PUBLISHER’S LETTER

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Charles B. Simmons EDITOR Elizabeth McCann ASSISTANT TO EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Suzi Mirsky NATIONAL SALES MANAGER John D. Chapman III VICE PRESIDENT OF SALES Sheri Norris snorris@dupontregistry.com

Dear Reader, Water, water, water. There is a primordial connection between human beings and water.

Whether it is the crashing waves of the Pacific, the calm, rolling swells of the Gulf of Mexico, or the serenity found on one of the thousands of incredible, scenic lakes—we are drawn to the water’s edge. We find peace, excitement, and, perhaps most importantly, a break from our daily routines. Many of my best memories, and I’m sure yours too, involve being by the water’s edge.

This issue focuses on some of the most sought-after properties found along the banks of rivers, gulfs, lakes, and oceans. It is one of our favorite issues because, being based between the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay, many in our duPont REGISTRY™ family have, as we say, “sand in our shoes.” We love the water.

Our hope is that you will relax and flip through the pages, finding memories that inspire you and perhaps a waterfront dream home where you can create new memories for your children or your children’s children.

We have heard so much about the market and the downward spiral; however, I’m hearing some good news from people who should know. I, like quite a few of you, see this as a great buying opportunity. And staying with the theme—nothing is a better investment than waterfront property.

Last but not least we are excited to announce the new Editor-in-Chief of duPont REGISTRY A Buyers Gallery of Fine Homes®, Charles B. Simmons. Mr. Simmons has been a part of our business, in different capacities, for several years and is ready to carry on in our quest for excellence. He brings passion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to quality and customer service.

Enjoy!

THE SEASIDE CHARMS Carpinteria, California

A BUYERS GALLERY of FINE HOMES®

ON THE COVER

By Cathleen McCann Known for its ideal climate for growing flowers, Carpinteria is a quaint seaside town with beautiful beaches and breathtaking landscapes, with marshes, mountains, and coastline. This small town of roughly 15,000 people is also a destination of sorts, with some of the best surfing at Rincon Point, a charming downtown, and fabulous beach houses from which to enjoy it all.

“Carpinteria is known for its premier beachfront properties,” says Fred Bradley, of Sotheby’s International Realty in Montecito.

“There are more beachfront properties available here than in the neighboring beach enclaves of Santa Barbara County.”

The town itself is in a valley, just twelve miles south of Santa

www.duPontREGISTRY.com

Barbara, and is home to the Santa Barbara Polo Club. One of its big events is the Avocado Festival in October, which celebrates one of Carpinteria’s major crops.

One of Bradley’s listings epitomizes the allure of oceanfront living in Carpinteria. It’s a $32.5-million home, designed by notable Santa Barbara architect Andy Neumann, and is set on more than two acres on exclusive Sand Point Road.

The design is contemporary Cape Cod and the home incorporates naturally weathered cedar shingles and clean lines.

Situated on a narrow peninsula between the ocean and the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Preserve, the expansiveness of the 7,000-

ON THE COVER square-foot home sets it apart from others in the area.

“The architect took advantage of the comparatively extensive lot length and designed the home to stretch gracefully along the coastline, allowing for ocean views in most of the home’s rooms,” Bradley says.

What’s more, the property’s generous 190 feet of ocean frontage are twice as much as the surrounding homes, says Bradley. The back of the house looks out to the beach and the ocean, while the front of the house takes in views of the marsh and the Santa Ynez Mountains.

The architecture seamlessly merges the indoor and outdoor living areas by using expansive windows and French doors that open up interior spaces to the outdoors. An additional 3,000 square feet of hardwood decks are trellised, covered, or open and offer an outdoor space with a built-in barbecue and a fireplace.

The home’s interior echoes its Cape Cod design roots, yet possesses a contemporary elegance and ease. Gabled roofs with white tongueand-groove ceilings and exposed beams adorn each of the home’s three distinct wings, creating a light and airy feel. Dark stained mahogany floors provide a nice contrast.

