PHOENIX, ARIZONA CHATEAU ON CENTRAL—THE ART OF LIVING

By Kendra Gemma Located in south central Arizona, Phoenix boasts a downtown that’s home to the "creative class," a group of bold and innovative entrepreneurs who derive inspiration from the city’s cultural diversity and activity.

“Downtown Phoenix is seeing a surge in arts, culture, entertainment and jobs, creating a renewed demand for downtown proximity,” says Joe Morales, managing partner of Arizona Great Estates-Realty ONE Group. “This trend complements the major institutional assets located downtown such as the ASU campuses, major sporting arenas, multiple government agencies and Cityscape, a $900million-dollar shopping, dining and entertainment venue.”

owners the convenience of running a boutique business or practice on the first two levels of each home.

The homes’ amenities include authentic jumbo brick masonry, multiple terraces and deluxe Viking appliances. Buyers can select from six flexible plans ranging from 5,192 to 8,252 square feet. Base prices begin at $1.389 million. Conveniently adjacent to the Light Rail, Chateau on Central is situated between three historic districts, steps from museums and the historic Phoenix Theatre and minutes from Chase Field, U.S. Airways Center and the Sky Harbor Airport.

One of Phoenix’s busiest and most used stretches, downtown’s Central Avenue Corridor also serves as a major center of employment with banks, hi-tech companies, law firms and government agencies setting up offices here.

This corridor was once lined with decadent mansions and lush landscaping reminiscent of San Francisco’s renowned Nob Hill neighborhood. The 1920’s building boom provided downtown with an eclectic mix of residences. By 1932, construction in these booming neighborhoods came to a halt leaving a limited historical reflection.

“With many meticulously restored homes, and an infusion of modern architecture, downtown Phoenix is now finding the balance between new and old,” says Morales. “Chateau on Central encompasses both movements, embracing old-world architecture with modern amenities.”

Chateau on Central has created a luxury lock-and-leave lifestyle perfect for the traveling businessperson, pro athlete, retiree or cultural enthusiast. The brownstone community affords home-

PUBLISHER’S LETTER Dear Readers, I’d like to share just two of the many recent success stories from our clients. First, Chateau Noble de McLean sold for $10.2 million in November 2010 and the new owners took possession earlier this year.

Thank you to Fouad Talout of Christie’s Great Estates who sold the property and wrote to inform us of his success with his ad in our magazine. Second, Nancy Jimenez from Esslinger, Wooten, Maxwell, Inc., wrote to tell us about her sale of a Miami, Florida property with over 17,000 square feet on 11 acres that was listed for $5,749,000. We appreciate both of you as our clients, and for trusting us with your marketing needs. One of our newest clients, Hunter Moore & Stearns of Southeastern Connecticut, hopes to have the same success.

Our FEATURED PROPERTY on page 18 is Blue Ridge Beauty in Asheville, North Carolina. This beautiful stone and timbered home has two elevators and the finest of finishes and amenities. A second FEATURED PROPERTY, Los Gatos Resort Living is also known for its views. Where else can you find 50 acres that is no more than five minutes from downtown Los Gatos, California, with birds’ eye views of Silicon Valley, two lakes, vineyards and San Francisco?

Fifty acres, a gorgeous contemporary estate, bird’s eye views of the entire Silicon Valley – located only five minutes from downtown Los Gatos – this is the property to own for those who love to entertain and covet their privacy. Set at the end of a cul-de-sac, the gated entrance opens to a mile-long drive that leads to breathtaking views and a spectacular lifestyle. Never before offered on the market, this property was developed by its current owner and is now available for purchase.

“This is a very, very rare property because of its size and proximity to the downtown. Normally, to get this much acreage, you’d have to drive up into the back hills for at least half an hour. Here you have total privacy and convenience – which means you can escape to your own world, entertain lavishly and no one will know you’re here. At the same time, you can be in Los Gatos in five minutes,” says Pierre Buljan, broker/owner of the Pierre Buljan Group at Coldwell Banker in Burlingame, California. Pierre Buljan is named a Top Ten Power Broker in northern California by San Francisco Business Times and has sold more than 1 billion in sales. www.duPontREGISTRY.com

The home features 10,000 square feet of modern, architectural design sure to please the eye and the senses. Spectacular window placement throughout ensures long-distance views of Silicon Valley, two lakes, vineyards and San Francisco. The property includes a pool with luxurious waterfalls, tennis court/sports court, designated helicopter landing area, four-car garage, 50+ car parking and a 2,200 square foot guest house.

The property is exquisitely landscaped and may be sub-divided.

Silicon Valley founders, entrepreneurs as well as celebrities neighbor the property.

“This property offers security and unparalleled views of gorgeous California landscape. It’s truly a rare gem,” Buljan says.

