1, 7, 10, 19... These arent my lucky numbers or the beginning of my latest Powerball ticket (although, now that you mention it, maybe they should be). These are actually some key numbers that jump out at me when I look at this years Ultimate Homes 2013 list. The 1 is in honor of the new No. 1 listing, a spectacular offering in Dallas. The 25acre property known as the Crespi-Hicks Estate came on the market at $135 million and became the most expensive home for sale in the United States. Designed for royalty and by a master of design, the property has a wonderful history and many architectural highlights. The fact that it is just 8 minutes from downtown Dallas adds another unique characteristic to this landmark estate. The magnificent 7, in this case, represents the number of nine-digit prices youll find at the top of the list. Yes, the $100 million club, as many refer to it, has grown quite a bit since last year, with seven estates priced at $100 million or more. Many luxury experts have noted that $100 million price tag is no longer so unusual, but, for this writer, I must admit that it still gives me pause to see so many homes priced at this level. Of course, the 10 is for this years Top 10 Ultimate Homes. The 2013 list sets itself apart as the most-expensive collection in Ultimate history. Not only are there seven $100 million-plus listings, but the lowest-priced properties sit at $75 million (see page 69 for the complete list and story). Lastly, there is 19, which simply notes the number of states represented on this years list. If my memory serves me, this number was higher last year, and possibly as high as 27 in years past. It simply means that you would need to travel to a few less places to visit all of 2013s Ultimate Homes, with Florida, New York and California (as always) having the most homes on the list. Of course, you can begin your tour without leaving the comfort of your chair and with a simple flip of the page. Ultimate Homes can be found throughout the magazine (such as page 26), with the formal Ultimate Homes section starting on page 65. Until next time...

Harvey is the owner and broker of acclaimed real estate firm, The Harvey Team, and is assisted by his wife, Becky, with their boutique practice specializing in customized services for affluent buyers and sellers.

NEWS&NOTES
BY KIMBERLY TURNER
AS LUXURY CONTINUES TO REBOUND, WE FOLLOW THE LATEST REPORTS FROM AROUND THE UNITED STATES.
BILTMORE DISTRICT SEES STRONG SALES

Phoenix, Ariz. Biltmores real estate market is off to a booming start this year. In January alone, 10 home sales closed in the high-end developments surrounding the famed Arizona Biltmore Hotel, up from three sales last January, according to Walt Danley Realtys Biltmore market report. January is usually a quiet month here. The perception is that we are already past the bottom and people want to jump in before prices start to rise, says Danley. For the last 18 months the average pricing in Biltmore has not moved very much, but as inventory continues to decrease and there are fewer distressed sales, when a nice property comes on the market and it is priced properly, it sells, Danley says. All the data we are showing in Phoenix and Biltmore says that the market will continue to get better.

MONTAGE RESIDENCES REACHES $100 MILLION SOLD

Park City, Utah With 27 residences purchased and under contract in 27 months, since its grand opening in December 2010, Montage Residences Deer Valley already has reached the $100 million sales milestone. In 2012, 10 residences sold for $40 million, including the developments largest unit (6,858 square feet) for $8.25 million, making it the most expensive luxury condominium to sell in Park City last year. Families are recognizing Montage Residences Deer Valley provides the consummate retreat with unprecedented ski-in/skiout access, privacy and year-round mountain activities for all ages, says Ed Rehill, director of sales for Montage Residences Deer Valley. The brisk activity positions the development as a market leader in the region and continues to drive the luxury condominium market in Park City.

DEMAND RISING IN ORLANDO, NAPLES
Orlando, Fla. Demand for homes and land is rising in Florida, with particular interest increasing in the Orlando and Naples areas. Orlando benefits from the different income levels and stages of life, and in Naples it is a retiree phenomenon, says Lesley Deutch, senior vice president of John Burns Real Estate Consulting, LLC. It is very clear to the buyers, prices are going up. She says new home prices in many communities are rising 1 to 2 percent per month. Additionally, builders are opting to buy raw, untitled land in Orlando to gain a position and market share, and, in some submarkets land, and finished lot prices now have surpassed peak levels. The builders and developers are becoming much more aware of consumer preferences, so they are building to the buyer rather than the buyer coming to the builder, Deutch says.

ESCAPE THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY THIS SUMMER IN THE CRISP, DRY AIR OF THE HIGH ROCKIES OF COLORADO
When people think of green or eco homes they normally think of ultramodern homes lacking in creature comforts. Probably the last thing they think of is an Old World log home with the grandeur of a bygone age. The owner, a successful tech and green entrepreneur who built this multigenerational legacy home, feels that building green just makes sense. A green home has annual running costs lower than a house this size normally costs for a month, incredibly low taxes, and it showcases spacious and luxuriant living. Built with an unlimited budget, with no expense spared, this legacy lodge encompasses 14,773 square feet. It is nestled on nearly 3 breathtaking acres (with 30 more available for separate purchase) adjacent to one of Colorados most popular resort towns, Winter Park. Set in Grand County, the heart of the Rocky Mountains and home to Rocky Mountain National Park, this estate has awe-inspiring, 360-degree, picture-perfect views. With 6 bedrooms, 7 full and 3 half bathrooms, this masterpiece is one that you will never want to leave. Few homes have ever achieved this feeling of impeccable quality. Divide View Lodge has privacy, breathtaking views, all imaginable modern technology, style, space, substance, proximity to airports and easy access all rolled together into the real estate opportunity of a lifetime.

FEATURING Minerals That Rock Your Room Virtual Design Understated Elegance
Minerals That Rock Your Room

By Ken Weingartner
A mineral expert and interior designer are teaming up to bring Mother Nature's artwork into your home.
Silver Germany
arc Weill and Richard Baquero share the same vision when it comes to adding luster to home dcor: Minerals rock. Weill, a mineral collector and expert, in April finalized a partnership with interior designer Baquero to market mineral and gems to homeowners interested in bringing natures beauty indoors. Weill and Baquero plan to offer a line of minerals at various price points including a signature series of near-investment-grade pieces as well as produce custom fabrications, lighting, art and furniture. We see a lot of different branches to this market, says Baquero, a Manhattan-based designer who for a number of years has incorporated minerals into his interiors and met Weill a decade ago while creating a private collectors gallery for Weills Connecticut home. The partnership was a tie-in between my knowledge in how minerals are being presented in showrooms and retail situations as aesthetic pieces and Marc understanding where they come from and how to obtain them. It was a natural fit. Weills interest in minerals began during his childhood when he found a tourmaline crystal while on a Cub Scout field trip. His interest turned into a full-fledged passion when his son became interested in minerals 14 years ago. Since then, Weills collection has been featured in publications, museums, institutional galleries and universities. This is really Mother Natures artwork and theres no one as good as Mother Nature, at least in my opinion, in terms of artwork, says Weill. What I appreciated in Richard was his ability to show the stones in the best light, putting the right colors in the right orientation. He puts pieces together so they fit the interior and really get noticed and give you the wow factor. I think our collaboration is perfect because we have different sides of the skill set.

Baquero, who opened his design firm RAB/ID in 2001, also was fond of minerals since childhood and frequently uses decorative minerals in his interiors. Its something Ive always appreciated, like when you find a shell on the beach and it turns into something you put on your shelf, says Baquero. I started using minerals because they can change a room like putting a flower arrangement in the middle of a table. It sparkles, it changes color; it does so much. People gravitate to it. Very few things can do that for me in an interior. And there is beauty in minerals, from $5 to $5 million; its quite unique in that sense. Minerals can be used in a variety of ways in interiors, from standing alone to being incorporated into pieces such as doorknobs, chandeliers, wall sconces, coasters and votive candleholders. But the best thing about minerals, says Weill, is the pleasure they can bring homeowners, naturally. You dont have to know anything about the science of minerals to enjoy their beauty, says Weill. You just find things that you think are really beautiful. This is something that makes you feel good and you really begin to appreciate the planet we live on.

Virtual Design
Some interior designers are now virtually offering their services, designing a room without stepping foot in it.
By Camilla McLaughlin
Inspiration boards such as this one from Interior Design Service Online help clients envision and experience the potential look and feel of the space.
hen Alexis Diaz was ready to move into a newly constructed home, she knew she would need help pulling it together. But the cost of hiring a designer in her area, ultra-pricey Aspen, could put more than a serious dent into a budget for furnishings, even for professionals like Diaz and her husband. Searching online for inspiration, Diaz came across virtual design. Unlike traditional designers, online or virtual designers never set foot in clients homes. Instead, they work remotely using dimensions and photos clients submit. Although each designer has their own process, most use extensive questionnaires as well as phone interviews to identify clients style, preferences, planned use of the space and lifestyle. In return, they create a personalized design and provide a design guide that walks clients through each phase of a makeover, a layout with a space plan illustrating where everything is placed, a concept board to help visualize the design, and product recommendations with web links and pricing for furnishings. But, unlike traditional services, clients have to orchestrate bringing the vision to fruition. The price is a fraction a smidge according to Lisa Ellis, CEO of Room Design Online of traditional design services. The quality of our designs rivals those designed by way of traditional on-site interior designers, Ellis shares, noting, Clients still have access to the same to the trade products. After checking references and interviewing past clients, Diaz settled on Lisa Michelle Davidson, owner of Interior Design Service Online, eventually opting for a whole house design. The end result? Amazing! she shares. It is so warm and cohesive and pulled together. Diaz still marvels how well her home reflects her individual style. Lisa has never been to my house, yet she pulled it off. Having a designer who was accessible and flexible was important for Diaz, who was particularly
impressed with the one-on-one support Davidson provided. Good designers understand the job doesnt end when plans are completed. Like many online designers, Davidson, who has appeared on HGTVs Designer Challenge, also works as a traditional designer. She started her online business in 2007. Since then, she says, it has blossomed, almost taking on a life of its own. Diaz has two friends who are designers but were too expensive for her. They were so impressed with her rooms that both have gone into virtual design to supplement the practice and to also help people without mega budgets. And one surprise for Davidson and Ellis has been international responses, especially from the Middle East. Ellis had one client, a member of a royal family, who didnt like the royal designer and decided to strike out on her own. Typically, virtual designers offer a range of services from individual consultations to a whole house design. Prices range from under $500 for a room to several thousand. But price is only one draw for clients, who often want to complete the work at their own pace. Additionally, virtual design can be a quick problem solver. For example, Ellis gets calls from clients who are in the middle of their own design but realize it isnt quite coming together, or who still want to have a hand in their own design. Just as with traditional designers, potential clients need to do their homework, including interviewing past clients. Also, not all decorators are designers, and designers typically have completed a specific educational program, often earning a degree in design or the fine arts, and have passed a qualifying exam. Both Davidson and Ellis (as well as the designers who work for her) have a designation from the American Society of Interior Designers. While nothing can duplicate being on site, some budget-conscious consumers say there is nothing second best about virtual design.

