Paradise Redefined 76

By Cathleen McCann Setting out for exotic ports of call can lead to finding good times in the most picturesque locations around the globe. And buying or building a slice of paradise, in many instances, can be a sound investment, especially with companies willing to handle renting vacation properties while they’re not in use.

CELEBRITY HOMES

Hollywood Glamour in Palm Springs By Sam Claxton To be a successful Realtor® in Palm Springs, California, it helps if you’re a romantic and can wax poetic about the homes spread throughout a town that’s a famous getaway for Hollywood stars. Scott Lyle more than fills the bill. He has two favorites at the moment: Les Baux de Palm Springs, a one-of-a-kind estate owned by Suzanne Somers and Alan Hamel, and a Spanish-style mansion where Elizabeth Taylor lived for a couple of years in the late 1950s.

Dear Reader, You hold in your hands the largest issue we’ve published to date in 2008. You may have noticed it’s a bit heavier than usual. That’s because it’s our thirteenth anniversary issue! Anniversaries are something we like to celebrate by packing the magazine with extraordinary properties for sale around the globe. Thirteen is a lucky number for us, and we’ve risen to the occasion for you. Perhaps you’re in the market for a gorgeously restored, glamorous estate, once owned by movie star Elizabeth Taylor, in Palm Springs, California? Maybe an ultra-modern mountain residence in Boulder, Colorado, is more your thing? Or a dramatic vacation home in Acapulco, Mexico, that’s perched on a hill overlooking the Pacific? They all sound dreamy because they are. This “light” summer reading is our beach-blanket issue. And we’ve made sure to put it in airports and newsstands around the world, so you can take it with you when you travel. Think of it as a mini vacation of sorts as you read—and dream—about living on the shores of Lake Tahoe, escaping to an eco-tourist haven in Tobago, or surrounding yourself with the beauty of the Arizona desert. Enjoy!

SIERRA STAR On the Shores of Lake Tahoe in Incline Village, Nevada

estled on the northeast corner of Lake Tahoe is the Sierra Star estate. With 4.25 spectacularly landscaped acres, 383 feet of shoreline, and two private piers, the Sierra Star is surrounded by a handcrafted wrought-iron fence, making the estate a

secure environment for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying its luxuries. The essence of the Sierra Star is the 10,687-square-foot main house, the namesake of the estate. Water reflections dance across an Italian marble entryway that leads into a great room, featuring a state-of-the-art entertainment center and an oversized stone fireplace. A formal dining room comfortably seats fourteen and a large sunroom with rock waterfall separates the great room from the gourmet kitchen. Of Sierra Star’s six bedroom suites, four have lake views. Nights spent in the 1,200-square-foot master suite can be enjoyed in front of a fireplace, as the moonlight reflects off the lake. The lower level houses recreation rooms with table tennis, billiards, a private card room, and a workout area. Located at the eastern corner of the Sierra Star property is the Lakeview House, a 4,651-square-foot guest house with views of Tahoe’s famous sunsets and Mount Tallac. Lakeview house includes a two-car garage, five bedrooms, and four baths. Guests can enjoy the sparkling blue waters of Lake Tahoe from one of its many large decks. Living up to its name, the Parkview House, yet another guest house, offers a parklike setting with views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The 4,328-square-foot Parkview House offers sophisticated living space, with Brazilian teak floors adorning the living and dining areas. Its kitchen, with top-of-the-line appliances and granite countertops, is open to the surrounding areas. The luxurious master suite has a partially enclosed private deck, a gas stove, a jetted tub, and a shell shower. Additional highlights include a carriage house, with

Bonnell Shores, the $12.8-million property feels like a country estate, with its elevated site and lake breezes, yet it’s convenient to downtown. “Lake Austin is the heart and soul of Austin,” says Connie Lundgren, of Turnquist Partners Realtors in Austin, who is marketing the property. “It is rare to find this lot size close to the city center.” Built in 1999, the home was renovated in 2003 by Preston Harvey, the contractor that renovated the Texas State Capitol. Within the home, limestone and many imported materials are used extensively. Examples of custom-design features inlcude a hammered-copper hood and sink in the country kitchen, alder-wood cabinetry, Viking appliances, and a Texas-size limestone fireplace. Not to mention, a Chicago-brick wine room on the terrace level, reclaimed wood floors, and lighting from the state capitol are other distinctive elements. An

PUBLISHER’S SHOWCASE antique chandelier from San Antonio’s Pearl Brewery lights the library. The list goes on with a Carrera-marble master bath, an onyx guest bath, and an eighteen-karat gold powder room. The home’s gracious design is well suited for entertaining, much like an authentic Mediterranean estate. The public rooms feature arches and open to outdoor entertaining areas. Here, residents and guests can relax in a private courtyard garden, graced with an arched limestone colonnade with 2,000 square feet of lighted patios and surround sound on all levels. An impressive series of eleven Palladianstyle French doors connect the home’s interior to the exterior. The stainless-steel summer kitchen stays true to the Lone Star lifestyle with a Texas-size barbecue pit and a smoker. On rainy days, however, entertaining indoors won’t be a problem with five living rooms, two dining rooms, and four plasma home theaters. A 6,000-square-foot terrace level, created by the owners, houses a Texas-size game room—large enough for two poker tables, a game table, and an antique bar from the Hilton Hotel in Big Springs—and a private office with a seventeen- by twenty-foot vault with a class-three jeweler’s door. The million-dollar media room, also located on this floor, is a showstopping conversation piece in itself, as the Art Decostyle space was fashioned after Austin’s historic Paramount Theater. Guests can stay in their own wing, too, with two bedrooms, a living room, and an armoire that conceals a mini kitchen. Future owners with art collections will appreciate the ample wall space as well as the museum-quality art lighting to display artwork. “The intrinsic value of the home comes from the quality of the materials used and the construction,” says Lundgren. What’s more, residents have boat access to Lake Austin, which Lundgren describes as “the crown jewel of our city.” “This home is not what you typically see in the luxury market,” Lundgren says. “It has timeless elegance and the floor plan provides a sense of place within the home, which allows for comfortable living and sophisticated entertaining.” Offered at $12,800,000.

