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 $900- milliondollar shopping, dining and entertainment venue.”

cultural enthusiast. The brownstone community affords homeowners 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

A BUYERS GALLERY of FINE HOMES®

PUBLISHER’S LETTER Dear Readers, Thoughts of summer vacations and a more relaxed lifestyle fill our heads as the school year ends and the warmer weather beckons us to enjoy the outdoors.

For those of you who are fortunate enough to be in the market for a summer home, we have several features this month to fulfill your desires.

Our WATERFRONT LIVING section discusses four outstanding properties.

To start with, there is a free-standing condo at the Bath Club on Miami Beach with rare privacy, club amenities and breathtaking views. The second property is a home on Montebello Road in Cupertino set 50 feet above the fog line with spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay and the privacy of 11 acres of land including a guesthouse, barn, artist studio and garage. Third, is a lush sanctuary in Kent Island, Maryland, just across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge from Annapolis. The last piece takes us back to Miami, to a special part of South Beach called Star Island. The property is called Villa Stella, with a mixture of Balinese, Southwestern, African and other motifs.

Continuing with the theme of waterfront, the FEATURED PROPERTY on page 22, is Elegance Among Nature—a beautiful estate on Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia. The property features 340 feet of shoreline, broad-water views, 6,700 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, four and one-half baths, with exquisite detailing and much more. A second FEATURED PROPERTY on page 12, is La Maison Des Deux Fleurs on Sisters Bay, Wisconsin. With a Frank Lloyd Wright influence, strong nautical elements, and a natural setting, this property is one of 32 estates located within Marshall’s Point—a 1,000-acre peninsula with home sites boasting a minimum of ten acres each.

You also won’t want to miss the MARKET INSIGHT editorials. The first features Montecito, California in Live a Luxurious Lifestyle in “The American Riviera,” and the second features Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania in Mountain Views.

If you are in the market to remodel your home instead of purchasing a new one, be sure to read about the Top Ten Dining Rooms on page 18.

I hope you enjoy all of this month’s duPont REGISTRY A Buyers Gallery of Fine Homes®. As usual, if you have any questions about advertising in our magazine, subscribing to our magazine, getting on our web site, or even finding a retailer that sells any of our magazines, please contact me directly at TLDUPONT@DUPONTREGISTRY.COM.

LA MAISON DES DEUX FLEURS Sister Bay, Wisconsin | $12,900,000

S

tep outside the La Maison de Deux Fleurs estate in Marshall’s Point, Wisconsin and all you’ll hear is the wind in the trees, the waves lapping on the shore of Lake Michigan and the calls of wildlife. No traffic, no hum of civilization.

That sense of serenity—and supreme privacy—is what beckons people to Marshall’s Point, a private, gated community of 32 homesites near the northeastern tip of the fabled Door County peninsula. Each waterfront property contains a minimum of 10 acres—La Maison de Deux Fleu features 21—and the owners share nearly 600 acres of preserved wilderness in the community’s interior, which also includes a winter skating rink, tennis court, horse stable and ample trails for hiking and cross-country skiing.

The elegant 10,000-square-foot home is carved into a sumptuous cloak of cedar forest. Nearby is the property’s 740 feet of rustic shoreline. “The house was designed to fit into the landscape, not to stand out as an ostentatious mega-house,” says Tricia Cramer 12

FEATURED PROPERTY

of Premier Door County Properties, who is co-brokering the sale with Marilyn Hoffman of Hoffman International Properties. “It’s fairly elongated, designed to mostly face out to the water.”

Renowned architect Richard Bos designed the home to reflect the owner’s love of yachting. “The interior is reminiscent of a hull of a ship,” Tricia says, “with steel framing and open-beam ceilings.” It’s also asymmetrical, with lots of graceful curves and geometric shapes (the library is octagonal). “In some homes you walk into dead-ends, whereas this house flows from one space to another,” Tricia explains.

Two corridors flank the stunning rotunda, one leading to the lavish master suite, the other to a lovely guest suite. All of the home’s mechanicals are routed underground, adding to its uncluttered, pristine air.

While privacy is paramount on Marshall’s Point, the home is not far from amenities: country clubs, restaurants, stores and the Door Peninsula’s rich arts tradition in quaint towns like Fish Creek, Sister Bay and Ephraim. “We prize our wilderness in Door County,” Tricia says, “but we have a full cultural life here as well.” www.duPontREGISTRY.com

Placed to take advantage of magnificent views of Smith Mountain as it rises dramatically from the Nestled on a point on scenic Smith Mountain Lake in southwestern Virginia is a home designed to bring the elegance of nature into everyday experience. Placed to take advantage of magnificent views of Smith Mountain as it rises dramatically from the lake, this home offers privacy, lakeside amenities and a gracious lifestyle for the discerning buyer.

“I designed the home to be very welcoming, with a casual elegance,” says Anne Cook. She and her husband Bill own the property. “I’m an interior designer and I made sure that very high quality finishes were used throughout the house.”

