PUBLISHER’S LETTER Dear Readers, Those of you who have been reading our magazine for the past 16 years won’t be surprised by my message in this anniversary issue. It is a message of heartfelt thanks and appreciation for our loyal clients and advertisers, especially through the difficult past couple of years. We believe the real estate recession is fading away, that this is a good time to buy in the luxury home market, and that real estate will remain a good long-term investment. The luxury homes featured in this issue are truly the cream of the crop, beginning with my PUBLISHER’S SHOWCASE, Rocking DK Ranch in Bitterroot Valley, Montana. This rustic log and stone estate is set on a mile and a half of the Bitterroot River and 181 acres. You won’t want to miss the article and pictorial on pages 28 and 29. Our FEATURED PROPERTY editorials include A French Masterpiece in Saddle River, New Jersey; Four Seasons Private Residences in Seattle, Washington; the Huntsman Estate in Deer Valley, Utah (my favorite photo is of the garage); and Indian Creek Island in Miami, Florida. All are luxurious properties in their own individual styles. Read about unique communities and properties in our MARKET INSIGHT features. In this edition, we highlight everything from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Architecture to Australia’s Gold Coast, and in between in Fairhope, Alabama; Saratoga Springs, New York; Palos Verdes, California and Orange County, California. I hope you enjoy all of the features in this month’s issue. Once again, we thank all of our loyal readers, clients and advertisers.

HUNTSMAN ESTATE Deer Valley, Utah By Britta Dragicevic
D
eer Valley, Utah is one of the most exclusive alpine ski resorts in the United States, consistently rated the number one ski resort by Ski magazine for the last four years. A venue of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Deer Valley offers upscale amenities and caters to an affluent clientele. It continues to host competitions for the International Ski Federation and is one of the few remaining ski resorts to forbid snowboarding (snowboarding is available at adjacent resorts), and limit its daily ticket sales. “Owning property in Deer Valley is very desirable for those looking for exceptional skiing and an exclusive community,” says Paul Benson, of Summit Sotheby’s International Realty in Park City, Utah. “Typically, half acre ski in ski out lots sell for $3 to 5 million in the exclusive neighborhoods such as Red Cloud.” The Huntsman Estate, represented by Benson and Shane Herbert, is one of the last remaining large parcels to come available in Deer Valley. With 63 acres and a 22,000 square foot estate lodge, the property offers a very rare opportunity to own an expansive estate in this area. “It also offers the buyer the opportunity to parcel off up to 20 one-acre lots, which at the current market prices would allow one to quite literally pay for the entire estate,” Benson says. The size of the estate affords privacy, is gated and the property has hosted high-profile, high-security guests under the ownership of John and Karen Huntsman, Sr. It is ideal for getting away from it all while maintaining a sophisticated luxury lifestyle in a beautiful mountain landscape.

Each bedroom suite has a private bathroom and walk-in closet, but the master bedroom suite is clearly the most luxurious of the bedrooms: You’ll find a sitting room with a built-in bar and walk-out balcony, a private bathroom featuring an oversized Whirlpool bath with built-in led televisions behind mirrors and a make-up vanity with marble counters, a fireplace, surround sound in the master suite, and oversized walk-in closets. To top it off, the master suite continues on the third floor featuring an oversized closet and a changing room. The third floor also features a playroom with a full marble bathroom, as well as an office. Though the majority of the estate gives way to a classical style of architecture and design, some features of the estate are on the brink of technology, like the elevator that reaches all four floors of the property. Take it down to the lower level, and you’ll find other cutting-edge technology in rooms like the professional theater with 13 powered leather custom seating and top-of-the-line audio and video equipment, and the golf simulator room with top courses around the world. The lower level also features a large gym, a maid’s room, a billiard room, a card room, a wine cellar with climate control, a study room, a powder room and four oversized garages floored with skid-free ceramic tiles. In the backyard of the French estate, amenities are abundant as well. A grand water park includes a pool with a water slide, four 20

