WATER MILL ESTATE The Top of the Hamptons

By Eric Snider

S

tar realtor Susan Breitenbach refers to the estate in Water Mill she is selling, which is also the home she shares with husband Stephen, as “different than anything else in the Hamptons.”

How so? A lot of reasons, but start with the view: “The house is above the tree line, which gives you a panoramic view—our beautiful gardens, the sunsets, the Bay,” Susan says. “It’s the top of the Hamptons, the top of the world.”

Stephen, a builder of high-end homes, took on the project and constructed the 12,000-square-foot, six-bedroom, eightbathroom manse to the most exacting standards he could imagine. No expense was spared. Example: the exterior walls are 16-inches thick; the interior walls 10-inches thick.

Custom-designed mahogany French doors throughout.

Covered stone porches with mahogany ceilings. Infinity-edge pool (55 x 22 feet). The estate, completed in 2006, took three years to build, with Stephen incorporating the best ideas from other luxury homes he has undertaken. “We wanted the home to fit the way we live,” Stephen says. “Not super overthe-top. We’ve traveled extensively to a lot of resorts around the world. And when our kids come here they say it’s the best resort they’ve ever been to.”

When the Breitenbachs gather in their large eat-in kitchen, the discussion often turns to some aspect of real estate. You might say it runs in the blood. There’s Stephen, who feels this

FEATURED PROPERTY—NORTHEAST

is the most magnificent home he has built. There’s Susan, who made the Wall Street Journal’s list of Top 50 Agents by Sales Volume in the U.S. in ‘07, ‘08 and ‘09. Son Matthew is a vice president and associate realtor along with Susan at Corcoran Group Real Estate. And there’s daughter Samantha, who recently completed her degree in Interior Design at the Pratt Institute.

The Breitenbach’s were originally selling so they could build a new home on the water. “Stephen’s a big boater and we’ve found a beautiful piece of property where we can keep our boat docked,” Susan says. “But let me tell you. It’s been a very tough choice.”

featured property PERFECT MARRIAGE OF COMFORT, ELEGANCE Eagles Landing, Las Vegas, Nevada

A

A property, 30 Eagles Landing Lane, in Las Vegas recently snagged two awards from duPont REGISTRY™. To celebrate its 15th anniversary, the magazine selected the best of everything related to homes in 15 categories. duPont REGISTRY™ gave the nod to 30 Eagles Landing, ranking the home's kitchen and master bathroom among the top 15 in the country.

Such recognition isn't a huge surprise to Tanya Murray of Realty Executives of Nevada in Las Vegas. After all she and the property's owner, Stephanie Hodges, know they have a prize on their hands.

The 11,641-square-foot estate, reminiscent of an Italian villa, is set on nearly one acre behind the gates of the Estates of Southern Highlands, one of the area's most exclusive communities.

Hodges worked hand-in-hand with her architect to create a dazzling estate that incorporated, top to bottom, the finest materials, construction techniques and artistic details. No design aspect

12

FEATURED PROPERTY—WEST

was too small for Hodges' attention, and it's especially apparent in the property's two award-winning spaces.

The kitchen, for instance, features all of what a luxury buyer would expect in terms of appliances and amenities. Materials include slab granite countertops, hand-hewn wood floors and custom cabinets. The space is replete with a Wolf six-burner range, a Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator, Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers, dual dishwashers, a vegetable steamer, and a Miele espresso maker, along with a separate wine room.

But what makes it more extraordinary, according to Murray, is the feeling of the space. The kitchen includes a built-in bar to accommodate gatherings, and the kitchen area opens to a great room.

"The design and layout encourage people to hang out in the kitchen and family room," she says. "In luxury properties, sometimes there's an anticipated formality. Although the whole house is beautiful and luxurious, there's a sense of comfort and warmth." www.duPontREGISTRY.com

As public and inviting as the kitchen is, the master bathroom is as much a sanctuary and private getaway. It's part of a custom wing that features his-and-her vanities and closets. One feature Murray characterizes as a standout is a clear, encased shoe storage wall. "It's every woman's dream," she comments.

