STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS

A strategy for success Professional property marketing on a local, regional, national and international level.

F

ine & Country understands moving home is one of the most important decisions you can make; your home is both a financial and emotional investment.

Down the hallway onto the fairway We understand that those looking at buying a property on a golf course are not just investing in a home, they are investing in a lifestyle; to wake up and walk directly onto the green and to spend the morning playing a few rounds, before retreating to the clubhouse for a spot of lunch.

This is why Fine & Country has teamed up with European Tour Properties to form a specialist division, Fine & Country Golf Living. The division is dedicated to the marketing and sale of an elite collection of golf properties on some of the world’s most exclusive golf courses.

Fine & Country takes the instruction to sell your home as a privilege, an honour and as a very serious commitment to you. Through excellent marketing, we deliver an efficient sales process and a courteous, careful service.

The more expensive property demands a more extensive presentation in order to enhance the character of the property, the location, the area, the facilities and the lifestyle – for all prospective buyers.

The widespread exposure of your property is crucial. In today’s market not only is the mobility of buyers greater than ever, but also the ways in which they may access information.

Your prospective buyer could come from, quite literally, anywhere - through local and regional marketing, through national newspapers and magazines or, increasingly, internationally using the interactive technologies such as the internet, touchscreens and mobile phones.

Instruct Fine & Country and you could benefit from our knowledge, experience, expertise and contacts and our well trained, educated and courteous staff. You are assisted, advised and informed through each stage of the whole transaction.

“Sophisticated, intelligent and creative marketing that provides the type of information buyers would never normally see – it is a case of presenting and promoting your property as if it were our own.”

The event has grown to be a distinguished date in the calendar, with spectators travelling from afar, some internationally, to watch the action. More than a sporting event, the Fine & Country Gold Cup is a great opportunity for family and friends to spend quality time together browsing the shopping village, enjoying fine food from the food court or feasting on a picnic on the lawns, while watching the exhilarating polo match. In typical British style, attendees lunched on picnics and sipped Pimms as they watched the Quicksilver team claim the title.

H

alfway into the taxi ride from Alicante airport on the Spanish coast, I glance through the window to see the motorways have guided us out of the city and onto a narrow road that twists and turns as it snakes its way upwards. Almond and olive trees dig into the sun-baked earth and tiny whitewashed villages tumble into the valleys between khaki mountains. It’s late afternoon and the sun is losing power, its white midday light dulled to a warm, golden glow, when we pull into La Escondida; “the hidden one”.

The boutique hotel on the doorstep of the Font Roja National Park is hidden in plain sight. The traditionally constructed Moorish building that began life as a hunting lodge in 1881 and was once a hostel, is perched on a hilltop, yet somehow its charming, pale-yellow façade melds with its surrounds, as if it has always been there, sitting, waiting for guests to arrive.

“The estate stretches to a ravine over there,” says Andrew Butler, a friend of the Venables’ family, as he gives me a tour of the property. He points to the middle distance beyond an olive grove “…and just before that white building down there.” Circling the main building affords 360-degree views of the 220 acre estate that stretches down the slopes to the flats, framed by a row of green-mantled mountains. Gazing at the vista feels much like surveying a private kingdom.

I’m beginning to understand why former England football manager Terry Venables and wife Yvette fell in love with the spot during Terry’s days as manager of Barcelona FC, despite originally seeking a coastal property.

“You have a choice of rooms,” says Andrew, guiding me to one of the two freestanding lodges on the edge of the garden. “The décor is Yvette’s work,” he says, as I admire the wire bookshelf on the wall, the beside tables crafted from logs, the central cushion on the plush bed featuring a deer motif, perhaps as a nod to the heritage of the main building. The rustic elements generate a sense of comfort, of home. This is a place designed for living; a place where you kick your shoes off, flop into one of the oversized armchairs and feel like you’ve been here before.

The corner room on the first floor of the main building exudes the same welcome, the original stonework, oak beams and hand-painted tiles combining with modern prints, delightful barn-style wooden doors, and thoughtful touches – a postcard of the property sits next to the welcome letter on the bed. Ten suites stretch over two floors, each slightly different. In this room, shuttered windows along one wall overlook the large terrace leading to lawn that stretches to an inviting swimming pool. It’s the window on the far end of the room that makes my decision though, with spectacular views of a dramatically craggy mountain through the trees. ➤➤

Top: The rooms boast spectacular views.