INDIAN CREEK ISLAND Miami, Florida

FEATURED PROPERTY FLORIDA
Resort home oasis that elevates nature to a starring role... By Britta Dragicevic Unrivaled. No other home in Miami has achieved this level of artful contemplation, broadness of thought nor can it command a price in this stellar range. Few have possessed the passion to create a home resort oasis that elevates nature to a special starring role with a design that flows with ease, grace and simple beauty. Fueled by the worldcultural interests of the owners, 3 Indian Creek Island Drive on exclusive Indian Creek Island in Miami is a testament to the highest of standards in the luxury market today. This 30,000 square foot new construction "Resort Home Oasis" is presented by Jill Eber and Jill Hertzberg of The Jills® of Coldwell Banker in Miami. “This home is on two magnificent acres with about 200 feet of water frontage. There’s room to dock a 75 foot yacht and nearby marinas for larger vessels. The security on this island is impeccable—Indian Creek Village has its own police force who monitor the waterways and the island. No one is admitted to the island unless they have a resident’s permission,” Eber says. Indian Creek Village is the most prestigious island in Miami—there are only 32 waterfront homes on the 300 acre island. In the middle of the island is an 18-hole championship golf course with a private country club. “This is a really beautiful island,” Eber says. 3 Island Creek Island Drive is designed as a series of pavilions interconnected by stone and waterways. Light flows into the house from

Rocking
DK
Ranch
Bitterroot Valley, Montana By Nicole Lauber Nestled in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana is the Rocking DK Ranch encompassing seven ponds and 1.5 miles of Bitterroot River, a well-known fishery. Constructed with an exterior of rustic logs, a finer finish meets the eye inside. Massive structural logs from the Salish National Forest, blessed by the tribal chief, are contrasted to the finished walls to allow the easy display of artwork. The finished walls aren’t the only unique feature to the ranch— the property is set on a mile and a half of the Bitterroot River so one can enjoy nature and wildlife. “I personally feel that this is the best amenity,” Jane says. “The views of the Bitterroot River, the Totem Peaks and the Bitterroot National Forest from the ranch are absolutely astounding.” The Rocking DK Ranch, a property of 181 acres, was designed by its current owner, Kelley Floyd. Kelley designed the rustic and elegant ranch with over 11,000 square feet of living space that includes five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, a wine cellar and a home theater. The house is surrounded by 3,200 feet of decking and includes a magnificent outdoor entertainment area with pizza oven. A gate house, a river cottage and a barn with a guest house on top are all on the property, giving a total of 11 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. Perhaps the most notable feature inside the property is the 400-ton fireplace in the middle of the house that reaches higher than the second story and has a tree wrapped around it. Two mantels face opposite sides—one warms the dining room that features a serving buffet and bar, while the other side faces a great room and entertainment area.

MARKET INSIGHT
BEYOND REAL ESTATE: A MARKETPLACE FOR ARCHITECTURE By Crosby Doe Art and architecture—so often they’re inexorably linked, and for good reason. Whether subliminally or consciously, both art and architecture spatially and visually define and shape how an individual, culture, or country views itself and projects itself to the outside world. Through these mediums, we express who and what we are: our history, creativity, aspirations, triumphs and failures (think ruins). A plethora of books and publications linking art and architecture fills our libraries and graces our coffee tables. Most titles start with “The Art and Architecture of…” Just fill in the blank: Ancient Egypt, Japan, Italy, the Shakers, New York, the Southwest and the Boston Public Library, to name a few. Who could say between art and architecture which is culturally more important? And yet, in the world of commerce, there has been a massive disconnect between the way we treat and value the masterpieces of art vis-à-vis architecture. The recent sale of Andy Warhol’s business lunch self-portrait for $38.4 million illustrates the point: For that money, you could buy all 12 properties listed for sale by the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, and Wright is acknowledged as the greatest architect of the 20th century. The 12 include some of Wright’s most important works, such as the Millard House, which was recently nominated to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Oh, and after

