Editor’s Letter

By Kathleen Carlin-Russell

“The Great Rearrangement” ... this phrase really resonated with me. It’s the very apropos title of our annual Outlook for Luxury Real Estate story, but it could easily be the current soundtrack of our lives, or the perfect caption for my increasingly messy, catch-all basement. I think we have been in a semi-permanent state of rearrangement since about March 2020, when a certain virus came to town, and have settled in to being fairly good at pivoting, revising plans, and being flexible as things change in a flash.

As for my basement, I may have hit maximum capacity, mentally, and on sheer physical space. I really just need to get down there and start getting rid of stuff. But for luxury real estate, and, to some degree, our lives in general, we seem to be finding a new balance. That is according to our writer extraordinaire, Camilla McLaughlin, who kicks off the first issue of 2022 with our annual Outlook, which includes conversations and insights from top-tier luxury experts. When the pandemic hit, we all watched the market pause and then take off on a run that seemed endless. But, where are things now? And just what should we expect in the coming months? You can find out more, by turning to page 22.

One topic covered by the Outlook is the growth of the secondary-home market, and, for many, that would mean a place on the water. You could tour the stunning $30 million Cape Cod estate gracing our cover, or view any of the homes in our waterfront section, starting on page 46. Hawaii, California, Florida and the Caribbean take center stage here, including a 12,000-square-foot estate in the British Virgin Islands and a 38th-floor penthouse in Los Angeles with breathtaking views of the Pacific.

Until next time....

Seaside Legacy

By Camilla McLaughlin

Legacies don’t just happen; they are cultivated and nurtured. The estate featured on our cover falls into this category. Born of meticulous design, further enhanced with prime finishes and sited on a coveted stretch of coastline, it easily ranks as a New England seaside legacy.

A long, winding driveway lined with specimen plantings and hydrangeas assures privacy while also teasing the stunning landscape on the estate’s 3.66 acres. When you arrive at the house, Nantucket Sound unfolds in front of you. “The views are spectacular. You see Martha’s Vineyard on the horizon, yet it’s just minutes to Osterville village,” says listing agent Paul Grover, a founder of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties. Equally rare is the amount of beachfront, an unprecedented 288 feet.

To create a home comfortable for a couple, but equally desirable for long-term guests, architect Doreve Nicholaeff

masterfully designed two separate residences, a main house and a spacious guesthouse, centered around a large courtyard with a resort-style pool and extensive places for lounging and dining. A gym also connects the two residences. The lower level of the main house is devoted to amenities and fun, including a wine cellar, media room and golf simulator. The overall sensibility might be classic seaside elegance, but it feels like a personal resort fine tuned for family and friends.

“It offers the best in every regard, from location and construction to amenities and lifestyle,” observes Grover. “The systems and technology are all state of the art, including a geothermal HVAC system.” A separate building for staff is deftly concealed amid the landscaping and garage space is extensive.

Legacies can be priceless, but this one is offered at $30 million.

The Great Rearrangement

By Camilla McLaughlin

It’s been a long, strange journey. And it’s not over yet.

Enormous ranches usually take years to change hands, as do most homes above the $50 million benchmark. So, when a Montana ranch trades for $200 million or a $60 million Jackson Hole property sells in weeks with three offers, you know luxury real estate has changed.

After 2020’s brief pause, real estate took off. Many traded city for country, decamping to small towns and resort locales. Agents and brokerages embraced this new normal, moving the transaction, marketing, and even showings online. Since then, the pace of sales and price increases have been unprecedented, setting records and remaking the luxury landscape.

“I think that we’re forever changed because of the pandemic,” says Stephanie Anton, president of the Corcoran Affiliate Network.

In 2021, luxury sales surged with a 35-percent increase in the number of residential transactions for properties priced at $50 million, surpassing 2020’s record, according to data from appraisers Miller Samuels and reported by Bloomberg.

“What we saw in 2020 and well into 2021 was the increase in demand for luxury homes in secondary markets, ranging from the suburbs to small towns and second-home resort destinations. With changes to the way we work to renewed focus on family, friends, health and wellness, we really saw this shine through a luxury real estate lens,” says Michael Altneu, vice president of Global Luxury for Coldwell Banker Real Estate.

“The pandemic has opened the eyes of

those who can truly afford it to the benefits of owning major compounds that combine luxury living and remote workspaces. The types of buyers for $10 million-plus properties have only increased their wealth, in many cases, dramatically, through the stock market and real estate gains during the past two years, and should fuel a healthy luxury market for 2022,” says Bob Hurwitz, founder and CEO of the Hurwitz James Company.

While the effect of record-low interest rates can’t be discounted, the surge in wealth has been a more important catalyst for sales. “The luxury home market is walking hand in hand with the stock market and the S&P 500,” says Diane Hartley, president of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, noting that the hypothetical wealth effect conjured by Alan Greenspan 20 years ago is now real. “If you are invested, you made 20 percent on your money this year. And

The sale of Chartwell in Los Angeles for $150 million at the end of 2019 set

you made 20 percent on your money last year and the year before that,” she says.

It’s no surprise that sales at and above $100 million, once a rarity, took off in 2021. A reported eight properties priced above $100 million changed hands by early December. A number, such as the Ziff estate in Manalapan, were on the market for years.

Luxury Now

“The pandemic fueled lifestyle changes,” observes Christy Budnick, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. “Luxury now means different things to different people. For some, it’s being close to loved ones; for others, it’s a big backyard and lots of room for the kids to play.”

Flight to peace of mind is how Julie Faupel, founder and CEO of REALM, describes location changes ruling the luxury market.

“I think that what we’ve experienced is this incredible dynamic shift in how people define luxury, and what they consider luxury in their lives. And so, coming out of the pandemic, I think it’s all about being able to have choices and options,” she says.

“Many of the trends that we saw emerge in 2021 will continue well into 2022,” says Altneu, echoing insights from Coldwell Banker’s luxury team. “Inventory remains low while demand is at an all-time high. Surging stock markets, cryptocurrency gains and increased savings left affluent buyers flush with cash and have resulted in the luxury sector being taken to a whole new level, and in many cases, redefining luxury as we know it,” he says, underscoring the

In 2021, luxury sales surged with a 35-percent increase in the number of residential transactions for properties priced at $50 million.

the stage for the current surge of $100 millionplus transactions.

dynamics of the new luxury market.

Marci Rossell, chief economist for Luxury Portfolio and Leading RE, calls pivots sparked by the pandemic, The Great Rearrangement. She is optimistic about the outcome. “It takes time for all of those puzzle pieces to be put back together. But what we’re living through is a rearrangement of activities, where I think that once this is all done, people will have made a better match in terms of their job. And in terms of their living arrangements.”

“I think the hybrid work environment is here to stay. And you know, live where you love and love where you live. It only gets stronger. And so, we’re going to continue to see this drive to warmer climates and second-home communities, lifestyle, communities, and quality of life, says Anton.

“As we saw across the U.S in 2021, inventory was down all across the country, yet the demand was at an all-time high. This demand won’t ease, but we anticipate more inventory to become available and the market to find a sense of balance. In the luxury market, we will continue to see the return of buyers to major metropolitan markets, seeking trophy and highend properties. We also anticipate steady activity for resort properties, as more international buyers return to the market and others with primary residences continue to add to their real estate portfolios,” shares Budnick.

Another Wave of Change

Industry experts such as Philip White, president and CEO of Sotheby’s International Realty, expect 2022 to be the year of the international buyer.

“Foreign investment is going to be very strong in the luxury residential market in 2022. The lifting of travel bans for vaccinated overseas buyers to enter the U.S. and personally view properties is a welcome development that will fuel significant investment,” explains Hurwitz. “There is a pent-up demand from wealthy foreigners who view luxury residential property in the U.S. as a sound investment and a safe haven. I do a lot of global marketing and am already receiving a huge increase in inquiries on trophy estate listings from buyers from the UK, Canada, Germany, France, Australia, and I have completed recent sales with several extremely wealthy families from Mexico. In the states, you are going to find the majority of foreign buyers looking to invest in the traditionally popular target luxury markets of New York, Florida and California.”

Expect to see alternative currencies making an impact. Right now, Anton says profits from Crypto and alternative currencies are going

to real estate in the islands, but she believes, “we are going to start to see it in a lot of other places.”

Moving Into Balance

Reports now reflect the first signs of markets transitioning into balance. “I track different markets and I think now things are opening up,” says Meghan Barry, president of LuxuryRealEstate.com. “In some markets, there’s a little bit more inventory. Pricing is not nearly as out of whack with where people think it should be. And I think that there’s a bit more of a regulation. Coming into 2022, I think we’re going to see this kind of increase in inventory and a bit of a righting of the ship.”

Diane Hartley of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing cites its data to illustrate yearover-year changes even though lack of inventory

was a market constraint. In the national market for luxury (the top 10 percent), 11,791 homes sold in November 2020, compared to 15,880 in November 2021, which is a 20-percent increase. Total inventory in November 2020 was 37,000 properties; in 2021, it was 25,000.” For the upscale market, Hartley says taxes and potential tax changes are a more important wildcard than interest rates.

“In 2022, we expect the home to continue to be at the center of the consumer’s life. Flexible working conditions are here to stay for the next three years. The longer we work from home and maintain high productivity rates, the harder it becomes for corporations and employers to justify 40 hours in a sterile office setting and long commutes other than for culture and collaboration. So two to three days per week on a staggered, hot-desking schedule may

New York City

eventually become our common future,” says Mickey Alam Kahn, president of Luxury Portfolio.

“As companies plan for a switch to a hybrid work environment, many buyers are also adjusting their plans for housing. “Many are no longer looking for vacation homes, where they go a few weeks out of the year. They’re looking for a secondary residence, mainly because they can, especially with the hybrid situation. And they are looking for areas that provide more experiences,” says Caroline Huo with Keller Williams Peninsula Estates.

A year ago, the fate of urban residential real estate seemed to hang on balance. This year, interest in cities rebounded and the urban revival is expected to continue along with growing interest in suburbs. According to Luxury Portfolio’s 2022 State of Luxury Real Estate, 77 percent of luxury buyers say their next home

purchase will be within commuting range of a major city, and 55 percent say it will be in one. And rather than a desire for more space, 35 percent of homebuyers say their next purchase will be as an investment or a better place to live, whether it’s a neighborhood (19 percent) or city (10 percent).

This year’s outlook is overshadowed by a number of wild cards — higher interest rates, record low inventories of homes for sale, inflation, supply chain issues. And COVID-19, Omicron and future variants cannot be discounted.