A master suite, with spectacular ocean views, has its own private wing and includes a separate office and an exercise room. The main living spaces occupy the center wing and include a gourmet kitchen and a great room. The three bedrooms in the children’s wing have either an ocean view or a mountain and marsh view.

Other features of the home include a state-of-the-art media room and two interior fireplaces. A spacious one-bedroom guest apartment sits atop a detached one-car garage. An additional two-car garage is attached to the home. Offered at $32,500,000 I

Parula Village

BELIZEAN ECO-LUXURY LIGHTHOUSE REEF ATOLL, BELIZE

By Elyse Umlauf-Ganeau

L

uxury and eco-friendly are mutually exclusive terms, right?

Not if Christian Dietz and Janis Dietz DeMarco of Pure Hotels International in Palm Beach, Florida, have their way.

The two, along with investors Jeff Zimmerman and Richard Frey, are developing a condominium resort, Parula Village in Belize, that will deliver luxury amenities but in buildings that have minimal impact on the environment. For instance, only twenty percent of the six-acre site will be used for structures and the remainder will be populated with existing trees, flowers, and other vegetation.

An eco-luxury condo hotel, Parula Village will sit on the island of Long Caye, just forty-five miles off the coast of Belize and within the Lighthouse Reef Atoll. Parula Village is less than two hours by plane from Miami.

Parula Village’s villas, ranging from 440 square feet to 2,400 square feet, will feature Mediterranean stucco, copper roofs, and plantation shutters, and wall-to-wall sliding glass doors framed by

local Belizean mahogany. Other eco-friendly design features include the use of solar power and reverse-osmosis water systems.

In addition, the property’s interiors will complement its environment. Features will include tumbled travertine floors, stacked-rock walls, volume ceilings with bamboo and rattan accents, and openair showers in the baths. Lushly landscaped terraces will offer views to the Caribbean, and a wellness center, two restaurants, eighteen moorings, and a heliport are included in the plans. Parula Village was designed by Beers Architects and Planners in Arlington Heights, Illinois, and VDG in Tamarac, Florida.

Parula Village’s biggest attractions are expected to be nature and diving and fishing. For instance, the site sits at the edge of eleven of the most renowned dive sites in Belize, including the Blue Hole (made famous by Jacques Cousteau), Que Brada, and Half Moon Wall. According to Christian and Janis Dietz, residents and visitors will literally be able to walk off the beach and start diving, rather than having to rent a boat or join a diving tour.

“The environment is very exotic and remote, and it’s an entirely different getaway than people are used to,” comment, Christian and Janis Dietz.

Shallow water and deepwater fishing are available; bird watching is spectacular; and there are opportunities to explore Mayan ruins and the surrounding, unspoiled nature.

Villas will be priced between $274,000 and $500,000. And given that it’s a condo hotel and resort, the villas will be professionally managed and purchasers can rent out their units when they’re not visiting.

Castello Sul Lago

A CASTLE ON LAKE TRAVIS SPICEWOOD, TEXAS

By Cathleen McCann

T

he perfect combination of waterfront living, an active lifestyle, and Old World elegance can be found at Lakecliff, a gated community in Spicewood in Texas’s Hill Country, just west of Austin. Here, Castello Sul Lago, a castle-like home situated on its own peninsula on Lake Travis, offers 900 feet of water frontage and a boat dock to enjoy waterfront living in opulent style.

“It is such a rarity to live on your own peninsula,” says Luisa Mauro, owner/broker of Marathon Real Estate in Austin, of the five-bedroom, five and three half-bath home, which is scheduled to be completed in early 2009.

The 4.5-acre estate’s name means “castle on the lake” in Italian, a fitting description for a property with more than 17,000 square feet of living space and an additional 6,000 square feet of outdoor terraces and balconies.

