The awards keep piling up for Big Canoe — a lush, mountain community an hour north of Atlanta.

For residents, it’s easy to see why. Big Canoe is a place where you can breathe real air, walk among trees and flora and behold the fleeting wonder of a deer crossing your path.

The community — 8,000-plus acres with 2,000 acres of usable green space — is dynamic and thriving, as evidenced by new neighborhoods sprouting up within its gates, and an ever-widening stock of new homes and homesites providing prospective buyers with more and more choices in size, design and amenities.

Big Canoe has become a favorite weekend home of city dwellers and suburbanites with busy schedules, as well as an ideal place for growing families that recognize the need for a balanced life.

As its sterling reputation continues to spread, Big Canoe is also drawing second-home and early-retiree buyers from throughout the Southeastern U.S. and beyond.

The majority of Big Canoe dwellers use their homes as a primary residence, giving the community the feel of a small town. The more than 50 social clubs — from birders to wood carvers, creative writing to billiards — are robust and growing.

Many of Big Canoe’s award-winning amenities cater to active lifestyles, be it fishing on trout-stocked lakes; playing the spectacular 27-hole championship golf course that winds its way through hilly terrain; using the state-of-theart fitness center; the tennis center; or luxuriating at one of the swim clubs. Or maybe it’s just taking a leisurely walk on one of the more than 20 miles of trails.

Big Canoe — an hour from Atlanta, but it feels like a

million miles away.

Exceptional Properties

Rookwood: :

I

nternational by design, this superb ten acre mountaintop estate offers an unobstructed 270 degree view of the valley below. This estate has had a love affair with two families: one, the client and one, the architect:a love affair with the mountain, the view and the home. This magnificent oriental inspired residence is a peaceful place surrounded by waterfalls, koi ponds and gardens that are stunning throughout the year. There is quite a story to tell about this exquisite residence on a mountaintop in Greenville, South Carolina.

In the late 1980’s Ben Rook, a commercial architect, and CEO of Odell Associates, Inc. a global architectural firm, was approached by a prominent client to design a residence for his family. Ben did not do residential design work and declined, but this particular client was very insistent, and eventually Mr. Rook agreed. The site for the residence was atop Paris Mountain in Greenville, South Carolina.

Using the Japanese design and theme of Feng Shui, Ben eventually created a central pavilion and five pavilions connecting each other.

The final result comes from years of labor, and it was well worth the wait.

As you round the bend in the road you do not immediately see the home. In fact it is a surprise that quietly and beautifully unfolds like a new spring flower. The entrance is framed gently and tastefully by seasonal flowers and the koi are your only greeters. The waterfall announces your

A Love Affair

arrival yet beckons you to stay. There is no doubt of the entrance ringed in dominant red. Upon entering, the magnificent view of the valley draws you immediately outside. The expansive grassy lawn unfolds to unending woods that stretch for miles below. Ben never guessed that he would one day have the opportunity to own the home, but he did. Only the second owner, Ben and his wife, Becca, have enjoyed the house and gardens. “ What I love so about the house, “Becca says “ is the open feeling of the glass walls and sensing that the outside can come in.” “I can never grow tired of the incredible feeling of peace here.”

The home has over 7,000 square feet with a magnificent indoor and outdoor swimming pool as well as a hot tub . Part of the evolution of the property under the care of the Rooks has been the magnificent gardens which are seasonal in nature and really quite low maintenance. You will notice more grassy areas mingled with plantings at the entry of the drive , and then transitioned to a more finished landscape above the waterfall.

The green house is the envy of every gardener!

The entire house takes advantage of the breathtaking view including all of the bedrooms, the living room, dining room, library, and the kitchen. The dining room and living room share a stunning open fireplace. A detached studio features a soaring ceiling and fireplace and could be used as an office or separate guest quarters.

For information, please contact RPLG International at 713-302-0555.