The consensus of 20 economic and housing experts tapped for NAR’s annual outlook anticipates the housing market and broader economy will normalize this year. NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun said, “Though forecasted to rise 4 percent, inflation will

decelerate after hefty gains in 2021, while home price increases are also expected to ease.”

Rossell believes November 2021 was the high point for inflation. As more oil rigs come online, she anticipates more prices will stabilize. And she anticipates that changes in the Chinese economy will mean a reduction in their demand for construction material.

Also, say Alam Kahn and Rossell, geopolitical surprises have the greatest potential to change forecasts. “Any move from China to invade Taiwan or Russia to send troops into Ukraine may destabilize the financial markets and shut down shipping lanes and air travel if Europe and the United States retaliate with military initiatives and economic sanctions,” says Alam Kahn.

To paraphrase the Grateful Dead, it’s been a long, strange journey. And if anything, the luxury outlook shows it’s not over yet.

According to Luxury Portfolio’s 2022 State of Luxury Real Estate, 77 percent of luxury buyers say their next home purchase will be within commuting range of a major city, and 55 percent say it will be in one.

What People Are Saying About

I mail “The High End” to my current and past clients, as well as my sphere of influence. I take advantage of the ability to use photos of my listings on the cover. When my current client saw my home on the Spring issue, he showed it to his neighbor, who had his home listed for a year and did not sell it. My client told his neighbor that he should use me and showed him “The High End” as proof of my superior marketing. I ended up getting the listing for the neighbor’s home.”

Located on a lushly landscaped halfacre parcel, steps from the 7th green of prestigious Serrano Country Club, lies a 9,600-square-foot home well suited to entertaining and accommodating extended families. The classically inspired but thoroughly modern El Dorado Hills residence offers the security and privacy of a gated community, and its seller invested $1.7 million in luxury amenities and technology. “I consider this house a truly exceptional opportunity, thanks to the work the seller has put into the property over the years,” says Coldwell Banker Realty listing agent Pat Seide, who has been selling homes in the Serrano master-planned community for 25 years.

A grand foyer, where a monumental chandelier

hangs from a soaring ceiling and a grand staircase gracefully ascends to upstairs living quarters, creates a statement for guests as they enter through ornamental double doors. The formal living/great room with a formidable stone fireplace and panoramic views of the surrounding greenbelt is another visually stunning space, while a luxuriously appointed office is ideal for remote working. “I think the owner’s retreat is spectacular,” says Seide, who explains, “It offers a large sitting room with dry bar and fireplace, an elegant bath with two huge vanities and a steam shower, plus a closet worthy of Neiman Marcus.”

The manicured golf course is viewed from the front of the home, while towering oaks provide complete privacy, not to mention a calming reprieve

from city living, in the rear. “That location, with neighbors on only one side, makes the home extremely private,” observes Seide, who reports the developers of Serrano dedicated 1,000 acres to open space. Further enhancing a resort-like lifestyle is a backyard featuring a vanishing-edge swimming pool with a spa and Cabo shelf, cascading water and multiple fire features, as well an elegant outdoor kitchen. “It’s an adult house perfect for entertaining, but it’s also a residence for all ages, with features children and grandparents can appreciate,” notes Seide.

The seller, technology entrepreneur Jeff McNaught, transformed the estate into an entertainer’s dream, where inviting common spaces and technology combine to create the perfect ambiance

for any occasion. “You can host 250 people without anybody feeling cramped,” reports McNaught, who explains that even the front yard, with its outdoor fireplace and fountain, accommodates guests. Parties are supported by an expansive chef’s kitchen with travertine floors and a pair of massive granite-clad islands, while a wine room is located off the distinctive dining room. “It’s a very large house, but feels more intimate because it’s broken up into so many versatile spaces,” says Seide.

“With live guards at three entrances, there’s definitely a sense of security here,” says McNaught, who explains that safety and convenience are further enhanced by the Control4 home automation system, a state-of-the-art but user-friendly technology. The remote-managed system automates indoor and outdoor LED lighting and audio throughout the property, and even the home theater. McNaught spent $150,000 on the professionally designed, eight-seat cinema with a sophisticated Dolby Atmos sound system and installed an elevator that ascends from the lower driveway to both floors of living space, a valuable amenity for buyers with aging family members.

“The bar/game room is decked out like a lodge, with a wraparound bar, coffered ceilings with inlaid copper and animal heads mounted on the walls,” reports McNaught of one of his favorite rooms, acknowledging he will miss the diversity of spaces offered in this extraordinary home.

Life on the Water

By Ritika Jain

Maui, Hawaii

Head over to Maui, the second-largest Hawaiian island, to experience the epitome of relaxation, fostered by world-famous beaches and mesmerizing ocean views. The high demand for homes, low inventory levels, and growth of the remote workforce all together yield a thriving luxury market in Hawaii, says Mark Waite, principal broker for the firm Beachology, and one of the top real estate agents in the state.

“Because we have seen such a significant drop in inventory, prices remain very strong, with sellers setting list prices at the high end of the market due to a lack of competition. The luxury market in Maui remains a strong seller’s market with properties selling between 98 percent and 100 percent of asking price,” explains Waite.

As for the price tag, one should expect to

spend at least $15 million for a luxury waterfront home in Maui. Current trends show that buyers are on the lookout for move-in-ready homes that offer space and privacy, which are marked at higher price points going up to $80 million.

The draw of this slice of paradise is clear as day, as it offers year-round sunshine perfect for a blissful indoor-outdoor lifestyle, top-ranked beaches, and opportunities for golfing and watersports, according to Waite.

Lake Oswego, Oregon

From dense greenery to picturesque views, Oregon’s Willamette Valley has it all. With prices ranging from $1.5 million to $38 million, this beautiful area, which includes Portland, Oregon’s famed wine country and the affluent community of

Lake Oswego, boasts a diverse housing selection. Buyers can choose from waterfront homes on the Willamette River, vast equestrian and vineyard properties, hilltop rural estates, and sky-high penthouses in downtown Portland, says Terry Sprague, CEO of LUXE Forbes Global Properties.

Sprague notes that key, desirable features of luxury homes in this area include pools, terraces, docks, boathouses, and access to water and mountain views. It’s clear that the appeal of Lake Oswego, with its 405-acre private lake and proximity to the Willamette River, lies in its natural oasis, but it also possesses a rich, downtown feel that new residents will come to appreciate.

“With an incredible mix of home styles, arts and culture, restaurants and shopping, and recreational and family-friendly activities, Lake

From Lake Tahoe to the Pacific Northwest, to Southern California and out to Hawaii, waterfront in America’s West offers a variety of ways to experience nirvana.

Lake Oswego, Oregon

Waterfront Luxury Experts

Oswego is perhaps the perfect small town,” Sprague asserts. “Residents can enjoy time on the water on the Willamette River or Oswego Lake, hiking the trails in Tryon Creek State Park or golfing at one of two local courses and then enjoy a drink at a local wine bar and a bite to eat at one of downtown’s many celebrated eateries.”

Montecito, California

When thinking about notable coastal areas throughout the country, Southern California takes the cake. One immediately envisions sunny skies, panoramic sunsets, warm breezes, and sparkling blue waters. Randy Solakian of Coldwell Banker Realty has 30 years of experience selling luxury homes in the Montecito and Santa Barbara area, which he says “enjoys a unique combination of world-class sophistication and culture combined with a small coastal town ambiance.”

Another major perk of living in Montecito is its ideal year-round weather, which makes for perfect outdoor living, recreation, and entertaining, explains Solakian. As for market trends, he notes that the pandemic inspired a shift from smaller compounds to larger, highquality estates for long-term living. The lack of inventory across the board has undeniably raised competition, facilitating easy sales above asking price.

In Hawaii, this Wailea Golf Estates new construction sold for $4.2 million.

In Montecito, California, this five-bedroom, six-bath home sold for $10 million.

Luxury estates in Montecito range from $2 million to $50 million. Waterfront homes tend to be pricier, as one recently sold for $45 million in Montecito. Residents can enjoy access to the beach from their front door and well-needed privacy, which Solakian says is optimal for oceanfront buyers.

In Montecito, a languorous coastal lifestyle is accompanied by a robust dining scene and wonderful recreation. “People seem to love the new Miramar Hotel and its bars and restaurants. Locals enjoy Plow and Angel at the San Ysidro Ranch and Lucky’s, Tre Lune and Ca Dario on Coast Village Road, beach walks on Butterfly Beach, the wonderful local Farmer’s Market, and the local golf and tennis clubs.”

Lake Tahoe, California and Nevada

“Lake Tahoe is one of nature’s wonders and the largest Alpine Lake in North America! It’s beauty is unsurpassed and the quality of life doesn’t get any better than Tahoe,” says Shari Chase, president and CEO of Chase International.

The large, azure freshwater lake rests on the California-Nevada border within the snowcapped Sierra Nevada mountain range. Known for its beaches and ski resorts, it stands as a popular vacation destination and recreational hotspot. As for luxury homes in this area, Chase says it’s all about the location.

“The house itself has never been the draw, it’s the location and water amenities that make it very attractive. A pier can add approximately

$1 million to a lakefront. Newer updated homes fly off the shelf.”

The average price of homes in Lake Tahoe sits at around $1.5 million, with lakefront homes typically being the most expensive. Evidently,

proximity to the water is an attractive asset here, supplying residents with bright, blue-tinted views and a connection to nature unlike any other.

“I never take the beauty of this area for granted,” remarks Chase.

Tahoe Beach Club

Encapsulated by snow-topped mountains, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, was still warm and sunny on a Friday afternoon in the fall. In the short drive from the Reno airport to Stateline, Nevada, I couldn't tear my eyes away from the windows for a second. The scenery is simply breathtaking.

And this is why people — young families, twentysomethings, and retired couples alike are flocking to the area. It's no surprise to hear of bidding wars for residences in communities such as Tahoe Beach Club and Clear Creek Tahoe, which hosted Unique Homes in November.

My first stop was Tahoe Beach Club: it boasts 46 (and soon growing to 140-plus) full-ownership lakefront condos directly on the water. The Beach Club offers community-based activities, an on-site restaurant/bar and a private beach. Shayla Hope, Director of Sales at Tahoe Beach Club, described the style of the condos as “relaxed elegance.” They are pre-built for the homeowner, but tailored to their style.

Highlights for me here were exploring the immaculate 3-bedroom, 4-bath hospitality suite in which I stayed, and taking in the private beach with a direct view of the mountains. “I don’t think there’s a better view of the lake than from our beach club,” Hope remarked.

