STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS

A strategy for success F

ine & Country understands moving home is one of the most important decisions you can make; your home is both a financial and emotional investment.

Professional property marketing on a local, regional, national and international level.

Fine & Country takes the instruction to sell your home as a privilege, an honour and as a very serious commitment to you. Through excellent marketing, we deliver an efficient sales process and a courteous, careful service.

The more expensive property demands a more extensive presentation in order to enhance the character of the property, the location, the area, the facilities and the lifestyle – for all prospective buyers.

The widespread exposure of your property is crucial. In today’s market not only is the mobility of buyers greater than ever, but also the ways in which they may access information.

Instruct Fine & Country and you could benefit from our knowledge, experience, expertise and contacts and our well trained, educated and courteous staff. You are assisted, advised and informed through each stage of the whole transaction.

“Sophisticated, intelligent and creative marketing that provides the type of information buyers would never normally see – it is a case of presenting and promoting your property as if it were our own.”

News > Summer events The Fine & Country summer event schedule is in full swing.

The first calendar event was the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Golf Club in Surrey, where Fine & Country exhibited fantastic golf properties for sale around the world. The golfing competition, which ran from the 24 – 27 May, attracts some of the world’s best golfers. Fine & Country also ran a social media competition to win two tickets to the final day of the event, which saw the winner claim the trophy at the renowned course.

Now, thoughts are turning to the 10th anniversary of the Fine & Country Gold Cup polo championship, which will take place on Saturday 7 July at Dallas Burston Polo Club, near Royal Leamington Spa. Teams will engage in a thrilling game of this quintessentially British sport, while families and friends picnic and sip Prosecco around the pitch. For the first time, the event will run into the evening, with a glittering celebration.

The office will concentrate on properties in the north of the island, and is situated in Grand Baie. The office has been established by Arnaud Mayer, who has run successful real estate agency Evaco on the island for many years.

Mauritius has a population of just over 1.2 million and offers a wide range of properties, from seafront apartments to villas and investment opportunities. The island has enjoyed an influx of investment into its infrastructure and transport links, including roads, ports and airports. There are several completed, ongoing and upcoming development projects aiming at transforming the country into an investment hub and a highly prized tourist destination.

> Fast-tracking growth Fine & Country has had an extremely successful start to 2018 expanding rapidly in the first quarter of the year. The brand opened two offices in Europe, in Cyprus, and Cascais, Portugal.

The new Fine & Country Cyprus office was launched by Nicos Anastasiades, President of the Republic of Cyprus, who gave a welcoming speech to more than 200 people. Fine & Country Cascais joins the network of 12 Portuguese offices in Comporta, Porto, Estoril, Chiado Lisbon, Marques do Pombal Lisbon and six locations along the Algarve.

Additionally, Fine & Country has expanded in the UK, with three new offices. Fine & Country Tunbridge Wells opened its latest office in mid-January, while Fine & Country Leicester and Fine & Country Bury St. Edmunds opened in February.

> Three-year earthquake anniversary On 25 April 2015, a devastating earthquake struck Nepal.

Tens of thousands of people were displaced, and thousands remain living in temporary accommodation. Three years later, The Fine & Country Foundation has rebuilt over half of the homes in the small mountain village of Thangpalkot1, where 86 of the 94 houses were flattened.

A donation of £16,000 provided funding for 10 houses in March 2017, and a trek to Everest Base Camp in October 2017 raised an incredible £32,000 for a further 20 houses. The support for Thangpalkot1 continues in 2018: £1,296 was raised at the Fine & Country conference, and individual offices have pledged their support for the village.

50 houses have now been funded and 41 of these are completed or receiving some finishing touches.

he Pinelli Estate’s Porsche Cayenne squeezes through the narrow streets of the historic quarter of Naples, slowing for pedestrians who pad across the cobblestones, seemingly oblivious of traffic. It’s a relief when we reach the motorway, Mount Vesuvius on our left as we head south towards the Cilento Coast.

“This is Salerno,” says Nigel Carley, Chairman of The Pinelli Estate, gesturing towards the window. Rumour has it that Ryanair may soon be flying into the airport here, perfect for visitors wanting to bypass the chaos of Naples.