snapping up these treasures, you would still have nearly $10 million left over to pick up a few pieces now available by the likes of Louis Kahn, Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra and Phillip Johnson. And then you’d still have a couple of million left over for maintenance or travel expenses to pay visits (food for thought for anyone looking to leave a significant legacy). The fundamental challenge in terms of valuation and treatment in our architectural inheritance is that architecture—all of it, the greatest and the least of it, residential, and especially commercial—has been valued and treated almost solely as “real estate.” It is sold primarily through Multiple Listing Services across the country, lumped in and valued with tract houses, McMansions, condos, foreclosures and stucco boxes. Agents and appraisers are trained, and buyers are influenced, to value property based on local “comparables”—average prices per square foot in the area with some adjustments for quality and condition. This works fairly well for the general real estate practice, but in terms of highly regarded architecture, the value of Fallingwater in reality has little to do with the value of the farmhouse down the street. This is where architecture is more akin to art than real estate. Like art, architecture is the product of tremendous thought and inspiration. It is generally the reflection of the individual’s vision, or the need to push boundaries and solve problems. It comes from a desire to create a design that not only suits, but enhances, a lifestyle--and not because it has great walk-in closets or a spa tub in the master bath, but because it
creates an experience or evokes emotion. When attention is paid to every detail, architecture can take one’s breath away as easily as a Rothko masterpiece. Some realtors often discount the aesthetic value of architecture with comments such as “You can’t put it in a suitcase and take it with you,” and “the three rules of real estate are: location, location, location.” Sure, these are factors—the same Richard Neutra house would sell for less in Fresno than it would in the Hollywood Hills—but given its cultural importance, as well as the personal enhancement architecture brings to our own lives, those arguments ring hollow. The physical treatment of architecture has suffered as well, with its millstone label as real estate. If we own real estate, we are supposed to fix it up! When Steve Wynn put his elbow through his Picasso, you didn’t hear, “Ah, now is a good time to think about making a few improvements.” With real estate, even some of our greatest architectural treasures have suffered alteration beyond recognition and demolition. Out-of-scale marble baths, walk-in closets and granite countertops have been installed in structures never originally intended to contain them. Could one imagine the Mona Lisa being “upgraded” while art historians and museums cheer and applaud? previous page above: Millard House (La Miniatura) by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Architecture deserves a more sensitive understanding, and savvy owners and investors, as well as buyers, are beginning to recognize it.

By joining this distinct marketplace for architecture, these important life-enhancing treasures will more readily achieve the valuations and careful preservation they deserve. Your participation is invited, either as a buyer looking for a work of architecture that will complement and enhance your lifestyle or collecting interest, or as a representative or owner who has a qualified work of architecture for sale. It is a fitting way to promote the continuity of this art form--and join the legacy of the past with the promise of the future.

television ad directors Joseph Pytka and David Zander began to collect. Wealthy connoisseurs, such as Michael LaFetra and Lord Palumbo, also collected and were rewarded for their efforts. By the 1990s, the auction houses jumped in, and prices for good works of architecture soared: Mies van der Rohe’s 1,500-square-foot, one-bedroom Farnsworth House outside Chicago sold for $7.5 million, and Pierre Koenig’s 1,320-square-foot Case Study house #21 in Los Angeles jumped from $390,000 in 1997 to a sale price of $3.185 million at auction in 2007. Still not approaching top art prices, the market was looking bright for the valuation and preservation of architecture. Appreciation came to a standstill when Christie’s Auction House failed to close their $19.1 million sale of Richard Neutra’s Kaufmann Desert House in Palm Springs, California in May 2008. That setback, along with the collapse of the mortgage market that year, pulled even our greatest architectural treasures backwards from artistic and cultural valuation toward real estate valuation once again. Panic legislation over appraisal abuses within the real estate industry crippled appraisers’ use of added value based on architectural significance. Even with these challenges, the market for architecture is once again moving forward. Despite a crippled economy, the highest sale price ever recorded in the MLS in Manhattan Beach, California went to a work in original condition by architect Raymond Kappe. Today more than ever there’s a need for a marketplace exclusively for architecture outside of traditional real estate marketing outlets. To fill this need, architectureforsale.com was created to showcase important works of architecture for sale, and to provide a point of reference for other properties of architectural and cultural merit (in many cases their importance as architecture may not be recognized in standard MLS listing formats) around the www.duPontREGISTRY.com

By Britta Dragicevic
cottsdale, Arizona is home to some of the most gorgeous year-round, dry, sun-kissed weather—which creates an ideal location for some of the most prestigious golf clubs and communities in America. “You have two true luxury areas in the Phoenix metro—Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. Scottsdale has done better than any other zip code so far this year,” says Lisa Wadey, Realtor with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, Private Client Group. “In my opinion, we’ve hit bottom and inventory is quickly being absorbed.” “I’m hearing people say they want to buy but think they should wait a bit longer. Right now, I wouldn’t wait. We had a near record month for sales in March rivaling April 2005. Another thing to consider is that the exclusive clubs have incentives now that will probably never be offered again.” Lisa Wadey, an avid golfer, is an accomplished residential luxury specialist and has been a licensed realtor since 2002 with over $100,000,000 in sales to date. With an international clientele, Lisa’s forte includes listing and buyer’s representation for estates and land, as well as discriminating private properties and golf communities. Married to a professional golfer and a daughter of a lifetime PGA member, Lisa offers unique expertise in golf residential real estate and enjoys helping buyers find properties that meet their lifestyle and golf desires.