Understated Elegance
By Kimberly Turner
Designer Christopher Peacock may be known for his kitchen cabinetry, but now hes bringing his tasteful creations to other rooms including a new showroom in New York City.
18 years old, a part-time job delivering cabinetry for a little company in England exposed designer Christopher Peacock to a world that not only he had never seen before, but one that would launch him into his expansive company that has been doing business now for 20 years. I ended up getting very involved in the business, says Peacock. I think it was because I was exposed to very simple design and interiors. Taking inspiration from anything and everything, Peacock sets out to make the cabinetry or room feel natural when he designs. My goal is not to make a feature of what I am doing, but to make what I am doing meld into its surroundings, says Peacock. Understated elegance is the goal for me. I rather keep things simple, classic and easy on the eye. For Peacock, the designing process begins with listening to clients desires and then sketching with a traditional pen and paper, something that Peacock always has loved to do since he was a child. I never try to complete the design in the process and I think the client interaction is extremely important, says Peacock, as one of his favorite parts of designing is the person-to-person collaboration and feedback. Peacocks designs are specifically detailed for each client. We are very fortunate to have such discerning clientele that are educated about the process and have been exposed to amazing things through travels, interiors of friends homes or their own design journey, says Peacock. The biggest challenge when designing, according to Peacock, is to know when to stop and when to institute a quiet restraint.

This kitchen from Christopher Peacocks Chicago showroom features his Signature Collection. For this collection, every project is individually designed by Peacock to create an heirloom-quality space. It is available for every room in the home, and is often designed for a mens study or library. The cabinetry is painted with Calcium from Christopher Peacock Paint, and the walls are, ironically, painted in Drab.

When we are designing, we are layering products into a space, but that doesnt represent the entire picture. Once we do our work, the interior decoration continues with a vase of flowers, fabric or a pillow. Yet, even more of a challenge for Peacock is designing a showroom, which appeals to a larger audience. Going for eye-catching materials and designs, he leans toward color and being bold. Peacocks latest showroom in New York City emphasizes these traits. I really liked the dressing room we did; it was a new collection for us, says Peacock. It is very simple and classic. All the interiors of the closet cabinetry
are lined in leather, the hardware we used is 24-karat gold and we have open display cubbies for shoes or pocketbooks, which are in-lined with suede. It sounds very glamorous, but it has a very quiet feel to it. Peacock has expanded from cabinetry to hardware, lighting and other interior pieces. And if showrooms and custom pieces werent enough, Peacock also developed his own paint line, with 90 colors and several different finishes. Imported from Europe, it is high-quality paint that will stand the test of time. Peacock and his team hand-paint and handbrush the cabinetry after it is installed, which allows
them to get a perfect color scheme. Cabinetry by its nature is modular and applying the paint in the way we do, we are able to create this seamless feel to the finish, says Peacock. But, perhaps, what is most unique about Christopher Peacocks designs and company is that they do everything themselves, all made in America. From the initial concept and manufacture to the installation and finishing on the cabinetry, Peacock and his team do it all themselves. I think that is very important; it allows us to keep the quality and standard of service up across the board.

DEDICATED TO RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES IN EXCESS OF $5 MILLION
An Astonishing Vision Comes True

Few new estates would be more fitting for the cover of this issue than Le Palais, one of the most exciting properties on the market today. Almost an acre of specimen plantings, gorgeous olive and magnolia trees, and statuesque palms transform the three-story, approximately 48,000-square-foot home into a lush oasis in the heart of Beverly Hills. At once timeless and forward-looking, this estate gives a preview of what could be the new aesthetic for luxury properties. A classic exterior, reminiscent of a French chateau, gives way to dramatic interior spaces with beautifully orchestrated, extraordinary finishes. Its an incredibly creative design, observes Joyce Rey, executive director of Coldwell Banker Previews International. The scale might be dramatic and the sensibility decidedly contemporary, but it is elegant, gracious and warm. Stacy Gottula, also with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, who is listing the property with Rey, emphasizes the livability. This is an estate designed foremost as a home. It is inviting, private and spectacularly beautiful. Gottula credits the owner, Mohammed Hadid, with deftly balancing all these elements. He has an amazing talent for creating a sense of space and volume. The scale of the house is extremely dramatic. Proportions such as a central 90foot-long gallery leading from the foyer to the main rooms are lavish, but superbly executed. Polished, rare woods contrast with richly hued marble and hand-cut Lalique-style glass doors and crystal chandeliers. Throughout, subtle curves soften the clean lines and geometric shapes. Everywhere, hidden treasures such as an authentic Moroccan room, rich with intricate jewel-tone finishes and luxurious fabrics, or the exquisite tiles in the Turkish pool, delight and bring an opulent surprise. Like all premier estates, this property offers total privacy, yet its only steps from the Beverly Hills Hotel. Pass through the gates here, and, Rey says, You feel as though you have been transported hundreds of miles away to another place. The value of a private paradise is infinite, but the price for Le Palais is $58 million. For more on this property, please see pages 90-91.

uxury is leading the housing recovery, says Laurie MooreMoore, founder and CEO of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, about the picture painted by data from the Institutes national luxury market report of highend markets all over the country. Nowhere is this more true than in the West, where every metric shows home sales and prices outpacing almost every region except for Washington, D.C. Western states are driving the rebound in prices nationally, says Mark Fleming, chief economist for Core Logic, of their most recent data. Year-over-year prices in California are up 15.3 percent; in Hawaii, 14.6 percent; in Oregon, 12.1 percent; and in Washington, 10.1 percent. Areas in Southern California that are historically recognized as luxury enclaves are all seeing increased demand, with prices dramatically higher, and I am speaking of millions of dollars more, just in the last six months, observes Bob Hurwitz of the Hurwitz James Company. The year 2012 will be the last time we saw real estate and money on sale. This year, money is on sale and real estate is going to get more expensive, says Mark McLaughlin, CEO of Pacific Union International.
In Seattle, double-digit price gains in 2012 followed equally dramatic declines in 2011, making it, along with Las Vegas, one of Trulias top turnaround markets. California metros and Seattle also top the National Association of Realtors list of locations with the largest year-over-year decline in the number of homes on the market. With year-over-year price appreciation of 17.3 percent in January 2013 on the Case Shiller Index, San Francisco continues to be one of the hottest markets in the country, only topped by Phoenixs 23.2 percent price gain. Southern Californias February sales were the highest in six years, with properties priced at $500,000 or above, accounting for 24.9 percent of all sales. Statewide in California, a 39-percent drop in the number of homes for sale put a damper on transactions in some price brackets, while sales of homes priced above $500,000 rose almost 31 percent year-over-year in February. Overall, more than half of home sales are receiving multiple offers, with homes getting an average of four to five offers, and some even more, explains California Association of Realtors Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young. Lack of inventory (simply having too few homes to sell) is the foundation for a number of trends playing out along the West Coast, in addition to being the main catalyst for rising prices. We are definitely seeing multiple offers on well-priced properties, says Joyce Rey, executive director of Coldwell Banker Previews International. Several of Reys properties sold before they were formally introduced to the market, while the sellers were preparing them for the market. As the most desirable properties become scarce, agents are looking at properties that were taken off the market as potentials for buyers. Steve Mavromihalis with Pacific Union International and Christies International represented the buyers in three of the biggest sales in the Bay Area last year. Of those, he says, only one property was actually on the market. In California, pocket listings, for-sale properties that are not on the MLS, are becoming so commonplace that they are no longer an exception in the market. Although the moniker has a tinge of something clandestine, the incentive is quite often a desire on the part of sellers, particularly owners of super-luxury homes, for anonymity. Foreign nationals continue to be a catalyst in many of these markets. Views and privacy are emerging as top priorities for buyers who, in some locations, are quite willing to spend $1 million or more for a teardown. The market is the hottest I have seen in years. There is a real lack of inventory, so the activity level for quality properties is very high. This includes the ultra high end. I have four listings right now priced over $50 million and the number of serious inquiries from qualified buyers is actually quite astounding, observes Hurwitz.

Putting a Price on Passion

Many of the most expensive homes in the U.S. are not trophies they are legacies.
tremendous draw of U.S. properties (and prices) in the global marketplace. The jump from $50 million to $117 million in two years is more than significant, and this years Ultimate list reveals just how much the ultra market has changed. Most expensive is a $135 million estate in Dallas. Last years No. 2 property, Fleur de Lys in Holmby Hills, Calif., shares the $125 million price point with an extraordinary tri-level penthouse at The Pierre in New York. Eight of the top 10 are priced at or above $90 million, while the lowest price, $75 million, is well above the last two years. Price reductions placed two former top properties below this threshold this year. Another, Beverly House, had a $15 million increase, which listing agent Jeff Hyland, co-founder of Hilton & Hyland in Beverly Hills, says is a response to new market realities. There is much less product than even six months ago, he says of the number of homes for sale. Along with an influx of foreign buyers, a surge in year-end transactions has left agents and brokers scrambling to find homes to sell, and owners who had taken their homes off the market during the recession are re-listing them at higher prices. Still, every property among Ultimates top 10 presents an opportunity, perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime chance, to acquire a legacy property. Although trophy might be the moniker often applied to ultra homes, the one word that best describes this years top group is legacy. Many, such as the Crespi-Hicks Estate in Dallas, only come along once in a generation, according to Douglas Newby, owner of Architecturally Significant Homes in Dallas, who is listing the property for $135 million. Built in the late 1930s for an Italian count, Pio Crespi, it is a wonderful example of architecture and estates of that era. Maurice Fatio, known at the time for gorgeous mansions in New York and Palm Beach, created the original residence. When the current owners purchased the property 16 years ago, they honored the original architecture, hiring architect Peter Marino to update the home. Located in an elite enclave within Preston Hollow, the most desired neighborhood in Dallas, the home is sited
Tranquility Zephyr Cove, Nev.

