Georgia’s Other Peaches

By Cathleen McCann The American West captured the imaginations of pioneers, who pushed westward of the Mississippi River, in hopes of finding a piece of land that they could call home. People are still moving westward today, but they are doing it to find both the scenic natural beauty that the West is known for and the style, sophistication, and amenities of today’s modern life.

By Elyse Umaluf-Garneau Those with only a passing knowledge of Georgia probably are most familiar with Atlanta and Savannah. But by limiting a home search to those well-known spots, prospective buyers could miss out on some unique venues around the state. After all, some of Georgia’s less-known areas, including Peachtree City and St. Simons Island, provide some remarkable residential options.

A BUYERS GALLERY of FINE HOMES®

ON THE COVER

Craftsmen who worked at Disneyland and in Hollywood helped create this modern-day castle in Salt Lake City, Utah. If you’ve ever fantasized about living in a castle, Le Chateau Marseilles offers Old World ambience adapted for 21st-century lifestyles.

By Elizabeth McCann The finest materials, custom details, and state-of-the-art technology were priorities during the gated property’s two-year construction. Set on one of the highest lots in exclusive Olympus Cove, the gated 10,944-square-foot residence is designed for maximum viewing potential. Most of the rooms, for example, command vistas of the valley, the city, and Mount Olympus.

“It’s a gutsy expression of creative genius to build a home where the creative process is not interrupted by or shackled by concerns of cost,” says Realtor Tim Hutton, the listing agent with

Signature Group Real Estate in Salt Lake City. “You just keep moving and let the art emerge.” European castles and Disneyland served as inspiration for the property, completed in 2006. Its architecture stands proud on its nearly one-acre site, showcasing steep-pitched gables, sloped roofs, and turrets. Stone cladding wraps the first floor, making it appear as if the home was built out of the mountain centuries ago.

Inside is no less a fairy tale with made-to-look-old entertaining areas. For instance, the indoor pool feels like an ancient grotto

A BUYERS GALLERY of FINE HOMES®

ON THE COVER with waterfalls that pour down from cave-like walls and a faux tree trunk rising from the pool floor. Then there’s the “dungeon” wine cellar with a tasting area.

The interior is decked out with lavish finishes, including aged copper, travertine tile, a hand-blown glass chandelier, and granite countertops. Trompe l’oeil painting, cathedral doors, open beam ceilings, and five huge stone fireplaces add to the centuries’-old ambience, while a great room with a gourmet kitchen, a movie theater, a sports bar, and a social hall with a karaoke booth offer luxury appeal for today.

And with all its drool-worthy entertaining rooms, the home has plenty of privacy for family and guests, with five bedrooms and eight baths. The master suite even has a hidden

door leading to a private room in one of the turrets. Rooms that face the backyard overlook an enormous man-made waterfall, one of the largest residential water features in Utah, according to Hutton, who specializes in luxury homes. What’s more, an elevator, home-automation technology, and two twocar garages will make life even easier for its future residents.

Another perk is its proximity to Utah’s world-class ski resorts.

Ten ski resorts are a short drive away, and the estate is also close to downtown Salt Lake City’s restaurants, performing arts, and boutiques.

Originally listed for $8.2 million, Le Chateau Marseilles is being offered at $5,999,000. “Today is the best buyer’s market ever experienced in Utah,” says Hutton. I

ADVERTISING ASSOCIATES Larissa Balko Randall Metting Alex Beattie Linda Pignataro Jeff CampBell Veronica T. Powers Martin Jennings

Dear Reader, Spring is in the air. We welcome you to sit back and enjoy the hundreds of spectacular luxury homes the duPont REGISTRY™ has found for buyers of luxury properties.

From the $14.5-million world-class oceanfront estate (page 34) in America’s ‘banana belt,’ Gold Beach, Oregon to Le Chateau Marseilles, Salt Lake City’s finest offering, referred to as a residence designed for maximum viewingl of the valley, the city, and Mount Olympus.

Across the great divide, we take you back east to the great state of Georgia, where we share several other hidden gems. St. Simons Island and Peachtree City, to name a few, where the grass is ‘literally’ greener. These resort destinations are luxurious havens for the golf enthusiast or resort traveler where solitude, privacy, and luxurious amenities abound.

The market is vastly different from that of three to four years ago, largely because the ‘market share’ has changed. The properties and agents featured in this issue do not reflect the ‘bad news’ of the real estate business. The agents featured in this issue and issues to come represent and understand a fundamental real estate and investment concept, that is: market share.

Thank you for selecting the duPont REGISTRY™ to find your second, third, or maybe even fourth luxury place to call home.

THE AMERICAN WEST

Westward Ho!

By Cathleen McCann

T

The American West captured the imaginations of pioneers who pushed westward of the Mississippi River in hopes of finding a piece of land that they could call home. People are still moving westward today, but they are doing it to find both the scenic natural beauty that the West is known for and the style, sophistication, and amenities of today’s modern life.