Sharing the same city with the U.S.’s largest private home, an Asheville, North Carolina property might not compare in size to its Biltmore Estate neighbor but its beauty and modern touches make it an equally lovely place to live. Layered views of the Blue Ridge Mountains on more than two acres of land give the contemporary, state-of-the-art house a natural embrace.

“Dramatic sunset views of western mountain ranges are the perfect setting for this stone and timbered home with the finest of finishes and amenities like two elevators, car lifts, a wine cellar, 125-foot waterfall and computer-controlled systems,” says Ann Skoglund, broker associate with Beverly-Hanks & Associates.

The 6,100-square-foot house, priced at $4.95 million, not only has the finest granite, marble and limestone, but it also boasts a prestigious reclaimed wood floor.

The planks come from a barn where Kentucky Derby winner Alysheba was raised.

Its layout—including four bedrooms, four-full baths and two-half baths—accommodates everyone.

“With its main-floor owner and separate guest quarters, exercise room and office, it would appeal to second-home buyers, retirees, families seeking access to a vibrant town center but the feeling of living in a remote mountain setting yet within a child-friendly community,” Skoglund says.

Asheville has been named a top city for second-home purchases, retirement, outdoor living, the arts, medical center facilities, local crafted beer and a dining scene featuring farm to table freshness.

In the southern part of town, the featured property’s Biltmore Park neighborhood reflects the new urbanism movement. Mixed-use areas mingle with suburban enclaves, making it a walkable community. Offices and businesses are nearby. Schools, a theater, restaurants and shopping offer city conveniences, while residents can also hike and bike along trails.

Fewer than ten minutes from the regional airport, the community attracts people who work throughout western North Carolina, along with retirees and second-home buyers. It’s about twenty minutes from city center, as well.

The name Cape Cod flashes images of historic seaside homes in one’s mind and evokes a longing for a simpler time. Its charm continues today, as a retreat from the hectic and stressful modern world.

“Chatham, located on the elbow of Cape Cod, has its own unique charm and as a result has fared well through the real estate downturn,” says Chris Rhinesmith, vbroker/owner of Pine Acres Realty, Inc. “People come from all over Cape Cod to stroll the quaint village with its charming boutiques and popular restaurants.”

Located just 90 minutes from Boston, Chatham does not require a ferry or plane trip. It is easily accessed by car.

Our featured property, on appropriately named Seaview Street, commands dramatic views of Chatham Harbor and prestigious Shore Road, with its world-class resort, Chatham Bars Inn. Built in the early 1900s, the home epitomizes Cape Cod architecture and distinctive character.

With seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and one half bathroom, the ample home sits on a 1.5-acre plot. A grand circular driveway leads up to the home, and walking paths and mature landscaping decorate the grounds. A large living room and open-floor dining area fitted with two central fireplaces and stunning antique tile work make for a perfect entertaining space. An eat-in, country kitchen provides a more intimate gathering place.

Private quarters are plentiful, as well. In-laws or visitors will enjoy a suite above the garage.

Secluded guest quarters in the main house include three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms and a cozy studio.

Oversized windows in the sunroom take advantage of the harbor views. Interior details throughout the house, such as coffered ceilings and wood-paneled walls, call to mind the maritime surroundings.

The beautiful, 3,421-square-foot home has an asking price of $5.7 million.

KING TOWNSHIP IN TORONTO, ONTARIO HOUSE ON THE VALE—NESTLED IN HORSE COUNTRY

By Eric Snider Just a short drive from downtown Toronto, Ontario—one of the most cosmopolitan, livable cities in the world—is King Township, a place that, in the words of Royal LePage real estate representative Brian Marshall, “is analogous to Kentucky horse country, with wooded lands, big pastures and horse farms.”

Right in the heart of King Township, surrounded by more than 500 acres of horse farms, sits the House on the Vale, a truly extraordinary home on eleven bucolic acres.

Facts and figures—nearly 8,000 square feet, six bedrooms—do not do the House on the Vale justice. “Every once in awhile, a good architect will get into a zone and create something truly extraordinary,” says Brian of the home’s designer, Vytautas Petrulis. “That’s what he did here.”

The home’s interior is separated in the design between public and private space. In the public areas, use of floor elevations, open staircases and light creates intuitive room separation while preserving the open nature of the home. In the private space,

the bedrooms, loft, study and the design studio are delineated by variable ceiling height, alcoved hallways, and distinct elevations.

The beautiful vistas of the vale are accessed through a multitude of windows. Natural light floods the home.

Each of the home’s five balconies offers a different perspective of the property. Whether overlooking the stone-terraced in-ground pool, the tennis courts, the natural woodland, horse paddocks, or the river, the beauty of this estate property continually presents itself anew.

