.

Last year, she sold an ocean-

front property in the Broad Beach

area of Malibu for $13.656 million.

Jeff Hyland of Hilton & Hyland

and Joyce Rey of Coldwell Banker

Residential Brokerage were the

listing agents. Drew Fenton of

Hilton & Hyland represented the

buyer.