Wanna Trade?

LuxuryAssetTrader.com is L e i a fast and easy e y wayy to locate and acquire life’s finer l q e treasures. e B Y PAT R I C K C . PAT E R N I E HEN IT COMES TO THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE, Jack Schoch has had more than his share including an airplane, four boats, an equal number of motorhomes and enough exotic and luxury cars to fill a very expensive used car lot.

So what’s his problem? It’s one that the Virginia Beach based builder/developer thinks affects a lot of guys like him. “I’ve discovered that the real thrill for me is in finding my next asset,” he explains about his passion for luxury lifestyle items, “more so than using it once I acquire it. I’ll own a Ferrari for a few months, and then wonder what it’s like to have a Lamborghini. Or, maybe, I’ll decide I want a helicopter instead of an airplane.” Consequently, he ends up spending a lot of time in front of his computer googling then scanning various websites in search of his next expensive plaything. And even if he successfully locates the object of his desire quickly, there is still the hassle of selling off a possession or two to raise the cash to buy it - something that is getting increasingly tougher to do in today’s depressed economy. Therefore, this website would be the perfect tool to move that property or exotic automobile in a slumping market. “Everybody wants cash today,” declares Schoch, “and everybody is struggling for cash. So I started thinking outside the box to skip the step of getting the cash and go right to the guy who has what I want and I may have what he wants.” LuxuryAssetTrader.com is the website Schoch has developed to do exactly that. It is a literal trading house of upscale items including the usual items such as cars, boats, airplanes, land, timeshares, and residential property as well as ‘out of the box’ valuables like commercial real estate, second deeds of trust, and even a business venture being offered for trade or for sale. All traded without a fee or commission with negotiations carried out by the principals. 22

“Anything of value will work,” he explains. “You never know where you’ll end up,” claims Schoch when he considers the possibilities of trading a Ferrari for a condo in Aspen just in time for ski season or maybe a condo in Miami Beach “just to see what it’s like to live there.” The latter is an example of the added entertainment value of searching his site to find people and objects that pique your interest. “What are you going to buy next?” he says. “You never know, it’s just going to happen.” The service will be free to individuals but there are plans to offer the service to real estate brokers and auto dealers for a fee. He sees advertisers of luxury-oriented goods and services as his main revenue source. Speaking of revenue, although he doesn’t want to get into areas best left to CPAs and tax attorneys, Schoch can see where trading items could possibly lead to tax savings in terms of avoiding a capital gain. But mainly, he sees it as a source of fun, adventure, and a way to move high dollar assets that are sitting in a slumping market. “The possibilities are endless!” “Everybody has something to get rid of,” he states “ why not just see what you can get by going whatever way the wind blows.” This is a one stop shop website for all of your buying, selling, and trading needs.

Mountain Contemporary in Boulder, Colorado By Elyse Umlauf-Garneau

he aesthetic for mountain houses typically entails heavy rustic beams, large stones, and maybe an animal head or two.

Colorado, is really a sculptural glass house that was designed by architect Matthew McMullen of Architectural Manoeuvres in Boulder.

That’s one reason why a Boulder, Colorado, contemporary house that rebuffs those traditions is such a surprise.

The house is situated on a steep 1.24-acre slope, and rather than fighting with nature, McMullen embraced it. The line, “We’ll always have terra”—a twist on a Gone With the Wind quote—was never far from the architect’s mind. Two-story glass walls with no mullions allowed him to deliver a sense of truly living outdoors and let occupants encounter the mood and movement of the mountains and Chautauqua Park that borders the backyard. “At any level, residents can open a door and put their toes out in the grass,” he comments. “Though it’s integrated with nature and has a sculptural quality, the house is still livable.”

The five-bedroom property, being marketed by Legendary Properties Sotheby’s International Realty in Boulder,

That livability stems from an environment of sharp visual lines; luxurious spaces, like a chef’s kitchen, a greenhouse, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a home theater; and beautiful materials and details, such as a hand-carved front door, Honduran mahogany ceilings and floors, and a Macassar ebony stairwell. Another constraint that shaped the house was the city’s solar-shadow ordinance that limits the shadows a new house can cast on neighboring

properties. “A lot of the funkiness of forms and assemblage was driven by those ordinances,” recalls McMullen. Its side effects were interesting symmetry and angles and an interior that got broken up in such a way that the generous 9,716 square feet didn’t feel too massive and overpowering. Among McMullen’s favorite spaces is the north-facing office. “It affords this binocular view of the mountains as they vanish into Wyoming that is very Zen like.” Another favorite is a glass stairwell that hovers over a rock waterfall and leads to the master suite. “It’s a spiritual space where you leave the public part of the day and house behind and move into the private realm,” comments McMullen. “There’s quietness about it and you feel like you’re suspended in time.”

Gioiello sull’ Baia

JEWEL ON SARASOTA BAY SARASOTA, FLORIDA

uilt like a modern-day castle, Gioiello sull’ Baia offers refined, graceful spaces, and commanding views of Sarasota Bay. Its neoclassical architecture recalls grand, Tuscan estates with lavish finishes. Top architects, builders, and interior designers created Gioiello sull’ Baia to live up to its name, which means “jewel on the bay” in Italian.

