hhh ... June. Here in the Vail Valley, with the snows of winter long gone and even "mud season" a fading memory, we relish the onset of summer — not only for the stellar mountain weather, but because, typically, the busiest time of year for the real estate market in the Colorado High Country is just around the bend. We also look forward to this time of year for another reason — golf. With 10 spectacular, world-class courses at our fingertips, it's time, too, to dust off the golf clubs and head for the links; and there's no better motivation than preparing for the Vail Board of REALTORS® Foundation's annual golf tournament, now celebrating its fourth year. Scheduled for June 17, we're hoping to beat our existing mark of $20,000 raised to assist community and association members in the event of a catastrophic illness or accident and to enhance quality of life through need based on financial assistance, nonprofit support, education, disaster relief, and housing-related initiatives while promoting volunteerism. Selling real estate isn’t just a job, after all. It’s also about community. Because they are entrenched in the local community, it’s a good time to enlist the guidance and experience of a REALTOR. Our organization, its members and partners exist to provide the most informed, ethical and comprehensive options for clients and their real estate needs for both primary and secondary residences as well as rental properties. And nobody knows the local market like we do. Enjoy the season, Vail Board of REALTORS®

HOW’S THE MARKET? A solid ski season of real estate sales has us all looking forward to a busy summer ahead. While the high end of the market, $5 million and above, took what will likely be a momentary pause, the low-to-mid range remained very active. Ski season sales saw 483 closings of residential property and land, excluding fractional and commercial properties, and were up 11.5% over the prior season. The uncertainties of the stock market, exchange rates, the current election cycle and perhaps most notably a lack of new inventory in the high end have some buyers patiently waiting to make their purchase. Yet we continue see notable properties go under contract and close, including condominium residences at The Four Seasons (now sold out), the Ritz-Carlton and Solaris, as well as single family and duplex homes in Glen Lyon, Lionshead, Vail Village and the Vail Golf Course neighborhood.
What does this mean to you? If seeking property up to $1 million, don’t hesitate if you find the perfect home. It likely will not languish on the market. A few notable developments in Vail are opening up additional options for buyers seeking multi-million dollar property. If you are considering selling, this summer should prove to be a strategic time to bring your home to market. If buying, I encourage you to work diligently with a skilled broker in identifying the opportunities that best meet your family’s needs. I welcome your call should you wish to discuss our market in greater detail, and appreciate this opportunity to be of service. Thank you!

a good day on the links ends with a sweet pour at the 19th hole — just where the 19th hole is, however, varies. Homeowners are extending their homes to include livable, functional, nearly year-round outdoor spaces, bringing the inside out.

come summer it’s the most soughtafter space outside your home. Outdoor spaces in the mountains can run the gamut, from a small condo deck to a fully furnished, enviable patio that feels like a living room. No matter the size of the space, however, decks and patios shouldn’t feel like a hodge-podge of yard sale finds and lackluster décor. “People are no longer just buying 'sets' of outdoor furniture ... . We are really trying to make these spaces look more eclectic, thoughtful,
and designed,” says Amy Casey, co-owner of Casey St. John. "Think about mixing the old with the new and extending what you love inside your home to the outside.” Slifer Designs President Yvonne Jacobs loves creating outdoor spaces and agrees with being thoughtful in designing your 19th hole. “Make the outdoor space as livable as your indoors, don’t just throw a couple chaises outside — make it unique, designed,” she says.
Fun, functional fabrics There are so many ways to make your space your own. For example, break up the flow into different seating areas, just like you would in the home, suggests Jacobs. Bring out a few cozy throws, thent add in outdoorspecific accessories: dining, glassware or luxury plastic-ware, even lamps. Next, use fun, functional fabrics for throws and cushions.

options, you don’t have to settle for neutrals — unless you want to. “Outdoor fabrics and furnishings have come a long way from the old folding lawn chairs,” says Casey. “These days, so much of it is as comfortable and beautiful as indoor furniture." In Colorado, she adds, it is important to look for something that can withstand the elements and that you get a durable, fade proof fabric; most are solutiondyed acrylics.
Some successful outdoor spaces are an extension of the inner rooms, such as this example by Slifer Designs.