Next I visited Clear Creek Tahoe: it’s situated on more than 2,000 pristine acres of conserved land, with bespoke, standalone homes for sale that are built from the ground up. New owners work with the designer to create something all their own, that also fits into the landscape, said Chase International agent and Clear Creek Director of Sales Georgia Chase. Chase explained that natural, woodsy elements are a requirement for the design of each home. Clear Creek also offers the Twin Pines Lake & Ski House, for lake access just a short distance from the community.

At Clear Creek, I was able to take in all of the majesty on a morning hike with the stellar Clear Creek wellness team led by Jenn Targett, enjoyed my cabin

situated directly on the golf course crafted by legends Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore, and toured the brand new Clubhouse with delicious eats from executive chef Shawn Benson.

Many Tahoe residents love their hiking trails, skiing, golf, and, of course, the lake itself, where the visibility goes as deep as 70 feet, relayed Milward BellBhatti, General Manager and COO at Clear Creek Tahoe. In the summertime, it’s nearly impossible to get a spot on any public beach, making private resorts convenient for soaking in the sun and sand.

“Where Everybody Knows Your Name” is taken to a new level around Tahoe Beach Club and Clear Creek Tahoe — friendly faces are the norm. Both Hope and Bell-Bhatti, who describe their properties as “modern mountains,” also mentioned similar themes at their resorts, saying many times: “you come for the lifestyle.”

Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage

State of Luxury

By Roger Grody

Its emergence as an economic powerhouse and world-class cultural center further enhances demand for the luxury lifestyle that comes naturally in Florida.

Having surpassed New York in population, Florida is now the third largest state in America and its influence is practically unrivaled. Whether the topic is leisure, fashion, politics, or the arts, the Sunshine State is always part of the conversation. Fueled by a resort lifestyle whose currency is surf and sun, Florida is also a dominant force in shaping luxury trends.

State of Play

Florida’s obsession with golf is supported by more courses than any other state, with Palm Beach County proclaiming itself “Florida’s Golf Capital” and, not to be outdone, Naples is promoted as “Golf Capital of the World.”

“Golf plays a pivotal role in the economy of Florida,” reports Tommy Hearden, business development manager of Nicklaus Design, the Jack Nicklaus-led company that creates extraordinary golf experiences throughout Florida and the world. In addition to its importance to tourism, Hearden suggests that golf’s role in residential development — almost as many people dream of living on the links as on the waterfront — represents a major economic impact.

In fact, golf generates at least $10 billion annually to Florida’s economy and the synergy between golf and real estate is on display at the Nicklaus-designed Bear’s Club in Jupiter,

Four Seasons Private Residences Fort Lauderdale

where a home overlooking the 11th fairway is listed for $30 million. Assessing Florida’s status, Hearden insists, “I’d rank Florida right up there with any golfing destination in the world.”

Golf is not the only sport that is part of the state’s DNA. With 1,350 miles of coastline, sailing is irresistible. While much of its waters are too shallow to accommodate superyachts, a luxury clientele and proximity to the Caribbean makes South Florida as significant to the yachting world as the Mediterranean or Dubai. Camper & Nicholsons’ senior yacht broker Fernando Nicholson — a descendent of the founder of the global industry leader — reports unprecedented demand for vessels whose prices rival oceanfront estates.

A combination of supply chain issues and heightened demand has resulted in extremely low inventory, explains the specialist in

superyachts, which can command $500 million for the pinnacle of luxury. “When the doors first began to open after the pandemic, tremendous demand for yachts occurred, as well as a demand for dreams — to sail to those beautiful places,” says Nicholson. Sailing enthusiasts preferring short-term relationships may charter the 400-foot Octopus (sleeping 12 and staffed by 42) for a mere $2.2 million per week.

To accommodate the lifestyle, Florida offers a sophisticated infrastructure of marinas, yacht clubs and gated communities. Recently opened is Miami Beach’s Monaco Yacht Club & Residences, a private 12-slip marina paired with 39 exclusive waterfront residences featuring aesthetics by iconic designer Piero Lissoni. Matthew Barry, managing director of Optimum Development USA, reports, “Our buyers recognize the unparalleled value and

Florida Luxury Experts

convenience of having their boat docked right at their doorstep, combined with first-class services offered by a luxury lifestyle.”

Florida rivals Kentucky as an equestrian paradise, with Triple Crown winners Affirmed and American Pharoah trained in Ocala, a city nicknamed “Horse Capital of the World.” The Village of Wellington, outside Palm Beach, hosts the nation’s most prestigious equestrian competitions, and the U.S. Open Polo Championship takes place nearby. The sport is expensive — the social calendar entails Chanel, Champagne and caviar — and Wellington ranch prices gallop past $25 million.

State of Surf & Sun

In Florida, every stretch of sand has its own personality. Sun worshipers enjoy Clearwater Beach outside Tampa, Siesta Key

Nicklaus Design North Palm Beach Country Club

near Sarasota or Jacksonville’s Atlantic Beach, while surfers head to Cocoa Beach on the Space Coast. South Beach is the place to be seen, while the Keys, an archipelago of real estate strung along the Overseas Highway like pearls, is totally laid-back. Key West, the southernmost point in the continental U.S., is steeped in history, with President Truman, Ernest Hemingway and playwright Tennessee Williams all regulars. Hotels like the La Concha and Casa Marina exude the colorful history of this tiny corner of America, which is proud of its eccentricities.

As prime sites in Greater Miami are picked over, developers seek opportunities in other parts of Florida. Edgardo Defortuna, president and CEO of Fortune International Group, reports his company is securing waterfront sites up the coast and is also exploring Tampa Bay and

Naples. Fortune International’s Ritz-Carlton Residences Pompano Beach, which will feature a 30-story beachfront tower and 12-story tower on the Intracoastal Waterway, reflects this trend.

In Fort Lauderdale, a former mecca for spring breakers, the Four Seasons Private Residences has debuted with a penthouse priced at $15.9 million. Ramzi Achi, principal of Fort Partners, states, “The Four Seasons brand has been known to elevate cities into international destinations…We worked with the best and brightest names to deliver modern oceanfront residences that will forever change the landscape of Fort Lauderdale.”

Resorts such as The Don CeSar on the Gulf Coast, Colony Hotel & Cabana Club in Delray Beach and the National Hotel on South Beach reflect Florida’s diverse history. Tabish Saddiquie, general manager of The Vinoy Renaissance

Florida Luxury Experts

St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club, states, “The Vinoy is a timeless symbol of Old Florida charm with its rich history, Mediterranean Revival design and laid-back sophistication.” Noting its unique blend of Floridian hospitality and modern amenities, he adds, “The Vinoy, beloved by locals and out-of-town guests, is an irreplaceable pillar of St. Petersburg’s downtown waterfront.”

State of Design

Nothing tells the story of Florida’s dynamic growth and audacious attitude more than the ever-changing skyline of Miami. A summer 2022 groundbreaking is scheduled for the 70-story Okan Tower, one of many world-class projects in the pipeline. “Okan Tower will further position Miami’s reputation as a global design and architectural destination,” proclaims Bekir Okan, its Turkish developer. In addition to luxury

Jade Signature Upper Penthouse living room

residences and hotel accommodations, the tulipshaped skyscraper will claim Miami’s highest swimming pool — on the 70th floor.

The Okan Tower’s anticipated status as the city’s tallest building is being challenged by the Waldorf Astoria Miami, expected to soar more than 1,000 feet above Biscayne Bay in 2025. With nine offset-stacked cubes, the 100-story building is the antithesis of the monolithic skyscraper, but characteristic of innovative Uruguayan architect Carlos Ott.

Nobody can better address the transformation of Miami than Fortune International Group’s Edgardo Defortuna, whose projects include the Jade Signature from renowned Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and the Carlos Ott-designed Jade Ocean. “The world is in love with Miami,” states Defortuna, a native of Argentina. He explains, “People from the entire world want to be here, and Miami is evolving into an international city similar to New York and London.”

“Talent brings talent and competition makes it prestigious for those bright minds to design here,” says Defortuna of the convergence of world-renowned architects in Miami. Another local phenomenon is the branding of residential towers, pioneered by hospitality companies, but now attracting other iconic names — Porsche and Aston Martin from the automotive industry, and Armani and Fendi from the fashion world — to convey exclusivity.

State of Change

Florida is in a constant state of change. While city skylines are transformed daily, there is no better example of the state’s reinvention than the polishing of the Emerald Coast. In many ways, the Florida Panhandle is more akin to neighboring Alabama than Miami, but rapid growth is reinventing the region once nicknamed the “Redneck Riviera.” The pandemic brought luxury homebuyers migrating from larger cities, contributing to a robust real estate market.

Affluent travelers to the Panhandle, rebranded as the Emerald Coast, gravitate to The Henderson, which Southern Living magazine named the best resort in the South, and new developments are capitalizing on the extraordinary coastline. Alys Beach is one of several planned communities along Scenic Highway 30A, where sugar-white sand and turquoise waters contribute to a laid-back but fashionable lifestyle. “Alys Beach, along with Seaside and Rosemary Beach, have set the standard for urban planning that is studied across the country,” says Tom Dodson, Alys Beach vice president of sales.

Marieanne Khoury-Vogt, principal of

Khoury & Vogt Architects, which serves as Town Architects for Alys Beach, reports the community’s exterior architecture was inspired by Bermuda, while the homes’ interior courtyards were informed by Spanish Colonial residences in Guatemala. “Restrained in regard to ornamentation, the design concept is quite elegant and sculptural,” states Khoury-Vogt.

The Buccaneers are not the only game in Tampa, as Florida’s largest Gulf Coast city is experiencing a serious renaissance. The transformational $3 billion Water Street complex includes 3,500 housing units, the most opulent being the 37 one-of-a-kind Residences at the Tampa Edition, Marriott’s luxury brand in collaboration with Ian Schrager. The Residences, beginning at $2 million, are raising the bar for luxury design and amenities in the city.

State of Arts

One would expect Miami to have a strong arts scene, which includes well-established institutions like the Pérez Art Museum Miami, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens and the César Pellidesigned Adrienne Arsht Center for the performing arts. More contemporary expressions of cultural clout are reflected by the much-hyped Art Basel and Miami Design District, where celebrity fashion designers, architects and chefs compete for the attention of discriminating consumers.

More underappreciated are the cultural assets found throughout Florida, not only in big cities like Tampa and Jacksonville, but quieter communities as well. Naples, Boca Raton, Winter Park, and Pensacola boast respected art museums and the small Central Florida city of DeLand is home to the African American Museum of the Arts. Community theater and local symphonies are blossoming across the state and the city of Sarasota is revered by scholars for its Midcentury Modern architecture.

