INCLINE VILLAGE, NEVADA

THE CASTLE ON LAKE TAHOE

By Sam Drake

T

he head-turning waterfront chateau known as the Castle on Lake Tahoe is far more than one can visualize in its enchanting gardens, whispering creek, fanciful water features and awe-inspiring architecture—it’s a monument to love.

In 1980, real estate investor George Croom, who has owned the property for 30 years, had a beloved, late wife Sharon, who was

enchanted by what she experienced visiting the great castles of Europe and conceived the idea to build her own.

The couple’s quest to fulfill her dream led them to a talented artist and engineer named Robert Simon, who had just completed an English country cottage nearby.

“We met with him and for three months he began to articulate in sketches the design we had in our minds,” George says. “After Simon completed the plans there was the little matter of getting our dream castle built.”

Local artisans and tradespeople were recruited and largely all of the details of the façade, including the leaded, stained glass windows, decorative features, corbels and finials, were customized and handcrafted on site. It was a three-year effort from start to finish.

What at first was thought to be out of character with the community because it wasn’t typical Tahoe, has now become a favorite icon of the area.

The Castle, tucked away in a private location on one of the larger lakefront parcels of 1.7 acres, is in the charming community of Incline Village, central to area ski resorts, South Shore Lake Tahoe, Carson City and Reno.

As much as The Castle is an elegant showplace, it’s a warm, comfortable place to live. “It’s a monumental structure at first sight, but it’s divided into lots of intimate and cozy spaces,” according to George’s current wife Nancy, adding that while the couple is overly delighted with their home and their Tahoe lifestyle, the reason they are selling is it’s part of their estate plan.

“We recently had an open house with about 70 of the area’s top brokers and agents,” George says. “Of all the facts and figures, they will recall their emotional feeling and fascination with the property more ... it’s much like an escape into another reality.”

Castles in Europe often receive accolades for their sturdy construction, royal furnishings, and daunting seclusion, but criticism confronts their absent amenities and discouraging distance from everyday conveniences. The American solution that overcomes these inconveniences is the Castle on Lake Tahoe, a secluded, serviceable, and sumptuous estate that mimics the Old World masterpieces with modern updates.

Nestled beneath towering pine trees on the edge of Lake Tahoe near Incline Village, Nevada, this romantic oasis of rustic charm and architectural magic offers 1.7 acres of quaint woodland and 180 feet of lake frontage. A private buoy, boat launch, and pier with motorized boat and watercraft lifts provide effortless access to the aquatic wonder of Lake Tahoe. The 9,000-square-foot gated estate divides into five bedrooms including a three-room guest suite, expansive patios and entertainment areas. Dozens of windows capture breathtaking views of the glassy

lake and snow covered Sierras as well as the manicured gardens and a freshwater creek.

Behind the dreamy stone façade appear fairy tale features such as whimsical scrollwork, romantic detailing, floral coated walls, and custom leaded stained glass domes. Interiors compose palatial luxury with coffered and wood paneled ceilings and walls, decorative beams, ornamental moldings, and hand-hewn mahogany floors. Outdoor treasures include a pond, fountain, pool, and waterfall embellished with playful bronze dolphins. The Castle on Lake Tahoe is central to area ski resorts, hiking trails, lake attractions, entertainment centers, and conveniences of Incline Village, South Shore Lake Tahoe, Reno and Carson City.

This fanciful manor transforms into reality the reverie of a private and permanent retreat. Offered at $22,850,000

PUBLISHER’S LETTER

SEPTEMBER 2010

PRESIDENT/PUBLISHER Sheri Norris, snorris@dupontregistry.com

Dear Reader, Our features this month are historic estates and Colorado properties. I am partial to the historic estates, having spent my early years growing up in and near such remarkable places.

The Elgin Plantation in North Carolina is a prime example of a refined country estate that has been cared for and well preserved. This Federalstyle home is on the National Registry for Historic Places, and has some great features. Read all about it on pages 103 through 106.

The Colorado properties featured in this issue are remarkable places. From the “gem of southwestern Colorado” Durango to Evergreen in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, you will be enticed with their amazing views. Of course, the lure of Colorado is not only the views, but also the recreational activities and cultural offerings as well.

Another Western favorite is The Castle on Lake Tahoe. It’s hard to believe that a 9,000-square-foot gated estate can be cozy, as the article describes.

However, when you see the photos and read the article, you will understand that it is possible. This estate is truly an exquisite property with provenance.

If you are looking for the perfect island residence, check out the article on Key West Steamplant. The nineteen exclusive high-rise luxury residences range from 3,000 to 5,300 square feet with dock availability across the street.