The home is in Sarasota, an upscale town on the Florida’s west coast with museums, an opera, theaters, and a thriving arts scene. It’s also within walking distance of the cafes, boutiques, galleries, and restaurants on St. Armand’s Circle, which is a popular spot in town. Recently completed, the 6,500-square-foot home incorporates a state-of-the art structure, foundation, roof, and windows into its Old World design. The interior is elegantly appointed with Venetian plaster, stone finishes, intricate moldings, columns, and detailed ceilings. Oversized windows and balconies off the living and entertaining spaces keep the waterfront present throughout the home and allow residents to savor the stunning sunsets. Residents have everything here for the ultimate Florida lifestyle, including resort-style amenities, inside and out. Spa-like baths, a sizable lanai, a waterfront pool, and a spa offer places to relax and relish the home’s refinements. And a deepwater boat dock on Sarasota Bay adds to the estate’s allure. Currently Gioiello sull’ Baia is being offered with a luxurious fifty-five-foot Azimut yacht and a three-person Sea-Doo watercraft. The well-equipped yacht features three staterooms, crew quarters, the latest navigation technology, and high-definition televisions. The Gulf of Mexico is easily accessed from Sarasota Bay, and the typically calm gulf waters make boating a prominent part of the lifestyle. Destinations, such as Venice, Captiva Island, Sanibel Island, and St. Petersburg, are nearby. Also the Florida Keys, Dry Tortugas, and the Bahamas are only a day boat-trip away.

g{xmxwxÜá A Mother and Son Team

Written by: Sam Claxton

iami Realtor Judy Zeder describes herself as having “a triple-A” personality, and that’s a good thing, because at the pace the fifty-fiveyear-old lives, being a regular type-A just wouldn’t do.

The Zeders have a large international client base— Nathan speaks fluent Spanish—that includes Fortune 500 bigwigs, athletes, entrepreneurs, and other VIPs.

Instead of working in separate spheres, mother and son overlap tasks. That way, they can each handle the same clients and cover for each other when necessary. “If we have to be somewhere and won’t be available for awhile, we know we have someone we trust that we can fall back on and who cover for us,” Nathan says. “You don’t have to work twentyfour/seven, although we frequently do.”

In fact, it was her charity work in the Miami area that led her into real estate 15 years ago. “I got to know a lot of people through that part of my life and a lot of them were asking me to recommend a real estate agent,” she says. “A number of people suggested that I get my license. I loved the business right away and have been very blessed. I was successful very early on.”

In addition to nonstop workdays, Judy has an array of outside interests. The Detroit, Michigan, native grew up an avid tennis player and still regularly gets Zeder and Nathan Zeder— out to knock the ball around. (Nathan played at the her twenty-eight-year-old son and another triple-A University of Illinois, and briefly as a pro, before personality—form a potent partnership in Miami, partnering with his mother.)

She’s been happily married for twenty-nine The Zeders’ phones start ringing at seven in the years to an attorney, Jon; they have three children in morning and can go until eleven at night. “We’re their twenties, achievers all. And if that weren’t very hands-on,” Judy says. “This is the kind of enough, Judy sits on the boards of several charitable business that you have to be available seven days a organizations. “I’ve always had a strong instinct week.

When Nathan signed on four and a half years ago, at first Judy was the boss. The arrangement has evolved into a partnership, but one that requires a careful dynamic. “Any time we talk business, we’re able to maintain that relationship,” she explains. “You can’t be in a business discussion and have someone call you ‘Mom’. In the office, it’s professional; out of the office, I’m his mother.”

A problem that has affected the Zeders far less than others. While the mother/son team focuses most of their efforts in the Miami area, they represent a development in Mexico called Playa de Coco and are the Miami agents for a project in North Carolina called Queens Gap.

The transition into being professional peers was toughest at the beginning. “When I came home after playing [professional] tennis for a year, I was living at home and working with Mom,” Nathan says. “It was twenty-four hours a day and very stressful. There was And they also have a sideline venture. “One of our close friends refurbishes jets,” Judy says. “He asked if a learning curve.” I’d sell for him.

What’s an Exclusive Buyer Agent anyway— and why should you care? By Anthony Flesch

Meet Sedona’s Roy Grimm, Ph.D. —one of the most successful Exclusive Buyer Agents in the U.S. Roy Grimm is not your typical realtor. First of all, with a background in education, and a doctorate in the history of education, he seems more professorial than anything else. And he does have a passion for educating real estate buyers—for the past eleven years he’s been enlightening them as to how they can turn the tables of the real estate purchase process to their advantage—instead of favoring the sellers as it has historically. Along with the other 600-odd members of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents, Roy, a former NAEBA Board of Directors member, is passionate about his mission—to represent buyers exclusively, and help them get the best possible result in any real estate transaction.

Who does your real estate agent work for? The answer might surprise you. According to Roy and his colleagues, the intuitive or habitual thing that many people do—to call the listing agent when interested in a property, is actually a very bad idea—since the listing agent represents the seller, and has a fiduciary responsibility to get the seller the best possible price for their property. He finds more truth than fiction in the old real estate joke in which agents say they long for the good old days “when we all worked for the seller, and everyone knew we all worked for the seller—except the buyer!” 58

To illustrate his point, Dr. Grimm recently shared with us an excerpt from an internal memo he wrote to a newly hired agent: “One of the things most of our clients like about our business model is that we don’t have a vested interest in selling them anything. Sure, we want them to buy something eventually, but they listen to what we have to say about a particular property because it isn’t in our company’s inventory and we’re objective in what we say—looking out for their best interests. That’s where much of the trust builds. If we’re only giving them the positives of everything we show them, they’ll turn a deaf ear and just see us as salespeople. “OK, I’m overselling my point here. But I just want to be clear that what we do is not just a marketing ploy: it’s a fundamentally different way of thinking and doing things than the typical real estate model. I’m serious when I say, ‘We don’t sell real estate: we help people buy it intelligently.’’

According to Roy, using an Exclusive Buyer Agent is also the best way to gain maximum advantage from the buyer’s market we currently find ourselves in—which has certainly reached Sedona’s beautiful red rock country. “When you compare Sedona with places like Aspen or Telluride, most of our beautiful properties look like absolute bargains,” according to Grimm. “And now, with our strong buyer’s market, I honestly believe that this is one of the best times to make an investment in this beautiful place that I call home. We’d welcome you as our new neighbors.” In the last decade or so, national consumer advocate authorities have been advocating this approach to buying real estate. In 2005, Consumer Reports, in their last major section on real estate, said, “You can find a true buyer’s agent only at a firm that does not accept listings.... If you use a buyer’s agent, make sure you get one who’s genuine.”