CALIFORNIA — LAGUNA BEACH AND NEWPORT BEACH
W
By Nicole Lauber
elcome to Laguna Beach and Newport Beach—two cities on the southern coast of California that are well-known for the luxurious lifestyles they bring to those who live there and visit. About 85,000 residents call Newport Beach and its incorporated areas home. “There are numerous reasons to live here: the weather, all the outdoor activities, the amenities, the performing arts, sports, the views of the ocean and more,” says Lee Ann Canaday, owner/broker with RE/MAX Fine Homes and The Canaday Group in Laguna Beach and Newport Beach for 30 years. Water sports, such as yachting, boating, surfing and windsurfing, are popular in Newport Beach because of the great weather. “Summers and springs are fabulous—it’s sunny but it’s not too hot,” Lee Ann says. “And in the winter, mid-Westerner visitors wear shorts.” But if you want to take a break from all the activity, you can head south on Coast Highway for 20 minutes to get to Laguna Beach, a small town with 25,000 residents. Aside from having great beaches and shopping, Laguna Beach is known for its huge arts influence. The town has held the annual Festival of Arts each summer since 1932, and with that comes the Pageant of the Masters, where performance artists make famous masterpieces come to life. “Living here is like you’re constantly on vacation,” Lee Ann says.

anta Barbara County, California is known its idyllic climate, calm beaches, gorgeous mountains and luxurious lifestyle. One of the best equestrian areas in the country for polo and the distinguished rider, the area draws luxury buyers from around the world. “We are definitely seeing an upsurge this spring in the super high-end buyer coming in. Our market is starting to see activity which pretty much mirrors what is happening in Beverly Hills,” says Suzanne Perkins of Sotheby’s International Realty. “If you have any inclination to get into the marketplace, this is the time to do it. We will soon start to see things move up. For those people sitting on the sidelines, waiting, they need to know that the waiting period is about up.”

MARKET INSIGHT
ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA ATTRACTIVE SOUTHERN COASTAL CALIFORNIA LIFESTYLE By Eric Snider RE/MAX Select One agent Shannon Ferguson, whose primary market is the coastal areas of Orange County, California, couldn’t put it any more plainly: “There has never been a better time to buy in this market — Incredible home values and if you finance you’ll probably never see interest rates like this again.” Then she backs up her words with a vivid example. Her portfolio includes a breathtaking home overlooking Newport Bay. Four years ago, she listed it briefly at $12 million and saw considerable activity. This time around, the seller put it on the market for $9.5 million. Current price: $7,650,000. And that includes furniture and artwork. The Tuscan-style “ultimate entertainer’s home” on Balboa Island in Newport Beach is situated on an oversized corner lot, has a deepwater dock that can accommodate two boats, has three bedroom suites and a four-car garage. “To me, the most exciting aspect of the home is its 2,200-square-foot rooftop deck, which has a kitchen and bar,” Shannon says. “You get a 360-degree view. There’s an elevator that goes to all three levels, right up to the rooftop.” The home sits amid one of the most desirable addresses in the world. Orange County boomed in the 1950s as it became a
Shannon Ferguson REMAX Select One 24855 Crown Royale Laguna Niguel, CA 92677
desirable bedroom community of Los Angeles. Over the years, Shannon says, the coastal areas have increasingly become havens for second homes. “You work really hard in L.A. County and come down here for the weekend,” she says, adding, “but a lot of people do live here full-time as well.” Shannon cites coastal Orange County’s temperate climate, its bountiful shopping, phenomenal array of restaurants and all manner of water sports — not to mention abundant golf and tennis — as particularly attractive lifestyle elements. And she’s bullish about the long-term investment prospects of owning waterfront property in Orange County. “Once the market stabilizes, there’s only so much waterfront property,” she says. “They aren’t making it anymore.”

