A BUYERS GALLERY of FINE HOMES®
PUBLISHER’S LETTER Dear Readers, Welcome to our Anniversary Edition! For 17 years now, we have been publishing the duPont REGISTRY A Buyers Gallery of Fine Homes®. A heartfelt thanks to our loyal clients and advertisers, especially those who have been with us since the beginning. The luxury homes highlighted in this issue are truly the cream of the crop, beginning with our FEATURED PROPERTY editorial pieces. These fine homes include the largest single-family residential property in Milwaukee County, Indian Creek Manor located in River Hills, Wisconsin. A Magnificent Masterpiece located in Arbor Hill in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania also features one of the most significant and grand properties in the area. Ocean House in South Beach, Miami Beach, Florida is yet another spectacular property with grand residences, over the top amenities, and it’s located directly on the Atlantic Ocean within walking distance to the best shopping, nightlife scenes and museums. The MARKET INSIGHT properties this month take us from Rosemary Beach, Florida to Florence, Alabama and Jackson, Tennessee to Orange County, California and the Castle of Rincon in Puerto Rico. You won’t want to miss any of these amazing properties. Then, read all about DESTINATION: LAS CRUCES, NEW MEXICO and Meson de Mesilla on page 162. This fourteen-bedroom hotel and restaurant is secluded and private, and was voted “Most Romantic” in Las Cruces Sun News Reader’s Choice awards. The hotel is being offered as a turnkey opportunity— complete with full liquor license, all equipment and furnishings, all the recipes and the opportunity to retain the current staff. As usual, I hope you enjoy all of the homes in this month’s issue. Again, I thank all of our loyal readers, clients and advertisers. Keep us in mind whether you are buying or selling your home, and be sure to go online to see our virtual magazine at www.duPontREGISTRY.com. Warm Regards,
Thomas L. duPont Publisher and Chairman duPont Publishing, Inc.