and gathering around a fire pit is special.” Fire pits aren’t always viable, but a hurricane lamp can help create that same soft-lit ambiance, adds Lisa Mikels, Slifer Designs’ store manager. No outdoor area is complete without a grill, and built-in options bring it all up a notch, creating a permanent piece. It provides a more cohesive look when it’s integrated into the outdoor space, adds Jacobs. An added bonus? It’s bear proof. To get in and out easily, Casey suggests the lift-andslide door, which further
integrates the indoors with the outdoors and looks amazing. “These large, retractable and/ or 'folding' glass panels allow the indoor and outdoor space to become one,” she says. With spring flowers blooming and the world so green, the large glass panels feel like an art installation.

yard. Before long, though, you might be moving on to having a built-in, customdesigned spa retreat that’s all your own – something you definitely won’t get at your local watering hole. Soak those tired muscles as you enjoy your favorite spirit. The frothy water, laterafternoon sunshine and sweet sounds of summer will drive your shanking worries away. 'The perfect outdoor space' Outdoor storage is great, as well — you can keep everything you need right at hand. However, if the space is lacking, you can use some
items both inside and outside. A bar cart, for one, is the perfect accessory for an indoor party. When the sun’s out, wheel the stocked cart outside for an impromptu soirée. Clean up is a breeze — just wheel the cart back inside for the next outdoor adventure. Before you jump in and create a new outdoor venue for picnics and parties, though, Jacobs
recommends taking your time. “Give the site some thought and think about where you want to spend your afternoons, how the sun catches, or doesn’t," she says. "Having the perfect outdoor space will keep you sane in our long winter months.” So after your next golf outing, skip the clubhouse and head back to your house — there’s no place like home, after all.

CULTIVATING COLOR Planning for Constant Color by MARTY JONES
A
fter a long winter
season with white snow covering gardens and landscapes in the Vail area, it’s nice to see flowers of all colors throughout the summer. But once the weather warms up, I notice that people often come into the Wildflower Farm garden center and buy the first beautiful perennial plants they see in bloom. This approach might provide —at most — a few weeks of colorful flowers, and then those plants will move into the next phase

of their lifecycle. Blooms will wilt and wither, and then they’ll turn to seed. In the absence of flowering plants, a garden will lose its colorful appeal if not planned properly. To avoid having a garden that blooms all at once and then has a lackluster appearance for the rest of the summer season, it’s important to choose plants carefully so that some are blooming at all times and in a variety of heights and colors. Cultivating constant color requires some advance
planning and knowledge, but it’s possible. Here are a few things to consider when designing a garden characterized by long-lasting color: Get Inspired Take a stroll through a mature garden that has already mastered the concept of enduring beauty to gather ideas. Vail’s famed Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, for example, showcases plants appropriate for this area’s high mountain environment. Take notes of both blooming and

Visit a local garden center for advice, and also consult the Plant Select® website, plantselect.org, a great resource for learning more about bloom
times, plant characteristics, and colors. Divide your list into plants that bloom early in the season, mid-season and late-season. Also take note of plants that have long blooming seasons, and consider adding a variety of grasses to your list. While most grasses do not have colorful blooms like other perennial plants, they provide interest in the form of texture and movement that can extend throughout the winter season. Consider Aspect and Location With the additional plant knowledge you’ve gained, begin creating a design that will incorporate some blooming