PALOS VERDES, CALIFORNIA THE GRAND ESTATE By Cathleen McCann Known as the best kept secret, Palos Verdes, California has earned that reputation because of its private and serene setting. Located just twenty-four miles south of Los Angeles, Palos Verdes can seem like it is worlds away – something its affluent residents prize. ”It feels like you are on your own private island,” says Linda D’Ambrosi, luxury home consultant for the luxury homes division of Keller-Williams in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. The Estates at Trump National, a luxury ocean side community is located on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Comprised of seventy-five
estate lots, each has breathtaking views of the top-rated Trump National Golf course, the Pacific Ocean, and Catalina Island. Here you will find Casa del Mar, a $10-million Tuscan-inspired estate. Built in 2006 and never before offered for sale, Casa del Mar was the first home at The Estates at Trump National to be completed. It is the first time the home will be seen by the public. “The estate’s setting of winding roads above the ocean and its European architecture make you feel as if you are on the Amalfi coast,” D’Ambrosi says. The richly appointed home has an abundance of luxurious finishes such as rich marbles, fine woods, and inlaid tile floors. An impressive list of amenities includes a private screening room, a gourmet kitchen, and a sophisticated library finished with dark woods throughout. Each bedroom in the home is a generously-proportioned master suite. “Over $1million of custom-made furnishings and priceless artwork are also being sold with the home,” says D’Ambrosi.

EVERGREEN, COLORADO EMBRACING THE GREAT OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE Many people dream of living in the mountains and embracing the great outdoor lifestyle, but find it tough to give up the comforts and sometimes necessary amenities of the city. Evergreen offers the perfect balance: We’re a mountain town, but we’re very close to key amenities. Many lifestyle driven people have chosen Evergreen because of its proximity to Denver. They enjoy all the big city has to offer – international museum exhibits, national sports competitions, world-class restaurants, and an international airport – but prefer to live in this tranquil mountain community. A 30-minute drive east will take you to downtown Denver, or an hour west will take you to worldclass ski areas such as Vail, Breckenridge and Winter Park to ski. In addition to its close proximity to different amenities, Evergreen itself offers something for everyone in its well-connected community. Miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails weave through our mountain community, and our roads offer some of the

best road cycling routes in the west. With two recreation centers and a gorgeous community lake house to host many community events, you will not feel the need to go too far away. Evergreen encompasses about 130 square miles of pine- and
aspen-laden hills. It sprawls from the flanks of 14,260-foot Mount Evans on the west, to the edge of the Front Range to the east. About 41,000 people call Evergreen home. Residents are artists, engineers, scientists, carpenters, retailers, homemakers and heads of corporations. In Evergreen, purchasing a quality home, supporting quality schools and paying taxes for quality government often costs less than in metropolitan areas on either coast. The climate is also notable with over 240 days of sunshine a year – Evergreen is not a typical mountain area. It is not uncommon to spend the morning skiing and the afternoon golfing or fly fishing.

FLORIDA — BONITA SPRINGS
A
By Nicole Lauber
ptly nicknamed “The Gateway to the Gulf” is Bonita Springs—a relaxed city on the southwest coast of Florida with multiple beaches, but most notably, Bonita Beach and Barefoot Beach. “Bonita Beach is located halfway between Naples and Fort Myers, and it’s a very relaxed part of Bonita Springs,” says Barry DeNicola, the broker/owner of Barry DeNicola Realty in Bonita Springs, Florida for thirteen years. “There are mostly single family homes here, so it’s not as developed as other beach towns, but homes are still being built. From 2003 to 2006, we sold 31single-family homes, and we did the same from 2007 to 2010. We have a consistent volume of growth here.” Further south is Barefoot Beach, which Barry says offers multiple options for anyone looking to live in the area. “There’s more of a selection and price range in Barefoot Beach. There are single-family homes, villas, condos and cottages, and they range anywhere from $500,000 to $10 million.” Though these two communities may offer different housing options, they both have beaches with turquoise waters and white sand, and a year-round subtropical climate. “Many people are attracted to the relaxed atmosphere, and we don’t have an extreme change of seasons either,” Barry says. “Boating and other water activities are also really popular in Bonita Springs because of the convenient location of the bay.”