Gliding along the road, Nigel’s enthusiasm for this part of Italy is palpable. He points out fields of vegetables, ripening under the Italian sun. It’s artichoke season, and crates are sold by the roadside. “Buffalo sheds,” he says, pointing to some tin roofs in the middle of a field of grass being grown as Buffalo fodder. Buffalo here live a coddled existence, explaining Campania’s reputation for fine buffalo mozzarella cheese.

Before long, we are winding through the hills, past tumbledown stone buildings that make me dream of renovation. The Pinelli Estate was once one of these – “Il Rifugio”, the property on the estate, which covers 18 acres of rolling hills, was a traditional local farm building with over ten generations of Italian owners. It dates back almost 300 years, but suffered from neglect in its latter years. Nigel and his soon-to-be-wife Dawn’s tender ministrations have brought the home back to life in spectacular fashion.

Local stone, aged birch wooden beams, shuttered windows and terracotta roof tiles reinforce the classic Italian architecture. My friend Katy and I are ushered into the upper level through thick wooden doors. Four double en suite bedrooms are on this level, featuring exposed brick, timber beams and extravagant touches – chandeliers, ornate mirrors, and bold bedside lamps. Downstairs, there’s a cosy lounge room and a snug that leads onto the kitchen and dining area and out to a terrace that overlooks the heated infinity pool. “The Jacuzzi was delivered today,” says Nigel, pointing past the pool where three workmen surround the large hot tub. “We should have it working by the end of the day.”

Past the pool, olive trees lead down the hillside, making way for a spectacular view. Lush green hills roll across the horizon and down in the valley, where a train chugs over the lengthy railway bridge on the outskirts of Agropoli. A triangle of sea marks the furthest boundary of the summer resort town. It’s breathtaking and only the appeal of a Mediterranean lunch of fresh Buffalo mozzarella, green olives, prosciutto, ruby-red tomatoes and crusty bread drags our eyes from the spectacle.

Nigel and Dawn are keen to show us to the highlights of the area, of which there are many. We drive by Agropoli Marina, where houses perch on the cliff-top like sentinels of the sea. In Paestum, founded by the Greek Achaeans around 600BC and less than 20 minutes’ drive away, we eat gelato while we admire some of the best-preserved ancient

remium golf properties are just that, commanding a price premium when located on a spectacular golf course. European Tour Properties prides itself on offering the finest golf property across a wide range of world-class golf courses and resorts, and golfers and property buyers know to expect nothing but the best when purchasing a European Tour property. Taking a glance at European Tour Properties’ portfolio, it’s easy to see why.

Premium golfing is at the heart of European Tour Properties’ philosophy, as evidenced by their portfolio of 27 world-class golf venues, spread across three continents. Each of these stunning settings has a close association with the European Tour and, therefore, the standard of the property at each venue is extremely high, matching the quality of the golf courses themselves.

A recent survey conducted by European Tour Properties aimed to discover the real estate property price premiums associated with buying a property on a golf course, and there were some interesting results.

Data from nine European Tour Properties’ network venues, which includes all property for sale at each venue, showed properties facing the golf course carry an average price premium of 9.5% over non-golf-facing properties. This means those keen to invest in golf course properties are happy to pay more to have a view of the course.

Resorts such as PGA Catalunya command higher premiums. This is a stunning venue, where contemporary lifestyle meets smart design and award-winning development embraces nature. ➤➤

Apartments, town houses and semi-detached villas are all available at PGA Catalunya, with the latter set in a private garden enclave nestled between the fairways of the Stadium Golf Course. The luxurious, open-plan living accommodation features a swimming pool, sun terrace, private gardens and large master bedrooms, with en suite and separate dressing areas. It’s evident purchasers are happy to pay a premium when buying property at PGA Catalunya, as the most recent La Selva semi-detached villas have all been sold.

The survey also demonstrated that golf properties within European Tour Properties’ network venues accrue a 19% premium over properties for sale outside the resort. This can be seen with villas at Quinta do Lago, Portugal and Terre Blanche, France.