From bedrooms and baths to trout in stocked ponds, the story of Ultimate Homes is often about numbers. Even though the passions of owners are more crucial, dollar signs grab the most attention, especially when $100 million begins to define the pinnacle of residential real estate. This year, the numbers are clearly under the microscope. Prices are the barometer charting every bracket in every location, and nothing else illustrates just how much the ultra world has changed in a few short years. In 2010, the sale of Le Belvdre, which originally debuted on the Ultimate list at $85 million, merited the highest price for the year, $50 million. A number of former and current Ultimate top properties also sold, including Dunellen Hall, the former Helmsley Estate in Greenwich, for $35 million and Portabello in Corona Del Mar, Calif., perhaps the most fanciful Ultimate property. Buoyed by the recovery in wealth, the ultra high end took off in 2011, establishing new benchmarks for price. The sale of a Los Altos, Calif., property to Russian billionaire Yuri Milner for $100 million finally broke the $95 million record set by Donald Trumps Palm Beach property in 2006. Soon after, the Spelling Manor, which at $150 million had reigned as most expensive in the U.S., sold for $85 million to the Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone. Further setting the stage for 2012 was the fall sale of a penthouse at 15 Central Park South in Manhattan for $88 million, the full asking price, just three weeks after it went on the market, making it the highest transaction ever in New York. The buyer was the 22year-old daughter of the purchaser of Trumps Palm Beach property, the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev. The ante was raised again in 2012 when a Woodside, Calif., property changed hands for $117.5 million making it the most expensive residential sale on record in the U.S. The buyer was reportedly Japans second wealthiest man. These transactions also illustrate what is probably the strongest trend in the ultra arena, the

on 25 acres, only eight minutes from city center. Newby says it is the largest estate property in a major city anywhere in the U.S. Many consider it the most important property in Dallas, and it numbers among the most significant estates in the country. Fleur de Lys in Holmby Hills, Calif., was recognized by Jacques Chirac and the French government for its contribution to French culture in America. Being honored as the finest example of French architecture in the U.S. creates an instant legacy. Among Ultimates best of the best, few can match the legacy of The Beverly House, which has a pedigree that includes names such as Hearst and Kennedy as well as notables such as L.A. architect Gordon Kaufman and landscape architect Paul Thiene. The original house was built in the 1920s, and a renovation by the current owner 15 years ago doubled the square footage. Its an iconic house. There is nothing like it, and of all the new estates that are built in Beverly Hills today, the big ones, you cant compare to this house in terms of how it was designed, the quality, the space, the livability, the feeling. You just cant build 50,000 square feet and say this is nirvana, observes Hyland, underscoring the essence that makes legacy homes so valuable. Another notable pedigree belongs to Casa Casuarina in Miami, priced at $100 million. Although the mansion dates back to the 1930s, the legacy of the property springs from the artistry of Gianni Versace. The building itself is interesting and historic and has integrity, but Versace turned it into a sexy, enchanting place. There is nothing quite like it, says Jill Hertzberg, who is listing the property with her partner, Jill Eber. The two comprise The Jills, Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estates top-ranking team worldwide. You walk in and you feel like you are stepping back in time. Youre in your own private world, shares Eber. The mansion is as much a luxurious villa as it is work of art with gorgeous frescoes, intricate finishes, tiles and fabrics. Especially remarkable is the 54-foot-long mosaic pool lined in 24-karat gold and surrounded by a stunning tiled private open-air courtyard, fountains, mosaic walkways and sculptures. Equally priceless is the location in the middle of South Beach, directly across from the ocean. Others in Ultimates top 10 boast ownership by multiple generations of the same family. Offered for sale for the first time in 150 years, the estate and lands of de Guign in Hillsborough, Calif., priced at $100 million, has been home to four generations of the de Guign family. The almost 100-year-old, 16,000-square-foot main residence was designed by renowned San Francisco turn-of-the-century architects Bliss & Faville, and is one of Californias few remaining period mansions surrounded by a substantial amount of land. The 47-acre estate is one of the largest undeveloped parcels of land in the peninsula and is only 20 minutes from the center of San Francisco. Decorated by celebrated interior designer Anthony Hall, the interiors of the mansion evoke the sophis-

tication and grandeur of a bygone era. The architecture might be grand and bold, but like almost all the Ultimate properties, the home is extremely livable. Clearly the house was built for another era, but still resonates today, says Gregg Lynn with Sothebys International Realty, who is listing the property with Bernadette Lamothe. Private paradise is another phrase often used to describe ultra properties, and few others in the U.S. offer as much of a refuge, financially and personally, as a number of our top 10 do. Four Peaks Ranch is a $75 million Rocky Mountain paradise situated on 870 acres, a spectacular setting only 15 minutes from downtown Aspen. Huge expanses of glass capture stunning views of the Roaring Fork Valley and the current owners went to every expense to create the ultimate family getaway. It was
nothing establishes value more than land and location. Newby points out that it is land, rather than houses, that really appreciates, which makes Crespi-Hicks especially valuable. In cities such as Manhattan, prized geography can be found on top floors of the most desirable white glove buildings. Three on this years list are the plums of New York real estate gorgeous penthouses in premiere buildings. The crme de la crme easily is the 16-room penthouse that occupies three full floors at The Pierre Hotel, offered by Sothebys International Real Estate for $125 million. Four terraces capture 360-degree views. The second-floor living room, the hotels original ballroom, is considered the most magnificent privately owned room in the world, according to Sothebys. In addition to five master suites, the residence includes separate accommodates for guests as well as staff. A second iconic Manhattan co-op is also among the top 10 at $95 million. This 15-room penthouse occupies the 18th floor of The Sherry-Netherland Hotel. The views here extend in all directions and are incomparable. There are few comparables to our last Manhattan star a dramatic $115 million two-level penthouse at
Ranch Legacies
Last year, Montanas Broken O Ranch, one of the most expensive ranch properties ever to hit the market, sold. This year, another legendary ranch is on the market for the first time in over 30 years. One of the largest remaining ranches along Santa Barbaras spectacular Gaviota Coast, Dos Pueblos Ranchs 2,190 acres stretch from the Santa Ynez Mountains down to a sandy beach on the Pacific Ocean. With agriculture, specimen plantings and orchards, the land might be extensive, but Kerry Mormann, who is listing the ranch, says: Its not a development property. Its a lifestyle property, and, even at $79 million, its a bit of a fixer-upper. I can say that in a good way because the bones are incredible. And it sits on one of the nicest beaches on the Santa Barbara coast. There are over 13 homes, including Casa Grande, a stately five-bedroom, seven-bath mansion. At one time, owners used to have grand dinners here and all the food came from the ranch, shares Mormann. Nothing speaks to the provenance of this property more than the roster of celebrities, even presidents, who has visited, even dined, here.

even featured on MTV's Teen Cribs. Few on our list over the years have been as captivating or have offered as many ways to play. Amenities include a labyrinth, miles of trails, an outdoor putting green and three ponds with waterfalls and a sandy beach. Indulgent features include a spa and a unique indoor-outdoor pool topped with a lighted starscape. A stage with a set up for performing is a venue that is only excelled by the art deco nightclub at Beverly House. Tranquility is the largest privately owned piece of land in Lake Tahoe, and includes its own lake, art studio, boat house, guesthouse and two over-the-water golf holes. Another major asset, according to Jean Merkelback with Sothebys International Realty, who is listing the property for $75 million, is that it is zoned for equestrian use. There are only four other residential properties on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe that have such capabilities, and this is the only horse property with direct access to the Tahoe Rim Trail, she explains. Inside, each room offers its own magical setting, but the real amenity is the sense of peace one immediately feels when they enter the property. To her point, although architecture, size, finishes and amenities add to the worth of ultimate properties, 72 UniqueHomes.com One Beacon Court. Noted architect Charles Gwathmey transformed the 9,000-square-foot space into one of the most sophisticated apartments in New York City. A magnificent double-height living room with a 24-foot ceiling and two walls of windows captures views that seem to never end. The combination of dramatic light, glorious views and the perfection of the design make this home exceptional. Most of these homes are almost impossible to replace, which makes arriving at an optimum list price a challenge. Until a property is truly marketed in a global and targeted manner toward the most affluent potential buyers, one cannot truly know its real-world value, explains Bob Hurwitz, founder of the Hurwitz James Company, who is no stranger properties at the top of the market. And while it would seem that Ultimate properties are about investment and prices, what it all goes back to is passion. It took a great deal of passion on the part of owners, architects and designers to create these properties, and it will take an equal amount of passion for them to sell. In the end, each one is waiting for that one buyer who will fall in love with the property and share in the legacy.

How Wealthy is Wealthy?

By Laurie Moore-Moore, Founder Institute for Luxury Home Marketing
F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. This raises the question of just how much money is required to be very rich? How does a Millionaire differ from a High Net Worth Individual? And, whats a Centa-Millionaire, anyway? If you nd yourself a bit bogged down in terminology about the wealthy, here are a few accepted denitions of afuence which may help you sort out the various levels of wealth. While there may be some variance in denition for some of these terms, the denitions shown below are those used by organizations doing signicant research on the afuent. When specic numbers of individuals in a specic wealth category are given, I have also credited the source.
DICTIONARY OF WEALTH:
Investable Assets Money invested or available for investment, typically measured by asset values, but not including a primary residence, consumables (such as wine), or investments of passion (such as art or jewelry). Net Worth All assets minus all liabilities equals net worth. Millionaires Individuals with at least $1 million in net worth. HNWI High Net Worth Individual or someone with at least $1 million in investable assets. There are about 11 million households* worldwide that fall into this category.
*Source: Capgemini/RBC, World Wealth Report, 2012
Centa-Millionaire Those individuals with $100 million or more in assets. Currently the number of households in this category is estimated at 63,000* in the world. This is up 29 percent since 2006 and is expected to continue to grow.
*Source: Ledbury Research
Billionaire Those with $1 billion in net worth (assets minus liabilities). Based on the 2013 Forbes report, there are currently 1,246 billionaires in the world. Old Money Wealth passed from one generation to the next. The person inheriting is referred to as old money. New Money Wealth being accumulated by the current generation. The person making the money in this case is referred to as new money. Very Successful What research tells us the afuent prefer to be called rather than wealthy or rich!

Mid-tier Millionaires or The Very Rich This group has from $5 million to just under $30 million in investable assets. VHNWI Very High Net Worth Individual or someone with at least $25 million* in investable assets.