THE DESERT OASIS The glittering glamour of Las Vegas put it on the map, but its residents know it is a very different place. “The Las Vegas lifestyle is whatever you want it to be,” says Debbie Drummond, broker salesperson with RE/MAX Associates in Las Vegas. “You can paint your own canvas here.”

Located a few hours from the Southern California coast, Las Vegas’ warm climate, perfect for outdoor activities, and its wealth of sophisticated shopping, dining, and entertainment venues on the world-renowned Strip are a few of the reasons that make this a popular place to live. And if that weren’t enough, incredible deals make it especially attractive for buyers looking to purchase either their primary residence or a vacation home getaway.

As an expert in Las Vegas’ highend real estate market,

THE AMERICAN WEST

A BUYERS GALLERY of FINE HOMES®

THE AMERICAN WEST Drummond feels that luxury high-rises currently offer fabulous opportunities for buyers. “High-rise condos are being sold for less than the cost to replace the property,” she notes. Once this current inventory is absorbed, “It is likely to be years before lenders will make financing available again for new construction on major properties,” Drummond says.

Turnberry Place, the “grande dame” of Las Vegas’ luxury highrises, has amenities that rival any luxury hotel. Its centerpiece is the exclusive Stirling Club, for which residents receive automatic membership. Current pricing ranges from $446,000 for a one-bedroom condo to $16 million for an 8,000-square-foot penthouse.

Panorama Towers, the hip, new high-rise, has floor-to-ceiling windows perfect for taking in the spectacular views of the Strip and Red Rock Mountains. Prices range from the $200,000s for a one-bedroom condo to $4.9 million for a 4,820-square-foot penthouse.

THE PRISTINE PARADISE If you are looking to escape big city life, consider getting lost in Gold Beach, Oregon. It’s a quaint seaside town, located on Highway 101 just 37 miles north of California—touted as southern Oregon’s Wild Rivers Coast. “People find us and fall in love with us,” says Karl Nettgen, Principal Broker with Century 21 Agate Realty. “Gold Beach is a hidden gem.”

Gold Beach’s setting is idyllic, surrounded by mountains, rivers, beaches, and ocean. It’s a Pacific Northwest pristine paradise and an outdoor enthusiast’s delight, neighbor to several protected areas such as Siskiyou National Forest and the Kalmiopsis Wilderness. This combination creates a diverse ecosystem where an abundance of wildlife and a diverse temperate rain forest thrive.

season of 300 days.

“You can find any type of property that you want–from oceanfront condos at $225,000 up to thirty-five acre oceanfront estates which list for $14.5 million,” Nettgen says.

Property sizes range from one-half-acre lots to several thousand-acre lots, making Gold Beach not only a desirable place to live, but also a great place to build your vacation home.

The region boasts some of the best salmon and steelhead fishing in North America, especially on the Rogue River.

Kayaking, windsurfing, and hiking are other fun ways to soak up Gold Beach’s natural environment. Several golf courses are nearby including the world-renowned Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.

“People are drawn to the area for its privacy, seclusion, and protected environment,” he says. Strict land use laws and no sales tax in Oregon as well as Curry County’s low property taxes add to the appeal. “Gold Beach is off the beaten path.

It’s not for everyone, but that is the beauty of it.”

Gold Beach has an attractive, moderate climate. It’s part of the “Banana Belt” claiming the most “total sun hours” on the Oregon and Washington coasts with an extended growing

THE AMERICAN WEST on the Aransas Bay in the Gulf of Mexico, Royal Oaks is located in Rockport/Fulton, thirty miles north of Corpus Christi.

“The Rockport/Fulton area is a hidden treasure on the Texas coast,” says Darrell Kubenka, sales manager of Royal Oaks.

The area is known for its world-class fishing and a prime spot for bird watching due to its close proximity to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. Shopping, dining, and museums offer entertainment and culture.

With all of that and more, Royal Oaks seems the perfect spot to build your dream home. Comprised of nineteen approximately half-acre lots ready to be built and priced starting in the mid-$200,000 range, Royal Oaks charms from the moment you enter the cobblestone drive and set eyes upon its beautiful natural setting of live oaks and bayfront views.

Preserving the integrity of this spectacular piece of the Texas coast is a priority and design guidelines ensure that the first-class residential experience of this exclusive community is maintained. Adding to the ambience is an impressive list of services and amenities designed to take care of your every need.

The Aransas Bay takes center stage at Royal Oaks and there is no better place for residents to enjoy it than on the 450foot pier. The pier, which is gated and night lit, provides the perfect place to fish or day dock your boat. A sizable common area overlooks the bay and includes a gazebo, putting green, and outdoor fireplace as some of its features. Adding to the outdoor enjoyment is a one-quarter mile walking trail which ambles gracefully through the property. I

Georgia’s Other Peaches

MARKETPLACE

By Elyse Umlauf-Garneau

T

Those with only a passing knowledge of Georgia probably are most familiar with Atlanta and Savannah. But by limiting a home search to those well-known spots, prospective buyers could miss out on some unique venues around the state.