Because, as Brian says, “Toronto remains one of the most affordable major cities in the world,” the House on the Vale is being offered at $2.5 million. “This home, in a similar proximity to any other major urban center in the U.S. or Europe,” Brians says, “would easily start at twice the price.”

The House on the Vale

in King, Ontario

Nestled into the hills of King Township’s horse country is an architectural gem that is proof of the old adage that the total is greater than the sum of its parts. Too often, a house is merely a collection of rooms, but in the House On the Vale, it is much, much more.

The word ‘organic’ is often overused, but in this case, it truly describes the way that this magnificent home flows from space to space, exposing new facets of its design with each step, and drawing one naturally into its embrace.

The home’s modernist influenced styling is warmed by the use of natural hardwoods, and everywhere there is opportunity to gaze through huge windows onto the beautiful 11-acre valley setting on which it is placed.

Vaulting ceilings that soar upwards, open yet intimate rooms, a buoyant feeling of movement, all supported by sunlight that floods the home. The public space is truly designed for entertaining large numbers of guests, while being equally accommodating to small gatherings of close friends and family. The private spaces are sanctuaries that afford opportunities for quiet contemplation and relaxation. And the setting... how the home is anchored on the edge of one of the prettiest vales that can be imagined, provides privacy, an abundance of natural beauty, the chance to dally by the stream, to walk along the trails, or ride the countryside on horseback.

A natural oasis, a retreat, a place for quiet relaxation... and yet, located only 20 minutes from Toronto’s international airport and a mere 35 minutes from the heart of Toronto’s theatre and financial districts, is equally urban.

Sophisticated, yet comfortable. Formal yet relaxed. The House on the Vale is that rare and precious jewel awaiting your discovery.

Offered at $2.5 million.

DISCOVER THE CAROLINAS

By Britta Dragicevic, Eric Snider and Nicole Lauber Few places offer the array of natural beauty that North and South Carolina do: ocean beaches, creeks, rivers, marshes, quiet inner lands where forest and Blue Ridge mountains create a world of magic. For the luxury homeowner, finding a property here is just the beginning to a lifetime of sensual pleasure. Opportunities abound with a wide range of architectural styles, lot sizes and nuanced character rich in history and story. The Carolina’s are a haven for the nature lover and those who enjoy the outdoors. They offer a tranquil peace-of-mind that rivals only the urban drive for innovation. Choose the Carolina’s to discover your perfect blend of delight.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA Everyone knows that the Carolinas have beautiful nature preserves and an abundance of outdoor activities, but one small island in South Carolina is well-known for encouraging its residents and visitors to enjoy the environment while staying active: Hilton Head Island.

“Hilton Head Island is a perfect place to live for anyone that loves outdoor activities and the beach,” says Steve Timperman of Charter One Realty. “We have an amazing subtropical climate year-round that allows us to be outdoors.

I’ve lived here for 30 years, and it’s only snowed about five times.”

Steve says that some of the most popular outdoor activities include golf, tennis, hiking, fishing and especially biking. With over fifty miles of bicycle trails, the city is currently working to receive the achievement of a Bicycle Friendly Community from the League of American Bicyclists, which only 158 other cities in the United States have earned.

One particular community in Hilton Head Island that promotes the outdoor lifestyle is Wexford Plantation, which has a championship golf course, six tennis courts and access to the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway via Broad Creek.

Steve represents an 8,204-square-foot home in this community, 8 Plumbridge Lane.

In addition to having five bedrooms, six-full bathrooms and two-half bathrooms, included in this property is a guest house with a kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. The house also boasts a 12-plus-car garage, and the full balcony on the second floor overlooks a private pool and a private dock that can accommodate boats and yachts up to 72 feet long. “This house really does have the best craftsmanship,” Steve says.

“It’s absolutely amazing.”

“What cannot be duplicated is the ambiance of this totally private property,” says Kim Dennis, broker at Fonville Morisey Realty in Raleigh. “This is a wonderful place to enjoy a fall evening. To sip a glass of wine, watch the moon rise large and low over the lake, and linger under the arbor in the terraced formal gardens where the roses bloom until Thanksgiving. The feeling you get here—there’s nothing like it and you don’t want to leave.”

The property also features coach buildings designed to house seventeen vehicles, with a luxury car wash and full pet grooming facilities. No expense was spared in the design details of this estate property with stone paths, lush landscaping and gorgeous lake views.

WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA Winston-Salem, North Carolina is a city set on reinventing itself. Long a center of manufacturing and finance, it has recently become home to a growing bio-medical technology industry. Entrepreneurs and medical professionals are discovering the many advantages of life in the heralded “City of the Arts.” It’s also a magnificent place to retire.

