Summer is here and with all this glorious weather, our thoughts turn to the outdoors; whether it’s entertaining poolside, quality family time outside, or a luxurious day at the beach, we have you covered.
Our stunning Cover Home, presented by Vince Marotta of Illustrated Properties, is a stylish modern and elegant 16,000+ SF residence, replete with every amenity imaginable for the most discerning tastes. It’s located in the ultra-exclusive Bear’s Club, which boasts one of the finest golf courses in our area, and is close to world class beaches, restaurants, shopping, healthcare and education. Pg. 60
The perfect outdoor space must be able to shift activities fluidly from dining alfresco, family game time, to cocktail hour, and sometimes all at once for a Sunday Fun-day brunch. Renown designer Billy Ceglia sat down with us and offered a wide array of tips and tricks to styling an outdoor space to rival any interior. Pg. 89. Our style pages take over from there with elevated outdoor furniture, games, and accessories to enjoy all year round. Pg. 66.
While many different trends are emerging in the outdoor/patio space one thing everyone seems to agree upon is that teak is chic. This sustainable, durable wood pops up in a stylish way with the collection that Summit Furniture offers in their newly opened location on Palm Beach Island. Pg. 70.
An insider’s secret in the luxury real estate industry is the vital role house stagers play in the marketing of a property. We sat down with three movers and shakers in the staging world to hear first-hand about the craft of perfectly staging a home and the very real difference it can make in selling a house. Pg. 83.
We feature local artist Weatherly Stroh and her incredible work, which evokes the pleasures of the equestrian life. Her beautifully rendered images of horses at run and at rest take us from the stable to the polo field. Her other wildlife paintings, inspired from her travels, are sure to brighten any wall in your home. Pg. 77.
If you have donated a portion of your land for a Conservation Easement, be sure to read p. 104 for important changes, otherwise you could risk losing your charitable deduction. Our Market Report (Pg. 110) and Notable Sales (Pg. 112) keep you up to date on your real estate investment, and our Wealth Advisory (Pg. 102) is a must read for financial planning and your well-being.
If you desire more than a staycation at the beach (Pg. 100), a trip can help shake off the summertime blues. Travel writer and local favorite, Marcy Ferruggia, has everything you need to make a stay on the Turkish Riviera a luxurious adventure. Pg. 98.
From all of us at Luxury Home Magazine, we wish you sunny days and grand adventures this summer! (Be sure to bring your copy of Luxury Home Magazine with you to enjoy while relaxing.)

After 52 Years in the Palm Beaches, sailing transatlantic, navigating the Amazon by canoe, the vision of Babcock Ranch captivated me! I had truly found Mayberry. People were polite, waved, stopped to say hello, children safely biked about, and best of all, residents were happy to be in Babcock Ranch!
“We are the first solar-powered town in America,” Developer Kitson told 60 Minutes. “We have a solar field that’s 150 megawatts. Babcock Ranch is an environmentally friendly, fully sustainable town.”
Kitson continued: “Babcock Ranch was designed to accommodate Florida’s climate and ecosystems with indigenous plants and natural waterways for drainage; it was built 25 to 30 feet above sea level to help mitigate flooding from storm surges. There are sustainable water and sewage systems; all electric and phone lines are buried.
With “Distinctive Neighborhoods” we offer many home designs ideal for young millennials, growing families, empty nesters and retirees alike. Our homes are built to Florida Green Building Coalition standards with designs inspired by historic Florida regional styles”.
Prices start at $300,000 for condominiums & villas, to single family residences ranging from $350,000 to $1.2 million. There are 12 builders on site to bring a range of opportunities to invest, or live in the first chapter of being part of this new hometown.

You’ll find their pieces in elegant hotels and restaurants, private clubs, estates and villas in London, Paris, Monaco, the Caribbean, New York, and Los Angeles, as well as luxury cruise ships and superyachts throughout the world.
As is true with all collections designed for Summit, each piece of furniture is crafted from the highest quality plantation-grown teak, a sustainable resource. All metal fittings are constructed with marine-grade stainless steel and polished for a finished appearance.

The X Collection, created for Summit by Alwy Visschedyk offers a nod to the ‘80s, when everything was oversized. Generously proportioned seating with extra-wide arms provides the ultimate in comfort and usable space.
In his Sundeck Collection for Summit, British yacht and furniture designer John Munford has designed versatile nomadic furniture that complements the sleek superstructures of modern yachts. Designed to be stowable or stackable.
The Picket Collection, designed by Kipp Stewart, is defined by luxurious comfort, offering voluptuously cushioned seating with a warm, receptive look that seems to extend an invitation to lounge and relax. Cushions are inviting, and the comfort is irresistible.