When it comes to real estate denitions related to wealth, here are two:
Prime Property A locations most desirable properties, usually the most expensive. These residences represent 1 to 2 percent of the worlds top properties. Super Prime or Trophy Property These are residences priced at $20 million plus, usually with international appeal.
UHNWI Ultra High Net Worth Individuals have at least $30 million in investable assets. There are only about 100,000 of these households in the world*. Sometimes referred to as the Uber Rich.
*Source: Capgemini/RBC, World Wealth Report, 2012
Where does the worlds wealth come from? The primary source of wealth worldwide is business ownership. The secondary source is employment income. In North America, these two sources are reversed in importance. Only in the Middle East is inheritance the primary source of wealth. In Europe, income leads and inheritance is the secondary source. All in all, there is signicantly more new money in the U.S. and in the world than there is old money.
Since, these comments began with Fitzgeralds quote about the very rich being different from you and me, we should probably close with the famous counter quote. Earnest Hemingway was purported to have responded to Fitzgeralds penned remark with this comment about the very rich: Yes. They have more money. In terms of todays denition, that would be from $5 to just under $30 million in investable assets.

SO-CALS ULTIMATE HIDEAWAY
Oceanfront Casita at night

PHOTO ARTHUR COLEMAN
JUST OUTSIDE THE CITY OF ANGELS, Terranea Resort is prominently positioned on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, overlooking one of the regions most breathtaking coastlines. Its secluded, otherworldly feel contradicts what others might expect, being so close to the limelight. Upon arriving, it became evident to me why many locals are attracted here, in search of the ultimate hideaway. I unloaded my belongings in an Oceanfront Casita that welcomed me with some of the most expansive views on the resort. Each casita offers a total of three bedrooms (one master suite and two guest suites) with private entries and outdoor terraces. For more versatility, the Ocean Golf Villas offer two-, three- and four-bedroom layouts with distinct features such as garages and private courtyards. Both options come fully furnished with high-end appointments Viking appliances, travertine flooring, beamed ceilings and arch detailing, to name a few. I was close to most of the action, so I opted to walk around rather than take a shuttle. The resorts overall atmosphere conjures up the illusion of being in another country. Residents and guests find peace with the slower paced lifestyle, soothing surroundings and easy walking distance mostly via a scenic hiking trail
along the bluffs edge to a collection of fine eateries, shops and pools, plus a spa, gym and outdoor adventure concierge. When youre here, you feel like youre in a completely different place, physically and mentally, explains Terry Niemann, real estate director of marketing at Terranea. But really, it only took a few minutes for most of our guests who are within driving distance, so they dont need to get on a plane to feel like theyre in a completely different land. Extended vacationers or weekend commuters, privileged owners enjoy complimentary benefits during the first five years of ownership, in addition to incomparable concierge service. The free reign program and some of the other opportunities that we have give our owners/buyers some flexibility in what is important to them, says Niemann. Whether its helping you plan a wine tasting party with friends or restocking your pantry with all of your favorite foods, We can actually tailor amenities, programs and things that are most meaningful. The 2,040-square-foot Oceanfront Casitas and 1,800-square-foot to 2,800-square-foot Ocean Golf Villas are priced between $1.3 million and $2.7 million. Gina Kramer

LIKE NOTHING YOUVE SEEN BEFORE
In a desert in Dubai, on a mountainside in the Swiss Alps, beachside on a private island, or anyplace you could think, the world is at your fingertips with Mo Ventus, an ultimate cutting-edge, zeroenergy home. Wind and sun combine in this innovative home design to produce energy not bound by geography, climate or access to a power grid. The unique curved shape of the home is designed toward prevailing winds (Ventus) for energy production and storage via hydrogen fuel cells. A photovoltaic array and four embedded bi-directional wind turbines provide power to meet all operational needs without connection to a power grid. And if that wasnt enough, the residence includes moving components (Mo) for a real-time transformation of the living area and home office/studio. Large composite retractable screens and insulated shells that allow different light changes, openness and privacy. It is sort of like rearranging your furniture or changing homes; with a flick of a switch the house is transformed automatically, says designer and architect Todd Theodore Fix. The conversion leaves possibilities for a dark cave-like atmosphere to an open, indoor/outdoor experience and anywhere between. Mo Ventus extends its full immersion in nature and connectedness to the environment with an extension home office/studio that is separated via an open-air cantilever bridge. Additional features include an outdoor theater, pool, vegetative rooftop garden, and a unique tube slide inspired by artist Carsten Hller. The design can be customized. Whatever their desire, it can be flexible to accommodate, from a climbing wall and basketball court to a wine cellar or guesthouse, says Fix. The shape and design of it are not anything you have seen before. Project costs are estimated at $3.5 million to $10 million.
MANHATTAN CO-OP SALE SETS RECORD

One of the largest apartments in Manhattan with 12,000 square feet and an additional 5,000 square feet of exterior space with wraparound terraces sold for $54 million to media mogul David Geffen, according to The Wall Street Journal. The home, which was once owned by socialite Denise Rich on Manhattans Upper East Side, features seven bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and views that stretch from Grand Army Plaza to Columbus Circle and all of Central Park. Other details include striated marble floors, 11-foot ceilings and custom mahogany doors. Atop the white-glove Emery Roth cooperative, this home also showcases an upper level with a grand salon, a private rooftop terrace, a dining room that can accommodate 22 people, and a lower level with a media room, professional recording studio, billiards room, two kitchens and a complete gym. The penthouse, which was originally listed for $65 million by Bonnie Pfeifer Evans, Noble Black and Chazz Levi of Corcoran Group Real Estate, marks the highest price ever paid for a co-op in Manhattan, according to The Wall Street Journal.
A Mo Ventus floor plan features a linear configuration and can range from 5,000 to 12,000 square feet, depending on the building site and owners desires.

MIRROR, MIRROR
Full Circle
With roots tracing to the forest of Maui, Hawaii, the Haiku mirror is constructed of bamboo, considered in traditional Chinese culture as a representation of uprightness (strength) and tenacity (softness). The copper ring of bamboo in this mirror brings simplicity and elegance to a home and would be the perfect complement above a sideboard. $9,150.
Balancing strength and softness, Brabbus mirror collection is more than a reflective accessory. The mirrors Haiku, Iris and Kaamos attract with their fierce designs, and recount stories and emotions about nature and culture.
IRIS
HAIKU
Kaamos is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the north of Finland, where the sun doesnt reach over the horizon and theres total darkness for some time. The zealous wood and gold leaf design of the Kaamos mirror incorporate the two perspectives of total darkness and late sunrise; a striking addition to any room. $5,940.
KAAMOS
The Iris mirror holds true to its name, which represents the Greek goddess of the rainbow, messenger of gods, and the soft colored part of an eye (which the unique shape and color of the mirror represent). The ebony veneer, details of gold leaf and the gloss beige lacquer of the Iris reflect the wings of the goddess Iris and stir a true contemplation of nature. Offering a connection between heaven and earth, Iris would be a great finishing touch for a master suite. $3,810.
Iris and Kaamos were highlighted at Maison&Objet, a major French trade fair for interior design.

A LETTER FROM BETTY GRAHAM
If there is one word that comes to mind when I think of luxury in the year 2013, its renaissance. Coming
off the heels of 2012 and an already stellar rst quarter, its hard not to feel renewed and inspired for Spring. We have seen enthusiasm rise so substantially for luxury residences that we are in a sellers market in many areas. Meanwhile, single-family residential sales have reportedly exceeded $100 million not once, but twice in 18 months leaving me with little doubt about the possibility of seeing records set beyond those gures in the near future. That is why for our Spring 2013 issue of Homes & Estates, we wanted to offer something special in celebration of the new energy invigorating the afuent housing market.
Gracing the beautiful pages of our book, the editorial in this issue is intended to draw you even deeper into the Previews world with more inspiring images and stories than ever before. Jewelry. Glamorous dcor. Global architecture. Personality proles. And exclusive stories on some of the nest real estate on the market. It all brings the Previews lifestyle into view, to be looked upon with fresh eyes. We are especially proud to bring you an exclusive interview with Richard Landry, one of the most respected and prolic luxury architects of our time. If our exploration of Harry Winston and his dazzling history as the King of Diamonds doesnt give you dreams of your next jewelry purchase, then it will at least enlighten you about an American icon. Meanwhile, reigning queen of style, Kelly Wearstler, talks shop with 1stdibs, giving us a glimpse into her fabulous mod-glam world. Also, please do not miss our personal proles on Jade Mills, the Beverly Hills luxury real estate specialist who logged $338 million in sales last year, and Roger Pettingell, who in his career, has sold more than $1 billion worth of luxury properties in Sarasota and Manatee.
From our wonderful lifestyle stories to our grand estates for sale, we proudly welcome you into our world and into a new era for luxury real estate.

A LETTER FROM BUDGE HUSKEY
I t is perhaps not by chance that we are bringing you our largest issue yet of Homes & Estates, after the luxury real estate market posted one of its most signicant years on record. Over 200 pages of stories and homes coming to life in full color not only
represent over 15% growth from last year but our growth in the expanding luxury real estate realm. We can proudly say that 218 Coldwell Banker agents and teams were listed among The Thousand in 2012 by The Wall Street Journal/REAL Trends, a demonstration of our enduring leadership. All of this underscores the importance of having a deep understanding of the nuances of luxury real estate nuances that are explored in great detail in our widely popular Luxury Market Report, timed in parallel with the release of the magazine. On pages 10 and 11, we provide you with our list of Top U.S. ZIP Codes for Luxury Properties. If you have ever wondered where the most afuent individuals are buying and selling in the U.S., this is the place to start. Beverly Hills, Aspen, Miami you will not be disappointed. Available for download online, the third installment of the Luxury Market Report presents a broad picture of trends from all levels of afuent housing. If I may say so, our Luxtimate story explores the art of determining value for the worlds most unique luxury properties, where traditional notions of comparability do not apply. Meanwhile, our Best Places for Luxury Investment story reveals six great value neighborhoods in the $1 million to $3 million-plus range because after all, even the most afuent buyers still want a good deal! This issue of Homes & Estates takes you deep inside the luxury lifestyle, beyond the high-gloss stories of beautiful mansions, to diamonds, fast cars and iconic personalities. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did preparing it for you.