By the time evening rolls around, I’m famished, ready to sample the delights of Escondida’s kitchen. The Michelinstar trained chef produces an exceptional, ever-changing menu of mouth-watering European dishes that take advantage of seasonal and local produce, including almond and olive oil produced from the spoils of the estate and vegetables from the market garden. The restaurant is open to the public and patrons make their way here from miles around to sample the fare. I’m keen to see if it lives up to its reputation.

I’m so taken by the presentation of the amuse bouche that I forget to listen to the description, instead allowing the flavours of the airy mousse wrapped in cucumber to assail my tongue in a burst of flavour. This heralds the feast to come. The goat cheese and sundried tomato ravioli starter that follows is equally delectable and the braised pork cheek melts in the mouth, with the intriguing addition of piquant pickled wild garlic and rich roasted black pudding.

I certainly don’t need dessert, but I can’t resist the La Escondida chocolate sphere. The delicate chocolate orb in the centre of the bowl melts away under a stream of hot chocolate in a theatrical performance as spellbinding as the flavours are decadent. My only regret is that I won’t have time to consume my way through the entire menu during my short stay.

The next morning, as I sit basking in the sunshine on the terrace devouring my late and lazy breakfast of eggs Royale, I think about all I could do here. Should I desire, a horse could be brought to the doorstep for anything from a ride around the property to a half-day trek; bespoke tours are on offer on the plethora of mountain biking, cycling and hiking trails in the vicinity; tee times can be booked at superb golf courses. There’s a tennis court, walking in the hills, falconry, archery, paragliding, hunting, village visits, the on-site massage rooms and indoor pool. My eyes focus on the blue shimmer at the end of the lawn. The endless possibilities are pleasing, but today, the pool wins. There’s a simple pleasure in doing very little.

As dusk falls, I sit in the restaurant sipping a glass of crisp white wine. Terry and Yvette saunter through the open space, greeting every guest like a friend. They smile and laugh, their relaxed demeanour infectious as they welcome us into this extension of their home.

That’s the charm of La Escondida. This is no sniffy, white-glove establishment. It’s a place to kick back, unwind, and savour: a true hideaway. n For more information about La Escondida visit www.hotelescondida.com

owards the end of 2016, the European Tour made an official announcement concerning the launch of the new Rolex Series. This series of top European Tour events commenced in 2017 with a minimum prize fund of over £5 million.

Not only was this an opportunity for the European Tour to group the top eight tournaments from around the world together in one series, it has also forged a greater alliance with long-term and trusted partner of the European Tour, Rolex.

Rolex has been the proud partner and official timekeeper of the Tour since 1997 and Arnaud Boetsch, Rolex Director of Communication and Image, says, “It is with great enthusiasm that Rolex will reinforce its longstanding partnership with the European Tour by supporting the Rolex Series, an innovative advancement in professional European golf.”

Steve Todd, Deputy Media Communications Director of the European Tour is also keen to point out the great partnership between Rolex and the European Tour.

“Rolex is a great supporter of golf worldwide,” says Todd.

“Together, the European Tour and Rolex look to innovate and encourage the exceptional talent of professional golfers, with the shared values of respect, sportsmanship, excellence and heritage.”

With so many great tournaments and venues as part of the European Tour, choosing which would become part of the Rolex Series was not an easy task. Professional golfers covet winning national Opens, which are individually prestigious events, so, it’s little surprise to see the BMW PGA Championship, HNA Open de France, Irish Open, Scottish Open and Italian Open join the three seasonending events in Turkey, South Africa and Dubai to create the Rolex Series. ➤➤

GOLF

These tournaments boast some of the most illustrious champions ever seen in golf. Seve Ballesteros, Sir Nick Faldo and Bernhard Langer through to current Major Champions such as Rory McIlroy, Martin Kaymer and Graeme McDowell have all won a current Rolex Series event in the past.

As a golfer or spectator, who wouldn’t want to follow in the footsteps of these great players and witness outstanding golf at the leading venues around Europe? The Rolex Series provides the opportunity to do exactly that. By having the HNA Open de France, Dubai Duty Free Irish Open and Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open in consecutive weeks before the Open Championship, the European Tour has created a tremendous four-week stretch of golf in Europe this summer.