The home features 340 feet of shoreline, broad water views, 6,700 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, four and one-half baths, two fireplaces, gourmet kitchen, sun porch, home theater, two home offices/day rooms, a large family room and upper and lower two-stall garages. Exquisite detailing includes deep crown molding, 16-foot ceilings, exotic granite, Jerusalem stone, exotic Brazilian walnut hardwood floors, thoughtfully placed arch entrances, Jurassic-period green Brazilian granite in the master bath, and numerous architectural accents. A two-boat covered boathouse, entertainment dock and terrace complement the home.

“Smith Mountain Lake is heaven on earth. We have a very strong sense of community. People from all over have discovered this beautiful place and made it home,” Anne says.

“One of the things that appealed to me is that as I neared retirement, I wanted to be in a place where there are people who have come out of business and have similar educational backgrounds. Smith Mountain Lake has a large early-retirement group who stay involved in consulting and are active in the community,” says Bill.

Smith Mountain Lake is surrounded by shopping, dining, healthcare and outdoor activities. It is near Roanoke, Virginia with direct flights to major U.S. cities. The Cook’s home is represented by Leslie Becker, Broker of Smith Mountain Lake Properties.

MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA LIVE A LUXURIOUS LIFESTYLE IN “THE AMERICAN RIVIERA”

Grand estates, stunning ocean and mountain views, and a mild sunny climate all come together to make this Pacific coastal community irresistible. Historic elegance, lush countryside, and spectacular ocean vistas contribute to the enormous appeal of Montecito real estate.

Montecito is a small community 90 miles up the coast from Los Angeles, framed by coastal mountains and broad, white beaches. White Mediterranean homes with red tile roofs, bougainvillea covered stone walls, wrought-iron gates, palm lined drives, courtyard cafes, collectable cars and smart boutiques, all mixed with a casual but refined lifestyle, characterize Montecito.

This is the perfect place to raise a family, where the weather is ideal, the air clean and the schools, beaches and parks are healthy, enjoyable environments—a place rich with leisure and recreational pursuits.

Most new residents are first introduced to our community while on holiday, as was the case many years ago when wealthy Eastern families discovered Montecito in the late 1800s. Huge estates were created as wintering spots, and by the 1920s there were more millionaires per acre in Montecito than anywhere else in our country. Today these fine

homes are being renovated with the care they deserve, and some of our most charming small homes started their lives at the turn of the century as modest gardener’s cottages to these estates.

Our Montecito real estate is more than enchanting: the magnetism of this quiet coastal community is absolutely intoxicating. Like an island where troubles and worries are left on the mainland, Montecito lulls its inhabitants into a peaceful state of mind, which translates into being purely focused on enjoying some of life’s genuine pleasures: ocean breezes, warm sunshine, good food, and fine wine. Montecito real estate includes an impressive array of estates, many of which were inspired by homes of the south of France, Spain, and Italy—where the similar climate is due to our sharing one of the few east west shorelines in temperate latitudes.

His past professional involvement in international marketing has served him well in managing the sale of estate properties.

WATERFRONT LIVING

Waterfront

Living stimulates all five senses.

By Eric Snider

W

Waterfront living stimulates all five senses. Picture gazing out over the shoreline while hearing the waves lap against the beach as you breath in fresh sea air and feel the breeze waft over your skin.

This omni-sensory immersion brings peace of mind, relaxation, happiness, creativity and overall wellness. No wonder so many people’s dream homes border the water. Of course, it’s not a dream attained by just anyone. That’s what makes waterfront living so special.

32

WATERFRONT LIVING

Residing on the shoreline also means, for the most part, that your home is a treasure, with myriad creature comforts and features that maximize its location. Docks, decks, lanais, balconies, bay windows—all of them enhance the waterfront lifestyle. The remarkable homes featured in this issue, located in some of the most renowned waterfront communities in the world, all have some combination of these luxuries and more.

WATERFRONT LIVING MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA “If you lived at Villa 6 at the Bath Club,” says Diane Lieberman of South Beach Investment Realty, “you could skip the valet, drive into the garage to two parking spaces right at your house, go in your back door, up your elevator and into your own bed without anyone seeing you.”

Ah, privacy—rare for Miami Beach condo living. Villa 6 is one of the most special properties on the fabled stretch of sand. For starters it’s the only single-family, oceanfront home on Miami Beach. Situated between the main Bath Club condominium building and the water, it’s one of six such villas. But while the other five share a wall, Villa 6 is free standing. Privacy.

And … you get the whole Bath Club condominium package: spa,

gym, concierge, beach service, tennis, everything. Talk about the best of both worlds. And then there are the views—breathtaking vistas out on the Atlantic Ocean and up and down the Beach. “It’s really a unique combination,” Diane says. “It’s one of the best properties on Miami Beach.”