Lonesome Ridge at Lonesome Valley, Cashiers, North Carolina

B

efore Cashiers developed into the quaint mountain village that it is today, the Cherokee knew this plateau at 3,500 feet as a cool, lush campground that figured prominently in their seasonal migrations.

Many others have since discovered the natural wonders of this temperate forest nestled high upon the ancient slopes of the Blue Ridge Escarpment.

Bisected by the Eastern Continental Divide and protected by thousands of surrounding acres of the Nantahala National Forest, Cashiers is cherished as a unique mountain destination offering nationally ranked golf courses, award winning restaurants, many notable communities and charming antique shops.

Current development is balanced with hundreds of miles of hiking trails and fly fishing streams, countless waterfalls, magnificent granite faces, and enough adventure to satisfy any outdoor enthusiast.

Cashiers is located in southwestern North Carolina, in the southern Appalachian Mountains, just north of the common boundary point of North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina. Driving time is within three hours of Atlanta, Charlotte, Chattanooga, Augusta and Columbia and less than five hours from Knoxville and Birmingham. Nearby airports include Asheville (1.25 hours), Greenville (1.75 hours), Atlanta (3 hours) and Charlotte (3 hours).

Just two miles east of the center of Cashiers, Lonesome Valley enjoys a rich history dating back to 1895 when E.H. Jennings acquired over 35,000 acres in the mountains of western North Carolina. Following the development of several prestigious inns along regional lakes, the Jennings family retained 800 acres of the original holdings as their own private retreat. In 2004 the family decided to invite other families and friends to share their mountain cove, affectionately known as Lonesome Valley. And so this vibrant community began.

Founded upon the principles of true conservation, Lonesome Valley successfully blends thoughtful development with the protection of its vast natural resources. Over one third of the Valley is forever preserved as common green space, utilizing stream corridors, meadows and forests as natural buffers between generously sized estates. With sufficient golf and traditional country club amenities offered by other area communities, Lonesome Valley has instead focused on hiking, fishing, boating, swimming and other nature-based, family-friendly activities. Simplicity, rest and recreation combine with fine dining (at Canyon Kitchen with James Beard Award Finalist, Chef John Fleer) and festive gatherings to create the ethos of this community. Based on the enduring commitment to purposeful excellence established five generations ago, Lonesome Valley will continue to provide joyful family memories for generations to come.

Lonesome Valley is framed by Cow Rock Mountain and Laurel Knob along with other ridges that form the largest box canyon in the East. At 4,200 feet atop Cow Rock Mountain exists Lonesome Ridge, a 90+ acre park-like estate overlooking the valley below. With unsurpassed vistas in every direction, flat and gently sloping topography, paved roads and utilities already established, and several well groomed homesites, this estate can be preserved as a single large tract or subdivided into as many as six individual parcels.

Several trails link a variety of viewing decks, wildflower meadows, picnic and gaming areas on manicured lawns along with walking connections to Lonesome Valley to the west and Panthertown Valley to the northeast.

Panthertown Valley, comprising over six thousand acres of Nantahala National Forest, is known as the “Yosemite of the East” with its signature granite faces, trout streams and miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking.

Lonesome Ridge is a pinnacle property with exceptional characteristics, providing unique opportunities to invest in family, friends and the future.

Montauk Property Owners

Expand the Possibilities of Oceanfront Living

F

or immediate release…New York investor Henry Druker and Matt Goldman, the co-founder behind the highly successful Blue Man Group theatrical productions, have embarked upon a creative real estate venture in Montauk, NY, the seaside hamlet fast emerging as the “it” spot for investment in the Hamptons. The neighbors have created a virtual merger of two prime, contiguous 1 ½ acre lots to provide an exceptional oceanfront land opportunity on Montauk’s coveted Gold Coast that counts Robert DiNiro, Jann Wenner, Steven Roth and Ralph Lauren as neighbors.