Clearly these tournaments are already well-attended and popular in their own right, but Todd, says, “It is more a case of enhancing these already-strong tournaments and giving our players the chance to compete for more prize money on the European Tour, while providing a better overall experience for both players and fans.”

Each tournament on the Rolex Series is a golfing event and sporting occasion not to be missed. Both players and fans have welcomed the series with open arms and it is set to develop and define European Tour golf for the foreseeable future. n

magine living inside an architectural artwork, with panoramic views of the iconic historical Parliament building and UNESCO World Heritage listed skyline of Budapest. A mere 15 minutes from the heart of the Hungarian capital, Poet’s Penthouses are based on the design ideas and concept plans of Gabor Varosi, who has directed some 15 property development projects as artistic consultant and investor, determining the direction for the development and design and overseeing the quality finishing.

Poet’s Penthouses build on Varosi’s portfolio of intriguing residential structures, including the recently unveiled Art Home Budapest in the upmarket district of Svabhegy, which accommodates two exclusive freehold apartments.

His work is far from ordinary, featuring organic curves and in the case of Art Home, a webbed façade that allows for an abundance of natural light. Poet’s Penthouses make use of the webbing as a canopy over the generous terrace spaces, as if the creator is playing with light and shade.

Varosi’s designs are being brought to life by architect Szabolcs Nagy-Miticzky from Tér-Alkotó Studió and of the six sculpture-like penthouses in the development, only three remain on the market. The appeal is clear – set in the most exclusive area of District 12 in the Buda Hills within 5,000 sq.m. of private park-like surroundings with sculptures, special lighting, diverse plants and mature trees, the location offers an escape from bustling city life, ➤➤ has yet with easy access to all that the Hungarian capital to offer. ➤➤

Island luxury T

handa Island is a truly exclusive Indian Ocean hideaway sitting between the mainland of Tanzania and Mafia Island. Accessed by boat from Mafia Island or helicopter directly from Dar es Salaam International Airport, it’s a kind of African paradise; a discreet, sumptuous retreat and private haven that is available for exclusive bookings only.

The island’s one-kilometre circumference houses a beautifully designed five bedroom villa, a boathouse, an outdoor pizza oven, a beachfront swimming pool and a discreet team of hosts, on hand to ensure guests want for nothing – whether it’s a soak in a copper bathtub on the beach while watching the sun slowly sink into the sea, an array of water sports to keep even the most avid aqua enthusiast happy, or breakfast on a sand spit that vanishes as the tide rolls in.

Encircled by a coral reef, the lush island is located in the middle of a migratory route used by whale sharks from October to February. Snorkelling with these magnificent creatures is an experience not to be missed. This year also saw the first Green Turtle hatching on the island in seven years, evidence of Thanda Island’s close work with the Tanzanian marine conservation NGO Sea Sense. n

DESIGN SCENE

W

ith 30 years’ operating as an interior design firm based in London, Interiors by Sarah Ward has seen and done it all when it comes to complicated builds, cutting-edge design, and clients who expect perfection. The multiple award-winning firm, which is headed up by Sarah and her daughter Rosie, has been involved in some of London’s most exciting prime residential development projects.

They recently designed and built a private home from the ground upwards. The property, based in rural Surrey within proximity of London, is the perfect aspirational purchase for a growing family and every inch of its 6800-square footage has been designed with this in mind.

Despite being brand new, the property has been designed with an air of classically inspired symmetry, with a Georgian-style façade and beautiful architectural details inside, such as cornicing and sash windows. The central bespoke staircase acts as the heart of the home, with a galleried landing at the top and a ceramic tiled floor at the bottom, leading through to the open-plan living and dining area.

Family living As the project was the designer’s own development, rather than being built for a specific client, the team had the freedom to create the ideal family home.

“I have a fairly large family myself, so I know which key ingredients are necessary in the design of a family home to ensure it flows and brings out the best of family living,” explains Sarah. “The design was planned to suit a large family that enjoys entertaining, but it still has pockets to retreat to if preferred. It really needed to have something for everyone.”

One of the most unusual features is the scale of the ceiling heights, doorways and skirting boards. On entry, it is evident the home has been designed to impress and is perfect for entertaining.

The market for young families in Surrey is booming, with more choosing to leave the capital every year in pursuit of more space and a healthier environment. Sarah believes it is a fun and dynamic market to design for. n To read more about this project, visit: www.fineandcountry.com/uk/blog Woodlands is currently on the market through Fine & Country Kingswood.