Location? Glamorous, neon-lit South Beach is but a short cab ride away. If you’re staying home or entertaining, the tri-level, 5,700-square-foot, 5-bedroom home has its own private pool, a gourmet kitchen, third-floor game room, exercise room and two resplendent balconies. There’s a kitchen attached to the master bedroom, just in case you need some extra ice cubes for your Scotch. Villa 6, built in 2006, has been completely renovated and decorated by a well-known interior designer.

Homey and hip—and right on Miami Beach. Villa 6, Diane says, “is for the person who has everything.”

WATERFRONT LIVING SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA On mornings when the fog spills onto San Francisco Bay, a sense of isolated stillness resounds through the Craftsman home on Montebello Road that’s truly magical. “The home is about 50 feet above the fog line,” says agent Caroline Stavjanik of the Fiducia Group at Intero Real Estate Services. “You might wake up to complete seclusion.”

These moments of peace are vital in the high-pressure, driven lifestyle that comes with calling Silicon Valley home. “You get this wonderful privacy, surrounded by old oaks, which open up to incredible views,” Caroline says.

“You can drive up to the house [in Cupertino] from the heart of Silicon Valley in about 15 minutes, but the psychological distance from work is priceless. People around here work in very demanding fields and they like coming home to tranquility.”

The house is a luxurious enclave in every respect, managing a sublime blend of elegance and hominess. The vaulted ceiling in the Great Room is constructed of rich wood, as are the floors. A nearly wall-sized window offers enchanting views of San Francisco Bay, the Pinnacles National Monument and miles and miles of undulating hills.

The property’s more than 11 acres include a separate guesthouse, a horse path, a barn, an artist studio and a garage. Should the mood strike to entertain, the private driveway leads to parking for up to 40 cars. The Great Room’s impeccable acoustics are perfect for intimate musical performances.

Caroline says Silicon Valley has experienced a real estate surge. “It exploded last year,” she says. “We were hit with a downturn like everyone else, but not hit as bad as most. People were waiting for the other shoe to drop, then, interestingly, you look at what happened in the Middle East and the economy at large, and international buyers felt safer having their money in U.S. real estate in Silicon Valley. It is an incredible time for buyers and sellers in our valley.”

WATERFRONT LIVING KENT ISLAND, MARYLAND In one of the most densely populated areas of the country, right in the heart of northeastern Maryland, sits a lush sanctuary that captures the romance of resort-style waterfront living. It’s known as Kent Island, a short drive from Washington D.C. and Baltimore, and just across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge from quaint, historic Annapolis.

There’s something about that bridge. Long & Foster Real Estate agent Michele Sinclair, who lives on Kent Island, describes it thusly: “I’ve heard this statement over and over: ‘A change comes over me when I cross that bridge. I breathe easier. I know I’m home.’”

In many cases, home on Kent Island means a luxurious enclave with pool, dock and often a private sandy beach. And so it is with one of the jewels in Michele’s portfolio: a gated waterfront estate on 2.6 acres on the island’s northwest side. The home, in Stevensville, sits on the vast shores of Chesapeake Bay, “Just about everything revolves around the water,” Michele says. For Kent Island residents, it’s just a short boat ride for a four-star

dinner at exclusive St. Michaels, home to Cheney and other prominent politicians, and even a few movie stars.

Kent Island’s march to luxury began in earnest about 15 years ago when huge estates and waterfront communities with private marinas and golf courses cropped up. “Many of the communities are made up of peninsulas, surrounded by water,” Michele says. “About 10-20 percent are second homes. A lot of people built second homes here and then decided to make it their primary residence.”

One look out over the Chesapeake Bay from the home on Blue Bay Road in Stevensville makes it crystal clear why. And then there’s the impressive interior, which blends class, luxury and livability. “The house is embellished with inspiring intricate details,” Michele explains. “There is tray ceiling after tray ceiling, creating a telescopic effect. Many of the rooms have private balconies overlooking the water, the pool and abundant water fowl.”

Everywhere you look there’s a sumptuous view accompanied by the smell of fresh sea air. Breathe easy.

SOUTH BEACH, MIAMI Is there a more aptly named community in the world than Star Island? The prestigious enclave, a few steps across the causeway from glitzy South Beach in Miami, is a favored home spot for all manner of celebrities. Madonna, Shaquille O’Neal, Alex Rodriguez, Will Smith, Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Sean Combs, Sylvester Stallone, Lenny Kravitz and Rose O’Donnell all live, or have lived, on Star Island. Al Capone and Harvey Firestone were past residents. Sometimes it’s a home itself that’s the star, such as the house that provided the location for the film Scarface.

You want to talk exclusive? There are only 35 home sites on the island.

Great Estates Broker Sylvia Fragos, who handles a lot of real estate dealings for celebs, currently has a listing on Star Island that’s owned by a famed shoe designing couple (who shall remain nameless, discretion being paramount in celebrity real estate dynamics). It’s called Villa Stella, and when you step through the gates you are transported into a sanctuary, where the first thing you notice is the color: a vivid, brilliant blue.