Old World touches grace the home’s exterior and grounds, making it feel as if it has always been there. And in the case of its retaining wall it’s true, as it was crafted out of stone excavated from the property during construction. “The plaster and stucco exterior will develop a beautiful patina over the years,” Mauro says.

Inside, elegant finishes include marble and mosaic floors, painted frescoes, and Corinthian columns. Unique mantles adorn each of the five fireplaces. An expansive art gallery and a two-story library provide ample wall space to showcase art collections.

The entertaining areas live up to a home of this stature and there are numerous places to enjoy good times. For example, two formal dining rooms flow together seamlessly, making it easy to accommodate either large or intimate gatherings, Mauro notes. Wet bars are located in the media room, the formal living area, and the third floor ballroom. A natural-stone wine cellar, located on the home’s lower level, can store more than 4,000 bottles, while still leaving room for barrel storage and a wine-tasting area.

Outdoor entertaining doesn’t receive short shrift. A full outdoor kitchen, a fireplace, and a bath provide the accoutrements for enjoying the terraces and recreational amenities. And it doesn’t end there. Four negativeedge pools, a lighted Australian-surface tennis court, and a detached exercise room are part of the property’s extensive offerings.

A natural stone chapel and a detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest house, complete with its own terrace overlooking the lake, are also on the estate.

Other highlights include transferable memberships to Lakecliff’s own eighteen-hole Arnold Palmer-designed above: golf course and premier racquet club. The price for Castello Sul Lago is situated on its own peninsula on Lake Travis. Castello Sul Lago is available upon request. I 20

early 2009, this fabulous property is located on 4.5 acres of Lake Travis waterfront property, with 900 feet of water frontage in a gated golf course community. This spacious estate includes 17,000 square feet of living space, along with 6,000 square feet of terraces and balconies. The three-story entry foyer invites you into the exquisite two story living room.

Amenities include a two-story library/study with mezzanine, five indoor fireplaces, and elevator, two distinct dining rooms, museum style art gallery, home theatre, chapel, and complete exercise room. Enjoy entertaining guests in two ballrooms, both with a full bar and balcony.

Choose your wine from a 4,000-bottle underground wine cellar!

Outside, enjoy a game on the Australian surface lit tennis court, or a leisurely swim in one of four cascading negative-edge pools.

Liquid Gold

By Elyse Umlauf-Garneau

W

Waterfront properties are captivating buyers as much as they always have. And in evaluating purchasing decisions, buyers are placing the most weight on their personal goals and life stage versus, say, the credit crunch or energy prices.

twelve residences. This property stands out because of its substantial 12,505-square-foot size, its Palladian-style architecture, an infinity-edge pool, and picture-postcard views of the Gulf of Mexico.

As Bill Earls, of John R. Wood Realtors in Naples, Florida, points out, a sixty-five-year-old CEO who has longed for a special vacation house just isn’t waiting for the bottom of the market or pondering short-term economic issues to make a purchase. What’s paramount is fulfilling his or her personal goals—the dream of benefiting from the fruits of a lifetime of labor and enjoying a retreat.

The four-story home was built in 2000 for an owner whom had a hand in ensuring that every detail, from the European draperies to the marble-paved motor court, was perfectly executed.

OPULENCE AT EVERY TURN Earls, for instance, is marketing a custom-designed home in one of the country’s most exclusive areas of Naples, Florida.

The gated beachfront enclave, the Strand, contains only

WATERFRONT PROPERTIES

“The home design is grand, but detailed to simplicity,” comments Earls. Rather than specifying a hodgepodge of materials, for instance, everything was chosen to work in concert to create a lavish environment. The predominant materials include a trio of stones—umber and cream travertine and Verdi marble—along with two woods, alder and walnut. Used throughout the home, they visually unify the property, accord-

WATERFRONT PROPERTIES ing to Earls. “Moreover, every door, every frame, and every panel was finished by hand,” he comments.