The state of Florida’s culinary arts is among the most vibrant and creative in the world, fueled by talent arriving from every corner of the globe. Larry Carrino, president of Brustman Carrino — the prestigious public relations firm represents many of the state’s hottest chefs and restaurants — reports that Florida’s attractiveness as a place to invest and conduct business spills into the food scene.

“In a very short time, Miami has become one of the most exciting cities for dining, and an influx of talented chefs relocated here during the pandemic,” explains Carrino. From a statewide perspective, he observes, “Tampa, Orlando and other areas are following their own paths and finding their own flavors, evolving into unique food scenes rather than carbon copies of other cities.”

A Classic Caribbean Getaway

By Lara Becker

Streets lined with palm trees, private beaches where the water is as blue as the sky — the Caribbean islands are a picture-perfect paradise. For residents and tourists alike, it’s far more than a vacation home. The islands offer a laid-back way of life that is appealing to all, known for delectable cultural eats and friendly faces everywhere you go.

Nicola Delapenha is a Coldwell Banker Jamaica Realty Luxury Home Specialist for Montego Bay and the North Coast. She told Unique Homes that the housing market in Jamaica is as vibrant as ever, even amidst pandemic times.

“Many luxury villas are expecting their best year ever and interest in those for sale is also high,” she notes. And, she says, there’s still plenty to go around. “Relative to the size of our market, I would not say that inventory is low in

their favorite aspects of their beloved hometowns with Unique Homes.

the high-end market.”

Delapenha says that Jamaica is the perfect choice for your next destination, especially if you’re looking for a simple travel experience on the way there. There are direct flights into Montego Bay from several major cities, making your journey to the Caribbean convenient and easy.

But, most importantly, she notes, “Jamaica is internationally known for its music, food and the warmth of its people. This, combined with the variety that our landscape offers with both beautiful beaches and mountains, makes us a unique destination that is highly desirable.”

Smaller homes in a gated community in Jamaica can start around $1.5 million, whereas a single-family home can run from $2.5 million to $3 million.

In another part of the ocean, Chris Smith

is the Managing Broker at Coldwell Banker Real Estate BVI in the British Virgin Islands. He describes his part of the Caribbean as a hidden gem that offers a tranquil experience for you and your loved ones.

“Because The BVI is relatively off the beaten track and harder to get to (no direct flights from the U.S. or Europe), it remains very much unspoilt and not overdeveloped,” Smith says. “Even in the high season, most beaches only have a handful of people on them.”

Smith calls the sailing waters in BVI the best in the world, coupled with beautiful island beaches and bars to keep you busy. Restaurant locales are a quick sail away in either direction of the islands.

Regarding the housing market, he says there have been recent environmental factors impacting inventory: due to Hurricanes Irma and

Hailing from Jamaica, the British Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas, three real estate experts shared

Goldeneye in Oracabessa, St. Mary, Jamaica

Maria in 2017, 75 percent of The BVI housing stock was destroyed or damaged. But in the years since, there has been much trading and rebuilding, and in 2021, the luxury market has been incredibly lucrative with one of the best years in history.

And it’s no surprise to Smith, who notes, “The BVIs truly are Nature’s Little Secret.” Beachfront views from a luxury location in BVI can run from $10 million to $20 million. If you’re just looking for beach views outside of a resort setting, the price point can stay closer to $4 million.

Another tropical spot that’s been booming is the Bahamas. Heather Lightbourn Peterson is a Broker/Global Luxury Specialist at Coldwell Banker Lightbourn Realty, and says that COVID-19 lockdowns actually created a spike in luxury sales throughout 2021, even in typically slower months.

“Buyers who could afford it were seeking a luxury waterfront retreat with all the bells and whistles, where they can reside full time and ride out the pandemic,” Peterson says.

Bahamas price points are more affordable on lesser-inhabited islands, where a waterfront home can sell for around $1 million, but as you go further inland to places such as Nassau, prices can start closer to $3 million. The higher price points reside in areas such as Harbour Island, where you could be looking at a starting price closer to $30 million for luxury beachfront estates.

Peterson notes the benefits of Bahamas life: “What’s most attractive about ownership here is the ability to island hop. Not only do we have many international flights daily, but domestic travel is easy, whether by boat, ferry or small planes.”

Peterson, Smith and Delapenha agree that elegance and privacy can be easily found amongst the Caribbean islands.

“My favorite spot to spend time is on Rose Island, which is an off-the-grid island located only minutes away from Nassau,” Peterson says. “I spend the day there with my family any chance I can and it’s the only time I truly feel relaxed.”

REALM SPOTLIGHTS TRENDS FOR 2022

REALM, the globally collaborative real estate platform that combines real-time data with human experience and networking, recently completed a comprehensive membership Economic Forecast Survey for 2022.

“REALM members represent the most elite luxury real estate professionals in the industry, with a significant number of members included on the REAL Trends/Wall Street Journal’s The Thousand, which ranks the top producers in the U.S,” says Julie Faupel, REALM founder, and Chief Executive Officer. Many REALM members report 2021 as their strongest year in the industry ever. Here are some of the questions to which REALM members responded.

Do you predict that the “great migration” of luxury buyers moving that we saw early in the pandemic will continue in 2022 and why?

As reported in REALM and WealthX’s 2021 report, urban areas shut down when the pandemic became reality resulting in the “great real estate migration” to the suburbs and beyond. Buyers sought larger properties with outdoor amenities where multi-generations could shelter safely. Close to 85 percent of respondents expect 2022 to continue the “great migration.”

Which factors will drive sales of homes to your market?

According to 71 percent of REALM

members, an increased desire for a second home will drive sales in their respective markets. Buyers and sellers ranked relocating second, garnering 52 percent of responses, while 44 percent of members looked to millennial buyers to fuel sales.

What top luxury amenities will your luxury buyers look for in 2022?

Fully appointed outdoor chef’s kitchens became even bigger since the pandemic began as Sunday-night-at-home suppers became daily rituals. With climate change top of mind, environmentally friendly green living and sustainability can make or break a deal. “People want more acreage. For second homes, it’s about land, golf, family compounds, sustainable living, and wide-open spaces,” notes John Eric

of Compass on Arlington, Virginia.

“Acreage, views, access to lifestyle amenities like skiing, hiking, fishing, horse and golf are what people want today. They are also driven to “private residence clubs with many amenities so that they can have all the lifestyle benefits in the ‘safety’ of their campus,” explains Faupel.

What key design elements will your luxury buyers seek in 2022?

It’s no surprise as people have come to value home as their most prized asset that elements to enjoy that home with family and friends ranks highly. Think swimming pools, expansive home gyms with sauna and steam, and luxury home theaters with state-of-the-art technology.

Golf is one of the lifestyle amenities identified as in demand.

WELCOME TO

Spring. A time of reawakening, new life, and rediscovering the outdoors. This issue of Keller Williams Luxury is largely devoted to the natural world and the emotions it evokes. It begins with the front cover, where you see a stunning Scottsdale, Arizona listing in the world-renowned golf and tennis community of Desert Mountain. Overlooking the 3rd hole of the Chiricahua Golf Course, views of the mountains, sunrises, sunsets and the city are integral to the beauty and value of the property.

The impact of designing properties to feature natural views is described on page 46 in “Mother Nature As Art,” where Kristen Ordonez details views as the way into a buyer’s heart. “Whether it is a lush, green forest that evolves with the seasons or the roar of crashing waves along a pristine beach, the perfect view is how many buyers come to find their perfect match in a home,” she writes.

Getting away from home, new travel options provide opportunities to be closer to wilderness without sacrificing luxury. In the fast-growing specialty of “glamping,” occupants of plush tents may enjoy fine art, room service and marble bathrooms, while guests at dude ranches can partake of world-class cuisine and opulent spas. Learn more about uniting the experiences of nature and travel around the world in “Glamour at the Campsite” on page 10.

In “Spring Greening” and “Secrets of the Garden” (pages 37 and 42), we look at how eco-friendly building trends are adding efficiencies inside and out, and how gardens can transform properties — and attitudes — whether consisting of several country acres or just a small urban patio. Experts in these respective fields talked to Keller Williams Luxury about sustainability in the built and natural environments and why prioritizing them for your properties is an investment in lifestyle and the environment.

Also interesting — but not new — is the Keller Williams Realty commitment to our core values. In “Putting Your Trust in Us” (page 34), we invite you to learn how our belief system drives us to better serve you and the world.

Our agents are representing an amazing array of luxury properties ready to make you Spring into action. In addition to all of these stories and more, please enjoy a selection of the finest homes available this season within.

THE GREAT ESCAPE

By Roger Grody

Inthe luxury market, second, third and fourth homes have been de rigueur for decades, but the concept of having a place to escape (and ultimately retire) to, has become more broadly popular in the past two years. Recognizing they can work from anywhere — one’s presence is no longer always expected at company headquarters Monday through Friday — buyers choose to live in places they find emotionally enriching, often a bit closer to nature than their primary residences.

Luxury resort destinations — ski meccas such as Lake Placid in New York’s Adirondack Mountains, Aspen, Colorado or Park City, Utah in the Rockies, and coastal communities like Palm Beach, Florida or Malibu, California — are more popular than ever. Most resort communities are experiencing booming real estate markets driven by city dwellers’ desire to spend more time in scenic, laid-back environments. Every market possesses its own unique attributes, and five premier Keller Williams luxury agents report on the specific dynamics of their regions.

Overall, 5.0 percent of existing home sales in 2019 were identified as for vacation purposes, a figure that climbed to 5.5 percent in 2020 according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). In the first four months of 2021 that were examined by the organization, the figure rose to 6.7 percent and by April 2021, it had skyrocketed to 8.0 percent. The NAR study indicates that

53 percent of the 2021 sales were all-cash transactions, and that property values in vacationoriented U.S. counties were rising at a faster pace than those in non-vacation counties.

Northeast

The Northeast offers a number of renowned ski resorts, most of which are reemerging as year-round destinations and therefore increasingly attractive to second-home buyers. New Yorkers are now more likely to acquire second or third homes in Adirondack communities or the rural Hudson River Valley to escape on weekends or holidays. Bostonians are flocking to iconic resort destinations like Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Cod at greater numbers than ever.

Tracie Hall, a Keller Williams luxury agent serving the historic Newport, Rhode Island, area, famous for its Gilded Age mansions and sailing culture, says the pandemic was a catalyst for

In the post-pandemic lifestyle, second homes are increasingly important for both work and leisure.

unprecedented sales activity. “Newport is a huge second-home market, and, in the last two years, families who would ordinarily take European vacations purchased vacation homes instead,” explains Hall.