“It’s the only one of that color in Miami,” Sylvia says. “There’s a flow of energy through the house that starts with the front gate, followed by a keyhole shape through the front door, which flows through the interior and out to the keyhole-shaped pool.

The brilliant blue color signified to the owners a life energy tying in with the water and the sky. Stella means ‘star’ in Italian.”

The stunning estate’s interior is eclectic but cohesive—a mixture of Balinese, Southwestern, African and other motifs that beautifully complement the neutral color palette. Exotic but consummately livable. “Among the outstanding features are the hand-painted skylights and murals that look like inlaid marble on the ceiling,” Sylvia says. “You can stare at them and swear it’s stoned ingrained in the wall.”

Villa Stella’s listing at $24 million is not a trial balloon. “The owners are moving to the West Coast,” Sylvia says. “It’s definitely not a ‘let’s put it on sale and see what happens’ scenario.” left: Villa Stella is a stunning Star Island estate located a few steps across the causeway from South Beach. www.duPontREGISTRY.com

Villa Stella 29 STAR ISLAND, MIAMI BEACH, FL

DRAMATIC MOROCCAN ARCHITECTURE highlights this home's expansive exterior and interior spaces.

The interior's light color palette showcases 30 foot ceilings with hand painted skylights and murals by renowned muralist Yves Lanthier. The residence is unique for its sense of warmth and intimacy. The ingeniously versatile 2-story floor plan home offers a Master Suite, Guest suites and Staff quarters. The salt water pool and bayside gazebo with a relaxation bed and summer kitchen offer views across the bay to South Beach. 100 feet of waterfront has docking for a yacht and jet skis. State of the art Smart Home System includes security cameras 24/7, and Audio/Visual systems.

There’s something about water that soothes and calms. It draws us to itself time and again. While the ocean awes us with power and mystery, and rivers mesmerize with their continual life-flow—lakes stand before us and remind us to simply be. We play, relax, and immerse ourselves in their inviting waters. It’s no surprise then that owning a lakefront property is often high on our priority and dream lists. Luxury lakefront homes are as unique as the lakes they neighbor. They offer tranquility, peace, fun and a strong history of drawing families together. In the end, lakefront homes are where we go to remember what matters.

Consider a lake home as you search for just that right place. Add a lake home to your portfolio. Not only will your family reap the rewards, you’ll be investing in property known for its ability to weather economic storms.

LAKEFRONT LIVING TELLICO LAKE, TENNESSEE There are many activities on and around Tellico Lake near the Smoky Mountains in east Tennessee, but RE/MAX at the Lake Real Estate Broker Jim Davis describes one of his favorites: “Tellico Lake has about 400 miles of shoreline, with many, many coves.

We enjoy getting together with four, five or six boats, tie off in one of the coves, open a bottle of wine, put a steak on the grill and enjoy an evening with friends. It’s wonderful.”

Tellico Reservoir, as it is officially named, was the last project undertaken by the historic Tennessee Valley Authority, part of FDR’s New Deal. It was completed in 1979.

In the mid to late 1980s, development picked up pace in Tellico Lake, and these days the bucolic body of water is surrounded by golf communities, upscale retirement areas and waterfront estates.

One of Tellico Lake’s most prestigious neighborhoods is Rarity Pointe, where Jim has listed a breathtaking, 8272-square-foot English country manor home built in 2009.

It’s brimming with state-of-the-art features and amenities: an exquisite design using natural stone and brick; a gourmet kitchen with Viking appliances; a finished lake level with a full kitchen and indoor and outdoor fireplaces; a media room with stadium seating and a 92-inch screen; and much more. “The home has views of Tellico Lake’s sparkling water with the Great Smoky Mountains as a backdrop,” Jim says. “You can see a golf course unfolding in the distance. Breathtaking.”

Tellico Lake’s mid-south location makes it a year-round community. “We have people in Florida who come up for the summer,” Jim says. “We have residents we call ‘halfbacks,’ people from the upper Midwest who might’ve bought a home in Florida but realized it was a two-day drive back to see the kids and grandkids. They realized the Tellico Lake communities are only a one-day drive instead of a two-day drive. We have some second-home owners, but the community is vibrant year-round.”

LAKEFRONT LIVING BUTLER CHAIN OF LAKES, FLORIDA Central Florida’s hottest properties today are also the rarest to find: single family homes that offer both golf and waterfront lifestyles. For those who want the best of both worlds, this Bay Hill Tuscan manor is the perfect opportunity. Located in the Arnold Palmer Bay Hill golf community it features 100 feet of shorefront on Lake Tibet of the famed Butler Chain of Lakes.

“From this house you can jump on your golf cart and literally be on the golf course in minutes, relaxing at the spa, enjoying a game of tennis, or outback enjoying the lake,” says Chris Christensen, owner/broker of Regal Real Estate Professionals in Orlando.