The master bath is a study in elegance and opulence that was executed in lavish finishes. It includes slab granite counters, Swarovski crystal light fixtures and built-in cabinetry, along with custom-designed glass work produced for the house by Las Vegas glass artist Leslie Rankin. As just one example of Hodges' touch, Murray points to the curve of light fixture, a glass wall, and the faucet handles that all mirror one another.

"For whoever lives in this house next, there is just no way that they won't feel the passion and love that went into building this home," comments Hodges. I

PUBLISHER’S LETTER

OCTOBER 2010

PRESIDENT/PUBLISHER Sheri Norris, snorris@dupontregistry.com

Dear Reader, Our cover theme for this month is luxury mountain homes. Mesmerizing Mountain Venues describes how appealing nature can be whether it is in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina or the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. You’ll enjoy this editorial piece especially if you are in the market for this type of scenic beauty.

It seems appropriate that with autumn upon us, New England is the marketplace feature this month. I have spent much of my time in New England, and I can attest to the charm of this region. From the eastern end of Long Island Sound to Chatham, Massachusetts to Boothbay, Maine, the beauty is all around. Also, you won’t want to miss our special feature on Water Mill Estate “The Top of the Hamptons”—a true description in every way.

Make sure you read about our market specials in the Southwest region.

The Architectural Magic article highlights, 1) A coastal beauty in Carpinteria, California which is a rare oceanfront property in a gated community and 2) A Savage Island, Montecito, California property that is a prime setting for a second home among the wealthiest in the nation.

As most of you know, we have spent many years of branding duPont REGISTRYTM as the premier marketplace for buyers and sellers of luxury homes and estates. If you are selling a special property, let us help you differentiate it from the rest and get in front of the buyers who are able to step up to the plate. Special properties for sale require special buyers who have the financial wherewithal to complete the purchase. That’s just what our readers and web site visitors are—special people with financial muscle. You don’t need to mass market special properties. You just need to market effectively. We can help you find that special buyer. Don’t delay. Call us today.

Enjoy,

Architectural Magic The Southwest United States

By Elyse Umlauf-Garneau

T

Though many may have a narrow view of the Southwest-some think strictly of Phoenix or Los Angeles, of wide deserts or of a Native American aesthetic--the region features natural, cultural, and architectural diversity.

ROARING '20S CACHET, COASTAL CALIFORNIA SPLENDOR There's a whisper of old Hollywood cachet in the gated community of Casa Blanca.

Buyers on the hunt for area properties are finding coveted venues, exquisite amenities, and award-winning designs.

The area, set on a stretch of coastline in Carpinteria, California, was a favorite stop-off for many celebrity types when they traveled up and down the coast. The oceanfront venue served as an ideal ambiance for lush celebrations and relaxation.

One house, for example, features a unique architectural design that taps a Moroccan aesthetic. Its neighborhood also served as a haunt for Roaring Twenties celebs.

32

It included several lavish buildings designed in a Moorish style during the 1920s and 1930s by architect George Washington Smith.

And another incorporates stone that was quarried from the site in the 1920s. That estate has been transformed into a masterpiece that marries a timeless design with modern mechanical systems and amenities.

And given that architects for seven house that sit in the gated community took their design cues from Smith's original buildings, that Moroccan aesthetic still permeates the neighborhood.

Across the next several pages, you'll see a bit of architectural magic.

But the interiors are unique. One is reminiscent of Bali, one is

THE SOUTHWEST sleek and contemporary. Others have a Mediterranean feel, whereas a fourth could be a flamboyant Miami property.

That's according to Gary Goldberg, broker of Coastal Properties in Santa Barbara and the listing agent for a $4,650,000-million property in the community.

It, too, features the telltale Moroccan design, and Goldberg characterizes the 4,000-plus-square- foot house as an "amazing beach property, where you get lots for your money. Its pricing is somewhat entry level for the community, where, just down the street, a home sold for more than $16 million this year."

Goldberg's listing, a two-story property, features four bedrooms and an interior that is marked by a bright, modern design and an airy, open sensibility.

The most dramatic aspects of the property, points out Goldberg, are the vistas. Floor-to-ceiling windows deliver heart-stopping, panoramic Pacific Ocean and Channel Island views. And private verandas overlooking a manicured lawn, pristine sandy beaches, and the Santa Barbara coast, further capitalize on the site's high perch.

opposite: Southwest California with its lush greenery and beautiful water and mountain views. www.duPontREGISTRY.com

Community amenities include a tennis court, along with the original combined clubhouse and historic tiled pool villa that were designed by Smith.