Weatherly Stroh:
WrittenbyDanielMann | PhotographybyDanielFortuneThe equestrian form is one of both power and grace: taut, sinewy muscle matched to amazingly dexterous movement topped with soulful eyes that speak to an inner-being we can only begin to guess at. It is these attributes that artist Weatherly Stroh captures so vividly in her oil painting of majestic steeds.
With sweeping strokes Weatherly is not only able to capture the essence of a horse’s movement – a loping gait around the pen, a modest trot in a field, or a full out gallop in a polo match – but in her attention to detail she also manages to imbue her subjects with personality, a sense of living and being.
A lifetime of horsing around certainly gives Weatherly the background necessary to portraiture these amazing animals. Growing up on a farm in rural Michigan nourished her deep bond to the rhythms of nature and infused her unbridled love of animals. Later she would take her gift for horse whispering and become a nationally ranked horsewoman.
This affinity fuels Weatherly’s ability to connect with her subjects, while many years of experience as a competitive rider augments her intuitive understanding of horses. Emotion and connection woven through every one of her animal-centered pieces.
You could say art is in Weatherly’s blood. When she was 11, her father gave her a Plein Air paint box that had once belonged to her great, great uncle, Gari Melchers, a globally acclaimed American impressionist painter. This gift would fire her lifelong enthusiasm for painting in oil.
Living in horse-obsessed Wellington, Florida, Weatherly is invigorated by the ever-present dressage, show jumping and polo. Her paintings of sport horses are infused with power and motion, capturing the controlled elegance of equine athletes.

WrittenbyDanielMann“All the world’s a stage…” - Shakespeare
An empty house can be hard for potential buyers to visualize as a place they will be comfortable and happy come home to. An empty room can cause confusion and anxiety, the opposite of warm feelings in a future home with loved ones. Master stagers can are an invaluable conduit between a property for sale and a buyer looking to make their purchase; providing style and aesthetically pleasing choices, they help a potential buyer fill in the gaps and imagine a place they want to call their home.
“Funny enough,” Meridith says, “some of my fondest memories of staging have been taking an older, neglected home and making it look the absolute best!”
Meridith Baer started her home staging/Interior design company Meridith Baer Home in 1998 and counts Bob Dylan, Brad Pitt, and Madonna as clients. She knows the power staging can have, “We want home buyers to open the door and go “wow!’ “ Meredith shares, “We want them to fall in love, to feel ‘This is it!’ …This is the way I want to live, this feels like home.”
Jill Gold of House Styling and Staging, which touts over $1 Billion of luxury homes staged, certainly agrees. “I love doing the WOW room,” she says of living rooms, “that’s the room the buyer sees and knows they’re going to buy in 8 seconds. An emotional connection is made, and they buy.”
“Home staging is a proven method that sells a home 20% higher and 83% faster compared to homes that are empty,” Marta Camargo of Palm Beach Staging & Designs asserts. “A vacant home could sit on the market for 2 to 3 times longer than a staged one. As a prospective buyer enters your home, it’s important to have them connect with the home on an emotional level.”
“Sometimes rooms are awkward,” Marta says, “and it’s important to show people how a space can be best utilized. An empty house feels a lot smaller without furniture, so proper placement of furniture gives buyers an example of what is possible.”
“Funny enough,” Meridith says, “some of my fondest memories of staging have been taking an older, neglected home and making it look the absolute best!”
“They (the sellers) are under stress with the situation,” Jill says, “Staging is marketing, we know who the buyer is and we market to them.”
Current trends are natural, neutral colors with pastels making frequent appearances, as well as an over all shift to more eclectic gathering of pieces, blending traditional and antiques with more modern touches. “It’s a mix of a little bit of everything,” Jill offers.
Marta refers to it as ‘the transitional style.’ “The sellers/owners like to have input with, say, a piece of art they like. We want to balance a room out more than if you just go one route. The mix of contemporary with traditional offers a broader appeal. It’s a safe combination as we must target all clients with different tastes. Having a cohesive look that runs throughout an entire home can make it look bigger as well.”
“For years there has been a trend towards a modern look in home staging, but many are now finding the look too predictable and cold.” Meridith asserts, “recently we have more and more requests for an eclectic or transitional decor style, more of a
mix. Although squared sofas and armchairs are still popular, a rounded profile is also in demand these days.”
Jill’s company specializes in Luxury Home Staging but stages all types of homes: condos, town homes, and Seasonal Luxury Guest properties too. “Staging is a booming business in South Florida and the Palm Beaches. Floridians and tourists expect high style when visiting or buying a home.”
Marta has seen an uptick in houses selling along with all her furniture and design choices. “I had two units in the Water Club sell as is with all the staging pieces included. As the Founder and Principal Designer of Palm Beach Staging and Designs I work for myself, but I also work in a partnership with my clients, to turn interior spaces into beautiful homes. I’ve been so fortunate to collaborate with such courteous homeowners and can honestly say I’m working in my dream job.”
“It’s almost an unfair advantage to have a house staged,” comments Jill, “Puts people in such a good mood they’re ready to write a check.”
Meridith has one tip that always serves her well, “We love getting as much input as possible from our clients prior to our installation. That way we can discuss all the client’s preferences and either plan accordingly or discuss our recommendations, which may differ with the client preferences,” she says. But if the seller is living at the property? “We suggest taking down all or most of their family photos and personal mementos...buyers want to picture THEMSELVES living there, not you.”
“I love doing the WOW room,” Jill says of living rooms, “that’s the room the buyer sees and knows they’re going to buy in 8 seconds.”MARTA CAMARGO OF PALM BEACH STAGING