“We are seeing a slight pick up in our luxury market, mostly with homes that are aggressively priced to the point of being a deal.

People who have the capacity to purchase are finding this is a great time to do so. Our market was hit hard, but it is stabilizing this year. I anticipate that in the next few years we will see modest appreciation in values,” says Mary Preston Yates, Realtor at Prudential Carolinas Realty.

“You feel like you are in the mountains, and yet, you’re in town.

This is a beautiful property.” Preston Yates says. “There’s a very long private driveway, lovely yard, gorgeous terrace. It’s truly a wonderful place to enjoy the ambiance of mountain serenity while having the convenience of urban amenities.”

Winston-Salem is headquarters to several Fortune 500s, as well as Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem State, University of North Carolina School of the Arts and Salem College. It was the first city in 1957 to establish an Arts Council and has a thriving arts culture. The city is located within 3.5 hours of the ocean and one hour to the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is within a one-hour flight to Washington, DC and easy access to many east coast cities.

INDIAN BEACH, NORTH CAROLINA

Path. “It’s a quaint seaside East Coast town,” Wes says, “like a village, very family-oriented.”

The grand oceanfront estate on Indian Beach in North Carolina doesn’t have a formal name, but Prudential York Simpson Underwood broker Wes Minton figures it’s appropriate to call it the Jewel of the Atlantic Crystal Coast.

Just five-plus miles farther east is the slightly larger burg of Atlantic Beach. But while the urge for a dinner or an ice cream cone in town may hit, the Indian Beach estate’s chief asset is its privacy— perfect for everything from private family getaways to corporate entertaining. “The grounds are well-landscaped, manicured actually,” Wes says, “with a lot of walkways.”

“The estate looks right onto the Atlantic,” Wes says. “And as far as the East Coast of the United States is concerned, I don’t know how you could have a better view. The home gives you access to so much outdoor beauty. It has a lot of porches and patios. The home is in a private community, so you have the beach to yourself, probably a hundred yards of coastline—mixing vegetation and a white sandy beach.”

This 10,000-square-foot, seven-bedroom jewel of a mansion sits on three lots. Custom-built (completed in 2000), it has two large guest quarters attached. Amenities abound, everything from elevators to hot tub, swimming pool to outdoor grilling with an ocean vista.

Shops and restaurants are but a half-mile away in the town of Salter

The Crystal Coast has a more temperate climate than most places in the Southeast, with the mercury averaging in the mid 50s during winter and sea-breezy summer highs in the high 80s.

Looking at the size and breadth of the property from a sky view, it’s difficult to fathom that the property is listed at $7,950,000.

“There’s no way around it,” Wes says. “It’s incredibly priced.”

DISCOVER THE CAROLINAS WARRENTON, NORTH CAROLINA One night in 2007, Barry and Judy Hardman were watching a TV show about an old plantation house.

with five ponds. The Hardmans planned on moving their horse-breeding operation there. Sadly, after a series of deaths in the family, the couple abandoned the plan and now live and work in Texas.

The Elgin Plantation is for sale. List price $2,250,000.

“I’ve always wanted one of those,” Judy said.

“Let’s go buy one,” Barry replied.

So the couple—Barry, retired military; Judy, a geneticist who breeds show horses—hit the road from California, looking for their plantation home in Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia and elsewhere. They ended up just outside Warrenton in northeastern North Carolina, drove through an ornamental gate, up a gravel driveway and saw the stately white columns of the Federal-style house. “It just spoke to us,” Barry says of the property known as Elgin Plantation.

The 179-year-old home began as a working plantation. It was a dowry: 3,000 acres presented to Peter Mitchell by the wealthy father of Elizabeth Person in 1824. Today’s Elgin Plantation sits on 307 acres, half of it wooded, half pasture,

Barry and Judy are sad to let it go. Early during their ownership, Barry endeavored into a project. He went into Warrenton—“a beautiful little town with antique shops and restaurants”—to the county hall of records. “I wanted to find the plot of land, all the different structures, the slave cabins,” Barry says. “I assumed they had a graveyard for the slaves. I wanted to clean that up, show a little respect. Ultimately I couldn’t find that information.”

The Hardmans never moved into their lovely plantation home. “The longest we stayed there was a month,” Barry says, “enough to get the flavor of it. It was really superpeaceful. We’d sit on the back porch, have an adult beverage and watch the deer, wild turkey, all the wildlife out there. We’ll miss that.”

Spectacular Lakefront Estate

The striking gated entrance is the beginning of your journey toward a piece of heaven. Almost a mile of meandering drive through the woods and over the Thomas Kincaid inspired bridge sets the stage for the true beauty of this property. At journey始s end you are met with the most breathtaking views of the 500 acre Lake Benson, coupled with total privacy and seclusion. Situated on over 94 acres, within 10 minutes of downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, this is the canvas that brings inspiration to every artist.

