STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS

Down the hallway onto the fairway We understand that those looking at buying a property on a golf course are not just investing in a home, they are investing in a lifestyle; to wake up and walk directly onto the green and to spend the morning playing a few rounds, before retreating to the clubhouse for a spot of lunch.

This is why Fine & Country has teamed up with European Tour Properties to form a specialist division, Fine & Country Golf Living. The division is dedicated to the marketing and sale of an elite collection of golf properties on some of the world’s most exclusive golf courses.

> C.A.N.I. Can On Sunday 10th July, Fine & Country welcomed around 3,500 people to watch teams battle it out in the eighth Fine & Country Gold Cup at Dallas Burston Polo Club.

In typical British style, attendees lunched on picnics and sipped Pimms as they watched C.A.N.I. claim the title.

Attendees donated their car parking fee to the Fine & Country Foundation, which is dedicated to fighting homelessness, raising £5,000 in charitable donations.

David Lindley, CEO of Fine & Country, said: “It was a pleasure to again host the Cup. The event was a great chance for attendees to experience a competitive day of polo and browse our selection of equestrian homes. Congratulations to the winners C.A.N.I. who ‘came through in the sunshine and ominous clouds to win a thrilling tournament.”

> A Big Weekend The annual Fine & Country Big Weekend took place in July, with agents from around the globe meeting at the grand Belfry Hotel.

W

e recommend treating yourself to a stay at The Yeatman Hotel, in the heart of the Gaia district, during your idyll in Porto, Portugal’s second-largest city. The Yeatman bills itself as a wine hotel, the theme running through the establishment, from the extensive wine cellars to the Caudalie Vinothérapie Spa, which offers therapies using extracts from the vine.

Day One: After a hearty breakfast at The Yeatman, with the Duoro River snaking below, walk downhill to the Ponte Luis I that anchors the city. The double-decker bridge spanning the river was created by Teophile Seyrig, a former partner of Gustave Eiffel, and the views from the upper level are spectacular.

Crossing to the Porto side, board the Funicular dos Guindais to ascend the steep hill to the old town. Admire the panoramic views across the river, taking in the Ribeira waterfront, the Cais de Gaia on the opposing bank, and the barcos rabelos rocking gently on their moorings. These boats traditionally transported barrels of port from the vineyards upstream.

Walking towards Avenida dos Aliados, a sloping boulevard lined with grand buildings and a central promenade, you’ll find the São Bento train station. Stop to appreciate the delicate blue and white tiled panels painted by artist Jorge Colaço, which allude to the history of Portugal and the development of transport. At the top of the avenue stands the Town Hall, a palatial granite and marble structure with a tall bell tower.

By now you’ll have worked up an appetite, so pop into the fascinating 19th-century Mercado do Bolhão. This market does a brisk trade in fresh local produce, so it’s the perfect place to sample local wines, smoked meat and cheese, or swing by one of the inexpensive stalls on the ground level for a fresh seafood feast.

Circling back towards the river, drop into the Lello Bookstore. Built in 1906 and renovated in 1995 after falling into disrepair, this is now arguably the most beautiful book shop in the world, and possibly the most ornate, blending Neo-Gothic and Art Deco elements including carved wooden ceilings, stained-glass, and an eye-catching red staircase. From here it’s a short walk to Clerigos Tower, an easily spotted architectural landmark that affords a bird’s-eye view of the city’s red roofs and hills atop its 240 steps. The 1763 structure is the bell tower of the baroque Clerigos Church.

Continuing towards the river, the next stop is one of the city’s oldest monuments, the 12th Century Porto Cathedral.

The cathedral is flanked by two square towers, each supported by two buttresses and crowned with a cupola.

Less than ten minutes’ walk away, the magnificent, Neoclassical Palácio da Bolsa, the former stock exchange, ➤➤

is housed in a square containing a statue of Henry the Navigator, the first of Portugal’s great explorers. Next door, is the 13th Century São Francisco church, boasting a flamboyant interior laced with gold leaf.