Truly no detail was overlooked in delivering every possible amenity and sumptuousness at every turn: Two exterior travertine staircases lead to the yard and beach. Columns and fountains surround the infinity-edge pool. Inside, coffered ceilings with gold-leaf detail, an elevator serving all floors, and a living room with beachfront views and a hand-carved limestone fireplace make opulent statements. A family room is distinguished by a coffered tongue-and-groove ceiling and a spiral travertine staircase that leads to a recreation space.

“Few will walk into the house and not recognize it as magnificent, unique architecture,” Earls remarks. Moreover, a future owner will get an exceptional value, he believes, and notes that the $17.7-million asking price is less than it would cost to rebuild the property today.

says she feels like she’s walking into a piece of art when she steps into the approximately 5,900-square-foot contemporary house that has an asking price of $37.5 million.

And it’s art without limits. Burns describes the entry, for example, as one that unfolds into ever-widening views of the sand and surf. Walls of glass, sharp lines, and white oak floors create a perfect environment for exquisite art and furnishings. “You’re not met with the usual space limitations imposed by walls. The feeling is that there’s no beginning or end because the outside feels like it’s inside. The ocean is at one with the house,” observes Burns.

The living room features a twenty-foot floor-to-ceiling wall of glass and a blue limestone hearth with built-in wood storage. An outdoor deck offers a spa, a Viking barbecue, a refrigerator, and stairs leading to the beach.

ART WITHOUT LIMITS Another ultra-luxury home, this one a contemporary, is perfectly situated on 1.1 acres in Carpinteria, California, where it captures views of the gently curving beach and the Pacific Ocean. The site is lushly landscaped and includes large eucalyptus, oak, and cypress trees.

The upper level also lacks the normal boundaries of walls and doors. Burns says the master suite is equally startling and notes the spectacular bath, featuring a fireplace, a jetted Zuma tub with ocean views, and a glass door that opens to a private terrace. The master suite’s open layout creates a gallery-like feel, with the main piece of art being the nature outside.

Susan Burns, of Coldwell Banker Previews International in Montecito, who is co-listing the property with Suzanne Perkins of Sotheby’s International Realty in Santa Barbara,

Three additional bedrooms also offer a high level of comfort, with features such as ocean views and upscale baths with Dornbracht fixtures and rain-style showerheads.

Perkins describes the property as truly a rare find. “You never see homes with this level of quality construction, ideal orientation, on such a magnificent, serene site. It’s perfect.”

SAVANNAH CONTEMPORARY Antebellum buildings, not contemporary architecture, are what many people envision when they think of Savannah, Georgia. That’s one reason a four-bedroom contemporary waterfront house in the city’s Dutch Island gated community is so striking. “This house is truly special because there are very few modern houses in Savannah, not to mention one on the water,” comments Annie Rockwell, of Celia Dunn Sotheby’s International Realty in Savannah.

The three-story residence, situated on Grimball Creek, was designed to provide residents sweeping views of the verdant marsh. Its modern design isn’t at odds with the environment, and the home’s public areas capture views of Grimball Creek and lend tranquility to the environment. Four porches, two of which are screened, allow for additional opportunities to enjoy the water.

“When you walk through the double front doors into the living room, there are thirty-foot ceilings and a bank of windows overlooking the water. It is truly breathtaking and a showstopper,” comments Rockwell.

WATERFRONT PROPERTIES

According to Val Bowers, the home’s owner, the house was built with steel beams and concrete and can withstand any kind of treachery Mother Nature delivers. “In a major storm, ours would be the last place standing,” she jokes.

Yet the floor plan is open and bright, and Bowers notes that the approximately 6,500-square-foot residence is especially well-designed for large gatherings. She’s hosted multiple parties, some with just about 200 guests, and says the house’s floating staircase creates visual drama at any event.

Moreover, the kitchen is large enough for forty people to stand around and chat comfortably.