Arnold Palmer lives in Bay Hill, which is one of the most prestigious communities on the 11 lakes that make up the Butler Chain.

exquisite detailing. Features include a gourmet chef’s kitchen, spacious master suite with sitting lounge, second master suite upstairs with large covered veranda overlooking the lake, home theater with flex space, custom cabinetry, granite surfaces, and travertine marble floors. A lakefront lagoon pool, covered boat dock with electric boat lift, sand beach area, summer kitchen and large covered area for entertaining complement the home. Within walking distance are the Bay Hill Golf Course club dining, spa, salon, fitness center, and tennis courts.

“During the downturn, lakefront property was the most resilient and has not lost a lot of value. From a lifestyle standpoint, this home has everything possible to offer. Two of the highest demand amenities in Central Florida are golf and waterfront. This house has both. It’s very rare and only a few communities in the area offer both in a single home,” Christensen says.

The home features palatial 24-foot ceilings, expansive lake views from every room, 6,000 square feet of living space with

LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE, NEW HAMPSHIRE Those unfamiliar with lakefront living in New Hampshire might envision the winter as a scene right out of The Shining. Not so, says Coldwell Banker realtor Susan Bradley, who deals in properties around lovely Lake Winnipesaukee, about two hours north of Boston.

also enjoy plenty of New England-style Americana. Governors Island in Gilford is an outstanding private association. “In Meredith and Wolfeboro, there are beautiful shops, restaurants and bookstores,” Susan says, her voice with a euphoric lilt. “Sometimes we’ll go by boat to dinner in the early evening and take the grandkids for ice cream afterward. It’s a very casual, comfortable, understated area.”

“Yes, our winters are long and they are cold and there’s a lot of snow,” she says, “But there are so many wonderful activities. The lake freezes, so in winter you see cars on the ice, ice fishermen, snowmobiles, cross-country skiers. It’s a healthy, robust environment. We’re not far from snow skiing in the White Mountains and the Belknap Mountains. There are ice hockey tournaments on the frozen lake in Meredith Bay.”

Over the years, homes on Lake Winnipesaukee have become increasingly high-end. One such property in Susan’s portfolio is a 9,100-squarefoot lakefront country estate in Wolfeboro, with a main home and a four-bedroom guesthouse. Situated on three lots, it features 517 feet of water frontage, and has two U-shaped docks and a sandy beach.

Summers are wonderful. Most days reach around 80 degrees, perfect for recreation. The 72-square-mile lake, dotted with more than 200 islands, is spring-fed, crystal clear. People summering on the lake can 102 LAKEFRONT LIVING

LAKEFRONT LIVING 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.”

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.

LAKEFRONT LIVING SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE, VIRGINIA It’s often called the “Lake Tahoe of the East.” The large reservoir known as Smith Mountain Lake in southwestern Virginia has, since its creation in the 1960s, evolved from a body of water surrounded by tobacco farms and trailer parks to a playground featuring country clubs and luxury estates. Smith Mountain Lake, with its four distinct but temperate seasons and picturesque landscape, has become one of the most desirable lakefront destinations in the eastern U.S. “The lake has 500 miles of gorgeous shoreline,” says agent Vicki Millehan of Prudential Waterfront Properties. “You have Smith Mountain as a backdrop. It’s a spectacular view. You can watch the sun come up or the moon come up over the mountain. It’s a natural lifestyle, family-oriented, slower-paced. You get this amazing tranquility from being on such a lovely body of water.”

Say an itch for city life strikes. Roanoke is less than an hour away and Richmond is a three-hour scenic drive.

While certainly a second-home haven and vacation getaway, Smith Mountain Lake is “getting more and more full-time residents,” Vicki

says. “The season runs from April to October/November, but there are days here in February when you can comfortably play golf.”

Amenities abound, from four-star restaurants at the country clubs, to quaint downtowns to shopping at Westlake Town Center.

One of Vicki’s jewel listings is a home in prestigious The Water’s Edge. The 7,000-square-foot stunner—built with 2x6 construction— has seven bedrooms and 6.5 baths, a three-floor hydraulic elevator, a media room, and a spacious kitchen and eating area that’s perfect for entertaining guests on the weekends. The home is gorgeously appointed inside and out. The sloping lawn leads to a dock and out onto the lake.

“There’s immediate access to water toys, all sorts of fun for the kids,” Vicki says. “The home is extremely close to The Water’s Edge country club facilities, where there’s horseback riding, tennis, golf, exercise equipment, swimming and dining. There’s really everything you’d want.”

SMITH LAKE, ALABAMA “Having the availability of your boat at the dock anytime to go fishing or just to sit there and have a glass of wine—water calms you and puts you in a different world,” says Jeff Baggett, owner of “The Castle” on Smith Lake in the gorgeous rolling hills of northern Alabama.

A calm, relaxing drive through a private winding road surrounded by 18 acres of park-like forest leads to the home deemed by locals as “The Castle.” The home is situated on a bluff overlooking the pristine waters of the third cleanest lake in the United States.

home features three additional bedrooms as well as custom baths.