The estate offer a luxurious Italian styled carriage house and additional homesites with stunning lake vistas for those who wish to build their own estate home. There is a monitored state of the art security system that allows the homeowner off site viewing capability via the internet. Abundant wildlife and towering century old oaks line the property from every angle. This estate is truly a paradise and a place of escape, relaxation and total privacy. There is no other property in North Carolina that compares.

MAGNIFICENT WATERFRONT Smith Mountain Lake’s 500-miles of shoreline provide ample places to purchase waterfront properties. “The homes here are different architectural styles,” Montgomery says. “There is everything from log homes to luxury townhomes or condominiums to exquisite upscale homes and everything in between.”

Low taxes and a low cost-of-living add to the attraction for luxury buyers looking to put down roots or purchase a vacation or second home.

A beautiful example of the area’s waterfront properties can be found in Moneta, Virginia’s prestigious Waverly neighborhood.

The $1.450-million, European-inspired home was designed by renowned architect, Donald Gardner. A perfect place for entertaining friends and family, the home’s many features include a gourmet kitchen, formal dining, and entertaining room. Each bedroom is a guest suite with its own full bath for privacy and comfort. An outdoor terrace overlooks the lake.

The 5,229-square-foot home boasts 102-feet of water frontage on Smith Mountain Lake. A private dock with a boathouse has a jet ski and boat lift.

Lake Rabun, Georgia Lake Rabun is a haven for those wanting to escape to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains but be within an easy two hour commute to Atlanta, Ga., Greenville, S.C., or Asheville, N.C. Its scenic 25 mile shoreline provides ample opportunity to meander along some of the most gorgeous lake country in northeast Georgia.

“We have a very strong sense of community, a 70 year tradition wooden boat regatta, and many activities throughout the summer that celebrate living here,” says Kay Whiten, realtor with Harry Norman Realtors. She and Julie Barnett, also of the same company have listed an exquisite new construction home on the lake.

“Bobcat Lodge was designed to fit into nature. We chose natural stone and a variety of wood to achieve a harmonious blend while retaining amenities expected by today’s families,” says Claude Rickman, the builder. ”It was designed to be very low maintenance with a lot of use—to make it easy to enjoy every minute here.”

MAGNIFICENT WATERFRONT Bobcat Lodge is one of the rare properties on Lake Rabun that is not on leased land. It features four master bedroom suites, five and one-half baths, open great room with chef’s kitchen, ten stone fireplaces, reclaimed timber, South American granite, Rocky Gap Virginia stacked rock, Honduran pine, walnut, wormy chestnut custom cabinetry and custom lighting and fixtures.

A two-stall covered boathouse with fireplace and deck, large terrace and mature landscaping complement the home.

With the exception of shoreline homes, Lake Rabun is surrounded by U.S. Forestry land and has very clean, pristine water.

There are many waterfalls within a short hike from the shore.

“It seems that once you go to Lake Rabun, you’re drawn back.

We have many fourth generation residents who own or build homes here. It’s a wonderful place to be,” says Whiten.

Laguna Beach, California Take a break from the hustle and bustle and glitz and glamour of Los Angeles by heading an hour south to Laguna Beach, a small town with a huge arts influence. Over three million people vacation to Laguna each year, but only 25,000 can call it their home.

“Laguna has the best beaches, the best weather, the best restaurants and the best shopping,” says Lee Ann Canaday of the Canaday Group and Broker/owner of RE/MAX Fine Homes. “On top of that, we have a great arts community.” Lee Ann says Laguna Beach is a haven for artists, especially during the summer when the Festival of Arts and the Pageant of the Masters start, which have been part of their community since 1932.

www.duPontREGISTRY.com

Since Laguna Beach covers seven miles of coastline, the majority of homes are seated on or across from the beach, like the Hershey Estate, which Lee Ann represents. The late chocolatemanufacturer Milton Hershey used it as his vacation home.

The 5,800-square-foot estate boasts six bedrooms, including a home theater, and six bathrooms, while the living room, dining room and master bedroom all have balconies to enjoy breathtaking views of the Pacific.

When the estate underwent a major renovation in 2001, limestone flooring was used throughout the home, and the custommade gourmet kitchen was decorated with limestone counters, hand-carved edges and hand-painted murals. The addition of its 4-car garage during these renovations makes the estate stand apart from others Lee Ann says, because “you’d never get that much parking in this area.”

Other perks of the Hershey Estate include being within walking distance from the beach and the Village of Laguna Beach where all the restaurants and shops are located, and Lee Ann believes that just adds to the relaxing lifestyle.