And despite the area's reputation as a luxury enclave, along with the perception that it's out of reach, Goldberg notes that a market correction has taken place. He says those who'd been eyeing property in the Santa Barbara area would be well-advised to take a second look. "Market conditions are such that people see value in the region and they can afford to move here," comments Goldberg.

SAVAGE ISLAND, MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA Sought after as one of the most desired locations in the world, Montecito, California offers an idyllic subtropical climate and mesmerizing views of ocean and mountains all within the urban amenities of Santa Barbara. Its location, tucked at the foothills and bordered by the Pacific Ocean, ensures that it cannot be further developed—providing peace of mind to residents that the community of 10,000 they adore will retain its best features.

Montecito caters exclusively to the affluent owner and is considered one of the wealthiest communities in the United States.

Residences are offered as primary and secondary homes and begin in the $1.5 million range.

Located in this California paradise, is the magnificent Saladino Villa estate. Originally built by architect Wallace Frost in the 1920s, the 10,000 square foot “half farmhouse, half villa” was crafted of local stone quarried onsite. The aging villa caught the attention of renowned American designer John Saladino in 2001.

Purchased out of pure emotion and aware that the property would require extensive restoration, Saladino went to work transforming the property into a spectacular residence that honors the home’s original mix of grandeur and modesty. His labor of love is chronicled in the best-selling book and DVD, Villa Saladino, 2009.

Saladino spared no detail in the restoration. The home’s new roof is graced with 14,000 eighteenth century Italian tiles and there are all new windows, doors and mechanical systems.

Luxurious amenities include a huge stone motor court with antique Venetian statuary, a guest apartment/staff quarters with separate entrance, security system, nine fireplaces, 18th century Spanish entry gates, and exquisite attention to the finest of exterior and interior appointments.

offers elegant dining and entertainment areas. A secret door reveals a two-level office suite with 21st century communications center. The master suite enjoys corner fireplaces and opens to an ocean-view gravel garden with artfully placed flora. A second bedroom is flanked by two intimate garden terraces and a luxurious bath with marble walls and tub.

Three additional bedrooms and sitting room are located on an upper level with ensuite baths. The entry-level library/media room features quiet garden views and an inviting fireplace for intimate conversations, solitude or family time.

Adorning the home’s thoughtful placement, are 13 acres of immaculate gardens including an atrium, east terrace, agave garden, olive allee, an “ocean-view” swimming pool, shady vine-covered pergola and sun-drenched yard featuring a 2000-year-old Roman column, which adds an authentic note of permanence to the residence. The quarter-mile driveway winds though a park with some 2,000 trees and provides a relaxing journey to the home.

“This residence in by far one of the most spectacular in Montecito,” says representing agent, Mitchell Morehart, of Village Properties Realtors in Montecito. “It is truly a timeless residence that inspires the best of southern California living. There is nothing like this on the market in Montecito.

This is a rare opportunity to own a home of this caliber in this coveted community.”

MARKETPLACE—NEW ENGLAND

N C Triedand-true

By Cathleen McCann

Coastal New England was built on tried-and-true traditions, many of which remain today. Quaint seaside towns built by sea captains and fishermen dot the Atlantic coastline and provide ample opportunities to soak up the history and beauty these seafaring people created and enjoyed. Beautiful harbors, picturesque beaches, and historic homes are just some of the wonderful things in store for you to discover in this part of the country.

These charming towns are not only popular tourist destinations, but great places to put down roots. Strong footholds to their proud past remain, yet these towns are every bit

ew England up-to-date and part of today’s world. Sophisticated shops, top-rated restaurants and resorts, and world renowned art galleries and gatherings all can be found here. The laid-back lifestyle of coastal New England is sure to suit you whether you are buying a vacation home or year-round residence.

ENCHANTING BEAUTY—CHATHAM, MASSACHUSETTS Its rich maritime history, breathtaking natural beauty, and unforgettable beaches make Chatham, Massachusetts a highly sought after destination in New England for tourists

www.duPontREGISTRY.com

A BUYERS GALLERY of FINE HOMES®

MARKETPLACE—NEW ENGLAND and families alike. Located on the “elbow” of Cape Cod, this area is referred to as the Lower Cape. Surrounded by water on three sides, Chatham is also the eastern most part of Massachusetts.

