CASA PIENA Poway in San Diego County, California


A BUYERS GALLERY of FINE HOMES®

PUBLISHER’S SHOWCASE

Deemed a “Sanctuary for the Soul”—the Casa Piena estate is an unexpected jewel of luxury set amidst a private, gated community just 30 minutes from downtown San Diego, California. Exquisite details that recreate the ambiance of a northern Italian villa, masterful artwork and craftsmanship that draw on the finest materials from around the world. Graced with 43 rooms, the estate consists of 26,862 square feet of living space, including 11 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms. Four separate buildings comprise the property: the main house, guest house, pool cabana, and detached garage. Classic interior details include carved wood moldings, solid walnut doors, elaborate beamed and hand-painted ceilings, custom murals, stone floors, exotic wood paneled walls, authentic Italian lighting and seven imported hand-carved stone fireplaces. The main house’s casino, theater, wine room, elevator, two offices, gourmet kitchen, master suite and guest rooms are highlighted by spaciousness, authentic Italian details and more than 100 windows. The guest house features two bedrooms, a living room and full bath while the cabana offers a large patio, bar and full bath. A three-bay detached garage and three-bay attached garage provide ample room. Set amidst four-and-one-half acres with scenic valley and hill vistas the estate also overlooks the Maderas Golf Club—rated the best golf course in San Diego County. The estate also features mature landscaping, a sunken tennis court, a 3,000+ square foot swimming pool with two waterfalls, a Jacuzzi with a swimming river, a rock slide and a grotto. Ornate iron work complement the grounds and include a gazebo and arbors, a large backyard with two barbeque areas, a sunken garden, two large stone terraced areas, an olive orchard and a private jogging trail around the property. The estate is fully automated as a “smart house” with one-button controls for everything from lighting, sound, window/door locks, window coverings tied to an astronomical clock, security, air quality controls, and more. No detail was spared and authentic materials and expert craftsmanship from 20 countries was utilized. Just one example is the wine room floor-crafted from stones that paved the streets in Jerusalem more than 2,000 years ago. Mosaic walls in the adjacent wine room bathroom were crafted by nuns in a monastery in Tunisia. Casa Piena is located in Heritage Estates in Poway in San Diego County, California. This property offers terrific privacy, ample land and easy access to freeways. It’s a wonderful place to enjoy life.

KIAWAH ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA

KIAWAH ISLAND MEANS A LUXURY CASUAL LIFESTYLE By Nicole Lauber With seven unique golf courses, mild weather, and all the amenities of leading a luxurious life, Kiawah Island is an ideal place for any golfer to live, work and play. “The range of amenities on Kiawah offers a lot of variety for anyone interested in golf,” says Holly Morrison of Kiawah Island Real Estate. “The island is home to seven golf courses, five of which are operated by The Sanctuary Hotel, the island’s 5-star resort, and two which are operated by our private club.” Notable course designers on the island are Gary Player, Pete Dye, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Tom Watson and Clyde Johnson. The housing market in Kiawah Island is improving too, making it a great time to buy property on Kiawah. “We feel that our local market has stabilized, and with the 2012 PGA Championship coming up, it will continue to gain momentum,” Holly says. “Inventory in our single-family home category has decreased by 24% when compared to its peak in 2009.” In addition to being a luxurious golf community, Kiawah Island offers 10 miles of oceanfront, and many outdoor activities, like kayaking, 30 miles of groomed trails, fishing, sailing and tennis. With proximity to Charleston, South Carolina you’re close to one of the country’s most desirable cities with huge arts and cultural influences, a mix of restaurants and entertainment. The Freshfields Village on Kiawah Island, a local shopping center, has over 61 unique boutique stores ranging from clothing and accessories, home décor and interior design, sportswear and gear, groceries and medical. “Living on Kiawah Island allows residents to enjoy a casual, relaxed atmosphere, an active social calendar and a serene, natural environment,” Holly says.