plants of varying heights into your landscape at focal points visible throughout the summer season. Go beyond considering bloom times at this stage, and take into account what growing conditions will be optimal. If a plant needs full sun to bloom, for instance, make sure that it isn’t placed where it’s shaded under a leafy tree. In general, plants that thrive in full sun conditions have more colorful, showy blooms than plants that prefer the shade. Amend Before Planting Take some time to evaluate the condition of soil in areas where you plan to plant, as good soil holds water more efficiently and promotes longer blooming times. For this reason, soil often needs to be amended with compost before planting. Soil activators can also help promote soil health and increase the likelihood that plants will stay in bloom for a longer time. Make Ongoing Adjustments Landscaping is a dynamic process, and all designs will need to be adjusted throughout the season and from one season to the next. Take stock of areas
that have developed holes or color gaps, and reevaluate plant choices as well as locations. If it’s mid-season and some perennial plants you chose have failed to achieve the desired effect, consider planting annuals or biennial flowers in their place as a seasonal solution to add color. Pansies, violas, or Icelandic poppies, for example, can achieve an attractive and colorful pop when needed. Care for Your Creation Provide water appropriate for the chosen plants, ideally making use of an irrigation system set to a schedule that suits their needs. Slow-release and liquid fertilizers also help provide the nutrients that plants need to continue blooming. Read fertilizer package instructions to determine the duration of its effectiveness, and reapply throughout the summer season as needed. Some perennials will also continue to bloom in response to deadheading, or cutting off spent blooms, so schedule time for ongoing landscape maintenance to enjoy the color you’ve cultivated all season long.

GREENSCAPES
BALANCED, SUSTAINABLE GARDENS A mix of xeriscaping, perrenials and annuals help create a beautiful space that functions year-round by KIMBERLY NICOLETTI
W
hen it comes
to High Country summer blooms, many people choose annuals, which tend to flower sooner, relatively easier and longer than perennials. But planning a balanced garden using perennials and xeriscaping helps ecosystem sustainability and can still provide a colorful, textured landscape.
Xeriscaping Xeriscaping has been popular for years, due to its lower water usage, which is a major plus. Still, xeriscaping needs drip irrigation or a low spray. And, like any plant first taking root, more water is necessary, until it is well established. Though xeriscaping provides less color than a mixture of annual and perennial flowers, an interesting xeriscaped garden stems from texture and height variation. During winter months, the plants also add tones of greens and browns to an otherwise white landscape. Grasses and feathery plants, like Karl Foerster grass, red-leaf coreopsis and lily-like hostas add texture and provide a native Coloradan feel — plus many are drought-tolerant. Tall trees create a backdrop for smaller shrubs, and taller flowers. Shorter growing plants and ground covering like snow-in-summer and penstemon make a beautiful forefront. Planning is key when planting any garden, especially a xeriscaped one, says Glen Ellison, co-owner of Land Designs by Ellison, a Ceres Company. He encourages people to spend money up front for the design 28

process; this allows homeowners to become very specific when it comes to choosing the multitude of not just plants, but also pavers, stones and other elements of xeriscaping. In fact, elements homeowners might not even consider include: how bird baths attract birds that eat “destructive” bugs and how various flowers like larkspur, hydrangea, rhubarb leaves, foxglove and tulip and daffodil bulbs are poisonous to dogs. Another example of potential problems come into play with sloped lawns, which allow water to run down without fully irrigating grass and other plants. A series of terraced plateaus grounded with plants can solve the problem and use less water.
Proper garden planning also takes winter into account. Jamie McCluskie, owner of Mac Design in Avon designs landscapes for snow storage, as well as summer delight. He incorporates hardy shrubs, perennial flowers and/or boulder outcroppings to protect more delicate plants from snowplow blades and heavy snow piles. Many perennials and shrubs like ural false spirea and black beauty elder are resilient enough to bounce back after sitting under heavy snow build up. Perennials Annuals provide instant gratification when planting a garden, so many people avoid
perennials because they usually have a shorter blooming period and take patience. However, planting a variety of perennials that bloom one after another (in various stages, seasonally) leads to a colorful garden. “Perennials take time, but they don’t take much work if you select the right varieties,” says, Nick Courtens, senior horticulturalist of the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens. He has helped grow more than a thousand varieties of perennials from around the world, and, while it’s not necessary to go that far, he does encourage people to incorporate plenty of perennials in their gardens. “Growing a more diverse plant selection is critical for

a healthy garden,” he says. “Growing one plant is detrimental if a bug or disease (takes over). Other plants can attract certain bugs that are good.” Perennials such as catmint, salvia, moonshine yarrow, lambs ear, creeping phlox and Echinacea deter deer, which takes some of the wildlife magic out of gardens, but also keeps your plants from being chomped to the ground. Tall trees, like red twig dogwood and yarrow flower also add a tinge of color in winter. Summer flowers like daisies, lupines and columbines are easy to grow, and flowers like trumpet flower attract butterflies. And, contrary to common knowledge, there are many lowwater perennials, like columbines, black-eyed Susans, blue flax and Sweet William. Then, there are more tricky perennials to grow, but plenty of resources exist to help gardeners successfully grow high alpine plants, from nurseries to