Coldwell Banker Previews International Luxury Report on the Top U.S. ZIP Codes for Luxury Home Listings and Sales
ou might expect to see 90210 (Beverly Hills) on a list of top ten luxury ZIP codes for sales over $10 millionbut what about 81611 (Aspen) or 33139 (Miami Beach)? And would you be surprised to learn that all top ten ZIP codes in the $1 million and up range are in California? These are just some of the ndings in the third installment of the Coldwell Banker Previews International Luxury Market Report, released this month. Twice a year, the Luxury Market Report covers the latest trends and global market insights, along with statistical data for the top 10 U.S ZIP codes* with the highest number of luxury home listings and sales in three price categories: $1 million and up, $5 million and up and $10 million and up. Of course, there are certain ZIP codes that always nd their way onto the list: Beverly
Hills, Aspen, Montecito, Los Angeles and Miami Beach all ranked in the top ve for sales over $10 million. And for the second year in a row, Malibu was the top U.S. city for the most luxury listings over $10 million. Invariably, there are always a few uctuations on the lists from year to year. For 2013, it arrived in the $1 million+ range for listing sales, where ve of the top ten ZIP codes were in Californias Bay Area, as Silicon Valley's technology strength spurred a luxury real estate surge. Where are the most afuent individuals going to be buying and selling this year? Its impossible to predict, but if the chart on the next page is any indication, the Golden State may not be a bad place to start.

PREVIEWS INSIDE OUT
KING OF DIAMONDS
BY A LYSO N P I TA R R E
These gems have life in them: their colors speak, say what words fail of. George Eliot
George Eliot may not have had the pleasure of knowing Harry Winston in her lifetime but the Victorian writer understood how a fine piece of jewelry could have a lasting effect on a woman. Called the King of Diamonds, the genius of gemstones and the jeweler to the stars, Winston, too, recognized the inherent power and romance of a dazzling diamond necklace or a rare sapphire engagement ring, once saying, People will stare. Make it worth their while. A new book, Harry Winston , (Rizzoli, $85) chronicles the jewelers sparkling history, taking readers behind his iconic advertising campaigns, historic images, celebrity photos and the legendary stones with which his
company has worked, including the Lesotho, Vargas and Hope diamonds. Winstons jewelry empire reputedly began in 1908, when at the age of 12, he spied a ring with a green stone priced at 25 cents in a pawnshop window. As a son of a small local jeweler, Winston instinctively knew it was a fine emerald and eventually sold the stone for 800 dollars. His first major jewel acquisition followed later with the famous collection of Arabella Huntingdon. From then on, he became known for transforming old-fashioned pieces into modern styles, endearing him to the society ladies of his time. He founded his namesake brand in New York in 1932, thus beginning a jewelry
empire that has spanned eight decades, from the runways of Paris to the red carpets of Hollywood and presidential inaugural balls. His jewels have graced the necks of royalty and starlets including the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Elizabeth Taylor, Gwyneth Paltrow, Halle Berry, Kate Middleton and, of course, Marilyn Monroe, who famously cooed, Talk to me Harry Winston. Tell me all about it! as she performed Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend in the 1953 film, Gentleman Prefer Blondes. Diamonds convey permanence and power, but also love and romance, Andre Leon Talley wrote in the books forward. They represent clarity, luminosity, brilliance, status and glamour. And as Harry Winston perceived early and always, diamonds, like Prousts madeleines, have the ability to evoke the most profound moments of happiness. In a rare excerpt from the Harry Winston book, Previews Homes & Estates proudly reveals some of those profound moments of happiness in the legendary jewelers history:
If the walls of 718 Fifth Avenue could talk, what stories they would tell! Throughout the decade, the most famous names in the world were seen making their way through the soaring arched entryway of Winstons new salon. His name and jewels spread among international luminaries, even reaching the attention of movie stars, glittering socialites, and the highest heads of state. There was the 241-carat rough diamond that was cut and polished into a 69.42-carat beauty, which later belongs to Elizabeth Taylor. The regal Ice Queen, a awless 128.25-carat stone so blindingly bright that when its next owner, Eugenie Niarchos, wore it out on the town, society scribes quipped that all the city lights went dim by comparison. And there was the spectacular tiara designed for the wedding of Irans Empress Farah Diba, using the famed Nur-ul-Ain diamond (a stunning rare rose-colored diamond that belong to the Imperial collection), which Winston surrounded with a colorful selection of diamonds that ran the
spectrum of shades from deep yellows to soft sky blues Winston delighted in nding his clients the most perfect jewels. Though his diamonds and gemstones were designed to be timeless, he felt jewels looked different on every woman and had to match a womans personal style to be the most appealing. He was always at the ready to personally attend to his clients and help them nd their own unique adornments. He once sent Fifth Avenue (and his security team) into frenzy when he escorted Audrey Hepburn outside of the salon so she could better appreciate the sparkle of an emerald necklace under the afternoon sun. In 1967, Winston purchased another legendary uncut diamond, a 601-carat rough called the Lesotho, whose own remarkable story was defined by two remarkable women. It was discovered in South Africa by a female diamond digger named Ernestine Ramoboa, who traveled by foot for days and nights to bring the stone safely to the capital, where it could be sold. When Winston purchased the stone, he invited Mrs. Ramoboa and her husband to come to New York to watch their great nd be cut, which he arranged to take place on national television. When the cutting was complete, the Lesotho was split into eighteen beautiful diamonds of varying shapes and sizes, with smaller unused fragments of the stone still left over. Winston noticed that Mrs. Ramoboa did not wear any jewelry of her own and asked if she would like him to make her a small ring using a fragment from her now famous nd. Politely, Mrs. Ramoboa declined the offer, explaining to Winston that she just couldnt imagine who would wear such a thing. A few months later, Winston knew 1/18 of that answer when he sold Lesotho III, a 40.42-carat marquise-cut diamond to Aristotle Onassis as the engagement ring for Jacqueline Kennedy.

or a style-setter whose name is synonymous with high glamour and the comeback of Hollywood Regency style someone whom the New Yorker once called the presiding grande dame of West Coast interior design Kelly Wearstlers entre into decorating was decidedly ho-hum. My first project was my own apartment, says the Los Angeles-based designer. A friend saw it and recommended me to another friend who was redoing his home. It just grew organically from there. In Wearstlers case, this seemingly minor chain of events eventually resulted in the creation of a veritable empire of design over which she reigns omniscient and ever dazzling. At its base is House of KWID (Kelly Wearstler Interior Design) the force behind some of Los Angeles most elegant homes as well as a handful of stylish hotels from Santa Monica to South Beach and it has since expanded to include numerous housewares collaborations, books, and most recently, a fashion and accessories line. And to house it all, she has recently opened a chic new boutique on Melrose Avenue. In the midst of this creative whirlwind, Wearstler paused to tell us the qualities she looks for when shopping for a house and what, to her, is the most essential ingredient in creating a home.
Love. Its about the feeling of coming home to a place where my family is.
What do you look for in a house or property? I look to have an emotional connection. A house must have a soul as well as great energy. Each house has its own unique architecture and geography. What is one of the most memorable houses you have designed? Id say my current home, Hillcrest Estate in Los Angeles. I love its richness, its history and the architecture. What historic house do you wish you could live in? Definitely the White House. What do you think is the height of luxury in a house? Big, beautiful windows that bring in natural light are, to me, the ultimate luxury. Whats your favorite room in a house? In mine, its our library, which I also use as my laboratory and studio. What, in your opinion, makes a house a home? Love. Its about the feeling of coming home to a place where my family is. If you could buy four houses anywhere in the world, where would they be and why? Capri, Italy, because my family has always had such an amazing time there; London, because its so culturally diverse and is the epicenter of Europe; the Hollywood Hills, because its my favorite part of Los Angeles; and Malibu, because the beaches are so tranquil. In terms of design, what inspires you? Young artists, as they are constantly evolving and growing. Also, I always try to be aware of my surroundings, as everything can serve as inspiration.

MAN
OF THE
WORLD
BY A LYSO N PI TA R R E
Faithful readers of Architectural Digest and Robb Report over the last 20 years should immediately recognize the name Richard Landry.

nown as the architect to the stars, he has appeared on the AD100 list since 2000 and his residences have been selected by Robb Report as its Ultimate Home for the last four years elevating the worldly architect to an almost other-worldly status in the small, yet rarified circle of luxury residential architecture. His firm, Landry Design Group, has completed more than 400 residences, many of them large-scale manses in elite locations around the world. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Richard Landry does not gravitate towards any particular architectural style. He can just as easily design a French chteau or a cozy Mediterranean as a sleek, cutting-edge modern home. Paul Goldberger who penned the foreword of his 1996 monograph, MODERN TO CLASSIC: Residential Estates by Landry Design Group said it best: Richard Landry belongs to the great tradition of American eclecticism, a tradition that, at its best, has yielded masterpieces, and has also created a vastly larger quantity of decent and civilized buildings than it has been given credit for. With clients throughout the United States and in 15 other countries, Landry is also one of the rare residential architects who truly has his pulse on international luxury design. Affluent homeowners from Indonesia to the United Arab Emirates have commissioned his firm, seeking out the Landry Design Groups flair for mastering materiality to achieve immaterial qualities as architect Joseph Giovannini wrote in 2011s PRIVATE ESTATES: New Architecture by Landry Design Group. This talent his ability to eschew architectural purity in favor of achieving an emotional quality is perhaps what Landry is most revered for. The intangible or the aura of a Landry home, whether it is located in Dubai, Singapore or Beverly Hills, still speaks the language of that country. Monumentality, another Landry trademark, also has the power to transcend culture and continent. Notes Goldberger: Landrys houses, for all their sumptuousness, do have a certain understatement about them. The international clients with whom Landry works are often drawn to the quality and openness of his floorplans, and they also love the American way of living, he admits. They want rooms that feel comfortable, he says. Many of them have large extended families who visit. They want each child to have his or her own bedroom and a bedroom