My PUBLISHER’S SHOWCASE this month is Casa Piena in Poway, San Diego County, California. This estate is just 30 minutes from downtown San Diego, and is on four-and-one-half acres with scenic valley and hill vistas, overlooking Maderas Golf Club.

MARKET INSIGHT

SANIBEL—CAPTIVA ISLAND, FLORIDA

THE SEASHELL CAPITAL OF FLORIDA By Nicole Lauber and Gabrielle Peyinghaus “It’s a great time to buy in Sanibel —Captiva Island,” says Mike McMurray of VIP Realty in Sanibel. “The prices for the quality of product have never been better—we haven’t seen prices like this in years. Because of that, the demand for homes on Sanibel-Captiva is up. Our market has never really been about discounted prices, but if people want it, they buy it. And when they buy it, they’re buying more than just a house— they’re buying a lifestyle.” That lifestyle, the island lifestyle, is one of the draws for people looking to move into the area. Known as “The Seashell Capital of Florida” and for the J.N. Darling National Wildlife Refuge, the pace is slower and more relaxed on these historic islands. Warm temperatures year round and refreshing ocean breezes make bathing suits and flip-flops the official attire of Sanibel and Captiva. McMurray notes that despite decreased inventory of homes in the stable market on the islands due to high sales, many unique homes are still available in the area. Residents of Sanibel-Captiva enjoy the escape from city lights and high-rise condos, preferring to ride their bicycles back in time to the simpler beauty Florida has to offer.

“The estate has so much to offer!” says Lee Ann Canaday of the Canaday Group and broker/owner of RE/MAX Fine Homes with offices in Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. “Huge square footage—approximately 11,000 square feet, a large guest home, tennis court, ocean view, indoor pool and spa, outdoor spa and three outdoor fireplaces, along with several indoors…these are just a few things this property has to offer!” Located in the beautiful ocean side city of San Juan Capistrano in Orange County, California, there is never a shortage of activites to stay busy and moving. The city boasts over 39 miles of horse trails and is three-and-ahalf miles from Dana Point Harbor where boats depart daily for trips to Catalina Island. There is also a nearby train station for quick rides to nearby San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara or even an Angels baseball game. “But the estate is so large, one can just lose themselves in the private retreat,” says Lee Ann. The gated French Country estate of Chateau Rêveur sits on well over one and a half beautifully landscaped acres. The home was recently remodeled and features new hardwood floors throughout the first level. Highlighting the gorwww.duPontREGISTRY.com

A separate two-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house ensures a private area for guests to relax after playing tennis or swimming in the beautiful, rare indoor pool and spa. “It’s amazing to find an ocean view estate coupled with large square footage and a large lot size plus a tennis court,” explains Lee Ann. “It also has a great appeal to someone who loves the authentic French style of the home. It’s truly an amazing setting!”

FLORIDA MARKETPLACE

By Gabby Peyinghaus, Jaime Hyneman, Nicole Lauber Whether enjoying the sandy beaches, the bustle of metropolitan Miami or floating in the cool natural springs, Florida living is some of the most unique in all of America. Residents and tourists alike have flocked to this domestic paradise since the late 1800’s to experience a taste of the Florida lifestyle. The peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides, offers an abundance of living and activity options- all within a few hours. The subtropical climate offers year-round sunshine and pleasant evenings perfect for enjoying the sunset over ocean waves.

Historically, Florida has been the sight of many explorers’ adventures- Juan Ponce De Leon found the Fountain of Youth in Florida while Hernando DeSoto battled Indians in the cypress forests. While most of Florida has been tamed, there is still much to discover, so take a moment and have your own adventure exploring the many properties Florida has to offer.