For an authentic Portuguese food experience, book into ODE Porto Winehouse, tucked down a side street near São Francisco. This eatery features an impressive wine list that extends to the décor, with slate table-tops resting on wine barrels. The restaurant sources fresh Portuguese produce, including bread from Bragança, smoked pork from Minho and sheep’s milk cheese from Alentejo and it’s minutes from the waterfront, which comes alive at night.

Day Two: Start the day with a refreshing dip in The Yeatman’s lush swimming pool, before crossing back to the Porto side and trundling to Foz, Porto’s beach suburb, on a 1920’s vintage tram. The trip to the Atlantic takes around 20 minutes.

Wander through the Jardim do Passeio Alegre, an elegant garden entered through two 19th Century obelisks and surrounded by palm trees, sculptures, two mini-golf courses, and a bandstand that hosts philharmonic concerts during the summer.

For dinner, book a table at the gastronomic restaurant at The Yeatman, the only restaurant in Porto to carry a Michelin star. Sample innovative dishes accompanied by Alvarinho wines as you gaze out over the city, knowing that you have but sampled the delights that Porto has to offer. ■

> STAY AT: The Yeatman Hotel

The Yeatman is a haven for wine-lovers and the prime destination for those wishing to explore the pleasures of port, the classic wine for which the city of Oporto is famous. www.the-yeatman-hotel.com

> SNACK ON: Pastel de nata

This sweet Portuguese egg tart pastry is the perfect complement to an espresso at any of Porto’s cafés.

> DRINK AT: Caves Sandeman

Located in an 1811 granite building overlooking the river, the Sandeman port tour details Sandeman’s wine tradition and the ageing process. www.sandeman.com

Most of the beaches here are dotted with outcrops of rocks, so not great for swimming, but stroll along the water’s edge to the swanky beachside Praia da Luz restaurant for an early lunch, before continuing another mile or so to Castelo do Queijo, a fortress dating from 1661. It is reached by a drawbridge, and the cannons inside point towards the sea. From the fortress, amble through Parque da Cidade, Portugal’s largest urban park. Catch the bus back to Porto in time for an afternoon port tour and tasting at any one of the port wine lodges on the Gaia side of the river.

Right: The chic Yeatman Hotel.

Clockwise from left: Hole 1 of the testing Albatros Course at Le Golf National; Albatross Golf Resort – situated on a hillside bordering the Cesky kras nature reserve; the clubhouse at The Dutch has an awe-inspiring interior with a distinctively Scottish flavour.

T

he European Tour is a spectacular golf tour, spanning numerous global locations. Throughout the destinations, there are a plethora of spectacular golf courses playing host to big European Tour tournaments, featuring the best players in world golf.

Venues based in Europe welcome the European Tour during the summer months and into autumn, especially between May and September. One of these is Le Golf National, near Paris, France.

This year marked a special milestone for Le Golf National, with the staging of the 100th edition of the Open de France. The venue is now the “home” of this historic event - the oldest Open in Continental Europe - having played host since 1991. The Tour’s top golfers took to the fantastic Albatros course, with Thai golfer Thongchai Jaidee winning the event by four strokes and claiming his eighth European Tour title in the process.

The Albatros course at Le Golf National has the privilege of hosting the Ryder Cup in 2018, and golf fans have the opportunity to play the course in the lead up to the event. Having recently reopened following renovation work, including a new irrigation and draining system, the Albatros course is certainly a world-class golfing experience.

“The developments carried out at Le Golf National should excite all golfers, not just the professionals, as it is now open for anyone to come and try for themselves,” says David MacLaren, Director of Property and Venue Development at the European Tour. “Le Golf National is one of the jewels in the European Tour Properties crown, and we must applaud

Paul Armitage and his team for their efforts in this project, and for their commitment to maintaining and improving an already world-class facility.”

Having enjoyed the testing challenge of playing at Le Golf National, and after major Championships and golf’s return to the Olympic Games, the European Tour moves on, arriving in August in the Czech Republic to play the D+D Real Czech Masters at Albatross Golf Resort in Prague.

The event takes place between the 18th and 21st August.