The agent reveals that approximately 85 percent of the 20 highest sales in the last three months (including a $30 million estate) were cash transactions. Hall, who sold the 2021 HGTV Dream Home for more than $400,000 above asking price, reports that most demand for second and third homes is traditionally from New York and Massachusetts, along with some international interest.

“It’s the history, architecture, location by the sea, and the walkability,” states Hall of the enduring appeal of Newport, who notes the community is an attractive place for retirees. She reports the chaotic market conditions have stabilized, with some sellers even lowering prices,

but Hall is optimistic about the new year. “As long as there are buyers out there, I think the luxury market will be robust in 2022,” she says.

South

Second-home locations in the South range from Great Smoky Mountain resorts to coastal cities like Myrtle Beach or Hilton Head, South Carolina, and practically the entire state of Florida. Many buyers are from the Northeast or Midwest, anxious to soak up some sun when their hometowns are snowed in.

Miami used to be the natural landing spot in Florida, especially for New Yorkers who have long enjoyed a special relationship with the destination, as well as points north such as Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and Palm Beach. Florida’s Lee County, home to Fort Myers on the Gulf Coast, is listed in the NAR report as having the most vacation homes of any county in the U.S., well ahead of second-place Barnstable County (Cape Cod), Massachusetts.

Linda and Louis Erice, Keller Williams luxury agents in Greater Miami, report an unprecedentedly vibrant luxury market, particularly for single-family homes, and indicate extremely limited inventory. “In 2005-2006, we experienced these conditions in the overall market, but this time around the boom has been in luxury properties,” explains Linda, who notes

the price per square foot for single-family homes in desirable communities like Coral Gables and Coconut Grove has nearly doubled in three years. The Erices are upbeat about 2022, anticipating appreciation of 10 to 20 percent, because new development simply cannot keep pace with the region’s growth and return of international investors. Linda explains, “During the pandemic, travel from South and Central America was restricted, but now those buyers are coming back,” with her husband adding, “There’s also a huge influx of new European investment.” In 2020, buyers were primarily escaping big Northeastern cities, but Linda and Louis Erice report they are now accommodating Californians, attracted by relatively favorable real estate values and lower taxes.

Southwest

The Southwest is gaining traction as a luxury second-home location, driven by the rapidly growing metropolitan areas of Las Vegas and Phoenix. Both are enormously popular with Californians who view luxury real estate in these cities as a bargain relative to the Golden State, and some are switching residency for tax purposes. Proximity to the glamour of the Strip is attractive to Las Vegas investors, while the resort lifestyle of Scottsdale and Paradise Valley draws luxury buyers to Phoenix.

Tracie Hall

Rhode Island-area agent Tracie Hall recently sold this property, an HGTV Dream Home, for more than $400,000 above asking price, indicative of robust demand.

Greg Kilroy and Ellen Frankhanel-Kilroy, Keller Williams luxury agents in Scottsdale, generally see about 40 percent of luxury home purchases for secondary or tertiary residences, but observe that figure is increasing, partially due to young retirees or families planning ahead for retirement. “People decided not to wait to fulfill their dreams,” says Frankhanel-Kilroy of an attitude amplified by the pandemic.

“Our market tends to be driven by low supply rather than high demand,” says Greg Kilroy, who indicates just 1.3 months of supply is currently available for the $1.0-$1.5 million entry point to luxury. “Decisions are now about opportunity, whereas last year they were more about fear,” he suggests, noting pandemic-weary buyers are still insisting on enough space to accommodate friends and families during any future crises. Second-home buyers in Scottsdale are primarily from the chilly Midwest, but interest from California and even Florida is increasing, reports the couple.

The Rockies

The phenomenon of America’s great ski resorts being transformed into year-round recreational destinations is no more apparent than in the Rocky Mountain region, where iconic resort towns like Aspen, Colorado, Park City, Utah and Jackson Hole, Wyoming are welcoming new visitors in the summer. Activities in what used to be considered the “off season” (e.g., whitewater rafting, hiking, fly fishing), not only attract tourists, but make vacation home escapes as attractive in July as in January.

Jennifer Chambers, a Keller Williams luxury agent serving Breckenridge, Colorado, states her community has a unique personality and therefore does not directly compete with other ski resorts in the state. While people in Aspen are conspicuous about their spending, Chambers says of Breckenridge, “It’s very laidback, even for people who have great wealth.” With the community becoming almost as popular in the summertime as in winter, the agent states, “People come here as much for the mountain biking as for the skiing.”

Chambers reports extremely low inventory, with Summit County listings recently dwindling to 105 properties when there are typically about 600. “It’s a strong market and a lot of people are buying second, third and fourth homes for cash,” she says, noting the threshold for luxury in Breckenridge is about $1.6 million. While Aspen

is popular with buyers from New York and Los Angeles, Chambers reports the greatest numbers of out-of-state buyers in Breckenridge are from Texas and Florida.

West Coast

The Pacific Coast, particularly Mediterranean-like California, will always attract vacation home buyers, and the communities of Beverly Hills, Malibu and Montecito are of particular interest to high-net-worth investors in Southern California, while St. Helena and Pebble Beach are magnets for uber-affluent buyers up north.

Specializing in the idyllic enclaves of Santa Barbara and Montecito, just a couple hours north of Los Angeles, veteran Keller Williams luxury agent Steve Epstein reports the current market for high-end second homes is intense. Inventory in this region referred to as the California Riviera is only about 25-35 percent of what it should be, he explains.

“Looking ahead, it’s hard to imagine this is sustainable, but I don’t see anything on the horizon that will slow it down,” says Epstein, who suggests higher interest rates are unlikely to be a factor for buyers of multimillion-dollar luxury properties, most of which are cash transactions.

Epstein reports his market used to be more weather-influenced, but is now dominated by

buyers migrating from densely populated areas. “What has really driven inventory down is people realizing they don’t need to show up at a high-rise in San Francisco or Chicago every day,” says the agent. He reports luxury properties that are not purchased by locals are most likely snapped up as vacation homes by wealthy buyers from the Bay Area, L.A. or Orange County. Nonstop air service into Santa Barbara from Chicago, Dallas and Denver has further enhanced the appeal of the region.

A Shared Experience

The escape to second homes is so prevalent that new, innovative ways of investing have emerged. Addressing the reality that second and third homes sit empty for the majority of the year, the website Pacaso offers fractionalized ownership of quality properties. Listings — all homes are fully furnished by professional interior designers — range from Midcentury Modern Palm Springs getaways to lavish estates in Aspen or Malibu.

Pacaso is simply tapping into the demand. The company is expanding internationally, recently introducing listings in the coastal resort of Marbella, Spain. Pacaso co-founder and CEO Austin Allison, reports, “To those who’ve always dreamed of owning a home in the Costa del Sol, now is your chance, and we’re just getting started.”

Glamour at the Campsite

By Roger Grody

For nature lovers who appreciate modern plumbing and sophisticated cuisine, “glamping” is a new twist on luxury tourism.

The concept of luxury travel is typically associated with suites at acclaimed hotels and meals at Michelin-starred restaurants. Demand for those amenities has hardly diminished, but new travel options provide opportunities to be closer to wilderness without sacrificing luxury. In the fast-growing specialty of “glamping,” occupants of plush tents may enjoy fine art, room service and marble bathrooms, while guests at dude ranches can partake of world-class cuisine and opulent spas.

A variety of websites and tour companies now dedicate considerable space and energy to this burgeoning approach to travel, an offshoot of the more all-encompassing trend of ecotourism. The niche of glamping, however, tends to focus on higher-end accommodations that attract travelers who never would have considered roughing it in the middle of a forest or desert.

Kristen Kellogg, founder of Border Free Media and a journalist who has written extensively on the trend, states, “Glamping provides a combination of comfortability and accessibility, appealing to people who like to be outside, but also want a nice bed, possibly a hot tub in

the evening and a really good meal.” Kellogg’s reporting indicates a broad demographic appeal of glamping, from millennials to seniors, the kind of “soft adventurers” who enjoy morning hikes, but are not into mountain climbing.

One of the antecedents of glamping was in the safari excursion business, with apprehensive tourists lured into the African bush by luxurious tents with all the amenities of a big-city hotel. Kensington Tours, an upmarket travel firm, specializes in many accommodations that might be considered glamping, including safari campsites in the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Masai Mara across the border in Kenya.

Marc Sison, Middle East and Africa director at Kensington Tours, confirms glamping is hardly a new concept in Africa, with early safari guides such as Chas Cottar pioneering such accommodations in the 1920s. The fourthgeneration leadership of Cottar’s Safaris continues to host guests in the Masai Mara, maintaining the traditional look and feel of the family’s original camps while reimagining the adventure as a luxurious experience, reports Sison.

“This style of travel is becoming more

popular because you can feel Africa when you’re in a tented camp,” says Sison, explaining that guests hear the animals at night, hear the wind howl and even get a little dust in their tents. “This gives them a physical connection to the place they’re visiting and really makes traveling transformational,” he adds. Kensington partners with luxury eco-resorts like the Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge in South Africa, which provides butler service and a private pool that elephants occasionally drink from.

The Resort at Paws Up is located on a pristine ranch in Montana, but only 35 miles from Missoula International Airport, one of many attributes that makes this 37,000-acre slice of Big Sky Country approachable to travelers accustomed to cosmopolitan hotels. “Since we were the originators of glamping — we even coined the term right around when we opened Paws Up — people will hopefully continue to want to experience it where it all started,” comments the property’s co-owner/managing director Laurence Lipson.

Lipson states, “More and more people want to experience nature and be able to wake up in the morning on the bank of a river or with a view of a mountain, but then have the convenience and amenities of a luxury hotel room at their beck and call.” He adds, “Glamping’s popularity has a lot to do with the desire to be at one with nature and still be able to enjoy ‘the finer things in life’ with little or no discomfort.”

The most luxurious accommodations at Paws Up are 10 rustically elegant, 3,250-squarefoot Wilderness Estates featuring soaring ceilings, a stone-and-timber fireplace, chef’s kitchen, and three suites with luxurious bathrooms. “Now we also offer glamping of sorts at the green o, which is an adults-only resort,” reports Lipson of 12 architecturally distinctive homes surrounded by natural beauty. His personal favorite is the nostalgic Tree Haus, a contemporary forest retreat with floor-to-ceiling windows, suspended in the trees 23 feet above ground.