Set amongst the rolling hills of Provence, in the midst of oak and pine trees, Terre Blanche was ranked No 1 Golf Resort in Continental Europe by Golf World magazine. Off-plan villas and plots of land are available here, with each villa owner offered a full range of services as well as resident membership to the Terre Blanche golf club.

Interestingly, and perhaps surprisingly, the survey

by European Tour Properties showed only 34% of property buyers are golfers and 66% are non-golfers, with the largest number of golfers buying property at Black Mountain Golf Club and Resort, Thailand.

Finally, one of the resorts that has the highest number of international property buyers is Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai. Golfers are clearly attracted to the world-class golf course here, in addition to the luxurious properties.

Split into 13 unique communities, Jumeirah Golf Estates features properties including individually designed villas, apartments and townhouses, which overlook two of the world’s top golf courses.

Golf properties command a premium for numerous reasons, including the high quality of accommodation, tremendous locations, fantastic lifestyle, first-rate amenities and superb golf courses. Owning a golfing property is fast becoming the ideal way to live, for golfers and non-golfers alike. n

M

allorca’s Tramuntana mountain range is said to have a healing, magnetic field that draws creative types to Deià – most notably the writer Robert Graves – on the north-west coast of the largest of the Balearic Islands. The small coastal village is considered one of the prettiest villages on the island, perched in a ravine at the foot of the Teix Mountain, with views of the Mediterranean below.

As one of the highest populated zones of the Serra de Tramuntana, Deià is part of a landscape awarded World Heritage Site status for the way in which nature, culture and traditions merge. Much of the village’s appeal lies in its relaxed vibe and stunning surroundings, amidst impressive views of both sea and mountains.

Sand-coloured stone houses with green shutters cling to the mountainside and a stream tumbles down to Cala Deià, the rocky cove where Robert Graves swam daily.

In summer, a celebrity crowd rubs along with the permanent population. Local artists open their studios to visitors, the rocky landscape draws hikers, and the twists and inclines of the coastal road lure keen cyclists. Foodies are also catered for, with numerous quality restaurants and bars, including Michelin-starred Es Racó d’Es Teix.

It’s easy to see why Deià has such power in attracting royalty, and screen, fashion and music stars.

There’s certainly something magical about Ca L’Abat, high above Deià, perched among terraces filled with olive trees and it’s this sought-after area that S’Era calls home.

breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and a sense of seclusion, yet with easy access to all Deià has to offer. Footpaths within the grounds wind through the well-tended estate, filled with olive trees, wild flowers and two pet donkeys. If so inclined, Deià can be reached on foot, with a shortcut through the famous La Residencia Hotel, the ideal place to stop for a drink.

With six double bedrooms – five in the main house and one self-contained guest apartment with a private terrace, this home is the perfect base for larger families, or those who like to entertain. Each bedroom has Mediterranean-style French doors that open to Juliet balconies, terraces and stunning views. Blending traditional and luxurious décor, the finca offers all of the modern comforts, including a surround sound system, a large outdoor pool, a wine cellar, steam and sauna rooms, flat screen televisions and Nespresso makers. Bright and airy, the living spaces have exposed beams and light-coloured walls, and more French doors give access to the outdoors.

S’Era features an abundance of terraces, all with spectacular sea and mountain views. There is also a classic Spanish courtyard patio with a fountain, which acts as a sheltered sun-trap. Outdoor dining is de rigueur here, with the selection of terrace spaces and a modern Plancha grill, primed for delicious barbecues. Evening sunsets are a highlight, watching sailing boats in the distance and Deià’s church as it illuminates as night falls.

For more information on this property, priced at 10,600,000€ contact Fine & Country Spain +34 952 060 606 spain@fineandcountry.com 20

Life at S’Era is immersed in inimitable style with a rural aspect in unspoilt countryside. The idyllic location and comfortable living style, paired with access to village amenities, outdoor activities, and entertainment, makes it a haven of relaxation suitable for the whole family. n

Retreat to the wilderness P

umphouse Point is a new wilderness retreat in the heart of World Heritage Wilderness in Tasmania, Australia, on the southern hemisphere’s deepest lake. Two industrial buildings constructed as a pumping station in 1940 by Tasmania’s Hydro-Electric Commission have been gently transformed as an intimate retreat, set against a dramatic natural landscape. But the setting is only the beginning.