One of the most desirable towns on the Cape, Chatham’s quaint seaside charm makes it the perfect spot for purchasing a home either on the water or close to town. Top-rated oceanfront resorts such as the Chatham Bars Inn or the Wequassett Resort and Golf Club initially draw many people to the area, but Chatham ends up enchanting them and wanting more.

“Many people come here year after year and end up buying a vacation home because they fall in love with Chatham,” says Chris Rhinesmith, broker/owner with Pine Acres Realty in Chatham, an affiliate of Christie’s Great Estates. Its accessibility from the mainland and great value over comparable properties in other places add to Chatham’s appeal.

The Captain Elisha Harding home is one of Chatham’s most notable. “This is one of the most photographed homes in Chatham,” says Rhinesmith. “It is one of those signature properties that everyone knows and admires.” Built in 1853, the Greek Revival home retains its period details, but has been beautifully restored. The $2.850-million home is located close to the beach and is walking distance to town.

DRAMATIC COASTLINE—MAINE’S SCHOODIC PENINSULA The beauty of New England remains largely untouched on Maine’s Schoodic Peninsula. Located in Hancock County and home to a portion of Acadia National Park, the Schoodic Peninsula has a dramatic coastline of granite cliffs, beautiful sand or rock beaches, and woods. Home to the quaint seaside village of Winter Harbor, the area is across Frenchman Bay from Bar Harbor and accessible daily by ferry during the summer months. Bangor International Airport is approximately an hour away.

“This area is known as “Down East” in Maine lore,” says Scott Christopher, managing partner with The Christopher Group, LLC in Addison, Maine, a firm specializing in properties in Hancock and Washington counties. Mild temperatures combined with low humidity and gentle sea breezes make the Schoodic Peninsula a wonderful place to be in the summer.

The area’s many protected harbors make it the perfect place for sailing.

Set alongside this glorious coastline is OceanWood, one of Schoodic Peninsula’s most distinctive properties. Over a mile of water frontage on protected Birch Harbor and “bold” Atlantic Ocean frontage, make the 150-acre OceanWood the perfect place to enjoy the beauty of coastal Maine.

A quintessential Cape-style Gambrel home can be found on Mill Pond Lane.

This $5.495-million waterfront home, built in 1940, has its own private dock, yet is located in downtown Chatham. “It is unusual to find both of those things,” Rhinesmith says. “Only a handful of homes in town have this combination.”

Other unique features of the property include private guest quarters located above the two-car garage.

“OceanWood is one of the largest pieces of waterfront property available in Hancock County,” Christopher says. The property consists of different types of beaches—from sand to pebble to rock—as well as pink granite cliffs, ponds, and several existing cottages. These cottages, built before the required distance from the water was increased, have been “grandfathered” and are steps from the shore.

area of Boothbay Harbor in Maine is famous for its beauty, quiet ambiance and charming maritime villages. Owning a cottage on the bay has been a tradition passed down for generations of families. Rarely, these antique cottages come available and when they do, they tend to be enjoyed by those who cherish the rich heritage of family time, ease and simple pleasures.

Other unique features include underground utilities already installed throughout the property, a rarity in rocky Maine, as well as an extensive interior road system. A variety of building sites are available or you can purchase the entire property.

Prices range from $199,000 for a small parcel of harbor front property to $12.5-million for the whole property.

Established as a summer colony nearly 100 years ago, the peninsula BoothBay Harbor is located on runs out into the Atlantic ocean and offers a variety of communities each with their own unique flavor. Boothbay Harbor has been hailed the “Soul of the Coast” and one of the most beautiful harbors in America. Its deep waters allow residents to keep watercraft at their docks all year. And the area’s amenities keep families returning for summers of tennis, boating, sailing, shopping and relaxing in the refreshing Maine air.

“This is a very beautiful location for those wanting to retire and for families who want to create lasting memories at the Coast,” Buxton says.

One of the gracious properties she represents is a classic cottage with small guest house that hails from the early 1900s. It offers spectacular views of the harbor and a heritage of original, unaltered features throughout the cottage.