It’s been a great year for Albatross Golf Resort, as it became the 19th member of the European Tour Properties network and an official European Tour Destination. Located just a 20 minute drive from Prague, the resort is impressive and has played host to both men’s and ladies European Tour events. Stanislav Lisner, General Manager at Albatross Golf Resort, spoke in glowing terms regarding the European Tour’s decision to award the resort membership of the European Tour Properties network. “The overall quality of the resort played the biggest role, but it is also about the location. The first two years (of being on the European Tour) have proven that the players like it here. Albatross was voted in the top five best-prepared courses on the Tour on both occasions and players often bring their families with them.”

Albatross Golf Resort is a fantastic golfing venue, but Lisner is keen to continue improving, both in terms of the golf course and the facilities. “We are very proud of our greens and tees. We have five sets of tees on every hole, hand-mowed every day. We also try to add new features every year. For example, over the last winter we built three new lakes and two new creeks connecting ➤➤

them. We just want to be better and better,” he said. It’s clear the management and staff at Albatross Golf Resort are motivated to maintain and continually improve upon current standards, which are already high.

Before heading back overseas, the European Tour’s top golfers will arrive in The Netherlands to contest the KLM Open. Scheduled to take place between the 8th and 11th of September, the KLM Open has been part of the European Tour calendar since the Tour was established in 1972, and, in 2016, the tournament will be hosted by The Dutch, in Spijk, near Groningen.

The Dutch is an inland links-style golf course and was created by Colin Montgomerie and Ross McMurray of European Golf Design, which is a joint venture between IMG and European Tour. The undulating greens, burn-like water hazards and links-like bunkering make The Dutch a test for even the best European Tour golfers and the off-course facilities easily match the standard of the course. A worldclass, awe-inspiring clubhouse complements the golf course superbly and it’s little wonder The Dutch will remain the host of the KLM Open until 2018, at the very least.

When the winter weather takes a grip over the majority of Europe, the European Tour moves to sunnier climes in the United Arab Emirates for the exciting 2016 season finale. The DP World Tour Championship will take place between the 17th and 20th November and will not only be the seasonending event on the European Tour International Schedule, but also the final event of the Race to Dubai.

Jumeirah Golf Estates will host the tournament and, in addition to the three golf courses highlighted above, it is within European Tour Properties’ network of world-class golf venues. The 2016 DP World Tour Championship will take place on the Earth course and in the words of Nick Tarratt, Director of the European Tour’s Dubai office: “On quality golf courses the cream will always come to the top and the DP World Tour Championship is no exception. The tournament can boast of a strong list of names on the trophy, including Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson and Rory McIlroy.”

Jumeirah Golf Estates is one of the most exciting allround golf complexes in the region. In addition to two Championship golf courses, Jumeirah Golf Estates boasts a luxury residential golf community, a newly-opened, state-of-the-art clubhouse and the first European Tour Performance Institute in the Middle East, providing world-class training facilities for elite professional and amateur golfers alike.

In terms of luxurious property, Jumeirah Golf Estates offers four distinctive districts of townhouses and apartments, many of which enjoy splendid views over the Earth course. The DP World Tour Championship is the perfect opportunity to not only watch the world’s best golfers compete on a tremendous course, but also to view the fantastic property available at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

Top: Rory McIlroy proudly displays his DP World Tour Championship and Race to Dubai trophies.

Bottom: Young Belgian Thomas Pieters claimed his maiden European Tour victory at the 2015 D+D Real Czech Masters.

Each of the these venues, including Le Golf National, Albatross Golf Resort, The Dutch and Jumeirah Golf Estates, combines world-class golf courses with highclass facilities. Courtesy of expertly designed clubhouses, restaurants offering superb cuisine, and the availability of luxurious, on-site property, European Tour Properties are at the forefront of both modern golf and modern living. n

uadalmina Baja is a luxury Spanish beachside area just outside Marbella on the edge of San Pedro de Alcantara. The area is built around the five-star hotel Guadalmina and is well-known for its luxurious ambience and large villas.

It’s a golfer’s paradise, with the Guadalmina golf course on site, and the golf courses of Nueva Andalucia and el Paraiso nearby. Throw in shopping facilities, restaurants and bars and easy access to San Pedro de Alcantara, with its new town boardwalk and host of activities, and it all adds up to a premium property offering. Should more night time entertainment be on the cards, Puerto Banus and Marbella Old Town are just a few minutes’ drive away.