With 19 rooms in total – 12 rooms in the Pumphouse, six in the Shorehouse – a former sub-station on the water’s edge – and The Retreat, Pumphouse Point defines social stays. Guests who choose to dine on site do so at shared tables, there are open lounges with honesty bars, and visitors pass each other on the short walks that start from the property, sharing sightings of the resident platypus, wallabies, echidnas and wombats. For those seeking solitude, the in-suite larders are stocked with a range of picnic and platter food and freshly baked bread is a phone call away.

One night is simply not enough. n

PROPERTY HIGHLIGHT: TOP NINE

Country living Sometimes it can be good to get away from it all. Lisa Preece finds countryside homes with generous helpings of peace and quiet.

1. Girona, Spain

4. Seville, Spain

This home in Pals, Baix Empordà, Girona was built in 1850 and has been fully renovated since. The property guarantees peace as so much of the surrounding land belongs to the homeowner. This is the perfect property for a winery business, with 140 olive trees and 1,000 Cabernet Sauvignon plants.

This palace-style home, appropriately named The Palacio, is 30 minutes from Seville. It is surrounded by olive groves, sunflowers and cereal crops, making the location ideal for outdoor activities. Steeped in history, the property has been sympathetically restored over the last five years. It has seven bedrooms, and also boasts a heated Moroccan-style swimming pool.

This country home is surrounded by indigenous flora and fauna. The owners built the property over 30 years ago. Back then, it was truly in the countryside, but Midrand has developed around it. Motorsport enthusiasts will find solace here, as the Kyalami Race Track, which has previously hosted Formula One races, can be seen from the five-bedroom property. The property is light and airy, thanks to several rooms with double-height ceilings.

DESIGN SCENE

English country charm Making the right design decisions can be tricky for any home, but particularly one that is listed. Fine & Country Interior Design’s Rebecca Hughes Interiors explains how they approached a unique and challenging design project.

I

t’s every interior designer’s dream to work with a Grade II Listed Georgian stately home. However, it takes lots of experience and knowledge of listed building requirements to do justice to such an incredible property. When Rebecca Hughes, owner of Rebecca Hughes Interiors, first visited a stately home set in the surroundings of a stunning country estate, she knew it would be a labour of love.

way forward was to create boxing for the light fittings to sit on along the walls, designed to mimic the original architectural elements. We extended the bases of the columns and painted them in such a way that they appeared as though they had always been there. The boxing didn’t touch the original fabric of the building, but rather sat alongside it, meaning no damage or alterations impacted the original walls,” says Rebecca.

“We knew from day one that this project would require a great deal of our resources and thinking outside the box”, says Rebecca. “For me, a successful renovation of a historic building always looks to the past whilst moving forward, and although a little restrictive, the listed status didn’t mean we were paralysed in our design suggestions. It’s a myth that it is impossible to make changes to a home with a strict listing status on it, but we certainly did need to make compromises on some of our design choices.”

The project was a constant voyage of discovery for Rebecca Hughes Interiors. When designing the bathrooms, they discovered layers of old wallpaper, rich in history, that revealed fashions through the ages. They also spent time researching the drawing room design and used historic paintings of the original room as a reference for their new scheme.

Their first area to tackle was the hallway and staircase which, despite grandiose proportions, was poorly lit and felt dark and unwelcoming to those coming through the main entrance. The staircase was particularly impressive, with a spectacular ceiling height reaching up to the roof of the building. Designing a lighting scheme with proportions this size required additional assistance from a specialist.

“The listed building status stipulated we couldn’t touch or disrupt the original fabric of the walls,” explains Rebecca.

“Therefore, with the help of John Cullen, a company specialising in lighting design, we mapped out which areas we should highlight and the best method, while staying within the restrictions.”