Hollywood Glamour in Palm Springs By Sam Claxton

To be a successful realtor in Palm Springs, California, it helps if you’re a romantic, and can wax poetic about the homes spread throughout a town that became famous as a getaway for the Hollywood stars of yore. Scott Lyle more than fills the bill. He’s a man smitten with the glamour and grandeur of Palm Springs—where he’s sold real estate for thirty years—and has such affection for the properties he lists that it’s infectious. He doesn’t pitch; he crafts loving narratives about homes that clearly make him swoon. He has two favorites at the moment: Les Baux de Palm Springs, a one-of-a-kind estate built into a mountain minutes from town that’s been owned for three decades by Suzanne Somers and Alan Hamel. The other is the Spanish-style mansion on West Hermosa Place where Elizabeth Taylor lived with

CELEBRITY PROPERTIES her third husband, Mike Todd, for a couple of years in the late 1950s. It’s been affectionately called the Elizabeth Taylor Estate ever since.

LES BAUX DE PALM SPRINGS “There’s no way that photography can capture Les Baux de Palm Springs,” Lyle says. “The best way I can describe it is twenty rooms inside and twenty rooms outside, and the outside rooms are carved out of the mountain. Just one of the houses on the [sixty-five-acre] property is fantastic, and there’s seven of them.” The estate, built in the 1920s, has only had three owners.

Somers and Hamel bought the place in 1977, the year they were married. For a decade, they wintered in the home, which was on the smallish side, and then gradually added on, with nothing but the most reverential concern for its French design heritage. “The house was like a sophisticated old lady who needed to be treated with respect,” Somers has said. The couple has decided to sell the home and concentrate on reimagining their place in Malibu, which burned down. They are also planning to build a scaled-down version of Les Baux on adjacent property in Palm Springs.

Along with its inimitable design, the property comes with a staggering list of amenities, including the original swimming pool, refurbished; a rock spa, a 5,000-bottle wine vault; and a mountainside funicular railway carriage that you can ride up the slope to the buildings. An amphitheater, with a towering rock backdrop, has seen performances by many celebrities, among them Barry Manilow (a neighbor), Michael Feinstein, and Merv Griffin, not to mention Somers herself.

Not long after Somers and Hamel moved in, they hired a stonemason, who has stayed on full-time carving out pathways, benches, and “outdoor rooms.”

The estate, listed at $27.5 million, is invisible to downtown Palm Springs because it’s built into a valley near the bottom of a 10,000-foot mountain. But here’s the trick: Palm Springs is very visible from Les Baux. In fact, the property offers breathtaking views all around, from each of its buildings and rock-carved outside areas.

“You literally cannot get to the kitchen without going outside. It’s a great living experience for health-conscious people. You’re living outdoors and indoors, at one with nature, enjoying life. The current owners certainly look like healthy people, huh? I tell folks, ‘If you buy this home, you’ll live longer and have a better life, ’” he chuckles briefly, only half-joking.

“Only in Palm Springs could you pull off such a place,” Lyle says of the property that boasts nearly 10,000 square feet of indoor space and 2,000 square feet of outdoor covered living area.

CELEBRITY PROPERTIES LIZ’S HOUSE The home where Elizabeth Taylor lived “epitomizes Hollywood glamour in the 1930s,” Lyle says. “Walking into it is like entering a Palm Springs home built in 1936, the day after it was built. It’s probably the most beautiful home in the valley.” The Spanish-style manse, within walking distance of downtown Palm Springs, is owned by two men who in 2007 restored it perfectly, right down to the original cabinetry and tile. The 10,226-square-foot house, which sits on 1.5 acres, oozes luxury at every turn. The formal entrance features a courtyard with a three-tiered limestone fountain. The fourroom, 2,000-square-foot master suite boasts the original two-sided fireplace and fourteen-foot vaulted ceilings; a Carerra-marble bath takes center stage. The main house contains two guest suites that join three opulent guest casitas on the grounds.

Liz was particularly fond of the pool. So is Lyle. “It has inlaid Italian tiles and a room that you can go into and look through portholes and see people swimming,” he says with a touch of awe. “Very Hollywood.” The home currently has no residents, but the property does get used. “It’s one of the most sought-after homes to have an event at,” Lyle explains. “It’s very big here in Palm Springs. You’re having a corporate gathering and you want to have an affair away from the hotel, so you have a party at a celebrity estate.... Going to a party at Elizabeth Taylor’s [former] house is the highlight of the trip. Owners make hundreds of thousands a dollars a year leasing it for events, photo shoots, location shoots, and the like.” That’ll help defray the costs of a house that’s already a bargain at $7.8 million.

FOUNTAIN HILLS Leanne and Jarrid Kopras, wanted to ensure that their spacious Fountain Hills, Arizona, property wasn’t one in which they’d end up camped out in just one corner. The couple accomplished the goal by locating the master suite in a way that forces them to walk through the main spaces every morning. That way, no room ends up being abandoned and they never lose sight of the home’s beauty. After all, the 8,800-square-foot house, listed at 5.9 million, sits on a 2.4-acre mountaintop overlooking the sparkling lights of every city in the valley. Leanne, of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty in Scottsdale, recalls counting eighteen different fireworks displays visible from the backyard last Fourth of July. Needless to say, the house was designed to capture the panoramic views the site affords. Once visitors enter, they step into a thirty-three-foot wide living room, featuring glass pocket doors that open to an 1,100-square-foot covered patio. There, a thirty-two-foot wide negative edge pool makes people feel like they’re teetering on the edge of the earth, according to Jarrid. Given the favorable climate, the Koprases made sure the outdoor space would feel like an extension of the house, and using the same rustic travertine flooring inside and outside helps to blur the line between the two spaces. They say the outdoor room has a bit of flash, combining the best of sky, water, earth, and fire. It includes a commercial misting system, an outdoor kitchen, a swim-up bar, three water features, and a fire pit. Those rustic floors also serve to warm up the vast interior. “I’ve been in a lot of large homes, and many are overdone and have a hotel or museum feel,” comments Leanne. Besides the flooring, a sense of warmth comes from three fireplaces, knotty-alder kitchen cabinets, and a roomy kitchen that serves as a family gathering spot. Additional highlights of the four-bedroom house include a seven-seat media room, a five-foot-wide Viking range, and an eight-car garage with oversized bays and a 700square-foot storage room. There’s also 2,600-square-foot space that the Koprases will finish out for the buyer. It could be transformed into a music studio, a gym, or a game room. Leanne says that the house would be a terrific candidate for MTV’s Cribs.