Whether these estates are of interest to you, or you wish to view some of our many other options online, please visit our web site at www.duPontREGISTRY.com to see more.

MARKETPLACE—COLORADO

Natural Beauty

A P

Possessing unparalleled natural beauty and a quaint, yet sophisticated, charm the mountain towns of Colorado are simply unforgettable. Mild temperatures and year-round sunshine combined with a wealth of recreational and cultural pursuits make for a superb quality of life. People from all over the world flock to Colorado to take part in many world-class outdoor activities and entertainment offerings that can be found here. Colorado leads the pack in numerous areas and its appeal is wide-reaching. All of this, however, is right at your backdoor. Just sit back, relax, and let the world come to you.

IN THE LOOP Set among the foothills of the Rocky Mountains is the beautiful mountain town of Evergreen. Located about thirty minutes west of Denver, Evergreen combines the best of both worlds—spectacular serene mountain views and close proximity to Denver’s many amenities. One of the communities that make up the historic “Lariat Loop,” a forty-mile scenic circle connecting Evergreen, Morrison, Lookout Mountain and Golden, Evergreen has breathtaking natural beauty and a rich cultural heritage.

“Evergreen is an outstanding community,” says Rita Hansen, an Evergreen resident for over thirty years and broker associate with Metro Brokers at Evergreen in Evergreen. “People always remark about how wonderful it is that everyone here is

COLORADO—MARKETPLACE

friendly and talks to you on the street.” The strong sense of community attracts everyone from artists to well-known captains of industry and celebrities.

People come from all over to take part in Evergreen’s many outdoor pursuits and cultural offerings, all set against the town’s beautiful backdrop of Mount Evans. Evergreen Lake and its lake house are popular spots for year-round recreational activities, like boating and ice skating, and entertainment. Many of Colorado’s world-class ski areas, such as Vail Ski Resort, are about an hour away. “You never lack for anything to do here,” says Hansen.

Log or log-accent homes are the prevailing architectural home style in Evergreen, but you can find many others including contemporary homes. “Each house is so different here,” Hansen says. “There are many unique and fantastic properties that help keep Evergreen from looking like one big subdivision.” Many great neighborhoods give luxury buyers an abundance of choices as well. Popular neighborhoods include the stream-lined Upper Bear Creek or the trail-lined Soda Creek, to name a few.

An abundance of wildlife such as elk and buffalo call Evergreen home, adding to the rustic ambience of this quaint mountain town.

MARKETPLACE—COLORADO THE GEM OF SOUTHWESTERN COLORADO Nestled in the Animas River Valley and surrounded by the San Juan Mountains, Durango is a picturesque town full of Western charm. Nicknamed the “gem of southwestern Colorado,” it is situated between the desert and the Rocky Mountain Range, just a short drive from the “Four Corners” area where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah meet.

“Durango is a very welcoming and inclusive community,” says Linda Crowther, broker associate with Prudential Triple S Realty in Durango. “Even our wealthiest residents are relaxed, casual, and mix right in with day-to-day life.”

Durango’s unpretentiousness combined with its small-townfeel makes it the perfect place to put down roots, something its over 15,000 full-time residents already know.

A thriving dining and cultural scene includes more restaurants per capita than other mountain towns as well as legendary music festivals, including Music in the Mountains, that attract acclaimed local and world renowned musicians of all genres.

Mountain-style log or post-and-beam homes are prevalent, but any architectural home style can be found here. There is no shortage of choices in terms of location or lifestyle for luxury buyers—whether it is a luxury property located in downtown Durango’s historic district, perfect for its “walkability” or a home on a larger parcel of land with majestic mountain views, or a gentleman’s ranch. “We have it all in Durango,” says Crowther.

With over 300 days of sunshine and year-round mild temperatures, Durango is a recreational paradise with a plethora of outdoor activities right at your fingertips. World class fly fishing and whitewater rafting are some of the activities that take

place on the Animas River, which runs right through downtown. Hiking, biking, and horseback riding are some of the other active pursuits here. Durango Mountain Resort, located about twenty-five miles outside of town, is a local favorite for its great skiing and spectacular views.

KEY WEST STEAMPLANT

T

Key West, Florida

The newly constructed Key West Steamplant on the edge of the historic harbor has set a new standard of opulent convenient lifestyle. Your secure and private sanctuary commands breathtaking panoramic views of the entire city, the Gulf of Mexico to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south.

The unique architecture of the Key West Steamplant calls for a new approach to designing your special island lifestyle.

No expense has been spared to create residences of extraordinary style, grace and elegance. No detail was overlooked in the commodious kitchens, walk-in closets and wet bars with wine coolers, and state-of-the-art finishes and fixtures.