Another unique aspect of the house is a lushly landscaped outdoor atrium between the main living area and the master bedroom. The grounds were recently redesigned by a master gardener who introduced native plants and flowers to the property.

Among its other features are a den outfitted with a wet bar, a spacious lower-level office, and a music room, which is equipped with cabinets for amplification systems and surround sound. Bowers says the master suite is also a standout.

“The room is so comfortable that you could never leave it and still be content,” she says. The space has his-and-her baths so large that the previous owner used one as an office.

www.duPontREGISTRY.com

WATERFRONT PROPERTIES Owners of the house also have access to Dutch Island’s amenities, such as a pool, a deepwater community dock, tennis courts, and kids’ playgrounds. Bowers lauds Dutch Island, saying, “You know everyone who lives around you and it’s truly a community.”

HONEYMOON GETAWAY Nicky Michaels of Oceanfront Properties views Hawaii’s Kauai as something of the next Aspen. After all, he’s noticed an influx of Hollywood celebrities buying houses and vacationing there. It makes sense, he thinks, given that Hawaii is a fairly quick getaway—only a five-hour flight—from Los Angeles. The growing interest in the area is also why he believes a property investment on the island is a strong opportunity for those looking for steady, long-term returns.

He’s selling nine to twelve connecting studio suites situated in a 200-unit building that is right on the water and sand. The units are offered at $280,000 per unit. Given the property’s popularity as a honeymoon destination, Michaels believes marketing the property to couples could be a wise approach for future investors looking to build a steady clientele.

The units have been completely renovated and feature travertine floors, maple wood, and kitchenettes. Guests can walk

right out the door and onto the sand. Michaels says, “Peace and tranquility are what this property is all about. People just come here and melt.”

Despite the complete calm the property offers, it’s still accessible to everything, according to Michaels. For example, it’s within a fifteen-minute drive of the airport and people can jump off a plane and be on the beach within the hour.

Moreover, guests are within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, luaus, and an array sporting activities, including riding all-terrain vehicles, river rafting, kayaking, and surfing.

“The location serves as a gateway to all the adventures on the island,” comments Michaels. Just ten minutes away is the Wailua River for water-skiing and other water sports, and nearby are some of Hawaii’s natural wonders, including Wailua Falls. “All the most beautiful and exotic adventures are right here,” he adds.

BAHAMAS COMPOUND Another exotic adventure awaits in the Bahamas, where an estate on a private peninsula is on the market with a $5.9-million asking price. In addition to its spectacular peninsula location, Farside has two factors that George Damianos, of

Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty, believes really set the property apart. One is a sheltered deepwater dock that can accommodate boats of up to eighty feet and the other is a 2,100-square-foot seaplane hangar. “Both amenities are difficult to find,” he says.

The house occupies the end of a peninsula that projects to the west from Tiloo Cay, an island in the Abacos in the Bahamas. The multibuilding estate spans nearly three acres and includes the 3,264-square-foot main house and a 1,764-square-foot house that contains just the master bedroom and master bath. In addition, there are a 570square-foot guest house, a 1,044-square-foot workshop, and the hangar. The property is marked by a castle tower that has three guest bedrooms.

The décor, described as island Victorian, features open-beam ceilings and a Florida coral fireplace in the main house.

Throughout the property nice touches include a mahogany bar with antique English leaded glass, living quarters surrounded by twenty-four pairs of mahogany French doors, and lamps constructed of musical instruments.

Outdoor spaces capitalize on the fine weather and stunning panoramic views of a neighboring cay and the clear Bahamian water. Wide wraparound verandahs provide for outdoor living in all weather, and a free-form pool, cut into solid limestone, is lined with cobalt blue tiles. And in emergencies, Farside can remain running, thanks to a generator. It also has its own

NEW HAMPSHIRE HIDEAWAYS If an East Coast getaway is in the cards, Lisa Williams, of Wolfeboro Bay Real Estate, offers two waterfront properties on Lake Winnipesaukee that deliver luxury, privacy, and the crisp, clean air of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Lake Winnipesaukee is a 44,000-acre freshwater lake with 274 inhabitable islands, access to seven towns by boat, and less than an hour to a major airport.