“Living here is like you’re constantly on vacation.”

Cayman Islands

Beautiful beaches are the hallmark of the Cayman Islands. A popular destination for tourists from around the world, the Cayman Islands offers the best in world-class amenities and a plethora of outdoor activities. Consisting of three islands— Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman—the Cayman Islands are blessed with an abundance of natural beauty.

www.duPontREGISTRY.com

One of the largest financial centers in the world, the Cayman Islands is also known for its banking and investment funds.

“The Cayman Islands boasts a vibrant community of both full and part-time residents who are successful businesspeople, investors, and entrepreneurs,” says Malin Ratcliffe, owner/broker with West Indies Brokers in Grand Cayman.

Numerous tax advantages make living in the Cayman Islands attractive for luxury buyers and include no direct property, inheritance, gift, corporation, capital gains, value added, sales or income tax. A one-time stamp duty is the only thing real estate buyers are required to pay.

“The natural beauty of the Cayman Islands combined with a stable government, affluent population, and sophisticated infrastructure has contributed to making it one of the region’s strongest real estate markets,” says Ratcliffe. “Its twin pillars of finance and tourism allow the Cayman Islands to be the safest, most affluent in the Caribbean.” Located an hour south of Miami, the Cayman Islands is easily accessible via direct air lift and jet service.

Old Robin Point on Grand Cayman is home to Twin Coves Estate, a waterfront property of unparalleled beauty. The nearly two-acre oceanside estate has a unique topography; an impressive 334-feet of ocean frontage and two pure sand coves. Situated twenty-eight-feet above sea level, the home’s elevation provide breathtaking water views.

The property consists of a Georgian-style grand residence with 9,500-square-feet of living space and a 5,500-square-foot guest residence. Its extensive list of amenities includes a wood-clad library, alabaster and onyx finishes, and a stained glass ceiling cupola.

MAGNIFICENT WATERFRONT Fort Lauderdale, Florida An extensive system of canals and waterways has earned Fort Lauderdale the moniker, “Venice of the Americas.” Boaters from around the world flock to Fort Lauderdale, giving the area a cosmopolitan feel. “The growth of Fort Lauderdale by boaters has been driven by its deep-water access to the Atlantic Ocean and beyond,” says Julie Jones, Broker Associate with Premier Estate Properties in Fort Lauderdale.

The area’s considerable amount of waterways provides ample opportunities to purchase a waterfront property. Original 1950s bungalows reside alongside multi-million dollars estates.

Spanish- and Mediterranean-style architecture dominate here, but contemporary home styles can also be found. “The demand for waterfront properties is driven by the size of the buyer’s boat, which determines the size of the water frontage needed,” says Jones. “For example, an eighty-foot vessel will need a residence with 100-feet of water frontage on a deep-water canal.”

Jones’ waterways expertise ensures that buyers will find the right property to accommodate their particular vessel. She represents properties ranging from $1-million to $10-million. An example of one of Jones’ listings, an entry-level deepwater residence, can be found in the Los Olas section of Fort Lauderdale. The $1.595million ranch was built in the 1970s and has 100-feet of water frontage.

Los Olas is also home to one of Fort Lauderdale’s most sought-after waterfront properties, a point lot estate located on the Intracoastal Waterway and Rio Placid Canal. “A point lot estate has water on two sides of the property, allowing you to dock your boat on one side and enjoy unobstructed water views on the other,” says Jones. “These properties are the most desirable to boaters and there are only fifty in Fort Lauderdale.”

The $9.999-million Mediterranean-style estate has over 300-feet of water frontage. Its impressive list of amenities includes a home theater, wine room, and a club room with media and game area as well as a bar.

THE NORTHEAST

By Nicole Lauber and Eric Snider

The Northeast has been the hub of history for the United States, and has since been a place for people from all over the world to come to. It was in this region where the pilgrims first settled in 1620, and where the Declaration of Independence was signed approximately 150 years later.

Though Portsmouth, New Hampshire is a quaint town, its history is not—it was here that Paul Revere rode through warning that the British were coming. Take a short road trip down to the coast of Connecticut to Stonington, a small-yet-now-diverse city, to learn about the history of the first settlers in the area—Portuguese fishermen.

Geographically, the wide variety of landscapes caters to all Northeasterners: There are hills to sled on, mountains to ski on, lakes to swim in, and beaches to relax on.

Whether you’re staying or just visiting, the Northeast is rich in history and diversity.

STONINGTON, CONNECTICUT

74

About a year ago, Michael Blair opened a boutique, high-end real estate office—Hunter Moore & Stearns—in the historic coastal village of Stonington in southeastern Connecticut. He did so with some special credentials: Michael had been mayor of the village from 1987–1992. Interestingly, one of his agents was mayor for eight years and is currently a Connecticut state senator. Born out of these experiences came the company motto, “A Tradition in Service,” which captures the company’s approach to clients and the community at large.