The merger of the two adjacent 1½ acre parcels results in an oversized oceanfront land offering with 186’+/- of pristine ocean frontage. With an ideal elevation of 55’, the expanded setting is the perfect location for a spectacular beachfront residence commanding some of the area’s most dramatic ocean vistas.

The property merger was the creative work of Druker, a long-time resident of East Hampton, NY, and Goldman a long time resident of Montauk.

Druker owns his lot in partnership with Red McCombs, the co-founder of Clear Channel Communications and former owner of the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Vikings. They together envisioned the intrinsic value of a larger ocean front site - flexibility for development, more generous setbacks and greater preservation of the open spaces and vistas that distinguish Montauk and its landscape. Druker and Goldman each recognized that their neighboring individual lots would be even more special if combined.

To imagine the possibilities for development within all town specifications, Druker and Goldman commissioned the prestigious East Hampton architectural firm of Fleetwood & McMullan, LLC to create a site plan for the newly expanded 3-acre parcel. A thoughtful plan was conceived for a spectacular, up to 10,000 sq. ft. home overlooking a 60-foot ocean side

pool and short, meandering private path to the magnificent beachfront.

The plan is available for consideration by prospective buyers.

The unique features of this property offering will undoubtedly appeal to savvy buyers. The building envelope conforms to all East Hampton Town specifications, the governing body over Montauk development. This is an important attribute in an area that fiercely protects its natural lands, wildlife and waterfront. Druker had previously preserved and moved a Fleetwood designed home from a neighbor’s lot to his own in the town of East Hampton. Druker and Goldman engaged the support of town officials for the combined lot in Montauk while forming their partnership.

The combined lot offers the new buyer a larger home and more dramatic ocean side pool than what could be built on either lot individually, while creating less density and development than what would occur if each lot were individually developed. The result is more privacy, open space and generous set backs to neighboring properties.

Since the 1920’s preservationists have buffered Montauk against over development establishing abundant parkland, natural reserves and wildlife sanctuaries. Vacant property is relatively scarce in Montauk where nearly 2/3 of the land has been preserved. Today, Montauk maintains its unique blend of natural rugged coastline beauty peppered with eclectic housing opportunities ranging from dramatic oceanfront villas to quaint beach cottages. Montauk has enjoyed a real estate renaissance of late where deep-sea fisherman, avid surfers, artists, local residents, celebrity homeowners and summer residents peacefully coexist and mutually enjoy and respect the serenity, salty ocean air and relaxed vibe of this enclave at the easternmost tip of Long Island.

The Druker-Goldman property is a significant offering in an area where 3 prime ocean front acres are sought after and scarce. Offered at $12,500,000.

Picosa Ranch W

hen John B. Connally, three-term governor from 1963 to 1969, wanted to escape politics, it was to Picosa Ranch, 30 miles from downtown San Antonio, he and his wife, Nellie, retreated. When entertaining Presidents and other leaders, they hosted parties at the same destination. Connally was proud of his lifelong homestead, maintained through his tenure as governor, Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of the Treasury. His presence is still felt throughout the ranch, especially in his office where memorabilia have been preserved.

Some 40 years later, its sale will provide a new family the opportunity to create its own legacy at Picosa Ranch. With its proximity to San Antonio, increasingly a mecca of cultural and culinary arts, and to the Eagle Ford Shale, the property is an amazing opportunity for many varied ventures.

“Newcomers to Texas are fleeing high local and state taxes, cold weather, high crime and other problems,” said listing broker Rick Kuper of Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty. “The Picosa Ranch, deep in the heart of Texas, affords a golden opportunity to build a legacy for generations to come.”

Building a family legacy is all the more enjoyable knowing income from the Picosa’s extensive hunting operation can offset the ranch’s operating costs. With many luxurious trappings, hunting at Picosa Ranch is popular for corporate retreats and business transactions as well as serious social get-togethers. Among established breeds are trophy white tailed deer, upland game birds and exotic eland, oryx, addax and waterbucks.