“The size of the structure itself provided a blank canvas for amenities found nowhere else in Key West or the Florida Keys,” says architect/resident of the Key West Steamplant, Michael Ingram. In few world-class destinations will you find residences featuring individual private elevators from the secured drive-in parking below direct to your living area or to your very own rooftop deck and pool.

Private rooftop terraces, spacious common areas and meeting space self contain all your entertaining needs.

“Because the Key West Steamplant offers a rarity of large living areas, ranging from 3,000 to 5,300 square feet, our residents can enjoy relaxing in the privacy of their homes and rooftop pool entertainment areas,” says developer Ed Swift. “At the same time they appreciate the convenience of being just a short walk or bicycle ride to world-class dining, galleries, theaters, museums and cultural activities for which Key West has become famous.” Of course, a dock for your yacht, up to 120 feet, is available just across the street.

Key West’s most exclusive address, the Key West Steamplant, is now being offered at an incredible price reduction of up to $1 million. The Miami Herald says, “We’ll never see prices like this in South Florida again.” Investors across the world are recognizing this remarkable chance to own in Key West, “The market that historically rebounds first,” according to Forbes magazine which ranked Key West, Florida second out of all US cities to do so.

Recently, the Wall Street Journal proclaimed, “The luxury market is making a comeback,” and the Miami Herald said, “The super luxury condo market is taking off.”

The opportunity to own a truly unique part of fabulous Key West is at hand. You may stop looking for the perfect island residence of your dreams. Call 1-800-886-9122 today for more information or visit our website at www.keyweststeamplant.com.

HISTORIC ESTATES

Preserving History Creating re ing a New Legacy Le acy

F

By Britta Dragicevic

For those looking for a connection to some of the most interesting and remarkable times in the United States, owning a historic home can be the ideal way to combine a passion for preserving history with the desire to forge your own legacy.

Some of America’s most historic homes are scattered in the most beautiful locales across the country—from the rolling hills of New England, to the gorgeous mountains of the Carolinas to the lush green of the Deep South. You’ll find estates, plantations, mansions—the remnants of some of America’s earliest luxury homeowners, now available as your own private retreat.

ELGIN PLANTATION Standing as a testament to some of North Carolina’s richest history, Elgin Plantation embodies the authentic Southern plantation with a quiet serenity rarely found in today’s modern estates. Located just one hour from Raleigh-Durham, the plantation hails its beginning in 1827 and today remains a beautiful legacy of the care and detail given to a home that has brought peace and abundance to generations of families.

“We fell in love with Elgin at first sight. The incredible view you get as you round the turn into the last part of the driveway is

incredible. Tall pines, oaks and magnolias surround the house and the views of the pastures are breathtaking,” says Barry Hardman. He and his wife, Judith, have owned Elgin for the last few years. Family circumstances have led them to place it back on the market.

The Federal Style home, located three miles from the town of Warrenton, is on the National Registry for Historic Places. It offers 4,800 square feet of gracious living space detailed with classic elements such as friezes, cornices and carved columns.

Authentic 1830’s doors and baseboards remain, as well as four

ornate, gas-converted fireplaces. Thirteen foot ceilings provide a spacious ambiance. The home features three bedrooms and two and one-half baths.

Set amidst 307 acres divided equally into woods and pasture, Elgin has five ponds and is fully fenced. A new three bay garage with a finished second floor, new barn, and three smaller barns provide ample storage. Original buildings include a ‘Summer Kitchen’ house, chicken coop, smoke house, privy and restored “worker’s cabin.” A separate modern guest/property manager house with three bedrooms and two baths sits half a mile from the main house—ensuring privacy and ample room for guests or caretakers.

“Our favorite thing to do is to sit on the back porch, enjoy a cool summer drink and watch deer, fox, birds and other wildlife pass through the fields. It’s very peaceful; there are no sounds of the highway or neighbors,” says Barry. “Elgin’s best attribute, though, is its location. It’s far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Raleigh-Durham, yet close enough to enjoy all the culture and activity a large city has to offer.”

The plantation is conveniently located within 20 minutes to six golf courses, restaurants and unique shops. It is nine miles

100 HISTORIC ESTATES

from the Virginia State Line and close to beautiful Lake Gaston.

“The people of Warrenton are one of the best treasures. We have found nothing but the most warm-hearted people in America. Everyone is friendly and will bend over backwards to help a neighbor or a newcomer.”

Elgin Plantation is represented by Benton Real Estate of Warrenton, North Carolina.