The area serves as something of a hideaway for numerous high-profile property owners, including CEOs, sports figures, and musicians, yet they enjoy enormous privacy and aren’t chased by paparazzi.

One $12.5-million property on the lake offers an ideal mix of recreational amenities and privacy on more than 40 acres of wooded and open land, along with approximately 1,100 feet of shoreline. The property is ideal for someone looking to build a compound, though it currently has six buildings, including a two-bedroom lake house and a 9,000-square-foot heated and air-conditioned entertainment and storage building. But the real showstopper is a luxurious 6,000-square-foot fieldstone boathouse that can accommodate seven boats.

The boathouse offers a twenty-seven-foot entrance from Lake Winnipesaukee, a three-ton boat lift, and a launch ramp. The custom-designed structure features a slate roof, fieldstone

WATERFRONT PROPERTIES The secluded site features 15 rolling acres and a 13,000-square-foot house so painstakingly finished by craftsmen that it couldn’t be replicated today for its asking price, believes Williams.

The interior is marked by cherry-wood, granite, and marble details across three levels, and the living room features a massive freestanding granite fireplace and soaring cathedral ceiling with cherry-wood beams. The lower level features a game room, a state-of-the art theater, and a wine cellar. A first-floor master suite includes his-and-her baths with marble and granite accents and walk-in closets. The suite also has a nifty office hidden behind a wall panel. Four additional guest bedrooms are also in the main house.

exterior walls, and custom-made mahogany boat doors, as well as a towering fieldstone fireplace inside.

The property can accommodate at least two more homes, and the location on Umbrella Point gives the owners three sandy beaches to enjoy and the ability to watch sunrises and sunsets. “There’s land for ATVs and groomed trails for hiking and cross-country skiing. Every time I go there, it takes my breath away,” Williams comments.

Another lakefront property, with a $5.4-million asking price, has been meticulously maintained since its 1999 completion and has only been used two months of every year. “Thus, it’s like walking into a brand-new home,” William says.

The estate is ideal for large gatherings because it can comfortably accommodate at least twenty guests.

Outside, there’s a new pool with an adjacent gazebo and bathhouse. A three-story barn could be ideal for car buffs because the heated space can house nine cars. In addition, the property offers 317 feet of lake frontage, along with a sandy beach, and a dry boathouse.

And despite its secluded nature, getting to town is a cinch, and residents also reach a premier golf course via golf cart.

The estate is being sold as a turnkey, so furnishings, a luxury powerboat, two personal watercrafts, and an array of equipment will be included in the sale. New owners would only need to wheel in a suitcase with some clothes to start their lakeside holiday. I

DESTINATION: ST. CROIX, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS

BEAUTY MOMENTS

By Sam Claxton my Land-de Wilde calls them beauty moments, and they have nothing to do with fixing her makeup or long looks in the mirror. The thirty-year resident of St. Croix—a sliver of paradise in the U.S. Virgin Islands—has sold hundreds and hundreds of luxury properties there, but she’s still routinely astounded at her adopted home’s breathtaking splendor.

A

Premier for outstanding sales, yet Land-de Wilde’s passion for her work is still driven in large part by her sense of wonder about St. Croix.

“I’m always pulling over to look at this or that,” she says. “I was driving my daughter to school this morning, and she said, ‘Mom, I don’t have time for one of your beauty moments.’”

One property that qualifies for a beauty moment is Miramar, a fivebedroom, 11,500-square-foot estate located on Solitude Point with vistas of the crystal blue Caribbean and nearby Buck Island. The beach is a thirty-second walk. “It’s absolutely one of the most amazing views on St. Croix,” she says. “And because of where the house is situated, it has one of the most incredible infinity pools you’ll ever see.”