Towering window walls and a three story glass-encased solarium provide breathtaking views of lake and long-distance vistas. Exquisite plasterwork with columns and scrollwork hallmark the custom craftsmanship. The exterior is maintenance-free with extensive copper detailing. The home is offered fully furnished.

“People comment on the cleanliness of Smith Lake all the time. And fortunately, our lake association is filled with people dedicated to keeping it that way,” says Baggett. “It’s a quiet lake where you can explore more 560 miles of shoreline and access four counties.”

The property’s 4,400 feet of shoreline secure privacy along with gated entrances and full security systems. At the 50- by 50-foot boat dock with three boat lifts, an attached 30- by 25-foot air conditioned boathouse offers an interior 10- by 10-foot fishing hole for convenient and climate-controlled angling in 100-foot depths of water. An 8,000square-foot shop and air conditioned toy garage offers the ideal setting for the motoring enthusiast with room to store up to four touring buses.

To take advantage of gorgeous views, The Castle has been carved out of rock shifts to blend harmoniously into the landscape. Constructed over a 24-month period, this custom built four-story home includes a gourmet kitchen and master suite that encompasses the entire third level. With 5,500 square feet of gracious living space, this

Smith Lake is located near Cullman, Alabama. Its crystal clear waters and depths of over 400 feet make it ideal for water sports, swimming and angling. “The Castle” is located within an easy two-hour and 15minute drive from Nashville, Tennessee and only 45 minutes from Birmingham, Alabama.

CENTRAL FLORIDA’S CHAIN OF LAKES When you think of Central Florida, you think of Disney, entertainment and attractions. Few people realize that among the five major counties in Central Florida, Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Polk and Lake counties, there are 2,500 lakes.

According to Carol Ann Hewitt of Oxford Realty, bass fishing is a major sport, in addition to golfing and water skiing.

Nothing could be more pleasant than a leisurely boat ride through the many lakes, some of which are connected by navigable canals, such as the famed Butler Chain of Lakes in Windermere, a growing suburban area to the southwest of Orlando, where one will find a series of eleven environmentally protected lakes, whose shores are dotted with beautiful estates. These lakes weave through and around some of Central Florida’s most prestigious gated golf and country club communities, such as Keenes Pointe, Isle Worth, and Lake Butler Sound. Winter Park, a charming town with a quaint

downtown shopping area on the north side of Orlando, boasts the Winter Park Chain of Lakes.

Minutes from Orlando’s downtown business district, there are beautiful homes on the shores of Lake Conway and Sand Lake. To the north of Orlando in Lake County is Lake Harris, a 13,789 acre lake, which is part of a large body of water known as the Ocklawaha Chain of Lakes. Lake Tohopekaliga— known to the locals as Lake Toho—is one of the largest lakes in Osceola County with over 19,000 acres! Great fishing here!

Gone are the tiny cottages of years ago, where native Orlandoans would come during the hot Summers to catch the cool lake breezes. They have been replaced by luxurious lakefront homes with wine cellars, elevators, elaborate gardens, heated pools, spas and boat houses. You can purchase a resort setting in your very own back yard and statistics prove that lakefront property is less resistant to economic downturns.

POCONO MOUNTAINS , PENNSYLVANIA MOUNTAIN VIEWS

By Cathleen McCann The Pocono Mountains are northeastern Pennsylvania’s claim to fame. This mountainous resort area is known for breathtaking natural beauty and premier recreational and entertainment venues. The Poconos, as it is commonly referred to, is Pennsylvania’s most popular tourist destination. People from around the world come here for a vacation getaway or to purchase a second home. This tranquil setting is the perfect retreat from the hustle-and-bustle of the world, yet is accessible to Manhattan by car in less than two hours.

One of the Poconos premier properties is at 19 Whispering Hills Court in the town of Effort, Pennsylvania. The owner has invested over $4.1 million and this home is priced to sell at $3.477 million.

The colonial-style cliff-top home is situated on over two-acres of land. “The home has one of the most exclusive views in the Poconos,” says Al Natale, developer with Masterpiece Builders.

“It has a 200-degree view of the valley below and the mountains in

the distance.” Natale built the home on a lot he purchased thirty years ago and is offering it for sale.

Several resorts are within thirty minutes of the home and offer year-round recreational activities, including Camelback Mountain Resort and Blue Mountain Ski Area. “The view is beautiful in the daytime,” Natale says. “It is equally gorgeous at night because you can see the lights from the towns and the ski resort in the distance.” Expansive covered decks surround the home, allowing for maximum enjoyment of the breathtaking view.

With 6,300-square-feet of living space, the home is elegantly finished and has an extensive list of amenities. Brazilian cherry floors run throughout the living spaces. A twenty-five-foot floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace graces the center of the home. A sizable basement comes with a separate kitchen, making it the perfect spot for entertaining.

The home’s other unique amenities include a full-size heated indoor saltwater swimming pool with Jacuzzi and a large indoor Koi pond room with a decorative waterfall and bridge.