Ponte Vedra Beach

Offered by Berry & Co. Real Estate

“A hidden gem east of Jacksonville, our northeast Florida island village is known for its beautiful white, wide beaches, A-rated schools, Mayo Clinic and championship golf. It attracts people looking for relaxed lifestyles in a small town, with the big city amenities close by,” says Clare Berry, Broker of Berry & Co. Real Estate, of living in Ponte Vedra Beach. Perhaps best known for being home of the PGA Tour and host to THE PLAYERS tournament, this area also boasts other sports, music and cultural events throughout the year, including the Kingfish Tournament, Jacksonville Jaguars football and the Jacksonville Jazz Festival. “Residents take advantage of the tranquility of island living, since we are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, the St. Johns River and many tributaries,” explains Clare. One property that specifically caters to water lovers is Villa Buco Nero, a magnificent 6,600-square-foot home in the seclusion of a gated country club community, with the convenience of a private marina. “With the breathtaking water views from the decks and terraces and gorgeous stone and stylistic elements brought in from Europe, combined with today’s modern amenities, this property defines timeless beauty,” says Clare. "It's a perfect place for Fort Lauderdale Boat Show patrons to consider for their purchases!"

Barefoot Beach and Bonita Beach

Doug Grant of The Grant Group at Coldwell Banker Previews International, says, “The market in Barefoot Beach has strengthened, 13 homes listed for $1 million (or more) sold in the first eight months of 2011, compared to only 5 homes sold in all of 2010. Despite the strong sales, there are still outstanding opportunities for the savvy buyer in this unique area.” On Bonita Beach, Doug represents a new construction beachfront home across from a protected nature preserve. This home includes 4 bedrooms, a 4-car garage, all concrete construction, impact resistant windows and doors and an elevated infinity pool along with multiple sun decks overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.

Listed with Coldwell Banker Previews International

The Gulf Coast offers two of the finest communities in Southwest Florida: Barefoot Beach and Bonita Beach, both offer a variety of living options for the affluent homebuyer. From high-rise condos to stunning beach and waterfront homes; the old Florida ambiance and warm tropical climate draw a variety of visitors to the area. Its proximity to Naples and Fort Myers offers some of the best shopping and fine dining within 15 minutes of both Barefoot and Bonita Beaches.

FLORIDA MARKETPLACE “Palm Beach is one of the most incredible places to live on the planet,” says Wally Turner, broker with Sotheby’s International Realty in Palm Beach. “I travel worldwide, and almost no other town has what Palm Beach has to offer.” Perhaps one of the best things about Palm Beach is the exclusivity of the island. “You see, Palm Beach is a small, exclusive island. It’s not like they’re making any more of it,” Wally says. “The city is a resort for executives, entrepreneurs and numerous Forbes listers, and we’ve always attracted people from around the world. We even have a couple of celebrities on the island.” Though Palm Beach may seem like it’s only for the rich and famous, there are many local private schools and cultural activities in Palm Beach, making it an ideal place to raise a family.

Miami Beach Listed by Sotheby’s International Realty

Palm Beach Though many cities in the world may offer incredible beaches, world-class shopping, fine dining and an excellent quality of life, no city quite compares to Palm Beach, Florida.

Miami Beach, just a few short minutes from metropolitan Miami, has been a popular resort destination for decades. Both International and domestic buyers flock to this South Florida gem to enjoy the sunshine, pleasant weather and beautiful ocean. The diverse culture and exploding arts scene have secured the Miami area as a stable market among buyers looking for homes or investment properties. “Miami Beach didn’t see such a dramatic ‘crash’ as some of the other areas did, it has been and always will be a playground for the international jetsetter. Our buyers are not only looking for second and third homes, but also for lucrative investment properties,” explains Diane Lieberman, Broker/Owner of South Beach Investment Realty, “The influx of Miami buyers are International, they are coming because of the opportunities available in the market. And above everything else, they come for the beautiful weather, the beaches and the ocean…” The Miami area’s international draw has made it the ideal home for five-star restaurants, The New World Symphony, The Miami City Ballet, the Opera, The MOCA and the MAM as well as countless nightly cultural activities. Residents looking to relax and take in the year-round sunshine and agreeable climate can relax on Miami Beach’s miles of pristine coastline or participate in unlimited water sports on Biscayne Bay or the glistening Atlantic Ocean.

