The Harbour Condominiums PORT ARANSAS, TEXAS Slip into something luxurious. Slip into The Harbour Condominiums. The dictionary defines harbor as “a place of security and comfort.” Where The Harbour Condominiums are concerned, we couldn’t agree more. But to that, we would like to add, “carefree luxury living; exclusivity; privacy; convenience; gorgeous views; a waterfront marina location; a boat slip with each unit; solid concrete construction that meets Texas Department of Insurance windstorm requirements,” and so much more that THIS Harbour defies definition! Come see us! Shannon Sheriff 361-236-5543 www.TheHarbourCondos.com

The Kupers -

K

uper Realty Corporation was founded in 1972 by Charles Kuper Sr. and his son Charles Jr. (Charlie) to facilitate the sales and marketing of their personal commercial real estate ventures in North San Antonio. In 1976 Kathleen Kuper joined her husband and son with the intention of establishing the best serviceoriented, residential real estate firm in the city. Kathleen started her real estate career working from her kitchen table. She brought her drive and dedication combined with her gracious personality to the company. The residential sales grew as a result of her success, rapidly expanding the company from six sales associates in 1981 to 145 full time associates in 2010. In its formative days sellers would say, “Kathleen, I want you to sell my house but I do not want it listed in the multiple listing service and don’t put up a sign.” Kathleen delivered time and again on those requests and gained a reputation of being number one in luxury home sales. To this date she can be found in her office almost every day. Providing the best real estate 6

service continues to be her life’s passion.

Charlie served as the company’s active Broker and found time to teach real estate at Trinity University. Because of his dedication to excellence, Kuper Realty Corporation was recognized in 1978 by being named the exclusive affiliate of Sotheby’s Realty for San Antonio. Rick Kuper, Charlie’s brother, bought the company four years ago after 26 years of real estate sales experience. Charlie continues as an active Kuper Ranch Sales agent. Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty is now under the leadership of Rick, who continues to guide the organization with a focus on integrity and extraordinary customer service. Sotheby’s International Realty is a leader in luxury real estate with a network of over 500 of the finest real estate offices around the world making up its network of franchises. Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty has continued to retain that exclusive designation for San Antonio and South Texas. This alliance offers local service and knowledge with a global marketing reach. With the new energy and dedication

of Rick Kuper, the company continues to be guided by its values, integrity and focus on customer service.

The company boasts 145 full time associates in 3 offices with emphasis on Residential, Farm and Ranch and Commercial Real Estate. They represent developments and private properties from San Antonio to the Texas Gulf Coast with gated home sites, resort properties, ranches, to secured high and mid-rise condominiums with golf course access and Country Club memberships. Their sales in 2009 were over $335,000,000 with 14% from Mexican Nationals.

They can provide concierge service to those relocating from Mexico so that these major moves can be made as stress-free as possible.

Discreet service, attention to detail and a warm family atmosphere have been the benchmark of the company.

San Antonio is a great place to visit or call home. Located in the Heart of Texas, San Antonio offers a stable economic climate with an affordable housing market. Housing is as diverse as its cultural past. Downtown, the Historic King William District boasts stately stone homes built by German Settlers, as well as the “Irish Flats.” Today the trend is to convert downtown commercial properties into housing and residential lofts. Throughout downtown there are luxury high-rise condominiums with river and city views. North of the city there are preserved older homes and bedroom communities. As you travel north and northwest there is an abundance of newer constructions built on the rolling, tree covered hills surrounding the city. A common remark made by first time visitors to the city is “It is so green.” From Country

Madisonville, Texas

Windy Hill Ranch Madisonville, Texas Have you thought about owning a ranch that was an easy drive from your Houston home…A place where you could go with your family and enjoy the “quiet” and actually see the stars at night…Have those cattle you’ve always wanted, count the new calves as they are born, help with the spring branding…A place you can ride your horses for hours over beautiful pastures, through creeks and old stands of trees, OR, train in a covered arena facility that is so nice you can have horse events there if you choose?

Then there is the hunting and fishing to enjoy on these almost 3,000 acres. Fish in the many stocked ponds and lakes and enjoy your own white tail deer population during hunting season.

Windy Hill Ranch offers you all of this. An easy drive from Houston to Madisonville, the access to Windy Hill is all paved highway and farm to market roads. If you love horses and love to ride, there will be no finer place than here. The covered arena facility has a 275' x 125' arena, office space, apartments, 16 stalls, holding pens for cattle―it is the finest facility in this part of Texas. There is a separate 10-stall center aisle barn with runs, numerous turn-out areas, lighted cutting pen, walker and much more.

The cattle facilities are the top-of-the-line with hydraulic trim tilt squeeze chute and 10,000# Tru-Test scales. The improved pastures allow you to run a cow/calf or stocker operation. There are four large hay storage barns to house the hay that is grown on the ranch.

At the end of the day, when that good kind of “tiredness” starts to take over, kick back on the porch or by the pool of the comfortable brick home that sits on the hilltop and appreciate the lifestyle!