for the in-laws. Before you know it, youve got a 10-bedroom house. The challenge for us as architects is to keep a human scale to a home of that size. We do that by paying close attention to the proportions in each room and by adding a lot of detail. In effect, Landry has become a master of layering details. A sense of intimacy and comfort can be achieved in a grand living room by layering intricate moldings, patterns, rich materials and fireplaces. On the outside,
layers of lush landscaping and exquisite exterior detailing can make an intimidating 50,000-square-foot estate suddenly feel welcoming. For a 100,000-square-foot home near Shanghai, he has managed to bring down the scale with special massing of the rooflines and the walls, so there is movement from the outside and not just a flat faade. The idea, he explains, is to break large spaces into smaller, more comfortable spaces. That is why, in a Landry home, rooms will
frequently have multiple uses: dining rooms are also libraries, kitchens are also family rooms and bedrooms have sitting areas. As Giovannini recounts, he nests one room in another, one function inside of another. He layers. He also proliferates the spaces that socialize a home, bringing people together with loggias, patios, outdoor fireplaces and focal water features. Yet not all luxury architectural design elements translate from country to country. For example, luxury architecture in China is still heavily influenced by the ancient principles of Feng Shui. The same is true in India with the ancient Vastu Shastra school of thought (which many believe to be the basis for Feng Shui). Both philosophies center around building residences that are harmonious with nature, which, in turn, can impact everything from the site location and
Its not just about the size of the house, says L andr y. How do you want to feel when you come home? How do you want your friends to feel when they walk into your house? T hese are the intangibles of architecture.
orientation to the floor plan and selection of materials. Often when Landry is building a luxury residence in Asian countries, the client will bring in experts in these fields to ensure that the homes environmental factors are considered during the design and construction process. As a skilled interpreter of historical and contemporary traditions, Landry simply folds these concepts into his design as another rich layer. Still, other cultural differences dictate the types of rooms designed in a grand estate. In the Middle East, for example, it is common for luxury homes to have commercial or catering kitchens, in addition to a family kitchen. Formal entertaining spaces and greeting areas are also essential for many wealthy Middle Eastern families, as guests frequently show up unannounced. There is a private side of the home and a public side of the home, says Landry. And often, women are separated from mens activities which impacts the floor plan. Landrys design approach, of course, remains the same no matter where his clients live in the world. We ask a lot of questions, and we often challenge our clients to truly pay attention to the way they actually live in their home, the way they entertain, how they see themselves in five, 10 or 15 years, he told Architectural Digest in 2010. Which is, perhaps why his work has appealed to so many elite and celebrity clients over the past 20 years. His celebrity clients have included Tom Brady and
Gisele Bndchen, Rod Stewart, Mark Wahlberg, Wayne Gretzky and countless others. Privacy (a celebritys most prized asset), then, is another Landry hallmark. They are in the public eye so much that they are very protective of their homes, he says. That is why they so often choose to build their home in areas that allow for privacy, that are either guarded by landscaping or a gated subdivision. Like Landrys brand of American

eclecticism, there is no common design pattern for celebrity homes some seek grandeur, some seek minimalism, some seek traditional styles and some seek contemporary styles. Some celebrities are entertainers, so we would want to know about what sort of events they plan to host at their home in order to understand how people will circulate through the floor plan and where we should place the catering facilities, he explains. Other celebrities want to stay out of the public eye completely, so we might include a home theater, an incredible rec room, a bowling alley or a beautiful gym so they can enjoy these amenities with their family and close friends in the privacy of their home. Celebrity or not, Landry approaches each client more or less the same. He listens and searches for the unspoken and spoken nuances, the intangibles that make people unique. Whether its for his discretion or ability to see modern living in all its glorious complexity, Richard Landry has made an indelible impression on the world. He may operate on a small, yet exclusive stage but his work reminds us that at the end of the day, he is simply bringing joy to peoples lives in the most profound way an architect can a personal home.

GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT
THE
Soul of Italy
Materials were imported from Europe to build this new Greenwich, Conn., estate.
By Kimberly Turner
hen I am in the house I truly dont feel like I am in Greenwich anymore, says the owner of this stunning Greenwich, Conn., property, which transports residents and visitors to an Italian and European escape. Beautiful mahogany doors and windows, ornamental railing, Venetian plaster and gorgeous outdoor spaces (such as the Italian-style loggias) demonstrate only a small amount of the Italian and European detail that the homeowners incorporated in this newly built cul-de-sac residence, listed for $26.08 million by Tamar Lurie of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. Influenced by Italian-American architect Rosario Candela, the homeowners spent a lot of time in the 3-year construction/design
process working on the layout. With Venetian plaster throughout the home, most of the corners of the rooms are rounded, like you would see more in European homes, especially in more of the older villas in Italy, says the owner. Even fabricated marble and limestone were brought in directly from Italy for the large center island in the kitchen, and 500-year-old Chinese doors were imported from the Far East, adding a touch of warmth to the home. There are a lot of old touches, but with all the new conveniences and modern technology it all blends together to make the house a comfortable place to be, says the owner. Nothing feels too formal or like you cant touch something. It is very user friendly. As you approach the home from the front, passing by two ornamental
iron gates and into the circular driveway, you would never know that there was a lake in the backyard until you enter the front doors and see the lake views from the windows. I love the first floor because there is so much exposure to the water, says the owner. The first floor offers views of outdoor spaces with European-style landscaping with pebbled walkways and patio. We wanted to be able to incorporate bringing the outdoors in. The property has a dock leading into the fully stocked lake in the backyard, a perfect place to share family time and sh. Additionally, a heated pool, pool house with two expansive barbecue areas, spa, tennis and bocce-petanque courts allow for a wonderful shared meal between friends, some quality-time fun, or simply relaxing and taking in the views. Lending itself to more entertainment within, this home features a lower level with a 12-seat theater, billiards/game room, 5,000-bottle wine cellar and a sports/basketball court (a favorite of the homeowners). The dining area is flexible and can accommodate up to 40 people, but it also is the place the owners dine every night. What is really wonderful about the house, and good for our family, is the scale and comfort of the rooms, says the owner, emphasizing that no room feels too large. In a centrally located point in Greenwich, convenient to New York City, private aviation facilities, and the nest schools the town has to offer, 42 Mooreland is a nice cultural escape. This home is perfect for somebody who is moved emotionally when they travel through historic parts of Europe and Italy, says one of the homeowners. If that moves your soul, then this house will move your soul.

THE NATURAL
Raised in a small farm town, Jade Mills learned positivity and integrity at an early age. Now, with a record-setting $338 million in sales last year, she is Coldwell Bankers No. 1 agent worldwide.
By Ken Weingartner
ven at an early age, Jade Mills seemed a natural when it came to sales. While growing up in the small town of Alamo, California, she entered a contest to sell newspaper subscriptions. She won the competition, earning a prize of $100, which she donated to charity. It was really my rst sales job, says the ebullient Mills, who today is an Estates Director and International Ambassador with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Beverly Hills. Ive always loved sales. I really love the thrill of the deal and I love having everyone happy at the end of the sale. What began with a $100 prize has turned into a career that has produced more than $1 billion in residential real estate sales in the last decade and numerous accolades as one of the nations top-selling agents. Mills is ranked the No. 1 agent nationally and internationally for NRT and Coldwell Banker and achieved total sales volume of more than $338 million in 2012. I love what I do, says Mills. Its very rewarding to me to see both buyer and seller happy. Mills grew up as the daughter of a dairy farmer in Alamo, located 20 miles east of Oakland, and her parents were signicant in shaping Mills approach to life and business. My mother was extremely positive, says Mills. From the time I can remember, she always told me I could do anything that I wanted to do, and that if you work hard, you can achieve all of your goals. She was so positive with every aspect of life. My father told me he never had a contract in writing for anything. He said your word is your bond. You dont need a contract; you just do what you say youre going to do. I always conduct myself and my business with the utmost integrity and honesty, and I try to instill in new agents the importance of integrity. Mills got her real estate license in 1975 after her husband of three years left her alone with their infant daughter. As a young single mother, Mills had to make a future for herself. She was encouraged by broker Spike Dresser, who was in the process of selling Mills home at the time, to pursue a career in real estate. Mills found immediate enjoyment in the profession and some early success. After marrying her second husband, she stepped away to raise her family, but when he passed away many years later, she again made her way through this difcult time by selling real estate. Mills primary objective, though, was not to become a top agent.
My goal was supporting my children, says Mills. That was all I could focus on. Mills worked hard supporting her family, to the point she has become the No. 1 or No. 2 agent in the nation for the past several years. Her client base has grown through referrals and includes business managers, attorneys, CEOs, members of the Forbes top 400, and celebrities. Even though Mills works with some of the countrys most expensive homes, she sells in all price ranges. Her focus for each transaction is making sure everyone is satisfied. In 2012 her sales ranged from $1 million to $50 million. I work hard for all of my clients, says Mills. I enjoy today what Ive always enjoyed about the business: I love the process, meeting new people, selling, and finding my clients the perfect home. MEET JADE MILLS Jade Mills has four children and two work with her, son Zachary Quittman and daughter Tiffany Barcena. Daughter Alexis LaMontagna also worked in real estate before starting a successful eponymous clothing line. Mills son Austin Mills is a freshman at Pepperdine, where he plays basketball. Austin was the third all-time leading scorer at Beverly Hills High School. Her husband Adam designs and builds homes in the Los Angeles area. I have four fabulous children and five amazing grandchildren, and I am very proud of all of them, says Mills. There is nothing more important in my life than my husband, children and grandchildren. I am truly blessed. Prior to working in real estate, Mills traveled the country with her first husband, who was a singer, and discovered a passion for working with people that carried into her career as a broker. Traveling around the country, I found that people were very friendly and welcoming, says Mills. I found that I really wanted to work with people rather than in an environment where I didnt. Her small-town roots were transplanted easily in Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills is really a very small town. People are very friendly and I really enjoy walking down the street and knowing so many people. Its very comforting to live in a place where you feel safe. Beverly Hills is truly my home. I cant ever see myself living anywhere else.