Outdoor Space Expert Advice: Perfecting Your
An interview with Billy Ceglia
ByDanielMannDesigner
PhotographybyBrantleyPhotographyWe recently caught up with Billy, fresh off designing the outdoor space for the highly acclaimed 2023 Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Palm Beach, to ask about his tips and tricks for designing areas outside of the home.
What at is the process you have when designing for an outdoor environment as opposed to indoor, what are the challenges/opportunities?
The initial thought process for designing an outdoor environment is surprisingly similar to designing an indoor space - one must think of functionality, the needs of the client, the level of comfort desired and of course their aesthetic tastes. Where the process differs is in the details: practicality, functionality and durability are key. One of the most important factors to consider when designing an outdoor space are materials - performance fabrics and finishes that can stand up to the environment have come a long way and are the most important decision to be made.
What are some general rules to work with?
Much like designing an interior, we review the space and consider how the client will use the space. We like to create as many multi-purpose areas within an outdoor space as possible to allow for a client to use the space in different ways, whether it’s a space that’s a kid friendly play area during the day that can easily convert into an entertaining space for adults in the evening, or a dining area that can become an alfresco work-from-home spot. We pay attention to the details - making sure there is flexible seating, a place to put things down while enjoying the outdoors, and that there is adequate lighting for evening entertaining.
Are there any trends you’re seeing in outdoor furniture/design?
A big trend in outdoor design is that we are seeing finer details in furniture and accessories, more interesting details, and finishes, especially in outdoor performance fabrics, and an overall idea that outdoor can be luxurious AND practical, with many pieces being able to transition seamlessly from outdoors to indoors.
How would you hide or diminish any unsightly areas, fixtures?
There are so many great products on the market for this - both ready-made and custom - A simple lattice folding screen can hide a million unsightly areas, faux greenery mats are also an easy solution. Potted plants would also be effective in hiding discolorations and add a touch of softness to a patio or terrace.
How often should someone refresh their backyard space?
Like the saying goes, “Buy the best and you’ll only cry once”. Outdoor furniture and furnishings are a huge investment and with proper care, should last for 20 plus years. I’d suggest a 4-year schedule for swapping out soft goods like umbrella canopies, pillows, and high use cushions.
A self-avowed tabletop aficionado and collector of many things, Billy is a graduate of NYSID and began his career with Ralph Lauren before opening his eponymous design firm in 1999. Based in Connecticut, Billy’s projects can be found across the country.