As it turns out, there’s a lot to like. Just a two-and-a-half hour drive from New York City, and due north of Montauk on Long Island’s eastern tip, Stonington is part of a ten-mile stretch of classic New England villages that includes Groton Long Point, Noank, Mystic, and Mason’s Island. Stonington began as a fishing village populated by Portuguese, and over the years has become increasingly diverse while maintaining ties to its history. “We like the mix of fishermen, weekenders, yearrounders, and people taking refuge from New York City,” Michael explains. “There are still affordable homes. It’s not exclusively high-end. It all adds to the fabric of the community.”

“We can speak with authority,” Michael says. “We are part of the fabric of the community. We live here; we’ve raised our families here, and we know what’s special and unique about the area.”

One of Hunter Moore & Stearns’ more charming properties is just five minutes out of town on scenic Al Harvey Road. The small country estate—four bedrooms, four baths—sits on 7.6

THE NORTHEAST undulating acres. The property, framed by original field stone walls, features a quaint post-and-beam barn boasting a lower workshop area and a loft space perfect for parties. Completed in 2007, the home “was designed in the style of an older farmhouse colonial,” Michael says. “But it has all the modern amenities and conveniences. This as well as a host of other new or historic homes are available to be shown by our knowledgeable group.”

PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE Given Portsmouth, New Hampshire’s nautical tradition, impeccably preserved architecture and mixture of small-town feel and upscale culture, it’s no wonder that the National Trust for Historic Preservation named the city one of its “Dozen Distinctive Destinations.”

A visit to the Historic Strawberry Banke Museum will trace a nearly 375-year history of this seacoast town. Want more history? In 1774, Paul Revere rode to Portsmouth warning that the British were coming.

Today’s Portsmouth is quaint but classy, just 45 minutes from Boston, Portland, Maine and Manchester, New Hampshire. Portsmouth has a busy summer tourist season, but is also a year-round city. “It’s very much a walking town,” says Martha Baroody, a real estate specialist for Paul McInnis, Inc., a local real estate company serving the greater seacoast for almost 30 years. “There are restaurants and bars on the waterfront; the tugboats and ships that navigate through the river are truly amazing. You can sit near the water and look out across the Piscataqua River and there’s Maine. It’s a very lively waterfront.”

Paul McInnis, Inc. has begun marketing a highly appealing, yet-to-be-built condominium development that will let its residents take full advantage of everything the lovely town has to offer—including museums, parks and events—all within a leisurely stroll. The condos are also a short drive to the Rye beaches, the plush Wentworth by the Sea Hotel and the Wentworth Marina in New Castle, New Hampshire.

Pier II, as the four-unit project is called, sits right on the water and each unit includes two parking spaces. A private dock space is an option for homeowners. “The waterfront residences will range from about 2,100 to 3,500 square feet each,” Martha says. “And it will be raw space, which is exciting for people because they can effectively design their own living space. Homeowners can use our construction team and architects—or use their own, as long as they follow certain guidelines.”

Pier II’s plans include a common rooftop deck for residents, equipped with a kitchenette and bar and flanked by lush green gardens. Martha says, “Pier II would be perfect home for someone looking for maintenance-free living in downtown Portsmouth.”

History, Culture and Outdoor Fun

By Cathleen McCann, Nicole Lauber, Eric Snider

L

Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains where the Swannanoa River and the French Broad River meet, Asheville, N.C. is the largest city in Western North Carolina. With a population of 83,000, Asheville is continually growing. Many who become new residents of Asheville are drawn to the beautiful mountain views and subtropical climate, as well as the small business market that the city is known for. In 2007, Frommer’s Cities Ranked and Rated named Asheville one of the top seven places to live in the United States, and the city was listed #23 out of 200 on Forbes’ list of best metro areas for business and careers.

The city is also rich in history, culture and outdoor activities. The Biltmore Estate, the largest privately-owned home in the United States, is located right outside the city, and the architecture of buildings in the downtown area is well-known for its Art Deco style. Live music, whitewater kayaking, and mountain biking are favorite pastimes of residents and visitors.

Travel thirty minutes south of Asheville, and you’ll find yourself in a town that’s much less-populated, but just as beautiful.

Hendersonville is located on the southern end of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is home to approximately 13,000 people. Outdoor activities, such as fishing and hiking, are prevalent in the community, as are the seven historic districts in Hendersonville.

With great weather, beautiful sceneries, a variety of activities to choose from, and a great place to start a business venture, Ashville and Hendersonville are putting themselves on the map. right: The Biltmore Estate is the largest privately-owned home in the United States.