Camp Long Creek is a glamping property at Big Cedar Lodge in the picturesque Ozark Mountains of Missouri. The 74 accommodations at Camp Long Creek range from spacious family-oriented cabins to surprisingly luxurious, temperature-controlled glamping tents with kingsize beds and rustic-chic chandeliers, which spill out onto lakeview terraces. Modern bathrooms, daily housekeeping and Wi-Fi — the kinds of perks that are nonexistent at traditional campsites

— are provided at Camp Long Creek and guests enjoy amenities like an infinity-edge pool, marina and dog park. The resources of the entire Big Cedar Lodge resort, a 4,600-acre lakeside complex with a spa, fine dining and impressive collection of golf courses designed by the likes of Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, are also accessible. Additionally, Branson, Missouri, the lively entertainment capital of the Ozarks, is just minutes away.

experience the natural beauty of the Ozarks,” states Glaser, whose company expanded its glamping accommodations during the pandemic to meet demand. “With roaring campfires, stargazing and views overlooking glistening Table Rock Lake, Camp Long Creek balances the nostalgia of camping with a touch of luxury,” she explains.

On British Columbia’s relatively untouched Vancouver Island is Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, where the guest experience includes memorable

“Over the past few years, we’ve seen a significant increase in guests seeking outdoor experiences, secluded accommodations and destinations where they can unplug from the stresses of daily life,” reports Janet Glaser, Big Cedar Lodge’s senior public relations manager. “Our goal is to create a special place that allows guests to reconnect with the great outdoors and

up-close and personal encounters with black bears, bald eagles and humpback whales. Arriving by floatplane or boat, guests are accommodated in 25 luxury tents furnished with a decorator’s hand — not so much different than at a fine hotel in nearby Vancouver or Seattle — but with a frontrow seat to the wilderness. Dining at Clayoquot Lodge involves exquisitely presented, chef-created

Clayoquot is owned by Baillie Lodges, an Australia-based, eco-conscious hospitality group whose mission is to connect guests to the spectacular natural settings in which the company’s properties are located. In addition to Vancouver Island, its resorts include Silky Oaks Lodge in Daintree Rainforest, on the banks of Australia’s Mossman River. There, guests enjoy

incorporating artisanal regional ingredients.

James Baillie, founder of Baillie Lodges, reports he and wife Hayley are very selective in choosing the properties that comprise the company’s growing portfolio, noting each one is set in a destination with environmental and/ or cultural significance. “Many of the lodges, including Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, Silky Oaks Lodge and Longitude 131º, are located in, or adjacent to UNESCO World Heritage-

lodges, furnished with work from local designers and artists, also expose guests to refined cuisine crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients and the cultural heritage of the area.

Adjoining Acadia National Park on the rugged coast of Maine, Terramor Outdoor Resort showcases the wild side of New England without sacrificing the amenities of a charming bed and breakfast. Terramor is the first glamping resort from Kampgrounds of America (KOA), which operates more than 500 traditional campgrounds across the country.

“We’ve been keeping our pulse on the glamping trend for many years,” says Terramor chief operating officer Whitney Scott, referencing data from KOA’s annual North American Camping Report. “One of the major findings we’ve continued to observe is that leisure travelers seek outdoor experiences with services and amenities similar to upscale hotels or resorts,” reports Scott, who says KOA is committed to expanding its investment in glamping.

Scott reports Terramor has strong appeal to couples and adult groups, while approximately 15 percent of guests take advantage of the resort’s dog-friendly policies. “Families, couples and groups alike often spend the day exploring Acadia National Park or Bar Harbor before coming back to Terramor for dinner and drinks at our Lodge and quality time together around the campfire,” she says.

“Bringing luxury to the wilderness offers us the chance to incorporate sensitive contemporary architecture, which blends seamlessly with the landscape,” explains Baillie. His wilderness

Scott believes the pandemic accelerated the growth of glamping, an outdoor activity widely perceived as safe. “Glamping allows travelers to immerse themselves in nature without sacrificing services and amenities like en suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi, comfortable beds, and onsite food and beverages,” she says, explaining many Terramor guests are travelers who typically stay at hotels. Terramor offers a variety of tents, some sleeping up to five guests (ideal for families), all with modern plumbing and electricity. The Lodge at the heart of the resort offers dining and conciergelike services for scheduling offsite events or tours, and recommendations on hiking or biking trails. Glamping has spawned entire companies capitalizing on the trend. Under Canvas is a chain of “glampsites” at iconic National Parks such as Yellowstone, Zion and Grand Canyon. Their tents may not be as lavish as Paws Up or Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, but with hotel-style beds, private bathrooms and daily housekeeping services, they represent a vast improvement over standard-issue camping tents and sleeping bags.

Putting Your Trust in Us

By Camilla McLaughlin

When Jeff Yarbrough joined Keller Williams Beverly Hills a little over 15 years ago, one of the first things that captured his attention was a sign prominently displayed in a hallway at his office. He recalls what it said:

Keller Williams Realty Belief System

• WIN-WIN: or no deal

• INTEGRITY: do the right thing

• CUSTOMERS: always come first

• COMMITMENT: in all things

• COMMUNICATION: seek first to understand

• CREATIVITY: ideas before results

• TEAMWORK: together everyone achieves more

• TRUST: starts with honesty

• EQUITY: opportunities for all

• SUCCESS: results come through people

“I thought, ‘Wow,’ you know? You see this before you see a whiteboard full of escrows or recent sales. Culture and community before numbers. I had not seen that where I was before. It was inspiring,” says Yarbrough.

Keller Williams Realty’s core values drive its agents to operate with integrity.

JEFF YARBROUGH Keller Williams Beverly Hills

Nothing better illustrates how integral values are at Keller Williams. Rather than simply feel-good jargon, this corporate belief system, dubbed WI4C2TES, forms the bedrock of the business for the company and individual agents. “Ethics guide everything we do. Not a day goes by where ‘doing the right thing’ doesn’t come into the conversation with a team member or client,” Yarbrough adds.

“Our tribe’s culture is dramatically impacted by our ethics. They are constantly looking for ways to create memorable experiences for our clients and each other,” says Charlene Tongg, Keller Williams Honolulu.

“Seeking to understand — on both sides of a deal — is key to my short and long-term success

in real estate. I am a big listener. I gain ground in a transaction by letting others be heard. Getting to the truth usually is just a few simple questions away. Once you really know where someone is, you can find the best way to guide them to where they want to be,” explains Yarbrough.

“You cannot talk about Keller Williams culture without talking about ethics, because ethics are embedded into the culture. It is a belief system that comes from top-down, bottomup. This is who we believe we are, how we should function as a company, how we’re going to treat you, how we’re going to treat each other, and how we treat our clients,” says Caroline Huo, Keller Williams Peninsula Estates, San Francisco. As often happens with seasoned agents, the value system first piqued Huo’s interest in the company.

“Culture comes first and drives everything else,” says Mark Benson, with Keller Williams Realty in Naples, Florida. “We’re not just another company. Culture is a big part of why someone (agent, buyer, seller) chooses Keller Williams.”

Keepers of the Culture

“There is a pride of association. We are cognizant of having a reputation to maintain. How we respond and perform reflects upon everyone else in our company,” says Benson.

“We believe in success through people. If someone in the office wins, we all win. That’s part of the profit-sharing model,” says Cynthia Pierce, Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Perimeter, referring to the unique Keller Williams model in which profits are shared with agents who help the company grow. “When someone has a success, we all succeed,” says Pierce.

This sense of cooperation is pervasive and enhances the experience and outcome for customers and clients. “I don’t know any other company that encourages as much cooperation. I like to think that all agents, no matter what company they are with, are cooperative. But at Keller Williams, there is more interest and focus on sharing education and information,” shares Kristin Daly, Keller Williams Realty, Philadelphia.

Trust & Teamwork

“Together, everyone achieves more. Trust — everything starts with honesty. If we’re honest with our clients, they are going to see that we’re genuine. When we are genuine, they are going to trust us. Then we can do more together,” explains Huo.

“As a profit-sharing company, it benefits the agent when their peers succeed and we look

for ways to help each other be as successful as possible,” explains Benson. “Clients share their confidential information and know they will be respected. For us, being their trusted advisors is a privilege. Trust also implies that the client can feel confident that their agent has the expertise and commitment to provide the level and scope of services the client expects.”

Commitment to Customers and Clients

“Luxury clients are discerning,” shares Pierce. “Levels of financial sophistication might vary, but they all expect professionalism at the

highest level.”

According to a recent national survey, luxury buyers rank trustworthiness, rapid response from agents and 100-percent accessibility via technology as essential agent/brand attributes more than the number of overall consumers. Also considered essential are having the best reputation and being recommended by others.

“We’re not transactional, we’re relational” is another axiom agents express. It may not be part of the code of ethics, but it’s a value they share. “Agents’ goals are to create long-term relationships through exceptional customer experiences, which results in developing strong advocates and referrals,” explains Benson. For a huge number, a sizable portion of their business comes from past clients and client referrals.

Among consumers with homes valued at or above $1 million and a minimum income of $200,000, the number who say they have ever used Keller Williams is almost double that of U.S. consumers overall, and the brand ranks No. 2 nationwide.

A survey of the 24 largest U.S. luxury markets shows Keller Williams agents sold more luxury properties (the top 10 percent of a market) than competitors. Among brands who dominate the upscale market, Keller Williams ranks second in top-of-mind awareness.

Win-Win or No Deal

Win-Win or No Deal stands out as Keller Williams mantra, and it underscores integrity, trust, and other WI4C2TES bullets. “Each opportunity for interaction with other agents and our consumers/clients are guided by these ethics regardless of the surrounding circumstances. So, when something goes wrong in a transaction, we still respond with the same thought process of, “How are we going to do the right thing?” says Tongg.

“Keller Williams has helped me find the balance between being a defender and aggressor for my clients’ wants and needs and remaining an advocate for the deal itself. Conceptualizing the deal as a third part of the equation (buyer, seller, deal) and treating it with respect and reverence really works. Trying to help ‘it’ succeed is usually what both parties to a transaction want — and deserve,” shares Yarbrough.

“From the beginning,” Pierce says, “We are told Win-Win or No Deal. It’s not cutthroat. If everybody wins, your client wins. We look for ways to make the transaction benefit all parties involved.”

Eco-friendly building trends are adding efficiencies inside and out.

Sustainability has accrued cultural importance in recent years, permeating almost every aspect of our lives, including fashion, skincare, transportation, and even our drinking straws. With the ever-present issue of climate change weighing on the world’s shoulders, there has been an urgency to infuse environmentally sustainable practices into our everyday lives to minimize our carbon footprint. When thinking about sustainability, some may overlook the spaces that we inhabit and how much energy is being used to heat, cool, and illuminate our homes.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, residential and commercial buildings account for 40 percent of the country’s total energy consumption, a bulk of which is generated by the burning of fossil fuels. For this reason, pioneers in the construction sector have spearheaded the green building movement, centering their businesses around creating energy-efficient homes and buildings that work in tandem with the environment, not against it.