The Splendor of Bodrum: A Luxurious Escape to the Turkish Riviera
Discover the captivating beauty of Bodrum, an enchanting oasis nestled along the Turkish Riviera. This aweinspiring coastal paradise boasts panoramic vistas of the shimmering Aegean Sea, transporting you to a world of unparalleled luxury and adventure.
Known as Halicarnassus of Caria in ancient times, Bodrum was once home to The Mausoleum of Mausolus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In the 15th century the Knights Hospitaller transformed the mausoleum into the Castle of St. Peter, also known as Bodrum Castle. The new structure (which still features some of the ruins in its walls) is the home of the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology as well. Founded in 1962 it hosts the underwater discoveries of ancient shipwrecks in the Aegean Sea.
About a 30 minute drive from the Bodrum Castle is the serene haven of the Mandarin Oriental Bodrum, where you’ll be greeted by the harmonious fusion of nature-inspired contemporary design and lush surroundings. Each room is adorned with bespoke furnishings, luxurious amenities, and soothing earth tones that evoke the serenity of the landscape. Inspired by traditional Turkish architecture and design, the Mandarin Oriental Bodrum stands beyond the fundamentals of pure luxury and minimal grace as it introduces a world of aesthetic allure.
It is not only a sanctuary for rest but also a gateway to a myriad of rejuvenating
experiences. The hotel’s world-class spa offers an array of indulgent treatments that blend ancient healing techniques with modern innovations, leaving you feeling revitalized and ready to embrace the wonders of Bodrum.
Bodrum’s spellbinding landscape irresistibly entices thrill-seekers and explorers. Soar through the skies aboard a seaplane, witnessing the breathtaking beauty of the region from a unique vantage point. Alternatively, charter a luxurious boat and embark on a voyage to unveil the enchanting secrets of neighboring islands and alluring bays.
Yalıkavak Marina, the major luxury and lifestyle destination of Bodrum, is filled with luxury stores, nightlife, and upscale restaurants, becoming a playground of the rich and famous, and is about 25 minutes away. Indulge in a sumptuous meal at Novikov Bodrum located at the marina, an exquisite restaurant that boasts a delectable menu and a glamorous atmosphere that rivals the gleaming yachts.
Bodrum is a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be uncovered, offering a perfect blend of luxury, adventure, and culture. The realm of class, style, and glamour, seamlessly blends the elements of Turkish tradition with contemporary architecture. With its bespoke design, unspoiled natural surroundings and focus on well-being, the Mandarin Oriental Bodrum is a work of art on its own.
It’s Time!Staycation
WrittenbyDanielMannSummertime is everyone’s favorite time of year to grab a good book and head to the beach: warm sand between your toes, the sun on your face, the saltwater breeze coaxing you into the beautiful blue water. It truly is paradise. Everything besides that though? Not so much. Making sure you have every last little thing, packing it up, loading it in the car, toting it out to your final nesting spot, then, at the end of the day, having to repack, lug back, and try to get the sand off everything and out of your car (good luck).
Admittedly, this author prefers not to go to the beach for just that reason. I’m sure you’ve said to yourself, “There’s got to be a better way”… and there certainly is! Oceanside Beach Service provides all the luxury pampering of a private resort club right at your own local beach.
For over 40 years now Mike Novatka and his dedicated team at Oceanside has been doing the heavy lifting and clearing your path to that south Florida ocean paradise oasis. They provide equipment rental of everything: chairs to chaise lounges to umbrellas to cabana hoods and even non-motorized watersport excursions on Singer Island.
From the Hamptons to Palm Beach...Mike’s love of the beach experience started over 44 years ago when he was just a boy in Sag Harbor, NY and increased when he moved to Pensacola at 18. Mike started Oceanside because he saw the opportunity to create a “resort style” experience for those using public beaches. Believing if a customer is treated like a guest all times, they would keep coming back, Mike built up a loyal following that not only came back but followed the burgeoning business from beach to beach as Oceanside grew.
A canny mix of hard-working New Yorker and Florida cabana boy, Mike and Oceanside quickly grew in Palm Beach, Martin, and Broward Counties. Today the company operates concession services at seven beaches, including locations in prime areas that had never had beach services before: Boca Raton and Lake Worth Beach.
A hands-on, feet in the sand, owner operator, Mike stays in constant touch with his employees, as well as visiting with the guests on the beach to make sure that his high standards of beach service is maintained. He sees his company not as a chair provider, but as a service provider, giving patrons the ultimate beach experience. As he says, “Oceanside gives you a sense of a private beach club membership at a fraction of the price.”