ASHEVILLE AND HENDERSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA

Mountain-Style Luxury Set among the Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains in Western North Carolina, Asheville made its mark as a premier luxury destination when George Vanderbilt built the Biltmore Estate over 100 years ago. People from around the world have flocked to Asheville ever since to soak up its breathtaking natural beauty and thriving arts scene.

Often ranked as one of the best places in the country to buy a second home, Asheville is a picturesque town full of history and innovation. “The eclectic, easy lifestyle is the most fascinating piece of Western North Carolina,” says Debbie Williams, executive vice president with Beverly-Hanks & Associates in Asheville, North Carolina. “Asheville is a very sophisticated small town without the headaches that often accompany a large metropolitan area.” Its mountain culture remains, yet pairs nicely with the latest in modern technology.

Historic downtown Asheville is notable for its Art Deco buildings and its vibrant cultural scene, which includes many arts and entertainment venues and fine dining restaurants. Hendersonville, a charming town located thirty-miles from Asheville, is another popular place to live. “Hendersonville has retained its small town feel,” says Williams. “The historic shops on the pedestrian main street have been preserved and remain the cultural focus for the community.”

A beautiful example of the area’s offerings can be found on Prickly Briar Road in the prestigious Champion Hills luxury golf community in the Blue Ridge Mountains, just minutes from historic Hendersonville’s downtown. The community boasts a top-ranked Tom Fazio-designed golf course. www.duPontREGISTRY.com

VISIT ASHEVILLE AND HENDERSONVILLE The $1.790-million Cotswold-inspired home is a perfect blend with the Blue Ridge Mountain-style home. Situated on over an acre of a private, wooded knoll, the property includes the 3,290square-foot home, a separate stone artist/potting cottage with running water, and a spacious stone summer kitchen pavilion.

The pavilion boasts a large stone wood burning fireplace, and a striking antler chandelier. The perfect entertainment spot, the pavilion’s conveniences include a built-in grill, smoker, sink, and refrigerator.

Asheville, North Carolina If you’re looking for business opportunities, looking for a career, looking for a second home, looking for an active retirement, looking for a weekend getaway, looking for an arts destination, looking for great microbrews, if you’re looking for adventure— you can hardly do better than Asheville. The city of 83,000 surrounded by the Blue Ridge and Smokey Mountains in western North Carolina routinely makes lists of superlatives for best places to live from the likes of Barron’s, Forbes and U.S. News and World Report.

Or you can ask the natives—natives who sell real estate in and around Asheville. Jo Chandler, Laura Livaudais and LeNoir Medlock all grew up in Asheville and all are agents at Preferred Properties of Asheville. Furthermore, while the women handle properties throughout Buncombe County, they each specialize in the neighborhoods where they grew up.

ASHEVILLE AND HENDERSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA

“I have lived in some other great places and had the opportunity to sell real estate in Vail, Colorado,” says Laura. “But Asheville has so much to offer. I feel grateful to have the opportunity to raise my children in such a wonderful place.”

Laura Livaudais grew up in Lakeview Park, just north of downtown, where she has several listings. The neighborhood was established in the 1920s and features a variety of architectural styles, from original homes to mid-century moderns to new constructions. She’s especially fond of a 1957 home on 2.5 acres with a waterfall in the backyard. “It has an understated wow factor,” Laura says. “The property just takes your breath away.”

LeNoir Medlock comes from Grove Park, also just north of downtown, and established in the early 1900s. “This neighborhood is what developer-designed areas copy,” she says. “You can walk down to the bookstore or the wine store and it’s your neighbor who owns it.”

She’s listing a 5,000-square-foot home near Grove Park’s Donald Ross-designed golf course, with a view of Sunset Mountain. The 1940s three-storey traditional is an elegant example of Asheville's quality craftsmanship and artistry. LeNoir takes pride in Asheville’s diversity. “People from lots of different parts of the country bring their culture here,” she says. “It’s a real open-minded, live-and-let-live city.”

You’ll have to head just south of downtown to experience Jo Chandler’s neighborhood of Biltmore Forest, an incorporated

township. It, too, is historic, established in the early 1920s.

“The place really has a story and a soul,” Jo says. “It evolved over time. Generations have raised their families here. There are homes of every vintage and style. There’s a nice balance of seclusion and convenience. It’s on the land that the Vanderbilts used for the Biltmore Estate.”

One of Jo’s favorite listings is a grand and distinctive English Tudor built in 1922, one of Biltmore Forest’s first “mansions.” The sunny rooms have a lovely flow and feature four fireplaces and delightful nooks and crannies.

“The home lives just as elegantly as it did in 1922,” Jo says.

“It was special then. It’s even more special now.”