THE PERFECT BAL ANCE

Roger Pettingell finds happiness in his daily interactions with different people and different properties.
By Ken Weingar tner
oger Pettingell never wanted a feeling of sameness in his career. And despite the fact he has worked 28 years in the same job in the same location he accomplished his goal. Pettingell, a Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate agent on Floridas Longboat Key, considered careers as a veterinarian and physician before finding his calling as a broker. Since then, he has sold more than $1 billion in luxury properties in Sarasota and Manatee counties and earned multiple honors for being the areas top agent as well as No. 1 for Coldwell Bankers Southeast Region. Every single day Im doing something completely different than I might have done the day before, says Pettingell, who lives in Sarasota. Im either interacting with new people or representing a new property or finding a new home for somebody. Thats what works for me. Pettingell appeared on his way to a career in medicine after graduating from Guilford College in North Carolina with degrees in biology and chemistry, but landed a marketing job with real estate developer Arvida before applying to med schools. Pettingell ended up on Longboat Key, where Arvida was building several waterfront communities. The whole thought of medical school faded away as I saw myself as much more of a marketing person, says Pettingell. I dont know if its something thats passed down genetically, but both my parents were marketing people and maybe just being around it seemed natural and comfortable to me. While Pettingell thoroughly enjoyed the marketing job, he saw limitations. He realized, though, that sales were different. It was clear there was going to be a ceiling in marketing, says Pettingell. The sales side was something without a ceiling and always different. Its a bit of a recurring theme for me because the same thing that changed me from being interested in being a veterinarian to a physician, and out of being a physician, was the sense of sameness that you would have for your whole career. I didnt really want to do the same thing every day. Pettingell parlayed his marketing skills into success as an agent, particularly as real estate shifted from selling new developments to reselling existing properties. I wasnt a studied salesperson, but I knew how to interact with people and how to market their property, says Pettingell. As the market transitioned from selling new properties to reselling, you werent relying
on a developers marketing anymore; you had to do it yourself. I think I had an edge there. Ive always looked to expand my marketing and do things that were outside the box. Especially as Internet marketing came along, always looking for new and better ways to do things. A self-professed technology junkie, Pettingell created the first website in his office. He relies on technology for delivering information, but understands the balance in maintaining personal relationships. Whether hosting events for clients, or helping them with other real estate needs, Pettingell has forged numerous friendships. On the one hand, its just plain fun, says Pettingell. You can always turn to the Internet to sell your home, but unless its strictly an investment property, theres a lot of personal attachment that people have, either as buyers or sellers. I think they need that human interaction. MEET ROGER PETTINGELL Pettingell spent his early childhood in Manhattan and moved with his family to Miami around the age of 10. Remember the TV show Flipper? My brother and I used to dream of being like Bud and Sandy with our own pet dolphin in the backyard, says Pettingell, laughing. Moving to Miami was like that for us, except for the pet dolphin part. Although he never had a pet dolphin growing up, life on Longboat Key affords him the chance to see dolphins in his backyard, so to speak. The 10-mile barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico features scenic beaches, golf, tennis and upscale dining, and has been home to the likes of tennis star Maria Sharapova and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry. I love living here its such a beautiful place and being an active part of the community, says Pettingell, who is a board member for numerous organizations, including the West Coast Black Theatre Troupe, Ringling Museum of Art, Southeastern Guide Dogs and the Child Protection Center, in addition to spending time with his wife, Alisa, and two young boys, Jake and Max. I strive to have a balanced life. I think if you open yourself up to knowing thats important and letting your senses decide for you whether youre being able to get all that done, then it works. I dont stay up until midnight working or get up at four in the morning. I find there is always enough time to get everything done. I think all that balance also makes me a better salesperson.

Australian Heights
Si x t y-six stories above the su r f, this apar tment redef ines lu x u r y in paradise.
By Roger Grody
oaring 797 feet into the blue Australian sky is Soul, the secondtallest structure on Queenslands Gold Coast. The sleek highrise which ranks among Australias premier architectural achievements is the centerpiece of the ongoing rejuvenation of Surfers Paradise, one of the most fabled strips of sand in the Southern Hemisphere. Of all the worlds famous beaches, Surfers Paradise offers the most potent mix of glamorous cosmopolitan lifestyle and sublimely indulgent pursuits, says Soul sales consultant Ray Price. Soul stands out among luxury residential developments in Surfers Paradise, and not only because of its towering height and glitzy architecture. The buildings common areas are filled with carefully curated bespoke furnishings and specially commissioned artwork, and its third level features indoor and outdoor pools, a Zen-like garden, gymnasium and full-service spa. The residential unit occupying the entire 66th floor is currently offered at $7.15 million by Coldwell Banker Australias Alex Caraco, who reports, This apartment is essentially one of just a few sub-penthouses in a building featuring six-star amenities. The unit, with more than 4,700 square feet of space and floor-to-ceiling windows providing panoramic ocean views, is the equivalent of five apartments in the lower portion of the building. Only the penthouse unit, purchased during construction for $16.5 million, features a more lavish lifestyle. The in-the-clouds feeling of this luxurious, state-of-the-art apartment is extraordinary, says Caraco, who adds, Located right on the beach in Surfers Paradise, this iconic building showcases Australian beachfront living. The living room, dining room and master suite, as well as another bedroom suite, all open up onto a partially covered patio running the length of the unit and following the graceful curvature of the glass-sheathed building. Seamlessly integrated with the interior, this generous exterior living space enhances the experience of residing on one of the worlds most coveted beaches. The open floor plan not only accommodates a contemporary lifestyle, but maximizes views and allows the Australian sunlight to flood the entire unit.

The master suite is separated from the central living area by a unique faceted mirrored wall that playfully refracts the Gold Coasts 300 days of sunshine. Whether youre relaxing in your lounge or on the broad balcony, youll have amazing ocean and coastal views over the entire region, reports Price. The open galley-style kitchen is a study in clean-lined modernism with custom lacquered cabinetry, German-manufactured Gaggenau appliances and mirrored bronze backsplash. Two long islands run the length of the kitchen, stretching from the living room to the dining room and seating six comfortably. If you dont feel like cooking or going out to dine, you can order from Seaduction Restaurant + Bar [an acclaimed fine dining establishment downstairs] and have it delivered to your own table, says Price, who notes residents are entitled to extensive concierge services. Privacy one of the highest priorities for the high-net-worth individuals that inhabit Soul is assured with this unit. Because it
occupies the entire 66th floor, three elevators provide residents restricted, secure access to the apartment. There is no one disadvantaged in this building of millionaires and billionaires, insists Price. Surfers Paradise is an international destination. And with no restrictions on foreign ownership of this apartment, it makes an ideal vacation home for any luxury client seeking beachfront exclusivity. Buyers are coming from Singapore, China, Korea and Japan, all lifestyle buyers looking for a luxury pad in the sky, reports Caraco.

CANNES, FRANCE
PALAIS ORION
The 19th century meets the 21st century in this one-of-a-kind Cannes masterpiece.
BY RICHARD GOODWIN
annes the mere mention of this international resort destination conjures up images of lavish VIP parties held aboard mega-yachts, glamorous movie stars, and stunning Mediterranean villas owned by scions of international business and members of royal families. It is here that Grace Kelly met His Majesty Prince Rainier III in 1954. And here, today, one of the last jewels of the Riviera has become available. But this is no ordinary luxury villa; it is, in fact, an extraordinary accomplishment that is unique in so many ways. The setting is the famed Basse Californie area of Cannes the Beverly Hills of the Cte dAzur and one of the four most prestigious areas in the South of France, along with Cap dAntibes, Cap Ferrat and St. Tropez. The property, adjacent to the summer residence of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, is actually composed of two parcels. Located on the upper plot of land is the magnificent villa known today as The Palais Orion. The original building, appropriately named Villa Aquarium for its numerous aquariums, some actually fed from the sea, was constructed in the late 1880s by the Meunier family of the Meunier Chocolate company. A second building was added more than a century later in the late 1990s. Now, work is underway to transform and expand the palace into 16,000 square feet of breathtaking living space. Against a
panoramic backdrop of the Mediterranean, there will be magnificent salons for entertaining, a grand master suite, ample accommodations for family and friends, a pool and Jacuzzi, a sauna and steam room, a car elevator leading to a parking area for up to 10 cars, and even a safe room. Certain style elements will be left to the tastes and desires of the new owners, allowing them, with the help of their interior designers, to create the ultimate personal statement. Connecting the upper part of the property to the seaside area below is a 235-foot underground tunnel (16 feet wide and 9 feet high). Running beneath both the roadway and railroad track that once separated the two parcels, this
Palais Orion and their guests are assured a level of privacy and tranquility almost
tunnel was thought to be impossible to construct by many experts, especially because of the administrative difficulties it presented. Yet the owners persisted and prevailed, and now this technical feat the only crossing in France that goes under a TGV track has joined the two properties, affording private and direct access from the villa to the Mediterranean Sea. The private beachfront stretches 2,800 feet half the length of the Croisette! and there is a pool
house being created from a small villa to afford several comfortable and intimate pergolas. Also unique in France, this property is not subject to the constraints of the Coastal law, which usually would require a public path along the sea. But here, on this wild, lush Mediterranean waterfront, the residents of Palais Orion and their guests are assured a level of privacy and tranquility almost impossible to find nowadays on the Cte dAzur.

None Such
Along Long Islands Gold Coast, this Hamptons-style Colonial offers an opportunity like no other.
By Ken Weingartner
ince the beginning of the 20th century, Long Islands North Shore has been referred to as the Gold Coast. Home to elegant estates and famous residents, the area became engrained in the publics consciousness in the mid-1920s thanks to F. Scott Fitzgeralds novel The Great Gatsby. Along this renowned stretch of Long Island is the village of Lloyd Harbor. Originally known in the late 1600s as Horse Neck because local farmers grazed their horses there, the area was a key location during the Revolutionary War and later became a desired Gold Coast destination. Yet although the 9.2-square-mile community is one of the largest incorporated villages in New York, it remains one of the least-densely populated as steps have been taken to preserve its natural beauty and ambiance. Here, where history meets haut monde, is a home fittingly known
as None Such; an estate worthy of the Gold Coasts gold standard. Situated on 3 manicured acres, the 10,000-square-foot custombuilt Hamptons-style Colonial estate, completed in 1994, offers breathtaking views of Long Island Sound and includes a private beach and 115-foot bulkhead. The views are spectacular, says Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage agent Rita Bender, who lists the $5.5 million property. Every room has a water view and there are western sunset views from throughout the home. None Such features five bedrooms, four full baths, three half baths and four fireplaces. The homes first floor includes an entrance foyer, living room with fireplace and adjacent pub room/bar. There is a cherry wood library with fireplace, family room with an exposed-beam vaulted ceiling
and fireplace, formal dining room, gourmet eat-in kitchen and three powder rooms. An expansive master bedroom suite is the highlight of the second floor. The suite features two walk-in closets, a dressing room, a large bathroom with a Jacuzzi, a fireplace and a balcony. There are four additional bedrooms and two full baths. The homes finished walk-out basement has a juice bar, full bath with steam shower, gym, studio and workshop. Outdoors, the estate features extensive decking and multilevel bluestone patios as well as a large heated gunite pool. There is a 540foot Belgium block lined and inset driveway on a cul-de-sac. The estate is located in the Fort Hill section of Lloyd Harbor, not far from the historic Joseph Lloyd Manor House, a property developed in 1766 that later was home to aviator Charles Lindbergh, prior to World War II.