Manasota Key Celebrate life’s simple pleasures. Welcome to Manasota Key.
The charm and warmth of Old Florida come to life on Manasota Key. Just south of Sarasota, off the coast of Englewood, this beguiling barrier island is in perfect harmony with its surroundings. No traffic lights, no high rises, no deed restrictions, just a two lane protected canopy road leading you to swaying palms, an endless white sand beach, and the warm, turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Century’s old Banyan trees alive with tropical birds, frolicking dolphin, loggerhead turtles, balmy sea breezes, the kiss of the sun, and the magic of the sunsets endow Manasota Key with a dramatic, sensual, and serene ambiance.

Palm Island
A World of Seclusion and Natural Delight Awaits You.
Just imagine: a deserted beach stretches for miles before you, wisps of grass tufted along the abandoned shore shimmer in the light breeze. There are no crowds, no strangers, no disturbances. Flocks of seabirds pepper the wet sand, protected sea turtles meander at will, the waves crash on the shore encrusted with shell remnants from the sea of a millennia ago. Time here slows to a rhythm all your own. Hailed as one of the only places in Florida that still offers the quiet, secluded escape that first attracted vacationers to the sun-drenched state, Palm Island (located just south of Sarasota in southwest Florida between Sarasota and Fort Meyers) is a jewel of Florida island life waiting to be your next best kept secret. The island is actually comprised of three interconnected islands—Don Pedro, Knight Island and Palm Island—stretching seven miles long and 700 yards wide max. Life here is peaceful and quiet. There are no towns or street lights. While vehicles are allowed, most people enjoy the ease and simplicity of getting around via golf cart. Islanders enjoy the fact that life here is like the way Florida used to be and they’re careful to preserve it. While residents enjoy a quiet lifestyle, there are amenities available at the island’s only commercial establishment—Palm Island Resort—which occupies the northern section of Palm Island. Here you and your guests can find succulent seafood dining fresh from the Gulf, full catering services, entertainment and guest boat docking. One of the only places in Florida that still offers the quiet, secluded escape that first attracted vacationers to the sun-drenched state, Palm Island is a jewel of Florida island life. Residents of Palm Island enjoy a rare privacy thanks to 300 feet of Intracoastal Waterway that effectively makes this a naturally gated community. On Palm Island you have the luxury of letting grandchildren roam around on golf carts, go fishing, and just enjoy being kids. Ferries provide vehicle transport, but the fee charged non-residents is a natural deterrent to curious sightseers. Private boats can only find dockage at residences or as registered guests at the resort. Fire and Rescue is located on the island as well. And just four minutes away, the mainland offers all the conveniences of an urban living. Owning property at Palm Island is coveted and property values continue to hold and climb. It’s a great time to buy! There are undeveloped lots available for building your ideal island retreat and established private residences also on the market. While many people see Palm Island as a great place to retire, there also families with children and couples who Tom Wagner, Realtor enjoy the tropical climate, gorgeous environment RE/MAX Alliance Group and the way the island fosters close-knit family life. 2000 Webber Street • Sarasota, FL 34239 This is the place to be to enjoy a carefree island Cell: (941) 685-5890 lifestyle while living harmoniously with the natural Office: (941) 954-5454 environment.

FLORIDA — NAPLES
W
By Nicole Lauber
hen the Tamiami Trail was constructed to connect Tampa and Miami, it was Barron G. Collier, a successful businessman from New York, who ordered the development. He believed people driving on the trail through Naples would see the city’s beauty and want to live there. To this day, his theory has proved true. “Over the past few years, we’ve seen a continually decreasing inventory, and prices are still attractive,” says Phil Wood, president and CEO of John R. Wood, Inc. REALTORS®, a real estate company that has been in business since 1958 and now staffs over 400 people. “What that means is that people are jumping on the chance to buy a home in Naples before the market goes back up.” Living in Naples is for those who enjoy the outdoors and a subtropical climate. “I’m a big golfer, and, because of the weather, I can play golf year-round,” Phil says. Winters in Naples attract many people to own vacation homes there, including notable people such as former Boston Celtics star Larry Bird and bestselling author Robin Cook. Because Naples is right near the Gulf of Mexico, Phil says residents enjoy boating, fishing and the beaches, as well as golf and tennis. Dining is very prominent and diverse in Naples, especially with multiple sidewalk cafes, bistros and gourmet restaurants. “Residents here enjoy outdoor activities because of the beautiful area and year-round weather,” Phil says.