Within the private residential estate of Guadalmina Baja sits a villa of stunning design, located within easy strolling distance of the beach. Set behind a high wall, the external vision of this property is one of sharp, clean lines.

The addition of a modern interpretation of a moat has been used to create the illusion of a contemporary villa floating on water. The interiors, by FOC Design Marbella are as visually arresting as any work of art.

The entrance hall provides an immediate statement, with the double-height ceilings contributing to the feeling of space and leading easily to the main living area and drawing room, warmed by a two-sided gas fireplace.

The fireplace provides additional, cosy heating for the cooler winter months before the underfloor heating is required. Both the living area and the separate dining room have direct access to the main terrace overlooking the pool, as well as the adjacent summer dining area with an outside BBQ under a thatched pergola. An additional thatched pergola provides a superb chill out area, ideal for warm summer evenings.

URBAN RETREAT

A

silia Africa, The Highlands Camp, is positioned in an exclusive location in the far reaches of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania. The setting ensures maximum privacy, while providing access to the diversity of the Ngorongoro Crater. At 8,890-feet, on the edge of the mountain forest hugging the Olmoti Volcano, The Highlands strikes the perfect balance between a wilderness experience and a stylish escape.

Fusing contemporary architectural design with traditional Maasai influence, the eight futuristic domed suites feature king-sized beds that look out at a panoramic view through the triangulated window design. Wood-burning

stoves keep the rooms warm throughout the chilly nights and outdoor decking areas provide ideal vantage points over the landscape.

With the Ngorongoro Crater close by, game drives in this wildlife-rich landscape are the primary activity, but guests can also enjoy a Maasai cultural experience, hike the Empakaai crater, or take a Olmoti nature walk, following the trails of the tribesmen – which may end up being the highlight. Everything points towards this newcomer being the next big thing on the Tanzanian safari circuit. www.asiliaafrica.com

INTERIOR DESIGN SCENE

Design for the young As a family expands, it’s logical to move house to provide everyone the space they need.

Finding the perfect property may only be the first step, as Lisa Preece discovers.

N

ew York City trained Heather Garrett has a keen eye for beautiful design. After training in the Big Apple, studying interior design at Parsons and being tutored by French designer Robert Couturier, she moved to Durham, North Carolina, to open Heather Garrett Interiors and now has clients from Dallas to San Francisco. During this time, she developed her own style and has worked on many beautiful homes throughout the USA. Never one to push design over functionality, Heather’s signature style combines the practicality of family life with a variety of sophisticated forms and textures – plaster, hide, velvet, linen – and extraordinary lighting.

She also loves bringing nature into her designs, believing that nothing made by man is as beautiful as that found in nature.

Her work has been noticed in the design community, and as a member of both the American Society of Interior Designers and the Interior Design Society, she earned the coveted “Best of Houzz: Design” recognition for five years running, 2012–2016.

It retained some of their touches, including a sunroom off the kitchen, with a glass mosaic floor. It was beautiful, but impractical for crawling babies.”

Music Room Some of the spaces needed to become more family friendly, like the spacious music room. With a grand piano, large centre table, wet bar, and polished floors, it was beautiful, but not easily utilised. “The dark hardwood flooring through the main level and in the stairwell was gleaming, but cold. The space needed added warmth, through textiles on the floor, walls, and furnishings,” explains Heather. This room was transformed into a cosy family room for TV time, reading, or watching sports with friends, with the handy wet bar nearby.

“The room is enfilade with the living room from the home’s entry, so it was important that the formal living and informal family spaces could coexist in one line of sight. ➤➤

Project Recently, Heather was approached by a family who were moving from North Carolina to Dallas. They needed her help in designing their home interior around their young family. With two small children, the family needed a functional and welcoming space, not forgetting the importance of soft floors and furnishings for tumbling toddlers.