But what does sustainable building entail? There are a variety of different methods that go into building a sustainable home or commercial space, not only while it is operating, but also during the construction process: renewable production; low water use; the use of natural resources and non-toxic, non-polluting materials; and recycling.

Scott Rodwin, an architect and builder based in Boulder, Colorado, specializes in green design and construction. He was first introduced to sustainable design in 1988, when he joined an eco-friendly cohousing community while studying architecture at Cornell University. Fast forward to 1999, when he founded the now award-winning design team in his name, Rodwin Architecture, offering clients custom, net-zero homes that uphold quality, charm, and environmental integrity. Rodwin notes that energy efficiency has largely been enforced in his area and prioritized by homebuyers.

“Building codes have become more robust and now require very energy-efficient homes. In Boulder, any home over 3,000 square feet now must be net-zero energy. The bigger the home, the more efficient it is required to be.

“Building codes have become more robust and now require very energy-efficient homes. In Boulder, any home over 3,000 square feet now must be net-zero energy. The bigger the home, the more efficient it is required to be.”

— Scott Rodwin

The Hoefling House is an award-winning, LEEDPlatinum, near-net-zero energy home and one of architect Scott Rodwin’s favorites.

Also, the demand is driven by the values and environmental awareness of buyers. Our clients typically request net-zero energy as a primary feature of the home. Who wouldn’t want their house to have tiny utility bills?”

According to Rodwin, a fundamental aspect of green building is passive solar design, which he claims is “one of the least expensive ways to improve the home’s energy performance, and the client’s enjoyment of the space.” This can include implementing south-facing windows, properly sized overhangs that offer shade to vertical, south windows during the summer, and a spectrally-selective film to the windows to control UV solar gain.

With the green building movement gaining momentum over time, global rating systems have been established to certify buildings that are notably sustainable in their design and construction, incentivizing builders to fully commit to the cause. The most widely used distinction is the LEED certification, a rating appointed to high-performance buildings that achieve a certain level of environmental responsibility. Another popular rating system is the WELL Building Standard, which adopts a more holistic approach as it assesses the built environment through the lens of human health and wellness, considering different aspects such as air, water, nourishment, comfort, and mind.

Along with ensuring sustainability in new constructions and developments, Hafsa Burt, an award-winning architect and environmentalist, suggests another viable solution is improving the conditions of preexisting buildings. She says this can be achieved through increased insulation, weather stripping, and the incorporation of Passivhaus principles, which are a set of design standards for energy efficiency. Burt founded her design studio, HB+A architects, in 2008, setting a precedent for green building standards and executing various sustainable projects throughout California, ranging from multifamily homes to fastcasual restaurants and medical offices.

One feature that Burt has long been an advocate for is indoor air quality, as the quality of the air we breathe largely impacts our health. “I’ve been doing peer advocacy for healthy buildings since 2009, and back then used Legionnaire’s disease as a case study for spreading disease, which became all too relevant with COVID-19. There have also been numerous studies that show a direct link between improved air quality and cognitive function.”

Burt’s award-winning project, the Box Factory, created through the self-founded development firm Box Lab, has garnered significant acclaim in the green building community this year. The zero-carbon, zero-energy single-family home was intended to address production inefficiencies that arose from a similar project — and did so successfully, resulting in a polished, minimalist, energy-efficient home.

Despite the progress in making living more sustainable, there is still a long way to go. The national goals to instate a carbon-free economy by 2050 and a carbon-free power sector by 2035 are looming, which would call for a reduction in carbon emissions by 65 percent, innovations, and bureaucratic support, according to Burt.

Sustainability has not only been a growing force in the United States, but also internationally, specifically in Europe. The DGNB German Sustainable Building Council is currently Europe’s biggest network in sustainable building. It saw a record number of new members by the end of 2020 and is expanding into 25 countries.

As for the future, experts hope to see a commitment to sustainable construction expand and become standardized within the industry. A shift to powering buildings with renewable sources of energy, monitoring the use of natural resources, and solely using non-toxic materials is considered pivotal for creating healthier spaces that are more environmentally responsible.

At Home Elegance with Love

By Lara Becker

Valentine’s Day can be the epitome of luxury if you plan it right. But it doesn’t take a village or a day out on the town — some of the most special moments can be found right at home with the people who matter most. Here are some ideas to bring high-end sophistication home.

Unique flower arrangements:

Rose Boxes and Menorah Flower Displays

It’s time to ditch your standard bouquet from the grocery store. These days, companies across the globe are creating arrangements that stand out from the crowd. RoseBox NYC organizes custom-designed, preserved rose bouquets that last an entire year. There’s no maintenance required for keeping them fresh every single day, and they come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and material from glass to reflective mirrors. You can personalize each step of the process, including the roses, and even inscribe a message on the RoseBox. “Our team of florists hand arrange every RoseBox, carefully selecting each rose to ensure they are super fresh, buoyant and beautiful!” says Gal Yakir from the RoseBox team.

Apeloig Collection takes an entirely new direction in this area, placing flowers in menorahs for a gorgeous display. Menorahs are available in five translucent colors: blue, smoke, burgundy, multicolor or white, and can be used as either the candle holder or a vase. When you’re ready to use the menorah as a vase, metal cups in each section can be removed, and filled with water to keep the flowers fresh each day. “We love how the flowers look in the display. It really makes a statement,” co-founders Daniela and Gabriela Apeloig, note in an interview. “When you can display the bouquet in a special way it really takes the flowers, and the thoughtfulness of the gift, to another level.”

Modern Puzzles

After your delicious meal, settle in with a collaborative, hands-on activity. Puzzles have truly made a comeback, with growing popularity for nights spent at home. Clean off your nearest table, and pour out the pieces from Modern Puzzles, taking the market by storm with Midcentury Modern designs on each of their creations. “Valentine’s Day is all about expressing how much you love, care and appreciate the people in your life,” notes the creator and graphic designer Gavin Levy. “Grab a glass of wine, open a box of chocolates, and work on the puzzle together.” From Desert Sunset, Frost and Fire, and retro Billy’s Burgers, there are plenty of options to dazzle you once the pieces come together.

Finding your perfect couch

By the end of the night, you’ll want to relax together in comfort and in style. Boca Do Lobo furniture designs come in handy for planning ahead on this special occasion. Press Officer Marta Tuna says that the company’s couch designs are perfect for V-Day. “Boca Do Lobo has the most luxurious, but, at the same time, cozy sofas to enjoy a relaxing time with your other half,” she says. Examples include the Imperfectio Modular Sofa for an electric “chaise lounge,” or the Versailles sofa for a romantic, artistic piece. Either direction you go in, she says, will be a statement for your Valentine’s design.

Virtual cooking classes with Jen & Jamey

Cooking together can be a great way to spend your night, but can often come with unnecessary stress. Instead of planning it all yourself, bring some professionals onto your team for the night. Co-owners and husband-and-wife team Jennifer Earnest and Jamey Evnoiuk originally started Chef’s Garden Catering and Events, a renowned catering and event company in Florida — but the pandemic drew this to a halt. Just a year later, Jen & Jamey’s Virtual Cooking Classes are a rousing success. They’ll help you to learn to cook from the ground up, and from the comfort of your own home. For the utmost convenience, Jen and Jamey ship all necessary ingredients to your front door once your class is selected. “We have something decadent and delicious in the works,” say the pair of this year’s V-Day offerings. “This is like the ultimate date night. We take all the heavy lifting out of the cooking process. It’s the best of both — quality time and learning something new!”

Secrets of the Garden

By Roger Grody

Whether consisting of several country acres or just a small urban patio, gardens transform properties — and attitudes.

From formal settings to indigenous plantings appearing practically untouched by the human hand, from tropical themes in Miami to cacti and agave in Scottsdale, the diversity of home gardens is unlimited. They range from substantial acreage to a potted fire escape in Brooklyn, and while some are purely decorative, others sustain wildlife or the family kitchen. There is no better time than now to prepare for the spring, when the energy of these dynamic ecosystems will fully emerge.

Every garden has its own personality, and while homebuyers tend to focus most on kitchens and bathrooms, they should not underestimate the impact of a well-designed, properly maintained garden. Studies indicate that attractive landscaping and gardens support higher residential property values, and their potential for contributing to a satisfying lifestyle is unlimited.

The 2021 Garden Trends Report, published by Garden Media Group, finds that the pandemic refocused American homeowners on their outdoor spaces, driving many to acquire new properties

with more extensive acreage. Forced to work from home, more than half of Americans began spending two additional hours per day outdoors, and just as many began investing their energies in gardening as in baking. The traditional grass lawn is being chewed up by both recreational amenities (e.g., pools, barbecues) and gardens, as novice hobbyists and master gardeners alike are pursuing their efforts with renewed enthusiasm.

The portfolio of Santa Barbara, Californiabased landscape designer/builder Margie Grace is diverse, but her respect for the environment — she works within the constraints of a site rather than challenging it — results in gardens that appear natural and organic. The overarching philosophy of her firm, Grace Design, is to create gardens that support the homeowner’s passions and lifestyle within the limitations presented by the site. Describing her favorite clients as highly collaborative individuals open to new ideas, the company founder explains, “They’re committed to doing something exceptional, whether they have a postage stamp-sized lot or a giant estate.”

This Santa Barbara, California-area project is an example of the “approachable formality” of landscape designer Margie Grace (inset), which complements both the existing architecture and natural environment.

“Good design is about riffing on what’s in your own backyard, appreciating the environmental features around you,” says Grace, who explains that if granite is found onsite, there is no need to import bluestone from Connecticut. She believes in working with the existing topography and using some of the site’s original resources, such as existing trees or boulders, to optimize the design.

Grace observes several significant trends in garden and landscape design, citing a greater consciousness of climate change and local environmental issues, curating plants that attract wildlife and creating gardens that address culinary purposes. “A lot of closet chefs want to create a landscape that supports their hobby and self-expression, which often includes space for outdoor dining and a place to cook,” says the landscape designer.

While much of Grace’s work has a rustic, organic quality, some clients insist on the presentation of topiaries or symmetrical flower beds, and she accomplishes this through a concept self-described as “approachable formality.” Grace explains, “You can use precise geometry,

but iterate it with soft, feathered edging, or install formal stairs with roughly hewn stones that are not overworked.”

Acknowledging that many home gardeners are inclined to gravitate toward vibrantly colored flowers, Grace suggests the days of obsessing over intense, saturated blooms have passed, noting, “Elegance can result from simplicity, and the use of green-on-green can be timeless and classical.” She adds, “People now recognize you can have a garden with a narrow palette of colors, creating interest through different brushstrokes.”