Presently hunt packages last four days and three nights and include a guide, in-field transportation, game care, bass fishing and trap shooting.

Hunters see an average of 30 bucks a day, more when the rut is on.

Guests may fly onto the property via a 4,400-foot lighted airstrip; or, San Antonio International Airport is no more than 45 minutes away.

One of the benefits of continuing the commercial side of the ranch is its separation from the owners’ residence, many acres removed, at The South Range Lodge. This compound includes six finely appointed suites, each with handtooled leather accessories and a luxurious bathroom. The suites’ wrap-around porch invites long talks or studying nature. Between the main lodge and suites is a lagoon-like sunken pool with a swim-up bar. Within the lodge, itself a stylish renovation of a cattle barn, guests gather at the pool table, massive stone fireplace and flat screen TVs or play a game outdoors.

A full outdoor kitchen, called The Pit, has a fully equipped kitchen, surround sound and three large flat-screen TVs with BluRay all under a covered flagstone pavilion accommodates up to 40 tables.

Meanwhile back home….the Connally’s luxurious 8,200-square-foot main house was built with grand spaces for living and entertaining. Soaring ceilings and walls of glass create a modern sensibility, accentuated by native limestone and indigenous woods. Behind the main house is a fourbedroom guest house designed by famed architect O’Neil Ford, and a private swimming pool.

Residents enjoy nearby fishing at the on-site Fish Camp, as well as skeet shooting, horseback riding, swimming, biking, tennis, hunting or camera safaris. World-class golf and shopping are less than 45 minutes away in San Antonio.

For equestrians, horses thrive at a 43-stable horse barn with a full-size rodeo arena.

If your imagination is stirred by the possibilities, visit www.picosaranch.net then call Rick Kuper at 210.240.8282 for more information or to schedule a visit.

King of the

Hill Country D

eveloper’s Home- As they planned The Reserve at Lake Travis, developer Hal Jones and his partner Red McCombs envisioned an enclave for buyers who appreciated the environment, looking for a unique Texas lifestyle with resort style amenities. “I wanted you to be able to load your belongings on to a golf cart at your home and drive to your boat slip”, Jones said.

In the end, the project evolved into something completely unique. This 310 acre resort community in Austin Texas, lies on 3.5 miles of pristine shoreline along Lake Travis. Residents can secure their boats at the full-service marina, which offers 150 covered boat slips accommodating vessels up to 80 feet long. The gated, private club community includes a lazy river pool and slide with swim up bar, comprehensive equestrian center and lighted arena, lakeside lodge and grill, tennis courts, community fishing pond and coming soon, lakefront club house with restaurant, spa services and fitness center.

Now Jones has his personal estate, completed in 2008 on the market, as he advances his other developments. He plans to build a second residence in The Reserve. The homes’ cedar siding, hand-hewn Douglas Fur beams and 54 foot ceilings evoke the architecture style of the Rocky Mountains, one of Jones’ favorite get aways.

A native of Texas, Jones enjoys the outdoors, “I love indigenous materials” he said, describing the home’s 200 tons of rock formations and 140 year old reclaimed wood flooring. His study walls are fashioned in Pecky Cypress, a type of cypress with lens-shaped pockets that give the wood a three dimension look. “It’s just a really unique feel, almost like a honeycomb,” he said.

Jones is a developer known for his gift of finding rare land and turning it into something special for it’s owners. Also apparent in this one of a kind estate, inside and out with 7 acres of very unique waterfront, nothing compares in Texas. A developer who demands the very best, is now offering the very best in Texas Living.

Grab a piece of the Texas Hill country with a luxurious mountain-styled home on Lake Travis. 7,612 square feet of interior space and 3,900 additional feet of covered outdoor living, with 1200 feet of shoreline layered with century old oak trees. Panoramic views from every room.