PEBBLE BEACH For golf enthusiasts and car aficionados, Pebble Beach needs no introduction. Pebble Beach Golf Links is perhaps the most famous golf course in the United States and the annual Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance brings some of the most exquisite automobiles in the world to the already-picturesque town. Pebble Beach is peppered with premier golf courses, luxury inns, and scenic properties—among them are Monterey Peninsula Country Club, Spyglass Hill Golf Course, and 17 Mile Drive. It’s a mix that makes Pebble Beach, a private gated community owned by the Pebble Beach Company, a foremost spot for resort-style living on the Monterey Peninsula. With both San Francisco and Silicon Valley less than two hours away, Pebble Beach has been a favorite getaway spot since the early twentieth century. “Pebble Beach has a great central location,” says Peter Butler, Realtor with Sotheby’s International Realty in Pebble Beach and a twelve-year resident of this prestigious community. “It is the perfect spot for a second home or a weekend golf getaway.” The area’s desirability is reflected in its stable real estate market, and, although some market segments are slower, Butler says, homes priced above $5 million haven’t been as affected. “The velocity of our high-end market hasn’t slowed down,” he says. “These homes are continuing to be sought after and appreciate in value.” And cash is king in Pebble Beach. “One reason Pebble Beach is immune to the cycles of the national real estate market is that most purchases here are second homes and made with discretionary income so they don’t need a bank loan,” Butler explains. “Typically price is less important to most of our buyers than finding the right property and they can afford to be patient and wait, then pay for what they really want.” With no further land development possible on Pebble Beach’s Monterey Peninsula, home prices are kept at a premium. “Pebble Beach real estate is the perfect storm,” Butler says. “It is finite supply and infinite demand.” The Pebble Beach luxury market remains rock solid. “Things are still trending up here,” says Butler. “Our median home price is well over $2 million and continuing to rise.”

DENVER Denver came to be when the first few flakes of gold were found in 1858, though back then it was a dusty mining camp. Today it’s a bustling metropolis and its residents see the value in its high quality of life and picturesque location in the Rocky Mountain foothills. Nicknamed “The Mile High City” for its mile-high elevation on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol building, Denver may be a major metropolitan area, but it is a veritable outdoor playground with the largest city park system in the country. Residents enjoy an active lifestyle, and its extensive trail system makes hiking or biking an accessible part of everyday life. Denver is also close to several world class-ski resorts, such as Keystone, Copper Mountain, and Winter Park. “You can ski in the mountains in the morning and play nine holes of golf in Denver that same afternoon,” says Gary Lorhman, cofounder of Fuller Towne and Country Properties who has been actively selling real estate in the Denver metro area for more than thirty years.

GARY K. LOHRMAN

The Denver Art Museum, with its new wing designed by star architect Daniel Libeskind, and the Denver Performing Arts Complex play central roles in the city’s thriving cultural scene. Sports enthusiasts have no shortage of enjoyment here as well, as the city is home to professional teams and division champions like the Colorado Rockies baseball team.

Denver’s residential options are plentiful and include the desirable Seventh Avenue Historic District and the Denver Country Club neighborhoods, noted for their period architecture and charm. Lorhman says that Denver’s real estate market offers great value and stability. His firm alone sold more than $1 billion in real estate this past year, he says. The market for luxury properties remains desirable too. His clientele, which includes professional athletes, enjoy brisk sales of some of their homes. He says so far this year a $1.5-million property sold on the first day for the full asking price, and another, a $1.8-million property, received multiple offers and sold within two weeks. It’s no wonder people want to live here: more than 300 days of sunshine a year coupled with a mild climate allow its citizens to enjoy all the city has to offer.

CONNECTICUT RIDGEFIELD Nestled in the foothills of the Berkshires, Ridgefield is a particularly picturesque place with rolling hills, a rocky landscape, and a historic downtown. Settled by English colonists in 1708, Ridgefield celebrates its 300th anniversary this year. Located just about an hour from Manhattan, Ridgefield became a fashionable place to summer in the late-nineteenth century and the area consequently still boasts gorgeous country estates on sizable acreage. Ridgefield is the kind of place where history surrounds you. Historic mansions line Main Street, and the town still has many original buildings and Revolutionary War sites. Over the years, many notable people, such as artist Frederic Remington and playwright Eugene O’Neill, have called Ridgefield home. Today, it’s a chic, affluent town of more than 24,000 people, just thirty minutes from Stamford and White Plains. Its limited available land has kept overdevelopment at bay and real estate stable, says Laura Freed, a Realtor with William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty. “Ridgefield has great schools; fantastic social, cultural, and recreational offerings; and proximity to many corporate headquarters,” Freed, a Connecticut native and former certified public accountant, cites as other reasons for the market’s desirability. Among Freed’s luxury listings are some astonishing properties. Her highest priced listing, at $10 million (pictured on page 113), is not only unique for Ridgefield, but also it is one of the few private residences in the United States designed by architect Rafael Viñoly. Viñoly is known for his large-scale cultural, civic, and museum projects, such as Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City and the Tokyo International Forum in Japan, and was one of the finalists for the new World Trade Center in New York City. One of Freed’s “best values right now” is a European-influenced French Country manor (pictured center right) on more than twelve acres with two ponds, a dock, a bridge, and formal courtyards and gardens. It has a 9,000-square-foot main house with six bedrooms and a detached 2,000-square-foot office or guest cottage. The home has been completely remodeled with the finest craftsmanship and materials, and Freed says, it’s “a steal for $3.4 million.” Another property (pictured top right) that Freed is marketing is a newly constructed estate that was influenced by five historic Virginia brick plantation homes and is period accurate, circa 1785. Priced at $7.995 million, this home offers state-of-the-art technology and appointments with the grandeur of a bygone era, and its setting is on a six-acre pond in the sought-after equestrian area of town. Freed is also representing Village Park, a new subdivision (pictured bottom right). “It is rare to find developable land in town, and I am thrilled to be working with one of the most-sought after builders in town, Reed Whipple of Heritage Home Construction, on a seven-home private cul-de-sac project just two blocks from Main Street,” Freed continues, “these homes start at $1.795 million and feature distinctive shingle-style architecture, vintage-inspired details, and designer appointments, all in a parklike setting in the heart of Ridgefield’s historic village.”