King Garden, a full-service landscape design firm in Hastings-on-Hudson north of New York City, with a presence outside Houston, assists luxury property owners with a refined, artistic approach to landscaping. Founder Charles King Sadler has designed and maintained some extraordinary properties, including historic Stratford Hall in Virginia and New York’s Holly Hill, the former estate of philanthropist Brooke Astor.

The firm’s expertise ranges from formal plantings — King Garden is one of the rare topiary and espalier specialists available to

residential clients — to gardens that have a more natural, unsculpted appearance. While acknowledging that topiary may be the antithesis to the trend toward ecologically minded garden design, Sadler reports, “There’s still great interest in it and people that enjoy topiary tend to like it very structured and precise.”

Sadler also specializes in a subset to topiary referred to as cloud gardening, a “green architecture” technique of creating spherical shrubs (often boxwood) that provide an ethereal aesthetic. “Europeans first popularized a hybrid that combines structured, cloud-like shrubs with the temporal and kinetic nature of wildflowers,” reports the designer of a trend that has arrived in the states.

Sadler explains that American landscape designers continue to emulate European techniques, but that many large estates suffer from a dearth of local talent with the expertise to maintain their elaborate gardens. “I enjoy bringing equilibrium back to a landscape, restoring and rejuvenating properties that others have given up on,” says the widely published horticultural authority.

Charles King Sadler (inset), founder of King Garden, specializes in espalier such as this, where the branches of fruit trees are trained to adapt to patterns.

Another traditional design offered by King Garden is espalier, an ornamental technique of training the branches of fruit trees to adapt to patterns against walls. “Found in early American colonial gardens, espalier is in harmony with the desire of clients to grow more food,” states Sadler, who observes a broader trend of edible gardens. He also embraces the use of plants indigenous to a region, another prevailing trend. “I use native plants whenever possible, as they support an incredible diversity of insects and birds,” says Sadler.

When Sadler approaches a new project, he thoroughly studies the site’s history and environmental influences. “With no preconceived ideas of my own, I listen carefully to the clients, then I go back and really ‘listen’ to the site,” explains Sadler of an almost spiritual process that allows nature to guide his design while still meeting his client’s needs.

Like California’s Margie Grace, Sadler appreciates the subtleties of green-on-green plantings and reports sophisticated clients prefer those nuances, often paired with white blooms. He says variegated plants, whose leaf pigmentations are inherently complex, help achieve the desired effect, citing hostas and aucuba (spotted laurel), as well as agave and yucca in warmer climates. Sadler recommends planning new landscapes as early as possible, insisting, “Spring is really too late.”

In her book, The Next-Generation Gardener, horticultural journalist Madison Moulton reports on a major demographic shift in American gardeners. She indicates a large percentage of new gardeners are under 35, eco-conscious, technology-savvy consumers who are likely to live in urban areas with

limited growing space.

Moulton states, “Interest has certainly exploded over the past few years, with surveys indicating millions of people started gardening for the first time in 2020 and 2021.” While she acknowledges the extra time spent at home has been a factor, the writer also suggests people are simply looking for a greater connection to nature.

“The Internet, and particularly social media platforms, have dramatically increased interest in gardening, as well as access to information,” reports Moulton, who believes the enhanced communication eliminates some of the mystique associated with gardening and makes it more accessible to beginners. While edible gardening and indoor cultivation are significant trends she examines in her book, Moulton states, “I think the one major trend that all gardeners are embracing, from amateurs to professionals, is sustainability.”

“Recognizing that they have a significant influence on their local environments, gardeners are moving toward practices that are sustainable and environmentally friendly,” says Moulton. Practices such as replacing lawns with pollinator gardens, switching out unsustainable materials like peat moss for better alternatives, and using primarily native plants that conserve water while creating synergies with wildlife are consistent with this movement.

Moulton sees current trends intensifying in 2022, suggesting, “For example, edible gardening isn’t just about growing a veggie patch anymore, but completely food-scaping your garden or growing ‘food forests’ with a wide range of edible plants.” The edible garden — the creation of something that not only looks beautiful, but serves

the dual purpose of providing artisanal ingredients for the kitchen — is as old as gardening itself, but more fashionable than ever. The 2021 Garden Trends Report documents that 67 percent of adults are currently growing or planning to grow edible plants.

“Winter is the perfect time for a garden clean up,” insists Moulton, recommending clearing away debris to prevent disease, cleaning and servicing tools, and organizing materials for easy use in spring. “However, my favorite off-season task has to be planning for the next season,” says the gardening journalist, adding, “I like to take stock of what worked and what didn’t the previous year, and plan new features and plantings that get me excited for spring.”

Aimée Damman of Seattle’s Swansons

Nursery — it is a legendary and beloved garden store, accommodating both amateurs and professionals since its founding in 1924 — reports an enthusiasm for gardening this year, regardless of resources or acreage. Damman, the nursery’s director of marketing and communications, as well as editor of its gardening blog, states, “Gardening in containers is very popular right now, especially for customers who live in condos or apartments.” She adds, “Even customers with larger yards like decorative containers and we’ve seen lots of interest in edible gardening in containers.”

Charlo Wang, Swansons’ container design projects manager, elaborates, “We’re receiving lots of requests for decorative containers to enhance entryways, patios and balconies.” Observing clients are more conscious of songbirds, hummingbirds and honeybees, Wang reports, “There’s increasing interest in native plants, which goes along with wanting to create a nice habitat for wildlife.”

Swansons’ perennials manager Katy Lockwood advises, “There seems to be more interest in what I call ‘nostalgic’ plants, whose name, scent or form have positive memory associations,” and mentions roses, jasmine, lilies, hollyhocks, and hardy gardenias as examples. “I think the trend of growing vegetables, fruit and herbs also falls into this category,” she adds.

The pandemic surely increased homeowners’ appreciation for their indoor living spaces — home offices, gyms and chef’s kitchens became valuable amenities — but it also focused renewed attention on outdoor spaces, whether a lush acre or rickety balcony. “The house may be the jewel, but the landscaping is the setting for the ring,” suggests Grace.

Mother Nature as Art

By Kristen Ordonez

Buyers crave listings with windows and designs that showcase scenic views.

Whether it is a lush, green forest that evolves with the seasons or the roar of crashing waves along a pristine beach, the perfect view is how many buyers come to find their perfect match in a home. Real estate agents are no doubt aware of this phenomenon, especially now, when the swiftness of a sale can sometimes be dependent on how great the views are. Windows have, in turn, become more than just a way to see the outside, but a way to showcase spectacular works of nature as art.

If the views of a home are the way into a buyer’s heart, windows are the home’s method of flirtation. Windows can heavily affect a homebuyer’s decision in more ways than just the amount, from size and shape to orientation based on the movement of daylight. Real estate agents from across the country have noted the trend along with some interesting effects it has had on the market. Greg Miner of the Utah Luxury Group, Keller Williams Park City Real Estate, says that while many aspects of a home can be easily tweaked to suit a new owner, views are

a built-in value that not only make the owners happy, but will help resale value. He also notes that oftentimes access to natural views in such a grand way are what separate luxury properties from the rest.

Perhaps our love of views derives from an innate need to be in nature. Scott Rodwin, AIA and LEED AP with Rodwin Architecture, understands this indescribable instinct that buyers have to be outside. “Clients typically request excellent indoor/outdoor living; we can’t always be outside, but having large, well-placed windows and glass doors helps create that sought-after feeling of being outdoors even when inside.” He adds that having that strong sense of connection also makes a house feel larger.

Outdoor recreation is a huge part of life in Park City, according to Miner, and many homeowners and buyers in the area also look to bring the outdoors in through large windows and glass doors with views of the mountains where they spend so much time. “There is a lot that goes into a property to make it a luxury

home, but one of the biggest ‘wow’ moments any prospective buyer has is always when walking into a spectacular great room or stunning master suite, with large windows and full-glass doors that let in impressive ski resort, mountain and meadow views,” he says.

Brittney Ferro with Keller Williams West Ventura County in California cites an even bigger factor that not only affects the beauty of the natural views, but the home as well: natural light. “I have some buyers that will absolutely not consider a home if it does not have several windows and large doors to the exterior,” she says, noting they are also interested in an openfloor concept living. “It can include ocean and mountain views, but if the windows and doors are not oriented towards the view then the home has a huge decrease in value.”

The need for daylight is critical in architectural design, according to Rodwin. He says that while most clients list “capturing the views” as a main goal of the project, having excellent daylighting is just as important to the

successful design of a home. The best way to do this? Through design, one can balance the desire for large windows with passive solar design, which in layman’s terms is to try and capture solar gain when we want it (when it’s cold) and block it when we don’t (when it’s hot).

“Here in Colorado, where the sun is very strong, it’s essential to offer a lot of protection from overheating. We do this through a combination of techniques,” Rodwin notes, such as placing a majority of windows on the south side to gain shade in the summer and allow in the lower sun in the winter.

As Rodwin and many real estate agents can explain, orientation with regard to home building, and therefore window placement, is crucial for more than just providing access to excellent natural views. As Melissa Green of Keller Williams Realty Golden Isles puts it, “‘Location, location, location!’ may be a well-known real estate term, but ‘Orientation, orientation, orientation!’ is important as well.” She expands, saying that the interplay of natural light in an interior space creates mood, enhances materials, and energizes a place. “It is indeed a design element like no other,” Green says.

Luckily for buyers, depending on what natural landscapes appeal to them the most, there is almost always a market for what they want. Especially in recent years with the pandemic, access to natural views went from being a perk to a priority, according to Ferro. “People are relocating to our small beach town and often they are coming from more expensive areas, so they are quick to buy our hillside or oceanside homes at a premium.” Across the country in Georgia’s Golden Isles, Green notes that available properties offer views of oceanfront, riverfront and marshfront, with listings staying active for as short as two weeks.

While there is sometimes conflict between the desire to have large windows for views or more wall space to display art, some buyers do reserve an interest in having both. North Carolina agent Sarah Spencer of Keller Williams Realty Outer Banks notes a recent instance of this — a couple looking for a gallery space in their desired beach home. “This request is rare because the feeling of these oceanside retreats is intentionally relaxed. High art feels out of place,” she says. She also recalled a moment when a client once said that “each sunset was like waiting for an artist to show up on cue.”

“I’ve always loved that thought,” she says.

Walls of glass remains a key element to Warm Modernism, Colorado’s hallmark style of architecture, Rodwin notes.

With so much natural beauty, “being able to take as much of that in from the comfort of home is everything!” says Miner.

“Architecture exerts a profound influence over our wellbeing,” says Green.