Land-de Wilde lets out a hearty laugh. For the last five years, she’s been a member of the Coldwell Banker International President’s

Miramar is priced at $4.9 million, about a third of what it might cost on, say, the Carolina Coast, never mind Malibu.

Bang for the buck is a prevailing theme in luxury real estate throughout St. Croix. The eighty-four-squaremile island is subject to U.S. laws, uses the U.S. dollar, flies the U.S. flag, and its citizens are eligible for U.S. benefits.

St. Croix is not, however, subject to U.S. traffic jams.

Land-de Wilde grew up in Staten Island, New York, went to Northwestern University near Chicago, and then traveled extensively. She went on a diving trip to St. Croix, fell in thrall, and, in due time, decided to call the island home.

Land-de Wilde sells a lot of vacation homes, which she describes as a “fun process.” “It’s my avocation and my job to open up the island to them,” she says of prospective buyers. “I will always bring people to certain spots to broaden their vision of St. Croix.

“There are still places on the island that bring tears to my eyes.” I

The Silver State Shines with Style

Nevada hits the jackpot for buyers with its great climate, favorable tax advantages, and world-class attractions. There is something here for every age range and every desire.

RESORT LIVING IN HIGH STYLE Nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the CaliforniaNevada border, Lake Tahoe has been a popular year-round resort area for those seeking to soak up its scenic alpine beauty and enjoy its famed casinos and renowned recreational offerings.

106 MARKETPLACE—NEVADA

A veritable playground, Lake Tahoe’s lifestyle has no shortage of options. Golf is a main attraction and includes the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, host of the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament. Skiing also takes center stage at Lake Tahoe with many nearby ski areas, such as Squaw Valley.

With all of that it is no wonder that Lake Tahoe is a soughtafter spot for resort-style living, with condos and lakefront properties commanding top dollar. “Approximately sixty per-

MARKETPLACE cent of the people here are second-home owners,” says Shari Chase, president and CEO of Chase International in Lake Tahoe, whose firm serves California and Nevada.

Huge tax advantages combined with a no-growth area make land on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe extremely valuable.

“There just isn’t the supply to meet the demand,” Chase notes. But there is good news for those looking to enjoy the Lake Tahoe lifestyle. “We are experiencing a market correction,” Chase says. “Now is a great time to buy.”

HIGH-RISE LUXURY The high-rolling glamour of the Strip may have put Las Vegas on the map, but its residents know it for the refined lifestyle it affords. “The luxury market has changed recently,” says Kirby Presswood, of Prudential Americana Group Realtors and a twenty-year veteran of the Las Vegas market.

The trend, Presswood says, is “luxury homes are going verti-

cal” and buyers are choosing high-rise living. But this being Vegas, these aren’t ordinary high-rises. One Queensridge Place, a premier residence with approximately 200 units, is nestled in a master-planned community west of the Strip, lined with restaurants, surrounded by golf courses, and minutes from the Strip.

“Here you get the best of both worlds,” Presswood says of the residence that she herself calls home. “You get large square footage with a custom-home feel.”

Spa and fitness facilities rival those found in the city’s tony resorts. Calling One Queensridge Place the best-kept secret in Vegas, Presswood says that “about sixty-percent of the residents are local and have lived in Las Vegas before.”

a few reasons for Summerlin’s appeal with discerning buyers.

“Summerlin has been the top-selling area in the nation for the past ten years,” Love says. Master-planned community living is a trend in Las Vegas’s luxury sector, he says, and its desirability can be attributed to several factors. Round-the-clock, guard-gated security coupled with rules governing everything from square footage to the upkeep of properties are a just a couple reasons for the lifestyle’s popularity.

As Love notes, “The rules maintain the conformity, integrity, and value of master-planned communities.” I