MODERN MINIMALIST MASTERPIECE

RIDGEFIELD, CONNECTICUT

Every aspect of this extraordinary home is an original work of art. This 5-acre hilltop residence embodies the heart and soul of a passionate art collector who together with Rafael Viﾃｱoly, internationally acclaimed architect, created a true masterpiece of form and function. Feel your spirits soar as you ascend the heated driveway past sweeping stone walls and majestic rock gardens, to reach a massive radius patterned Belgian block courtyard. The climb continues up a nearly 100-foot long, 21-foot wide, glass canopied granite stairway which rises to meet the entry foyer. You are offered unobstructed views right through the glass covered interior courtyard with 60-foot heated lap pool, to the rear exterior travertine patio and second pool. There is a sense of boundlessness with the pool room's extensive concrete side wall which actually juts through the rear glass wall and disappears into the depths of the outdoor pool. The interior pool room serves as the central common area linking the home's two main wings housing the great room on one side, and guest quarters on the other. The crowning glory of this miraculous home is the owner's private tower, annexed via a glass bridge, and containing the master suite, penthouse office, and rooftop observation deck with unparalleled 360-degree views. With over 16,000 square feet, this home contains only 2 bedrooms, a detail which belies the sheer scale of the place. The great room features a floating, undulating teak roof, and radiant heated travertine floor. This expansive space offers unobstructed 180-degree views and encompasses the high tech kitchen offering an artful combination of Wenge African hardwood cabinetry and stainless steel, open dining room, and living room with sculptural blackened steel fireplace by native Ridgefielder David Edelman. The second wing comprises a guest bedroom overlooking masterful rock gardens. The 54-foot private tower contains the master suite with Mercedes Benz lacquered floor to ceiling closets, teak floor, and striking mirrored bath. Rafael Viﾃｱoly's work is known for its sustained structural originality that transcends the passing fads of architectural movements, as is supremely exemplified in this truly impassioned home.

A WORK OF ART DECO By Cathleen McCann

ith its extensive network of rivers and waterways leading easily out to the Atlantic Ocean, Fort Lauderdale has long been a favorite spot for yachting. Overlooking the New and Estelle rivers is a magnificent three-story Art Decoinspired home that epitomizes the coveted Fort Lauderdale lifestyle.

Located in the exclusive Harbor Beach neighborhood, the $7.48million property takes stylishness to the next level. “It is everything that you ever wanted in a house and has things that you never even dreamed of,” says Gayle Borden, the Realtor with Coldwell Banker Previews International in Fort Lauderdale who is listing the property. Almost every room in this approximately 11,000-square-foot home

captures spectacular views through its three-story glass wall. The perfect place to entertain family and friends, the six-bedroom, seven-full and two-half bath home contains everything that you would expect to find in a luxury home of this quality, yet it has unexpected features. In addition to a gourmet kitchen, formal living and dining rooms, a pool, a spa, a butler’s pantry, and a caterer’s kitchen, its list of amenities includes an Art Deco-style theater with leather reclining seating for twelve and state-of-theart electronics. Three distinctive loft-style bars are located on each level of the home. The main floor’s bar showcases a 400-gallon saltwater aquarium and 360-degree seating. In the game loft, located on the second floor, a full bar with a billiards table and a waterfront balcony make it a favorite retreat. Upstairs, a rooftop bar and lounge area with a wraparound balcony takes full advantage of the water and sky views. “The house is a work of art that you can live in,” Borden says. The rooms themselves are dramatic. For example, the foyer and thirty-five-foot-high rotunda showcase a “floating” staircase and an artfully designed twelve-person elevator, setting the stage for the home. Marble floors, coffered ceilings, and distinctive lighting fixtures by Dale Chihuly and Lalique complement the Art Deco décor. Adding to the home’s lavish Art Deco feel is an approximately 3,000-square-foot master suite with luxurious touches, such as a two-story marble bath with a spa tub and two separate showers as well as a library with builtin bookcases, a conference table, and a wet bar. Other highlights are a 100-foot deepwater dock that can accommodate motor and sailing yachts and a three-bay air-conditioned garage.

DESTINATION: SEA ISLAND, GEORGIA

A FAMILY TRADITION By Cathleen McCann

privately owned island on the Georgia coast, Sea Island has been attracting the well-heeled for more than eighty years. The Jones family, owners of Sea Island Company since its founding in the 1920s, has stepped up the level of luxury at the resort with a recent $500-million renovation that rebuilt and redefined the resort’s sixty acres of amenities.

The Cloister, one of Sea Island’s main attractions, was completely rebuilt and retains the period grandeur of the Addison Miznerdesigned original. “The Cloister is now a smaller hotel, closer to the Black Banks River, geared to serving guests who appreciate the very finest resort experience.” says Al Brown, senior vice president of real estate for Sea Island Company.

Residential possibilities on Sea Island include luxury town homes, cottages, and single-family homes. The average price of a home on Sea Island is now $3.4 million. And for families who want something extremely hassle free, the resort’s new Cloister Ocean Residences add fractional-ownership opportunities to the mix. The fully furnished one- to three-bedroom condominiums, priced from $575,000 to $1.475 million, showcase a private pool, gated entries, and private balconies. Buyers are responding favorably to fractionally owned condominiums, as Brown says more than half have sold. Even with many new buildings, activities, and homes, the resort has stayed true to its history. “One of the main things Sea Island didn’t change is our commitment to families,” Brown notes. “It is a kid’s paradise.”