The hallway is rather unique, with a high-vaulted ceiling and superb bronze statues raised at first-floor level, so it took some careful planning. “We decided the best

26

“When decorating the main rooms, such as the drawing room, we also had to think creatively about how to work around the listed status. Rather than stripping the walls back and repainting them, we built walls in front of the original structure. This meant the dado, picture rails and original wallpaper were not touched in the process, so the room could easily revert to exactly how it was originally intended to be. It also ensures the original plan, form or appearance of the building isn’t lost forever. The need for a fresh and more up-to-date look and feel in these rooms was imperative for our client, who wanted to bring the property sympathetically into the modern day,” explains Rebecca.

Handbagology The Daniela de Montby brand embraces an avant-garde approach to shake the foundations of the conventional handbag world. Previously referred to as ‘head-made handbag art’, its creator, Daniela de Montby, is a former psychologist who likes to apply psychological concepts to her fashion designs. The De-stress line of handbags based on the ‘bubble wrap’ theory, the Picnic and Bowtie handbag lines, and the one-of-a-kind range, have led to her proudest concept so far: handbags whose designs are based entirely upon the individual customer’s personality.

28

Customers are invited for a one-to-one session with the designer, and are asked a series of questions which create a mental image in the artist’s mind that she uniquely reproduces in the workshop, reflecting the individuality of the customer. Stop by the boutique in the heart of Chelsea on the Kings Road for a handbagology session, and have the handbag of your dreams tailored and designed to reflect your unique personality. n All bags are available from www.danielademontbyhandbags.com

The cavernous interior is split into two main compartments, each of which is capable of fitting a large laptop and charger.

A unique handbag from the famous ‘De-stress’ line, this rectangular-fronted, triangular-sided, ultra-light expandable handbag has a unique added feature. Much as popping bubble wrap can be highly therapeutic, the bag’s cross-stitched cells are modelled on this fact, and can be squeezed in order to alleviate stress. This unique piece is made of brightly coloured, lightweight fabric, with tiny, shiny transparent polka dots covering every surface. It has a solid brass clutch-style fastening mechanism and hinge, which opens up to reveal two expandable silk-lined compartments, one of which has a pocket with a zip that can carry a purse, passports or your tickets to the opera. With loop handles for easy carrying, this is a sassy bag for all seasons. £250

Trend setter

Designers and bankers, property developers, artists and aspiring individuals are all fond of this bespoke leather briefcase, which breaks down barriers with its unique styling. Rectangular with a black hued, crocodile-skin textured leather flap and rear and rich purple snake skin textured front, triangular brass buckle and purple leather hand grip with brass hinges, this briefcase has an impressive carrying capacity, capable of fitting laptops, chargers and documents of all sizes. The smaller extra compartment within is ideal for holding valuable items such as wallets, passports or plane tickets.

This is a must have for those who dare to challenge convention. £799

Deep red wonder

In a class all of its own, the Daniela de Montby Wonderbag handbag range is bound to impress even the most demanding handbag connoisseur with its sheer beauty and entirely handcrafted quality. Trapezoid shaped, angular with vertical loop handles, and with an accordion-style expandable width, this elegant bag boasts exquisitely crafted tortoiseshell textured leather in a rich burgundy hue. The centrally positioned zip and voluminous interior make this classical handbag adaptable to any occasion.

Ultra-light despite being handcrafted from the world’s finest quality Italian leather, these bags have graced the hands of royalty and celebrities, and are gaining international acclaim. £470

Classic black and gold

The Classic Black and Gold wonderbag was an instant success, so much so that it appeared in Italian Vogue shortly after its release in the Soho boutique in 2017.

With its elegant trapezoid shape, clean and classical lines, luxuriant jet black Italian leather of the highest quality, and beautifully contrasting golden leather vertical loop handles, regally emblazoned with the de Montby logo in gold on the front of the bag, the only thing more impressive than its uncompromising yet unpretentious beauty is its weight. It is virtually weightless, yet extremely tough and resistant. You’ll be able to carry all your essentials in its spacious compartments accessed by a discreet, centrally located black zip. £320