After all, some of Georgia’s less-known areas, including Peachtree City and St. Simons Island, provide some remarkable residential options.

YEAR-ROUND RESORT LIVING Peachtree City, for instance, delivers access to the jobs and cultural life of Atlanta. It’s situated less than one hour south of downtown. But, as Mike Robinson of RE/MAX Around Atlanta Results says, “Everyday, it feels like you’re coming home to a resort after work.” Robinson still sees properties selling and financing being offered, though he also acknowledges a softening and a slowing in the market. That means there are some attractive deals for buyers. “We didn’t enjoy those huge leaps in Peachtree City, so we also don’t get the huge hits when the market turns,” he observes. He’s been relying heavily on his appraisal knowledge and twentyplus years in the real estate industry to help clients make wise, informed decisions.

For buyers, one such decision could entail purchasing a 5,400-square-foot house in North Cove, an upscale enclave within Peachtree City whose neighborhood design emulates some of the elements and ambiance of historic

www.duPontREGISTRY.com

Charleston, South Carolina. The property is being offered as a turnkey, meaning that the furnishings are included in the $3.95-million asking price. “The linens are on the beds, so someone really only needs to bring clothes and a toothbrush,” says Robinson.

The property was custom-designed from top to bottom. The four-bedroom house includes an array of unusual touches, such as custom chandeliers in the front and back foyers, gold

MARKETPLACE leaf highlights on the ceiling, Alder wood interior doors, and a hand-painted domed ceiling. Outside sits a full outdoor kitchen overlooking the pool and spa, and a separate twostory house can serve as a guest cottage or housing for a nanny or caretaker. A sunroom features views of Lake Kedron.

Among the additional highlights of the home are an elevator, a custom closet with a built-in safe, and a posh master bathroom with limestone floors and stone sinks. “Everything in this house was designed and done to perfection,” observes Robinson.

Beyond the confines of the house sits a larger community and its array of amenities. Peachtree City, itself, is actually a master-planned city spread across 15,000 acres. It’s known for its network of golf paths—more than ninety miles of them—that wind around the community through wooded areas, lakes, and green space.

The series of paths means that residents can abandon their cars and get to school, work, and shopping via golf cart. The paths also serve the needs of bikers, runners, and in-line skaters. In addition, a membership to one of Peachtree City’s golf courses gives golfers access to a total of twenty-three courses. Additional recreational options include tennis, swimming, and boating. Such amenities are likely the reasons residents have the sense that they’re living in a year-round resort.

THREE TIMES, A CHARM Susan Hardwick has gotten used to people’s disbelief when they discover there are coastal areas of Georgia set on the Atlantic Ocean. It’s just the first of many happy surprises for those who visit St. Simons Island for the first time.

Hardwick is a broker with Sea Palms Realty Company, St. Simons Island.

St. Simons Island is situated halfway between Savannah and Jacksonville, and both cities are within about sixty miles. St. Simons is one of a trio of picturesque islands that includes Sea Island and Jekyll Island. “Our own airport and the proximity to Jacksonville make the island easily accessible for those who want to discover someplace different,” she says.

And different the environment is. “We have live oaks, no billboards and it’s green year-round,” comments Hardwick.

“Moreover, it’s quaint and steeped in the deepest of history.”

Among its historic sites are the St. Simons Lighthouse and Fort Frederica, established in 1736.

Hardwick observes that it usually requires a mere three visits to St. Simons before people take the leap to buy. That’s fine by her. The first two visits involve getting to know the place and becoming enamored. On the third visit, they stop by her real estate office.

Typically people fall in love with the pristine nature, an ambiance of southern charm, and a vast array of recreation, including fishing, golfing, kayaking, and hiking. The island also delivers on the cultural front with artists, galleries, and theater space. Relative affordability is a further draw, and home prices in the luxury tier range from approximately $800,000 to over $2 million.

“Changes colors with the season.” The $899,000 house, built in 2001, consists of two stories. One, a 2,200-square-foot main house, is perched high on the lot, and below is a fivecar garage and two extremely large storage areas that make up approximately the same size as the main living area.

According to Hardwick, such a vast amount of storage space is highly desirable.

The focal point of the five-bedroom property is its forty-onefoot-long porch that offers sweeping views to Sea Island on one side and to sandy dunes and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. Of equal beauty is a great room that connects to the grand porch, notes Hardwick.

Another appealing aspect of the island is that the population includes a dynamic mix of residents, sixty percent of whom are full-timers. “We get a nice cross section of people from various professions, and it’s a nice melting pot.” Moreover, the island is quite welcoming to new people. For instance, there are several active newcomers’ clubs and many residents have made lifelong friendships that stem from participation in such groups.

St. Simons really provides an ideal escape from the chaos of conventional life. “If you like the big city but want a getaway, this island provides for that,” Hardwick comments. “You can enjoy the city and then find quiet on your island.” I