The move has paid off and garnered The Cloister numerous accolades, including a Mobil Five-Star award in 2008 for the Georgian Room, its fine-dining restaurant. Also receiving high honors and attracting golf aficionados are the resort’s three eighteen-hole golf courses redesigned by Tom Fazio, Rees Jones, and Davis Love III. The island’s other highlights include the Sea Island Beach Club, a new 65,000-square-foot spa and fitness center, the Sea Island Tennis Center with eight Har-Tru courts and year-round instruction, and the Shooting School with clay-target shooting for all ages. In addition, an extensive array of professionally supervised children’s activities is offered, giving parents peace of mind and a chance to indulge in some time for themselves. It is no wonder that Sea Island has remained a favorite with generations of families. “So many of our guests are the children and grandchildren of the people who have been coming here for a long time,” Brown says.

EXOTIC DESTINATIONS

Paradise Redefined By Cathleen McCann

Setting out for exotic ports of call can lead to finding good times in the most picturesque locations around the globe. And with more luxurious options for sale or for rent than ever before, you can find a residence to suit your fancy, whether it’s escaping to a private retreat by yourself or to a rented villa to chill out with friends and family that you’re after. Buying or building a slice of paradise, in many instances, can be a sound investment, especially with companies willing to handle renting vacation properties while they’re not in use.

Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, is still a sought-after place, though today’s seekers happen to be tourists wanting to enjoy its breathtaking beaches and unparalleled beauty.

NATURAL ASSETS Before its independence in 1962, Tobago was one of the most sought-after spots in the Caribbean with France, Britain, and Holland all vying for its control. Tobago, now part of the

Sir William Young was among those that signed the Tobago Forest Reserve treaty. Young’s gorgeous property, the Indian Point Estate, is now for sale. Located on the southern tip of Tobago, Indian Point Estate encompasses eighty-two ocean-

Coral reefs, waterfalls, and mountains are among Tobago’s many natural assets, making it a prime eco-tourist destination. The oldest, legally protected forest preserve in the Western Hemisphere was guaranteed by a treaty signed in the 1700s, making Tobago ahead of its time in conservation.

130 feet into the waters below La Quebrada cliffs. Even Acapulco’s architecture looks gravity defying with homes hugging steep hills, offering its residents spectacular vistas.

The pristine, undeveloped property has many possibilities, one of which is a spot for new luxury hotel and spa. “A bridge can link both properties and there is room for a heliport,” says Naishan Khan, the broker marketing Indian Point Estate. Its secluded countryside setting belies the fact that it is only about thirty minutes from the capital city, Scarborough, and Crown Point International Airport.

Old World villas, condominiums, and fractional-ownership opportunities are some of the residential possibilities that take advantage of Acapulco’s unique landscape. “Most of the homes in Acapulco are perched along the hillside with heartstopping views,” Kruger notes. She feels that the best part to buying here may be the area’s value. “You get a lot of home for the money here.”

Also in Tobago’s favor is the government’s approach to developing Trinidad and Tobago in the next twenty years. Its development plan’s motto is “Clean, Green, and Serene,” which should add to Tobago’s eco-tourist appeal in the future. “Tobago is considered one of the best spots in the Caribbean for investment due to the appreciation in value of its real estate,” Khan notes.

One of Kruger’s listings, Casa Iguana, offers the cliff-dwelling architectural experience that Acapulco is known for. Kruger affectionately refers to the $4.9-million, 18,000-square-foot home as the “rock star house” and she says it ‘sits like a fortress perched above the Pacific Ocean.’”

DRAMATIC LANDSCAPES Acapulco’s plentiful beaches, gorgeous landscapes, and legendary nightlife have enticed an international crowd to this hot spot on Mexico’s Pacific coast since the 1920s. A new performing-arts center, infrastructure improvements, and a shopping/entertainment complex called Puerto Paraiso Plaza have all helped fuel a renaissance.

Casa Iguana’s main house contains two master suites and an attached three-bedroom guest villa has an additional bunkhouse that sleeps twelve. A ten-story elevator opens onto the home’s outdoor dining area, which is large enough for a live band and also has a palapa with a bar and dining space. Also outdoors is a pool with built-in headrests and drink holders.

“Acapulco has the magical combination of hypnotic charm and indescribable beauty,” says Ruth Kruger, owner-broker of Worldwide Exclusive Properties, based in Aspen, Colorado. “Its nickname is the ‘Paradise of the Americas.’” It’s a place with dramatic landscapes. Miles of pristine beaches beckon beachgoers to relax. Cliff divers perform acrobatics as they plunge

“This dramatic home takes the concept of oceanfront property to a whole new level,” Kruger says.

LEISURELY PURSUITS For the intrepid traveler, the freedom to choose between whatever exotic locale suits your fancy may be the ticket. Luxurious beach, mountain, desert, and countryside getaways can be found in every corner of the world. The only decision that awaits you is selecting where to go. One company that has been leading the way in the luxury vacation-home rental arena is the Society of Leisure Enthusiasts. “Vacation rentals are a great alternative to luxury hotels or owning your own vacation home,” says Michael McFadden, CEO and cofounder of the Denver, Colorado-based company. “You enjoy the ambience of high-end accommodations and save money, versus staying in a luxury hotel or owning property.” Privacy and freedom are cited as top reasons why people choose vacation-home rentals over hotels or second-home ownership, according to McFadden. “You are free from the expense, responsibilities, and being tied down to the same location year after year,” he notes.

168 EXOTIC DESTINATIONS

Another bonus is homeowners in desirable vacation destinations can list their properties for rent on the society’s Web site and use the money to offset the cost of renting vacation properties for their own travels. Soaking up the ambience of an exotic destination is all part of the vacation experience. And vacation rentals with outdoor living spaces offer the ideal spot to view the beauty of a place. The society makes that the focal point of its new initiative called Top Decks, which identifies vacation homes with one-of-a-kind outdoor spaces. One such “Top Deck” property, for example, is Villa la Laguna in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Its outdoor living area is equipped with two pools and the exterior space is large enough for 150 people. Another one is Alpen Ridge in Telluride, Colorado, which boasts two decks next to a ski run. With more than 2,000 qualified luxury properties available in forty-five different destinations around the world and new inventory being added all of the time, the Society of Leisure Enthusiasts offers ample exotic locales and unique properties to choose from. Prices range from $5,000 to $50,000 per week.