Galveston Written Written by

by B. B. B. B. Smith Smith

N

ow that Galveston’s taking it’s rightful place among the premier beach destinations and luxury seaside residential sites, city promoters can laugh at the isle’s first moniker: “Isla de Malhado” (or “Isle of Doom”). Early Spanish explorers shipwrecked there perhaps didn’t hit it off so well with Karankawa and Alokisa Indians (some were said to be cannibals).

The Spanish prevailed and named their first permanent European settlement after Bernado de Galvez y Madrid, a colonial governor of Louisiana, played a significant role in the American Revolution. “Galvez” roughly translates “battle elf.” The legendary (6-foot-plus) pirate Jean Lafitte then made the isle his own while engaging in intrigues that today delight film visitors to the Strand area, once known as “Wall Street of the South.” Perhaps Lafitte’s ghost even walks the historical walled ruins of his former home on Harborside Dr., today watching cruise ships sail down the harbor that was once known as “Ellis Island of the South.”

And perhaps “doom” in that early name foretold the two worst hurricanes in the nation’s history (1900 and Ike) which so devastated Galveston that the incredibly stalwart islanders had to rebuild twice, creating not just one, but two miracle cities, explains Kelly Kelley, a premier Galveston real estate broker.

Now fabulous Victorian gingerbread houses and extravagant beachhouses overlook the Gulf of Mexico, Galveston Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway (and sometimes all three), part of the legacy of what islanders still called the “Free State of Galveston.” This tongue-incheek name references the freewheeling period during Prohibition when this was a Roaring Twenties resort haven. Wide-open gambling, liquor sales and other “delights” thrived under the mantle of “private clubs.”

(It was also called “Sin City of the South,” but that’s not mentioned now.) The famous 1926 “Pageant of Pulchritude” — that paraded an international array of scantily clad beauties along the beach — is said by many to have inspired the Miss America pageant. The rich and famous were regular visitors, including Bob Hope, Sammy Davis Jr., Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra.

Today a brand new Pleasure Pier, beautiful statuary, pocket parks and the incredible Gulf of Mexico delight walkers, bicyclists and motorists along Seawall Boulevard which is actually a protective device for the city

that proved its worth during Hurricane Ike. The story of this wall and the actual raising of the city after the 1900 storm is a must-see historical movie shown in the same Strand area as the Jean Lafitte film.

“Fun” is the byword in the Strand today, with its views of the harbor and the nation’s only remaining free major ferry (86+ cars each). With the influx of upper-echelon residents have come all the amenities demanded by those who can afford the very best in restaurants, entertainment, arts, culture. In winter, out come museum-quality Victorian costumes for “Dickens on the Strand” festival. In spring, the nation’s third largest Mardi Gras celebration draws huge crowds.

The Strand is one of the isle’s six historical districts, which together rank as one of the nation’s largest and most historically significant collections of 19th Century buildings. A bragging point for BOIs (Born on Island-ers) is that over 60 structures are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, including (in the Greater Galveston area) war embattlements that date back to the 1800s.

While tourism is now Galveston’s major focus, both the University of Texas Medical Branch and Texas A&M’s extensive maritime units are major employers as is Galveston’s extensive (and quite historically powerful) banking and insurance industries.

Just a hop-skip-jump from the explosive Greater Houston area, Galveston yet as successfully maintained its small town atmosphere and friendliness. Golf carts are as popular a mode of transportation as cars in many areas. Shuttles for tourists to key island highlights are just as helpful for residents and shopping is a boutique-lover’s delight. Antique lovers too!

As with any exciting city, of course, an insider’s knowledge is key to property purchases in the most coveted areas. As the area’s premier property broker — Kelly knows the island’s history, its neighborhoods, its movers-and-shakers and where its exciting future is headed. A Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, Kelly has the highly specialized inside track and the ear of those in the know, along with the professionalism, state-of-the-art marketing technology, expert team and “good friend” personality to make finding just the right home a fun, pleasurable and very rewarding experience.