THE COLUMNS-BEAULIEU The allure of historic Southern plantations—those gracious mansions that come with solid traces of some of America’s most charming and tumultuous eras—has long captivated luxury buyers. Whether drawn by the sense of owning a piece of American history, wanting to preserve remnants of the vintage South, or for those dreaming of running a bed and breakfast— owning a historic southern mansion has its definitive benefits for the discerning buyer.

Pam Powers, Realtor® at Broker South Properties, in Vicksburg and Oxford, Mississippi, has long had a passionate interest in matching those looking for historic property with ideal locations.

www.duPontREGISTRY.com

HISTORIC ESTATES “The first thing I ask potential buyers is to define what they want in a historic property. Do you want to renovate it, if so, to what degree? Do you want to turn it into a B&B? Or are you looking for something that’s already been completely renovated and is ready to move into?” says Powers.

The south has plenty of beautiful locations that offer a variety of historic homes. Yet, the classic southern mansion with the antebellum columns is exceedingly rarer to find. Many historic mansions are simply gone, having succumbed to long-term neglect. Those that remain are often diamonds in the rough.

“You can buy a mansion here for far less than what you’d pay for a small home in California or Colorado, which means you get a lot more house for your money,” says Powers. “These homes have beautiful bones; you just don’t find this kind of construction anymore. And they can be very easy to upgrade. In a weeks’ time, you can have a builder provide a renovation estimate. You’d be surprised how much you can do and still come up less than the cost of what a much smaller home in another market would be.” Powers cites that renovated homes on the market today typically begin in the $400,000 price range.

One of Powers’ listings, “The ColumnsBeaulieu,” in historic Vicksburg, Mississippi, has been completely renovated and offers more than 5,000 square feet of gracious living space with seven bedrooms and five baths. Built circa 1899, the home is the only one of its architecture in Vicksburg and can be accredited for hosting Dwight Eisenhower in 1947 when he attended a ball there and gave a speech off the home’s balcony. His pre-presidential visit to Vicksburg prompted the city to celebrate its first 4th of July party since its surrender to the Union Army during the Civil War on July 4, 1863.

“This is a beautiful example of the kind of enduring mansion that embodies memories of our country’s past,” Powers says. “You simply can’t put a price on that.”

Vicksburg, Mississippi is situated on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers, located 40 miles from Jackson. The city’s National Military Park and Civil War museum draws more than 1 million visitors a year. Headquarters to the Army Corps of Engineers, and other engi-

neering research facilities, it has the highest per capita of PhD’s in the United States. Historic architecture, a warm, inviting hospitality; strong economy and variety of entertainment venues, including four casinos, golf courses and riverboats make it an ideal place to live.

INDIAN SPRING FARM Graced by some of the United State’s earliest history, the New England communities of Concord and Carlisle, Massachusetts offer the perfect blend of authentic connection to the past with today’s modern, convenient lifestyle. Sought after for their bucolic landscapes, quintessential New England ambiance, walkability to town centers and their convenient half-hour proximity to Boston—antique homes in these communities are both a source of pride and personal family delight.

“Today’s renovated antique home has to deliver the same high standards of comfort and quality that discerning buyers expect from a new construction home,” says Zur Attias, owner and broker of The Attias Group, a premier luxury real estate marketing firm in Concord. “Gourmet kitchens, spacious, comfortable family rooms, and economical operating costs are all primary hallmarks of an antique home that has been meticulously renovated.”

Two of the properties The Attias Group represent include the famed, This Old House 25th Year Anniversary project at 730 Concord Street in Carlisle and the original Indian Spring Farm (now 761 Lowell Road) in Concord that was initially surveyed 102 HISTORIC ESTATES

and detailed in Henry Thoreau’s journals. Both properties are rich in history and exemplify the highest level of custom craftsmanship in their renovation and attention to luxury detail.

The “This Old House” property features 6,561 square feet of living space on 1.25 acres. “This home delivers on every level—it’s incredibly efficient and its design sensibility is remarkable. It is the most prime example of antique renovation I’ve seen in all my years in real estate,” Attias says. For those interested in viewing the details and effort that went into the restoration, the home has a one year documentary of renovation that aired nationally on Public Broadcasting Stations on the This Old House television series.

Indian Spring Farm in Concord began its venerable history in 1722 and today offers the distinctive buyer an array of 6,046 square feet of beautifully renovated living spaces set on 1.83 acres of lush property. “This home has tremendous historical significance and is not located in the Historic district, therefore, not subject to restrictions that would normally apply to a home with such a rich history,” Attias says. “That gives it a significant advantage and appeal.”

“If you’re debating purchasing a historic home, think of it this way: you can either live in an authentic, sincere home rich in history, or you can live in an object that is trying to duplicate that,” says Attias. “The high-end luxury antique home simply cannot be equaled. I