Virginia has it all—beautiful beaches, mountains, and four distinct seasons are just a few of the many things this uncommonly beautiful commomwealth offers. The Blue Ridge Mountains and Chesapeake Bay are important natural attractions that draw people from around the world and shape the topography of Virginia. Located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the eastern seaboard, Virginia is not too far south or too far north, but has easy access to both. While the military and government are based here and bring many people to the area, Virginia’s appeal is broader than that. For many, Virginia makes the perfect place to set down roots, enjoy your golden years, or purchase a second home.

Many historic sites that mark the storied past of our growing nation are found in Virginia.

Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown are just a few of the many historic places that draw people to Virginia from around the world. Charlottesville, Virginia Beach, the Chesapeake Bay area and Smith Mountain Lake are also some very popular areas.

Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia Southwest Virginia holds a hidden gem that you won’t find in a local mine. Smith Mountain Lake, known as “the Jewel of the Blue Ridge Mountains,” is the cleanest lake on the East Coast.

More than 500 miles of largely undeveloped shoreline make the area a pristine place to live, yet it’s close to culture, airports and medical centers.

Just 30 minutes from Roanoke, the 20,600-acre lake offers nationally renowned bass and striper fishing, paddling, boating and swimming. Off-the-water amenities include five golf courses and equestrian centers.

Franklin County, which borders the lake, boasts the highest job growth rate in the state due to the relocation of some Microsoft offices. Washington, D.C., can be reached within three hours by bullet train from nearby Lynchburg, and the Roanoke airport has direct flights to many major cities. Smith Mountain Lake’s air-

port services residents and visitors who have private planes.

With a population over 9,000 and a median age of 44 years old, Smith Mountain Lake has 75 percent full-time residents. Leslie Becker, broker of Smith Mountain Lake Properties, Inc., notes that most people relocate to the lake for “lower taxes, better quality of living and convenience of the larger city less than 30 minutes away. But the most important reason is that the lake does not fluctuate and is controlled, within five feet, so you do not have those large drops other lakes do, you really can boat year ‘round.”

Homebuyers can choose from waterfront houses, golf villas and condominiums, with asking prices as low as $100,000 and up to more than $1 million. Some of the most luxurious homes have access to Smith Mountain Lake’s four-star resorts and all their pampering ways. Smith Mountain Lake Properties also sells farms, condos, lots and water access. For those who like to try before they buy, rental properties are available, as well.

Gloucester, Virginia Steeped in natural beauty, the peninsulas of southeast Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay and River Country are dotted with many communities that offer a peaceful way of life, yet are complete with worldclass amenities. Gloucester, Newport News, Hampton, Mathews, Middlesex, and Williamsburg are just a few of the area’s cities.

The region is renowned for its daffodils and popular activities like fishing, crabbing, and sailing on Chesapeake Bay. “The area’s many rivers, creeks, and waterways not only make for a beautiful natural setting, but also provide a place with many waterfront properties,” says Jeanne Hockaday, president/principal broker with Virginia Country Real Estate in Gloucester, Virginia.

A wide variety of home styles can be found on the peninsulas—historic homes from the Revolutionary War or Civil War as well as super modern “smart homes” and everything in between. “Homes here offer privacy and acreage,” Hockaday says. “Home prices remain competitive and opportunities to buy abound in the million-plus market.”

A fine example of a Chesapeake Bay-designed home can be found at 9487 Rowe’s Point Road, located on the mouth of the Severn River at Mobjack Bay. This prime waterfront location has deepwater for sailing and terrific views. Situated on twelve-acres of land, the home has a peaceful and private feel, yet is convenient to the peninsula. “The home makes you feel like you are on a permanent vacation,” says Hockaday.

The $1.675-million three-level home has a master bedroom suite with a whirlpool and its own private deck and hot tub. An elevator provides easy access to the living areas, which are higher up to take advantage of the breathtaking views—a feature typical of the region. Expansive decks and windows combined with an unsurpassed location on the peninsula allow for enjoyment of beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

The historic College of William and Mary is an integral part of Williamsburg, along with neighboring schools, colleges and universities. Superb educational opportunities present themselves to both students and volunteers. Residents can also take advantage of world-class restaurants, outdoor summer concerts and exploring the historic triangle of Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg.

Additional features of the property include a private dock with covered boat slip as well as three slips for deep draft sailboats.

A small, private sand beach is also included.

Nearby Norfolk’s big-city shopping, restaurants and major universities, cultural and recreational facilities complement Williamsburg’s hometown amenities. Just 45 minutes to the northwest, Richmond, Virginia’s capital and center for banking a nd commerce, is home to Fortune 500 companies, universities and the Medical College of Virginia. Washington, D.C. is an easy two-and-a-half hours’ drive north.

Williamsburg, Virginia For 400 years, Williamsburg has invited settlers to its enchanting enclave, and they’re still arriving.

“Our residents come from small towns and thriving metropolises. They are just starting families and just becoming grandparents. They are schoolteachers and retired corporate executives,” says Marley Numbers, a Long & Foster Realtor’s luxury home specialist. “What draws them all to Williamsburg? [It’s] life the way you choose to live it.”