A Common Dilemma

Regina specializes in developing personalized strategies that seek to grow and protect assets, while generating a predictable and lifelong income stream during retirement. She has served as President of the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT), a global association of the world’s leading financial services professionals, and currently serves as a Global Ambassador, presenting financial workshops and seminars around the world.
Chances are you or someone you know has been impacted by the emotional and financial consequences of having to care for an adult family member. During the recent pandemic, I had my 97-year-old father living with me for two years, until my siblings and I felt it was safe for him to return home where he would receive adequate nursing care. I feel profoundly fortunate to have had this time with him as we shared so many memorable moments, deep conversations, and meaningful experiences. His stay with me also meant that my daily routine had to adapt to his ever-increasing physical and medical needs. My ability to visit my children, to attend a business conference, or to travel with friends was diminished as I became almost entirely focused on his well-being.
My story is not unique. As the population ages, most of us can expect to either become caregivers or to need one. After all, modern medicine is allowing people to live longer but not necessarily healthier.
One of the most common questions I get from clients is, should I buy long-term care insurance if I have medical insurance? There is a growing misconception that traditional health insurance plans or Medicare will pay for the cost of long-term care. The reality is that these plans only cover costs associated with acute care and not those related to an extended, chronic, or non-rehabilitative care.
For many active adults, the fear of dying too soon has been replaced by the fear of becoming unable to care for themselves. The fact that most families are geographically apart makes it harder for seniors to receive the support from family members. And even when family members live in the same area, the demands of career and raising children make most seniors reliant on home health care and long-term care facilities.
It is estimated that about two-thirds of people ages 65 and older will need some type of long-term care during their lifetime. And according to data from a 2021 report by Genworth, the median cost of care in the U.S. ranges between approximately $60,000 and $108,000.
If you are wealthy enough to fund your long-term care from personal savings and still meet your legacy goals, you probably do not need insurance. If instead you prefer to protect yourself against exhausting savings or impacting your standard of living, insurance might be an option you want to consider. And when you do, you will be able to assess which type is right for you, either a traditional plan which includes skilled nursing care, speech, physical or occupational therapy and home health aide services, or a hybrid plan which combines life insurance with these long-term care benefits.
The concept of preparing for retirement has been a common quest for generations. To that we must add the awareness that retirement planning is not complete unless we address what could become our largest expense after we retire: the cost of long-term care. As we approach the afternoon of our lives, our priorities inevitably shift to those goals that will enhance the quality of our lives and contribute to our pursuit of financial peace of mind.

Safe Harbor
for Your Charitable Deduction
Landowners Nationwide with a Conservation Easement Should Revise Deeds by
July 24th
or Risk Losing Their Charitable Deduction
ByDavidE.Bowers,LL.M.andRachelL.SearsIf you have generously donated a conservation easement as a landowner, it is crucial to be aware that your charitable deduction may be jeopardized if your deed does not incorporate the prescribed safe harbor language by a deadline of July 24, 2023, as mandated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The Treasury Department and the IRS issued Notice 2023-30, which outlines safe harbor deed language for extinguishment and boundary line adjustment clauses. The Notice provides two distinct safe harbor clauses for use in conservation easement deeds, one for extinguishment and another for boundary line adjustments. Failure to include these clauses could potentially disqualify the tax deduction generated by your conservation easement.
By including these safe harbor clauses in your easement deed, you will be deemed to

have met the requirements set forth by the Treasury regulations. However, it is important to note there is a disagreement among the Sixth and Eleventh circuit courts of appeals regarding the validity of the Treasury regulation in question. The Sixth Circuit upheld the validity of the Treasury regulation in 2020, while the Eleventh Circuit deemed it invalid and unenforceable in 2021. This has significance for taxpayers with easements located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Without the support of the Treasury regulation, the IRS may have a harder time challenging the tax treatment of easement donations based on the failure of the deed to include the safe harbor language regarding extinguishment of easements or boundary line adjustments.
Taxpayers in these three states should consult with qualified professionals and/ or their donee organization to undertake actions to make certain their deed is in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The South Florida Luxury Real Estate Market continues to gain momentum as we enter into the summer season. Many sellers in the luxury market between Broward & Palm Beach County are sitting on either cash or lower interest rates in the 3% range therefore, many Sellers are seeking a premium, especially if their property taxes will increase significantly as they move toward their next purchase. As a result, there has been an increase in inventory and days on market.
Out of state buyers mainly from California, Chicago, New York, and New Jersey continue to flock to Florida for various reasons other than the great lifestyle South Florida offers; political reasons, tax purposes, lower crime rates, great weather, and the list goes on. Many buyers who have been on the sidelines monitoring market trends are purchasing and getting out of leases, realizing interest rates and prices are not dropping significantly enough to make a long term difference.
After two very strong years of unprecedented activity in the South Florida real estate market, there are enough comparable sales to justify a slight but steady increase in prices across the board. Many record breaking sales have recorded in 2023 in cities between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, proving South Florida as a whole remains to be a safe and lucrative investment. The properties that are most insulated in today’s market are significant point lot waterfront estates, new construction and turn-key options and other waterfront estates, especially those with impressive views.