GROWING A MORE DIVERSE PLANT SELECTION IS CRITICAL FOR A HEALTHY GARDEN.” — NICK COURTENS the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens Educational Center. “People get discouraged when plants die, but you only can learn from what you kill sometimes,” Courtens says. “If you try once, don’t give up. People get discouraged too easily and go back to easy altitude plants they’re used to growing already. But there’s a joy in gardening (and) trying more diverse plants.” In addition to the fact that perennials re-seed themselves every year so gardeners don’t
have to replant every nook and cranny, as more people request a greater variety of high alpine perennials at nurseries, the more selection nurseries will offer, due to demand. “I feel that people think that the gardens up here have to be boring and can’t be colorful, but there are so many possibilities up here,” Karolina Zolnierczyk, landscape designer at Ceres Landcare says. “You just have to have fun with the garden. Play with it.”

always have to be big, and sometimes changing just one room can really freshen up a whole home. Chris De Jager, owner of Jager Designs LLC, recently completed a project in West Vail for a client who was looking to update a bathroom for her sons. She wanted to use a neutral color tone, and to emphasize clean finishes. The project took just over two weeks to complete. “She was very open-minded and let me do all of the designs myself,” explains De Jager. “I enjoyed this because I was able to bring a lot of my own creativity into the project.” The renovation changed the bathroom from feeling small and cluttered to having a more open and clean look. De Jager worked on the project himself, and sub-contracted the plumbing. He used a gray and white color scale throughout the bathroom, and he added a wainscot paneling to the walls, while also replacing the white vanity with a European pedestal sink.

RENOVATIONS
(ALL) THIS REALLY BROKE UP THE BATHROOM, AND IT ALSO GIVES THE ILLUSION THAT IT’S BIGGER.” — CHRIS DE JAGER The white pedestal sink paired with the white wainscot backdrop lightened up the space, and De Jager also added new modern lighting with a brush nickel finish and antique bulbs. The original bathroom had a tub in the shower; De Jager removed the tub and added a half wall with a walk-in shower. “This really broke up the bathroom, and it also gives the illusion that it’s bigger,” he explains. De Jager put in gray tile on the floors of the bathroom, and throughout the shower walls. He added accent to the
shower with soapdish tile, and honeycomb marble on the shower floor to bring it all together. “Since the client is a friend of mine, I made a shelf out of barn wood to go over the toilet,” he shares. “It looks like the Colorado flag, and it was a nice surprise for her and her sons. De Jager says his favorite part about the project was seeing the look on his client’s face when it was all finished. “Since she let me choose everything for the project,” he says, “I didn’t let her see it until it was completely finished.”

site within the 7,000 acres that make up the community. This masterpiece, more than 10 acres, offers commanding views that span from the Gore Range, to the famed Back Bowls of Vail Mountain, to the snow-capped Sawatch Range, to The Ranch at Cordillera Golf Course, to Bellyache Ridge, to the volcanic remnant of Castle Peak, to Red and White Mountain — a true 360-degree view.
All of the Vail Valley’s jawdropping grandeur is yours to luxuriously appreciate from every room in your home, framed by exceptionally styled windows and French doors. A wraparound deck on the upper level and expansive stone terrace on the lower level provides inviting outdoor access to these very elite scenes. This was the first house built in Cordillera and thus represents the
most favored site within the entire community. Years ago, the current owners, Barbara and Jack Benson, were on a mission to find the most spectacular community to start their new life together. Leaving New York and driving across the country, they discovered the then-newlydeveloping Cordillera. Perusing the neighborhood, The Bensons came upon 115 Alhambra. They were so enthralled as they drove