Located on the Virginia peninsula, Williamsburg combines smalltown ambiance with convenient location and historic attractions with championship golf and with deep water. The James and Chickahominy rivers host waterfront community parks, private and public marinas, and stunning waterfront communities.

122 VIRGINIA MARKETPLACE

Luxury homes in Williamsburg suit any lifestyle, with golf course, marina and riverfront home sites, as well as nature preserve and country club locations. Single-family homes range in size from 2,000 square feet to more than 16,000 square feet and price from $400,000 to more than $5 million.

One of these luxury properties is 1548 Harbor Road, located in the Marina Village of private country club community, Governor’s Land. A 6,000-square-foot riverfront property with an outstanding vista of the James River, it has its own private beach.

Virginia Beach, Virginia Known as a premier resort area, Virginia Beach is located in the southeastern part of Virginia’s Atlantic Ocean coastline at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Blessed with thirty-five miles of beaches that grace the oceanfront and the bay, Virginia Beach also is home to many inland waterways. “This is a great place to have a second home because of our mild climate and all of the water we have here,” says Jeanne West, associate broker with RE/MAX Alliance in Virginia Beach, Virginia. “There are so manywaterfront properties in Virginia Beach.”

One of the area’s central features is a three-mile long boardwalk that is a prime spot for a leisurely stroll as well as the site for many festivals.

“There are lots of recreational, historic, and cultural opportunities in the area,” West says. “It can be like a year-round vacation here.” Close proximity to Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia’s wine country, and the Wintergreen Resort are among the many neighboring attractions that offer something to suit anyone’s interest.

The Broad Bay Point Greens golf course community is home to one of Virginia Beach’s premier properties, a home that exemplifies the area’s relaxed lifestyle. The $3.999-million home is situated on Broad Bay. Its dramatic design is evocative of a cruise ship and includes 6,700-square-feet of living space. A black marble

Charlottesville, Virginia Picturesque Charlottesville, Virginia is known for its historic properties. Realtor Rick Walden of Virginia Estates, who moved to central Virginia in 1970 from Colorado, specializes in large farms and estates, some of them dating back more than two-and-a-half centuries.

“There are historic properties in Charlottesville and in every direction,” Rick explains. “When John Smith settled in Jamestown and they worked their way up the James River, they had been going along boring flatland and then reached the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. That’s where the people with money ended up, with their tobacco farms and the like. The hub of that area was Charlottesville.”

Most everyone knows that early presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe called Charlottesville home, but there are other historic aspects to this city of 43,750.

You might even call the town charmed. During the American Revolutionary and Civil Wars, as battles raged and blood spilled all around it, Charlottesville was essentially spared from carnage.

The Charlottesville of today appears charmed as well. The city has been a regular on surveys of best places to live. “We have a super-stable economy,” Rick explains. “University of Virginia pumps a huge amount of money into the local economy. Unemployment is always among the lowest in the nation. The quality of life is very pleasant. We’re 30 minutes from the mountains, a couple hours to the ocean. UVA brings people in from all over the world, so it’s a very cosmopolitan community, and very cultured. And the taxes are very moderate compared to similar type towns.”

One of Rick’s current listings is a Shelton Mill Farm, an enchanting 3,155-square-foot home on 269 beautifully rolling acres. It was built in 1780. Lovingly renovated and modernized, it’s still graced by a quaint charisma. “The home is ready to go,” Rick says. “The owners have taken great care of it. It’s a wonderful country manor home.”

Southern Virginia “There’s no doubt that the lake has provided a huge opportunity for this area to grow,” says agent Debbie Shelton of Prudential Waterfront Properties in Virginia. “But at the same time, some people come here who don’t even know there is a lake. It’s a big, beautiful body of water, and it’s surrounded by lovely rural communities, farms and properties.”

Debbie is talking about the bucolic area surrounding Smith Mountain Lake in southern Virginia, about 45 minutes southeast of Roanoke.

It’s long been an agricultural region, but more and more farms with ample acreage are being turned into recreational properties. “It’s rural but not isolated,” Debbie says. “The place has experienced an influx of people from other parts of the country. There was a kind of culture shock, a bit of us-versus-them attitude. But now it’s all pretty much integrated. You might be driving down Route 40 behind a guy on his tractor, but you just slow down, take a breath and wait for him to turn off the road.”

Debbie says one of the main reasons people relocate to her area is the beau-tiful climate.

“There are four distinct seasons, but none of them are severe,” she says. “We get some snow, but not much.”

Because of low taxes and comparatively affordable prices, people are increasingly drawn to buying property near, but not on, Smith Mountain Lake. The lake is easily accessible to nearby residents, with plenty of public access, including boat ramps, and recreation spots.

One of Debbie’s very attractive listings is a beautiful 33-acre property with mountain views, a stocked pond and restored farmhouse for $449,900.”