Malibu

Written Written by

by B. B. B. B. Smith Smith

T

he “Malibu Lifestyle” really says it all. This stunningly beautiful, affluent beachfront city in northwestern Los Angeles sits on a 27mile strip of prime Pacific coastline. “The Bu,” as surfers, locals and Alan Harper call it, is famous for its warm, sandy beaches that front the luxurious homes of many residents. Others live in the picturesque narrow canyons formed by the Santa Monica Mountains to the North and Topanga Canyon to the East.

Malibu is easier to pronounce than “Humaliwo” — the Native American word for “the surf sounds loudly.”

Drop the “Hu” and you’ll see where the new name derived, explains Marcus Beck of Prudential Malibu Realty, top Realtor to the rich and famous and wannabes looking for homes in Malibu. Spectacular scenery abounds at every turn. Here, as Marcus says, “nature provides an awesome playground.”

Early Spanish influences are still strongly felt in this stretch that was once closely guarded private property. The Rindges, owners of the original 13,000 ranch, actually hired guards back in the late 1800s to keep trespassers out. They even defeated the Southern Pacific Railroad in court, stopping tracks from being laid. (Their home, the Rindge House, a National Register site, can be seen in Malibu Creek State Park.)

Ah, but you can’t fight City Hall. The state, wanting to build the Pacific Coast Highway, went to court too, and won. But Rhoda May Rindge had the final word, of sorts. Widowed, she refused to sell off her land, and opened a small ceramic tile factory that grew to over 100 workers. Time and the economy won in the end. But Rhoda May’s distinctive Moorish/ Arts & Crafts creations, known as Malibu tiles, now are found in luxury homes throughout Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. She is remembered.

Oil tycoon J. Paul Getty opened his Getty Villa in Malibu, patterning it after the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum and other ancient sites. Now it’s a museum beyond compare.

Actually, you could spend the next 20 years trying to see all the celebrities’ homes in Malibu. To name just a few of the past and current residents:

Barbara Streisand, Jeff Bridges, Charles Bronson, Mel Brooks, Pierce Brosnan, Gary Busey, Dyan Cannon, Johnny Carson, Cher, Dick Clark, Jackie Collins, Robert Conrad, Laura Dern, Bruce Dern, Danny DeVito, Robert Downey Jr., Robert Duval, Bob Dylan . . . and that just takes you through the letter D! Fortunately, tourist maps of celebrity homes are available.

Malibu Colony has become one of the area’s most famous districts. A gated community with multi-million dollar homes on tiny lots, it offers some of the most breathtaking wide-span views of the Pacific Coast. Close to Malibu Colony is Malibu Lagoon, part of a 169-acre state park, and a topnotch spot for bird watching. Best time is spring and fall when migratory fowl make their annual trek to and from Alaska and Central America.

Surfers from across the globe are attracted to Malibu’s World Surfing Preserves. This program was launched by the Save the Waves Coalition to designate and enshrine international waves surf zones and surrounding environments. Malibu’s Surfrider Beach was designated as the first World Surfing Reserve site to protect and preserve Malibu as an iconic surf site.

Malibu is close to the “big city” of Los Angeles for easy commute, yet far enough away to retain that small town friendliness and helpfulness.

Malibu’s schools are said to be the best in the Los Angeles area and Pepperdine University in Malibu has an international reputation.

Answering to higher standards is typical of Malibu as it is with Marcus Beck of Prudential Malibu Realty. A third generation Malibu native, and lifelong Malibu resident, Marcus hit the ground running as a new Realtor by winning “Outstanding Performance First Year with Company” award.

From that point on, Marcus Beck’s reputation as a Realtor never slowed.

He has been a “Top Producing Realtor” consistently in a career that requires perseverance in a continually changing marketplace. His longtime presence among those for whom he is providing the perfect residence gives him the edge needed to see beyond a simple “deal.”

Marcus can provide local knowledge and perspective of the upscale Malibu community, where it has been and where it is going, with insight only a true “insider” can possess.