up to the home, they stopped, knocked on the door, and told the owners they wanted to buy it. Over the years the home has been 90 percent remodeled so that all of the most contemporary and sophisticated building and finish elements have been incorporated into this stunner, bringing the interior of this exquisite home to the standards of the exterior views. Every detail has been attended to.
The European finishes, created by a Belgian architect, are the finest and in perfect alignment with the manner of The Divide’s total ambiance. The kitchen is a gourmet’s delight; the bathrooms are handsome; the master suite encompasses the entire second floor for matchless privacy that includes two private decks. It also comprises such surprises as a
large master-of-the-house closet, and a charming lady-of-the-house retreat with its own massive closet and dressing area as well as a very private place to relax. The four wood-burning fireplaces embrace all within this perfectly scaled home and create an environment that is welcoming to both family and friends. The community of Cordillera itself radiates an all-encompassing mountain allure. Beyond just a golfing neighborhood, Cordillera has private Eagle River fishing, an indoor equestrian arena, miles of riding, hiking and Nordic ski trails, three tennis centers, five indoor and outdoor pools, four fitness facilities and a summer camp and Trailhead clubhouse for children.
The Cordillera lifestyle is an active and socially vigorous experience that holds something for everyone — both organized and spontaneous events are a constant in the community year-round. In this active community there is a new adventure every day. The Divide, with its European flair, offers an enchanting backdrop for this extraordinary home with views that are what the term “breathtaking” was designed to describe. Take a look — then take another. If you are looking for a house with views beyond compare, then welcome home.

For the alpine-loving golf fan, there is no place closer to heaven than the Club at Cordillera, home of not one but four golf courses: the Mountain, Summit, Valley and Short courses. All but the Short Course, which is run by the community and open to the public, are members-only with

Cordillera’s gated community is renowned for its close-knit social gatherings, whether in the clubhouse, dog park around the pool or after yoga class in the indoor and outdoor fitness facilities. There is also an equestrian center, private fly fishing accessibility and nearly 25 miles of hiking and biking trails. cordillera-vail.com 190 Gore Trail, Edwards, CO 81632 970.926-5300
VAIL GOLF CLUB, VAIL
Located amid the surrounding mountains of the White River National Forest, the Vail Golf Course boasts the valley’s best view of the Gore Mountain Range — especially between holes 7 and 13. Designed by Vail Pioneer Ben Krueger, the 18-hole public course is one of the first aspects of the luscious landscape to notice when you roll into town from East Vail to Vail Village along Interstate 70 in the summer. Surprisingly, it’s also considered one of the most playable and walkable in the area, highly rated by all levels of golfers, with just a few elevated tees. Made famous by the late President Gerald Ford, who had

The Vail Valley is home to not just a couple but 10 awardwinning golf courses, each of which is tucked into its own unique community. Here’s a little glimpse of each:

a home at Beaver Creek and was honored at an Invitational here every summer with Jack Nicklaus and the sport’s other top dogs, the course is seeing a total redevelopment of its clubhouse this year, with expectations of opening in September. Continuous golf operations will take place in temporary facilities until the new clubhouse is ready. vailrec.com/vail recreation/vail-golf-club 1775 Sunburst Drive, Vail, CO 970.479.2260
EAGLEVAIL GOLF CLUB, EAGLEVAIL
One of the most popular and down-to-earth neighborhoods in the valley, EagleVail is home to one of the least pretentious 18hole courses around — but also one of the more challenging. The first nine holes take you through the neighborhood, but the latter nine weave in and out of aspens and pines on hills that lead, if you hike far enough, up to the slopes of Beaver Creek. Designed by Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge, the course’s difficulty is due in part to the courses’ narrow fairways, abrupt elevation changes and proximity to surrounding homes on the course’s higher
slopes, Whiskey Hill. EagleVail is home to mostly full-time residents, including a number of young families. Many hiking and mountain bike trails weave through the woods on the slopes above the neighborhood. Not far from the clubhouse lies the neighborhood tennis courts and swimming pool. Both the pool and golf club offer discounted rates to EagleVail residents. eaglevailgolfclub.com 970.949.5267 459 Eagle Drive EagleVail, CO 81620
One of the liveliest communities in the valley, Eagle Ranch is big on variety, both in its award-winning public Arnold Palmer Signature Design golf course and in the homes that surround it. The energy of the community can be felt on the course, tucked into the sage brush-covered hills of the high desert landscape, which is rife with mountain bike trails and also in the weekly concerts and events that take place throughout the summer. The golf course itself is challenging for all levels and regularly plays host to a qualifying event for the Colorado Open. There are discounts for both Eagle and other local residents and a number of membership packages available. eagleranchgolf.com 0050 Lime Park Drive Eagle, CO 81631 970.328.2882