SAINT JOHN, A MARITIME MARVEL By Cathleen McCann

ituated on the Bay of Fundy and the mouth of the St. John River, Saint John is Canada’s oldest city and a picturesque spot for waterfront living. It boasts significant maritime heritage, famously friendly people, and a quaint city center.

With easy access to the Atlantic Ocean as well as the Kennebecasis River, Belleisle Bay, and Grand Lake, Saint John has long been a haven for boaters for its pristine and uncrowded waters.

completely surrounded by water and has two sandy beaches. What’s more, the property is easily accessible to the mainland via a causeway. A homesite with 270-degree water views is ready for building. Deepwater close to its shore allows for space to moor or dock a 150-foot yacht. Biweekly sailboat races from the neighboring Royal Kennebecasis Yacht Club add to the maritime ambience. “The beauty of Saint John,” Bacon says, “is it’s a small, historic maritime city, with fantastic waterways, and friendly people.”

“People come to Saint John from around the world to see the Reversing Falls Rapids,” says Katherine Bacon, certified Fine Homes International Specialist with Prudential Summit Real Estate in Saint John. This maritime marvel occurs when the tides actually reverse the direction of water, allowing boaters to enter the St. John River during “slack tide.” Saint John is Canada’s best-kept secret, she says, because it offers a terrific value for the money. It also has the winning combination of upscale waterfront residences and the amenities of a big city. Plus Saint John’s close proximity to the United States is an added bonus. “You can purchase a large waterfront property for approximately C$550,000 in some areas here,” says Bacon, even though increased demand for vacation homes and new jobs in the area have fueled the market and “prices have risen steadily over the past two years.” One of Bacon’s listings is a stunning example of the waterfront properties available in the Saint John area. It’s a property of approximately ten acres on Robertsons Point, located in the upscale suburb of Millidgeville and on the Kennebecasis River. The private peninsula, listed at C$3.75 million, is almost

NEVADA

By Sam Claxton

LAS VEGAS Contrary to popular perception, Las Vegas, fabled city of high rollers, has a relatively new luxury home market. Richard Lee, vice president and public relations director of Vegas-based First American Title Company, says that the grand total of houses that sold for more than a million dollars in the city in 1995 was … two. These days, he says, there’s a development in the nearby foothills called Ascaya selling lots—lots—for $1.2 million to $18 million. “The high-end market is booming,” says Kirby Presswood, a Prudential Americana Realtor in Vegas for twenty years. The biggest problem: A lack of inventory. “There’s a shortage of homes above $3 million,” she adds. “At the same time, I do more showings on homes over $3 million than $300,000.” The luxury-housing market’s latest trend is high-rise condominiums with huge square footage, extravagant amenities, and—perhaps the biggest selling point—views of the breathtaking, ever-growing Vegas skyline, including scenic Red Rock Mountain. A good example is One Queensridge Place, at the high end of the city’s condo living, located about fifteen minutes from the strip. Units range from $2 million to $25 million for the 20,000-square-foot penthouse.

KIRBY PRESSWOOD Prudential Americana C 702.249.4805 T 702.373.9789 | F 702.233.8514 kirby@kirbysellsvegas.com www.kirbysellsvegas.com

Presswood herself chose to live there because of the development’s “custom home feel.” And, she says, about sixty-five percent of the owners are Las Vegas locals who previously owned custom homes but “wanted to simplify their lives with low-maintenance high-rise living.” One may wonder why in a city like Las Vegas, surrounded by all that open desert, developers are going vertical. One major reason is that much of the land surrounding Las Vegas is federally owned and protected, which curbs suburban sprawl. In fact, most luxury houses in the Vegas area sit in master-planned communities on lots of one-half to one acre. There are few expansive Las Vegas estates. “Within the valley, there’s very little space,” Lee says. “In fact, there’s been some comment that in twenty years, the only brand-new home you’ll be able to get in Las Vegas will be a condo.” A condo with a very scintillating view.

SAN JUAN ISLANDS The San Juan Islands, about sixty miles north of Seattle, are often called “the Martha’s Vineyard of the Pacific Northwest.” The chamber of commerce also boasts that the islands—Orcas, Lopez, and San Juan—have “247 days of sunshine and half the rain of Seattle.” The San Juans are among several areas of luxury homes in Washington State. On the islands, prices range from $1 million to $6 million and are dominated by the contemporary Northwest craftsman style. The islands have an eclectic charm to them, with a vibrant arts scene and individualistic people. They’re the kind of place where, Realtor Wally Gudgell of Windermere Real Estate says, “Fortune 500 CEOs and locals mingle freely as friends,” and “who you are intrinsically is more important than your background or the job you do.” “The San Juan Islands have been kind of a second-home recreational market,” says Gudgell. “But some of that’s converting and we’re seeing more and more people live permanently on the islands.”

LOPEZ ISLAND

MARY P. SNYDER WALLY GUDGELL Windermere Real Estate/ Northwest, Inc. T 206.324.0000 | T 360.507.5443 msnyder@windermere.com wally@windermere.com www.windermere.com

Each San Juan Island has its own culture and Lopez Island is known as “The Friendly Isle.” Perhaps that’s because it’s the first ferry stop from Anacortes and “welcomes” visitors and residents to all the islands. “It is a local tradition to wave at each passing car, support your neighbors when they are in need, yet strictly honor one another’s privacy,” Gudgell says. Lopez Village, about four miles from the ferry landing, serves as the charming center of island life with marinas, a farmer’s market, galleries, restaurants, and essential amenities. Before residents and visitors reach the village, though, they will pass by Lopez Islands Winery, the county’s oldest winery and a producer of organically grown grapes and fine wines. “Fresh home-grown products, support of local farmers, and devotion to sustainable living is important,” says Gudgell. “[Lopez] Islanders are passionate about conservation, marine preservation, and philanthropy as well.”