It’s Juniper and McKnown Pt. neighborhood was established almost 100 years ago by professors and theologians, and is just two miles from town.

“This beautiful cottage has never been offered on the

market,” Buxton says. “It’s rare to find a place this pure in its features, with wooden floors and fieldstone fireplace.

Unlike many cottages here, this one can be winterized and altered if desired. It’s the perfect place to spend your summers.”

A new “pagoda” style roof adds charm, and its wraparound covered porch is perfect for sitting back and enjoying the views of ocean and islands. A private dock with a 110 feet of deep waterfront and small waterfront guest house compliment the property. The community association offers four clay tennis courts, full-time tennis pro, community house and is just minutes away from the yacht club, golf course and hospital.

“Unlike many Maine towns, where you have to own property or go to a restaurant to see water, in Boothbay Harbor, you have views of the water all the time. This is a very special area to enjoy life,” Buxton says. I

MOUNTAIN LUXURY

Mesmerizing Mountain Venues

EASTERN AND NORTHEASTERN TENNESSEE Luxury mountain properties are a coveted find in Eastern and Northeastern Tennessee where the Smoky Mountains create breathtaking vistas and a welcome feeling of seclusion is complimented by close proximity to entertainment, shopping, dining and outdoor pastimes. Custom properties are the pride of builders and owners, with unique details in log structures, stonework and ingenious design.

“People also enjoy the fact that Tennessee has no state income tax and our property taxes are very low,” says Pam Johnson, who along with her husband, Winston, owns Lux Mountain Realty, headquartered in Abingdon, Virginia. Their company represents custom luxury properties in Virginia and Tennessee.

In the tradition of original design is a gorgeous estate, represented

by Johnson, located in the gated community of “The Enclave at Cove Mountain” in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. This custom home features splendid stone work and long-distance views of Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. Its 7,222 square feet of gracious living space is adorned with slate, travertine and granite complimented by woodwork throughout. The home features six bedrooms, five and one-half baths, kitchen, dining, home office and theater room, as well as a four-car garage.

“This is a beautiful home with antique beams and lovely details,” says Pam Johnson. “It’s very serene with lots of wildlife and the most amazing views. You have the sense of being secluded yet you are only a few minutes away from local amenities.”

SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE, VIRGINIA Nestled in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Smith Mountain Lake offers a pristine setting for the luxury lake residence. Lush rolling hills that drop down to the peaceful shoreline; clear, deep waters that shimmer in the glistening sunrises and an inviting community atmosphere that welcomes residents from all over the world create an idyllic locale to call home. Pulsing with fun summer activities, water sports, fishing, sailing, leisure boating, and championship golf the area is marked by its adventurous and happy spirit.

“Everyone is here because they want to be, they want to have fun and so no matter where residents come from they immediately have that in common,” says Jane Sullivan Horne, CRS, REALTOR® with Prudential Waterfront Properties. She specializes in luxury Smith Mountain Lake properties. “One community on the lake has residents from 17 states and five different countries—so there’s a wide range of diversity, yet somehow we have a strong sense of community.”

Smith Mountain Lake has more than 500 miles of shoreline and 22,000 acres. Tucked in the foothills of the Appalachians, it was created by the local hydroelectric company. It has a minimal one foot water fluctuation and is accessible year-round. Its gorgeous shoreline is punctuated by spectacular lake dwellings, private docks and luxurious boathouses.

One spectacular home represented by Horne offers a brick contemporary design with breathtaking views of Smith Mountain and the lake. Located in The Water’s Edge, a coveted golf community designated as the third best in America by Golf Digest magazine, this home features nearly 8,000 square feet of inviting living space. Details include local materials: brick from Salem, Virginia; Alderwood cabintry and moulding from Roanoke County, VA; 4,500 square feet of stone decking overlooking Smith Mountain, as well as a 28-foot tower rising from the second floor fabricated out of steel from nearby Lynchburg, VA. Five bedrooms, six baths, vaulted ceilings and exquisite details throughout are testimony to its elegant grace.

“This is a spectacular home with gorgeous lake and mountain views. People also enjoy Smith Mountain Lake because we offer a constant array of activities that attract families and grandchildren,” Horne says. “There are so many things here to do that keep families together. It’s really a wonderful place to live.”