It also delights with 56 meters (183 feet) of deep-water berthing frontage. “Allegra is Italian for ‘Cheerful.’ We chose the name because it will be a sheer joy to live in this house. It is a supremely comfortable home for everyday living as well as entertaining,” Panov says.
Allegra features a luxurious contemporary design, with towering glass walls, limestone flooring, lofty, expansive formal dining room, gourmet chef kitchen with Miele appliances, four bedroom suites, master bedroom with stunning marble ensuite, fine Italian furnishing from Milan, automated home communication system and a floorplan perfect for entertaining or relaxing in privacy.

Discover Fishers Island
Old World Charm that still exists his seven mile-long island, approximately eleven miles from the North Fork of Long Island’s tip, offers newcomers the quiet and safe atmosphere that more than four generations of Fishers Island families have always experienced. Just a 45 minute ferry from New London, Connecticut, an Amtrak Railroad station, Fishers Island is actually part of the town of Southold in Suffolk County, New York. It is also accessible by air; Elizabeth Air Field on Fishers Island accommodates small airplanes. There are no traffic lights on this laid-back island that has little commercial activity. It’s a small-town atmosphere with a village green, post office, a doctor’s office, a “sea stretcher”or water ambulance that runs islanders in need from F.I. to a nearby Connecticut hospital, three gift stores, three churches, a liquor store, two art galleries, volunteer fire department, three police constables, library with computer services and interesting talks by local authors, summer movie theatre, a pre-K to 12 school, two gas stations, a grocery store, a deli, a beauty parlor, baseball diamond, an ice cream shoppe, a new Community Center with exercise equipment, public tennis and basketball courts, bowling alley, classes, and a pizza parlor. The local Ferguson Museum displays the history of Fishers Island, dating back to the Pequot Indians and Adrian Block who discovered “Visher’s Island” in 1614. There is one bar/restaurant and the American Legion which are popular in the summer when the 2,000 or more summer residents are cheek by jowl with the
T
240+ year-round residents. Summer residents hail from cities throughout the country as well as London, Rome, Tokyo, etc. A boater’s paradise, this island has a Coast Guard Station at the ferry landing and a great yacht club. Many islanders enjoy fishing for striped bass and blue fish in the surrounding Block Island, Fishers Island and Long Island Sounds. Exquisite views of Connecticut, nearby Rhode Island, and Long Island dominate from the private and public beaches throughout the island. Landlubbers like the two clubs that have tennis courts and golf courses, one designed by Seth Raynor, both courses have water views from every hole. The island boasts a new bicycle path that runs through the private eastern half of the island. It is a four mile long-path for bicycling, walking, and running. At least eight walking trails through the more than 330 acres represent 1/10 of the island dedicated to Fishers Island Conservancy, protected land that preserves the natural beauty of the island, home to many Osprey, and a well-developed oyster farm. More and more summer residents are spending the fall at Fishers Island when the ocean stays warm and the temperatures are warmer than the mainland. Many houses are heated, so summer residents are joining the ranks of the winter residents and spending Thanksgiving and Christmas on “Fishers.” With telecommuting possible on this special island, the “off season” can be the “in season.” — Wesley Davidson, Summer resident since 1955

VIRGINIA — VIRGINIA BEACH
L
By Cathleen McCann
ocated on Cape Henry at the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia Beach is the largest city in the state of Virginia. Its relaxed lifestyle and prime mid-Atlantic location have helped make Virginia Beach one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. Blessed with thirty miles of shoreline and seventy miles of scenic waterways, Virginia Beach is a wonderful place to live and to purchase a waterfront property. “Any city can have beautifully constructed homes, but not many have as many beautiful lots on which the homes are situated,” says Jeanne West, associate broker with RE/MAX Alliance in Virginia Beach, Virginia. West, a lifelong Virginia Beach resident, has been selling real estate here for over thirty years, specializing in waterfront properties. A treasure trove of outdoor recreational activities suited to anyone’s lifestyle offer residents a high quality of life. An extensive system of hiking/biking trails, camping facilities, golf courses, and beaches provide ample opportunities for active pursuits. Virginia Beach’s many thousands of acres of wildlife preserves and parks include First Landing State Park. Its location on the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway make water sports like boating and fresh and saltwater fishing popular. Upscale urban amenities and premier dining and entertainment venues are plentiful. The three-mile long Virginia Beach Boardwalk is one of the area’s notable attractions and center of activity.