Golf for Good Vail Board of REALTORS® Hosts Annual Golf Tournament
T
h e va i l b oa r d o f
REALTORS® Foundation's annual golf tournament has gained momentum since its inception in 2013. Organizers expected this year’s event, to be held on Friday, June 17th, to be sold out by the end of April. The fourth annual tournament takes place at Eagle Ranch Golf Course, an Arnold Palmer Signature Design Course. Each year, the venue changes to showcase a variety of courses and neighborhoods. “We try to provide a worldclass golf tournament to make it a fun and exciting time. Eagle Ranch has beautiful scenery and it works really well with a scramble format. Because it’s a hard course, and by playing in a scramble format, (beginners) can still play the course and, hopefully, always swing from a good spot as if you’re a professional,” says Gary Pesso, golf tournament committee chair. “The event is open to the public, so we get a wide variety of players. We had some really good scratch golfers who teamed up with other skill levels to balance out the teams, which makes the event competitive but still fun … which is the ultimate goal.” The tournament accommodates 32 teams. The cost for a team is $800, which includes 18 holes of golf, range balls, a cart with GPS, a box lunch, a swag bag, an after-golf reception and a chance to win amazing prizes. Last year’s prizes included a Lexus/Ritz-Carlton hotel stay and a variety of valuable door and raffle prizes. The Turtle Bus, as was introduced last year for safe transportation after the reception, will shuttle participants to and

from Eagle Ranch, stopping at Loaded Joe’s in Avon and Woody’s Bar and Grill in Edwards. Balloon Rides and Golf Ball Drop The Vail Board of REALTORS® Foundation Golf Tournament Fundraiser has previously raised as much as $20,000. This year, the nonprofit plans on raising even more with the help of Re/Max’s hot air balloon. From about 8-9:30 a.m., weather permitting, kids and adults can take a tethered ride above the golf course for just $20. It’s a fun way to float above it all and a great way to further involve families. The public can purchase numbered golf balls the morning of the event for $25 each, or five balls for $100, to compete in the balloon ball drop. Whichever ball lands in the hole — or closest to it — wins a cash prize of up to $5,000, depending upon how many balls are sold. Around 10 a.m, up to a thousand numbered golf balls will drop from the Re/ Max balloon, raining down upon one of Eagle Ranch’s holes. “It’s really quite impressive — a stream of white golf balls coming down,” Pesso says. “It’s not something you see every day.” Participants can also purchase one golf ball and a ticket to the after-golf reception, normally $60, for $50 — a savings of $10. The reception includes hearty appetizers and music by guitarist John Martin on the deck. Sponsorship Opportunities Sponsorship opportunities range from $300 to $2,500. Without a team, companies can sign up for a Par sponsorship, allowing them to display their name and logo at one tee box
and receive reception tickets for two guests. An Eagle sponsorship provides business signage at the tee box and a golf team entry fee with lunch and reception tickets for $1,000. An Ace sponsorship receives all of the above, plus the privilege of placing its theme tent on a team box with booth attendees for $1,400. The ultimate, Albatross sponsorship, $2,500, includes the company’s name on all advertisements as the presenting sponsor, as well as signage throughout the course and a team entry. So, even if you’re not a golfer, there
are plenty of ways to support the foundation. Sign up now, as space is extremely limited, and the prizes are spectacular.