South Africa Midrand, Gauteng Some 30 years back the owners, then in their early twenties, acquired this extraordinary piece of real estate. They embarked on designing and building their family home and have since enjoyed their tranquil lifestyle surrounded by indigenous flora and fauna. The rambling driveway perfectly illustrates the extent of the elevation of the site as well as the indigenous flora which has been preserved over the period of their ownership. It is exceptional to imagine how harmoniously humans and nature have co-habitated whilst the hustle and bustle of Midrand, Sandton and beyond has developed around them.

The elevation on the southern boundary reaches over the Kyalami Race track in the foreground. The extent of the site also has a boundary which adjoins the Kyalami Castle, built in 1992 by a Greek millionaire as his family residence, which later became a tourist attraction and iconic building. The vision of this site would be an exclusive residential estate and to maintain a vast amount of its natural vegetation.

Expanding on an investment opportunity which has no limits, the site would be befitting to a true Out of Africa 5-Star boutique hotel in the same stature of The Saxon, bringing a much needed luxury establishment to the North of Johannesburg.

Estonian Golf and Country Club

E

stonian Golf and Country Club is regarded as Estonia’s finest golf venue and has now taken its rightful place in Golf World Magazine’s prestigious Top 100 European Courses, a spectacular achievement for a venue in an emerging golf nation. Situated just half an hour from the centre of Estonia’s capital city Tallinn, and only a 15-minute drive from Tallinn International Airport, the venue comprises an 18-hole Championship Sea Course, a 9-hole links-style Stone Course, clubhouse and 125 residential plots.

The Club is embarking on a new phase of expansion with the construction of a second 18-hole golf course designed

by Annika Sorenstam, her first golf course design in Europe. Construction of an on-site hotel, spa and sports facilities are also planned.

Estonian Golf and Country Club is a unique living space with a range of properties available for sale ranging from plots to fully furnished golf villas. The real estate development commenced in 2006 and properties are located within golf villages around the golf course, each village having a different architect. For example, the Helme Village has houses designed to resemble a Boathouse or a Captain’s Tower whilst the Tuleraua village is located in the primeval mixed forest – ideal for peaceful and tranquil living enabling an appreciation of its special aura and energy.

Since launching, 53 of the 125 plots are sold and the majority of these plots are now developed with a strong residential community residing at the venue.

Plots are available for sale in sizes 1000 to 2000 m2 with plots prices starting from 120,000€ per plot (85€ per m2).

This year the resort is developing golf villas and apartments. There will be two buildings with 8 two and three bedroom apartments. Each property is equipped with sauna, terrace and will have Scandinavian interior design. The views from the apartments are to the 9 hole golf course.

STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS

A strategy for success Professional property marketing on a local, regional, national and international level.

F

ine & Country understands moving home is one of the most important decisions you can make; your home is both a financial and emotional investment.

Down the hallway onto the fairway We understand that those looking at buying a property on a golf course are not just investing in a home, they are investing in a lifestyle; to wake up and walk directly onto the green and to spend the morning playing a few rounds, before retreating to the clubhouse for a spot of lunch.

This is why Fine & Country has teamed up with European Tour Properties to form a specialist division, Fine & Country Golf Living. The division is dedicated to the marketing and sale of an elite collection of golf properties on some of the world’s most exclusive golf courses.

Fine & Country takes the instruction to sell your home as a privilege, an honour and as a very serious commitment to you. Through excellent marketing, we deliver an efficient sales process and a courteous, careful service.

The more expensive property demands a more extensive presentation in order to enhance the character of the property, the location, the area, the facilities and the lifestyle – for all prospective buyers.

The widespread exposure of your property is crucial. In today’s market not only is the mobility of buyers greater than ever, but also the ways in which they may access information.

Your prospective buyer could come from, quite literally, anywhere - through local and regional marketing, through national newspapers and magazines or, increasingly, internationally using the interactive technologies such as the internet, touchscreens and mobile phones.

Instruct Fine & Country and you could benefit from our knowledge, experience, expertise and contacts and our well trained, educated and courteous staff. You are assisted, advised and informed through each stage of the whole transaction.

“Sophisticated, intelligent and creative marketing that provides the type of information buyers would never normally see – it is a case of presenting and promoting your property as if it were our own.”