Orlando Living in Orlando means being close to multiple amenities, attractions and activities—in this case, location really is everything. “When you live in Orlando, you are right in the center of the state, so you are close to everything,” says Chris Christensen, Broker/Owner of Regal Real Estate Professionals in Orlando, Florida. “You’re only an hour away from the coasts of Florida, two hours away from the nation’s oldest city, St. Augustine, and only four hours away from a weekend getaway in Miami Beach.” Another perk of Orlando is how hot the housing market is right now. “Our inventory has been substantially reduced,” Chris says. “We

went from having almost 18,000 homes on the market in January to approximately 9,500 homes available in September. Our market was hit extremely hard, with prices in many cases dropping as much as 50 percent. Because of that, inventories are dropping fast, so interested buyers need to move quickly.” One property that Chris currently represents is a 10,000-squarefoot estate located in Lake Butler Sound, one of Central Florida’s premier luxury home communities. The property features six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a detached guesthouse, resort-style pool, home theater and game room. In addition to that, the estate’s finishes are what make it so unique. “From the grand winding staircase to the 24-carat gold ceiling details, the finishes in this home are stunning,” Chris says.

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.

Naples It’s not often you find a city with seemingly everything—a gorgeous subtropical climate, successful neighbors, multiple outdoor activities, and an all-around excellent quality of life. In Naples, all of this—and more—is available. “You can go anywhere in Naples and find beauty,” says Bill Earls, Realtor with John R. Woods, Inc. in Naples. “We have some of the most beautiful beaches in the United States. Everywhere in the city is very clean and safe, and all of our real estate is just stunning.” One thing that makes Naples unique is the residents. “We don’t have the celebrities and famous athletes like other high-end cities,” Bill says. “But we do have the CEOs and CFOs of corporations, successful businesspeople, and those who just enjoy the fruits of success. Everyone is likeminded in that sense, but also because they want a fabulous climate in an upscale, homogenous city.” Although Naples is known for luxury, this doesn’t mean all properties are upward of $5 million. “It is a higher end market, but we have properties that are all across the board as far as price range, architectural style and neighborhood location go,” Bill says. “People are making life decisions to take advantage of the buyers’ market in Naples, and they do it because of everything Naples has to offer.”

For the highest end properties currently valued at over $ 2 million USD, the annual increase in value is even higher,” explains Malin.

Perhaps the most defining feature is the private dock access directly on the property,” says Charles Baarcke, broker in charge at McAlister Preferred Properties. “With the current configuration of the downtown Charleston shoreline, it would be virtually impossible to replicate such an amenity at another property.” Not only is the private dock the only one of its kind at a single family residence in Charleston, but it measures 100 feet in length—making it capable of accommodating a yacht, sail boat, or other vessel that is 130–140 feet in length. Originally used by the US Navy, this magnificent property underwent a monumental conversion from an industrial building to a luxury residence resulting in a stunning showcase. “The nearly 5,000136 SOUTH CAROLINA—FEATURED PROPERTY

square-foot main house is literally built over the water,” explains Charles. Perched atop concrete pilings directly above the Charleston Harbor, this orientation allows for expansive panoramic waterfront views that are second-to-none. This property is the only home in the city of Charleston to attain the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (or LEED) distinctions of Platinum (guest house) and Gold (main house) for its array of solar panels and geo-thermal wells on site. LEED is an internationally recognized certification system of green construction techniques that are verified by an independent third party. The home also features additional green elements such as reclaimed www.duPontREGISTRY.com


construction materials, structurally insulated wall panels, a rainwater collection basin and spray-foam insulation to name a few. “As a LEED recognized property in Charleston SC, the home blends cutting edge modern construction technology with the charm, grandeur, and grace of a historic southern coastal city,” says Charles. This extraordinary property represents an opportunity for an interested buyer to obtain a unique waterfront trophy estate that is located in the much acclaimed, historic and beloved Charleston, South Carolina.