“When the clients first saw the rambling 1950’s red brick Georgian home in the leafy Greenway Park neighbourhood of Dallas, it was designed more for a formal lifestyle than my clients were intending to live,” says Heather. “The estate was previously home to successful businessman Ross Perot, Jr. and his large young family during the 1980s.

INTERIOR DESIGN SCENE

The exotic carpet print, paired with sophisticated washed linen and zesty teal slipcovered leather, mix comfort and style to create a welcoming space. The slipcovered acidwashed sofa is hardy enough for children to be messy without threat of ruining it.”

Sunroom Previously a formal room, the sunroom became the perfect place to enjoy early mornings with a cup of coffee, have weekend family time, or dim the luminous sconce lights in the evening.

“The vaulted ceilings of the sunroom struck me as having the spirit of an aviary. I customised a mural of birds in flight with New York City based designers Trove, to incorporate the colours of the mosaic floor border.

I then filled the room with a soft, wool, custom rug from Stark Carpet.”

Stairs The stairwell was full of echoes and cold when the family first moved in, but Heather and her team turned it into a warm and inviting space. “We grounded the stairs with a foyer table and lamp light, a chandelier, and artwork.

It is almost a room in itself. I feel it’s important to create ‘miniature rooms’ wherever you can. A perfectly scaled lamp and piece of furniture in a dark hallway, open stairwell, or awkward room corner can change the space completely.”

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

F

ine & Country has partnered with IFX, one of the world’s leading foreign exchange providers, to offer tailored currency services for all of our clients buying and selling luxury property around the world.

A key component of an international transaction, which is often overlooked, is the volatility of the currency markets. The highest exposure to risk, for all parties involved in any international property purchase, is the period between an accepted offer and completion. On a £500,000 property transaction, a 5% movement in currency rates, would incur a cost difference of £25,000.

Extreme economic events such as the recent Brexit vote undoubtedly cause a huge shift in the currency markets, but even the release of monthly economic data has an adverse effect on the price of currency.

With Fine & Country’s broad international reach, we have decided to help all of our clients achieve cost effective outcomes on their international transfers.

IFX, established in 2005, operate a tailored and personalised service and will cater for Fine & Country’s clients through the dedicated private client division of the company. Yvonne Pexton is overseeing the provision and has compiled some client FAQ’s for Graham Harborne, the divisions Head of dealing, who emphasises why getting the FX transaction right is so important.

Graham offers a wealth of experience, having been in the FX industry for 10 years, so he’s the perfect candidate to answer our top four FAQ’s.

What does a foreign exchange specialist do?

“Foreign exchange brokers and IFX in particular exist to not only offer cost effective solutions on currency conversions but to also assist with the management of the international transfers much more efficiently than going through any bank. To sum up, we offer our clients, safe, SWIFT transfers, and are able to pay numerous beneficiaries in multiple currencies.”

Why should I speak with a specialist?

“Relying on luck for the timing of your currency conversion leaves you exposed to unforeseen currency market volatility. My aim, and that of my dealing team, is to provide clients with all the information and technical tools needed to stay in control of their finances and keep within budget.”

When should I start thinking about currency?

“I would say to get in touch as soon as you decide to purchase or sell. Currency buying tools and well timed strategies are applied to help you achieve a desirable result in any given time frame, and the more time - the better the outcome. However, if you have an immediate requirement, we can register an account, agree a rate with you and send funds out - in the same day!”

How safe is my money?

“We are authorised and regulated as an AEMI by the FCA. This means that IFX has met more stringent requirements and standards than most foreign exchange companies. All clients’ funds are safe protected.

If you would like to begin planning your currency conversions or simply have any questions, please feel free to call the Fine & Country Helpdesk at IFX on 0203 301 7261 or email us at fx@fineandcountry.com

STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS

Down the hallway onto the fairway We understand that those looking at buying a property on a golf course are not just investing in a home, they are investing in a lifestyle; to wake up and walk directly onto the green and to spend the morning playing a few rounds, before retreating to the clubhouse for a spot of lunch.

This is why Fine & Country has teamed up with European Tour Properties to form a specialist division, Fine & Country Golf Living. The division is dedicated to the marketing and sale of an elite collection of golf properties on some of the world’s most exclusive golf courses.