Also nearby is Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve, approximately 1,500 acres of woodland, meadows, rock shoreline, salt marsh and former farm and garden areas that offer miles of bridle paths, walking, jogging, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and nature trails. The park also has gardens, fishing and scuba diving by permit. Lloyd Harbor is a wonderful place and this estate is absolutely beautiful, says Bender. The home has exquisite woodworking and hardwood flooring; the attention to detail is outstanding. Its a great home for entertaining, or for simply enjoying quiet time and relaxing. The name None Such is appropriate; there is none such home like this one.

he spirit of our nations capital overowing with traces of American history and bursting with international avor radiates across all 14,150 square feet of 2507 Foxhall Road. Come winter, once all the leaves have fallen from the trees, you can catch a glimpse of the Washington Monument right from its terrace. On a nice day, you can take a short walk down the road to the Kreeger Museum, perfect for satisfying a craving for both international and American art. Neighbors include the French ambassador, who is temporarily living in the adjacent estate. But this brand new home is more than just another luxury listing on the market. The Foxhall Road residence was chosen for the 2013 DC Design House, the annual residential design attraction in the region, and a fundraising event for the Childrens National Medical Center. It is offered for $14.9 million by Marty Apel of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. According to P.L. Skip Singleton, co-founder of DC Design Home, the event brings together the entire community because it gives everyone designers and residents alike a chance to support the Childrens National Medical Center. My wife Debbie and I attended an event for the medical center and
were taken with their mission, Singleton says. We wanted to find a way to give to them, so we organized the first design house thinking it would be a one-time event. Six years later, the event has grown to become a leading fundraiser for the Childrens National Medical Center, and has attracted viewers such as Lynne Cheney, the former vice presidents wife. The five-level mansion, equipped with two kitchens, eight full and four half baths, eight bedrooms and an open floor plan, made it a perfect fit for this years DC Design Home. Its spacious design and multitude of rooms can easily accommodate the 20-plus designers expected to decorate the various spaces, along with the thousands of viewers who pay to see the latest design trends on display. For Singleton, the Foxhall Road estate met all the criteria for a design home. This house kind of spoke to us; the way it flowed and the space it has, Singleton says. Because its brand new construction, the house is like a fresh palate where designers can come in with their colors and papers and work on a blank slate. Susan Hayes-Long, the event chair of DC Design Home, believes this home is t for international avor.

room, media room, and tons of storage. The home has family-friendly features, but like the other properties in the area, it can also be used for more diplomatic entertaining, Hayes-Long says. Once completed, the modern-European estate will feature spring-themed designs. The grand foyer is expected to make an impressive opening statement, and HayesLong predicts the use of natural tones and textures throughout the house. The design of the house really helps it feel like the outdoors are coming in. This home has beautiful exposure and glass; youll feel nature come through, Hayes-Long says. The team of designers will gain access to their designated spaces within the Foxhall estate in March, and use the duration of the month to bring their designs to life. Tours of the estate begin in April and conclude in May. All of the design elements featured in the Design Home will be auctioned off to the public, with a percentage of the profits going to the Childrens National Medical Center.

The circular driveway that leads to the white-columned house front is just the beginning of the rich elegance and Old World Southern charm present inside and out of this Dallas property. The combination of luxury and comfort create a living space perfect for hosting elegant
dinner parties and lavish gatherings, yet offers undeniable warmth to make the massive house feel like home. The balance between warmth and elegance was an important design initiative for the owner of the Old Preston Hollow Estate. I wanted it to feel like home, not just a show place, she says. Nice enough to entertain a lot of people, but still feel like home. The owner has lived in the estate for over 20 years while raising three sons.

surrounding trees provide complete privacy and an earthy feel that only nature can inspire. Dark wood floors add warmth, while Japanese design elements and custom designed stained glass features in the butlers pantry add unique detail to the five-bedroom, seven-and-threehalf-bath house. The gourmet kitchen happens to be the owners favorite part of the estate. Built to entertain, the space is attached to the butlers pantry on one side, two living areas on the other, and is equipped with dual dishwasher, ovens and sinks, as well as multiple Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer units. While sunlight floods through the nine skylights of the sloped ceilings, filling the space with natural light, the owner enjoys filling the space with the aroma of her famous beef bourguignon cooked in a wine sauce. Seven sets of French doors in the library, kitchen, den and game room lead to an L-shaped covered patio, perfect for year-round entertaining. The owner recalls numerous receptions for friends and alma maters hosted at the estate, as well as images of children running around at office parties, complete with clowns hired to entertain. The dynamic features of the estate provide countless options, with people gathering by the outdoor kitchen and 20-meter pool, or retreating to the indoor exercise pool, media room, or game room. Grant Vancleve of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage is representing the Old Preston Hollow Estate, listed for $2.75 million. According to Vancleve, everybody falls in love with the 1,600-squarefoot master bedroom, complete with its own exercise room, wet bar, fireplace and walk-in closets one enormous and one cedar. Secondfloor views of the forest provide a relaxing backdrop, making this master suite feel like the ultimate treetop escape.

WINNETKA, ILLINOIS
Le Grand Rve
Setting a new standard of lu x u r y living outside of Chicago.
By Roger Grody
PHO TO GR A PH Y BY ER H A R D PF EI F F ER
he exclusive Chicago suburb of Winnetka is home to one of Americas most extraordinary estates, steps from Indian Hill Club and two miles from Lake Michigan. This is the most prestigious neighborhood north of the city and the closest to downtown Chicago, says Brad Jarol, explaining why his parents, Sherwin and Deborah Jarol, were immediately attracted to the 2-acre site. It took them four years to erect a 26,500-square-foot home inspired by a Loire Valley chteau. Named Le Grand Rve (the big dream), the home is truly unique
among non-lakefront properties in the area. Veteran Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage colleagues Julie Deutsch and Maureen Mohling are currently listing the property for $21.9 million. Theres really nothing to compare it to, admits Deutsch, who adds, Its got all the bells and whistles anybody could ever want. Mohling concurs, stating, Its truly one of the North Shores most spectacular estates, reflecting a collaboration of top designers and artisans. The Jarols retained Los Angeles architect Richard Landry, known
Its truly one of the North Shores most spectacular estates, reflecting a collaboration of top designers and artisans.
for his lavish residential designs, to turn their dreams into reality. When we design a home inspired by a French chteau, we take that architectural precedent and give it our own fresh twist, acknowledging modern technology and how people live today, explains Landry, noting the open floor plan that suits contemporary American families. One enters the gated property through a bluestone drive that arrives at a fountain-laden motor court. The homes classic French faade is clad in creamy peach limestone, and the roof is the same Vermont slate that keeps the White House dry. Passing through a formidable pair of iron-and-glass doors, one stands in a two-story foyer before proceeding into a grand 35-foot rotunda, the centerpiece of Landrys design. Its crowned with a Tiffany stained-glass dome that took nine months to create, and beneath it hangs a 900-pound crystal chandelier. We couldnt find an antique chandelier large enough to fill the space, so we had one custom-made, explains Brad Jarol. The rotunda, embroidered with the intricate plaster molding that has become a Landry signature, is flanked by a pair of sweeping staircases railed in handcrafted black iron with gilded accents. Landry explains that details, like his unique plaster molding or varied patterns of handscraped walnut underfoot, bring a sense of warmth to large spaces that could otherwise feel overwhelming. Eighteen artisans worked exclusively on plasterwork, a painstaking two-year process. Art and technology are seamlessly married, reports Jarol, who notes his family enjoys the same sound system as P. Diddy. The richly decorated living room, an elegant yet warm space, features a hand-carved limestone replace, one of 11 in the home. Also on the main oor are a family room with onyx-topped bar, rich walnut-clad library, formal dining room seating 22, and an expansive kitchen even a well-concealed panic room. Encompassing generous dining and sitting areas with crystal chandeliers and a replace, the country French kitchen features custom cabinetry and an antique hand-carved stone sink. Three at-screen TVs are hidden, while an artisanal La Cornue stove doubles as a work of art. Behind the scenes are a catering kitchen and butlers pantry. A glass-ensconced sunroom overlooks the pool, and a loggia runs the length of the house. One bedroom suite is located on the main floor, but the other four are found upstairs. The elliptically shaped master suite includes a terrace, elegant his and hers dressing rooms and an extravagant master bath with mahogany accents, fireplace and Nero Portoro marble countertops. Located in the lower level are a 1,500 square feet game room, fitness center, luxurious spa, craft room, and state-of-the-art media room seating 15 comfortably. A pool house with full kitchen and bath is also located on this level, as well as a 3,000-bottle wine cellar. With Landrys attention to detail, the house takes on a very human scale, despite its grand proportions, and is surprisingly family-friendly. Its simply impossible to re-create this property, insists Brad Jarol, who adds, Somebody has an opportunity to acquire perfection.

Genuine
Ever y element of this S cottsd a le, A riz., home wa s ca ref u lly studied to authentica lly ref lect the French Manor st yle.
By Gina Kramer
raveling through France brought back more than just memories for homeowner Shane Powell, when he decided he wanted to create an authentic, French Manor-style home unlike any other in Scottsdale, Ariz. The goal was not to simply imitate the style, as many homes do, but to recreate it by studying the aesthetics and piecing together as many genuine components as possible. The result was a success. A plethora of materials, from the 100-yearold roof and imported limestone, to the nishes inside, came from France. Even the location creates the sensation of being worlds away. Completely secluded, in Scottsdales premier Arcadia district, the
property adds charm with a reection pond, swimming pool, potting room, gazebo and beautifully manicured gardens reminiscent of Versailles all within close proximity to downtown restaurants and shopping, The Phoenician resort, world-class golng and Phoenixs city limits. The level and depth of the studies that we did allowed us to create something that you would have seen in the French countryside, says Powell. During the initial planning process, Powell sat with architect Mark Candelaria, studying pictures he had taken and books he had read, to render exactly what he was trying to accomplish. The process
of obtaining materials was a journey all in itself. The outside, as well as the inside, is all lathed and handplastered, says Powell, still in awe over how much work was involved. Normally, you see homes that have sheetrock, and they do all of the finishes here. But every bit of this has been hand-done, so you have an imperfection that feels as though the house was built a hundred years ago. Every detail, down to the edges and corners, was melded together with a personal touch. In the kitchen, 100-year-old, reclaimed tiles were hand-set right into the plaster, while the remainder of the interior showcases beams imported from an old tobacco factory in South Carolina and antique, French oak and limestone f loors throughout. It just has a really warm, hand-chosen feel to it, like nothing you really see here in Arizona, adds Powell. Real estate broker Ellie Shapiro, with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Phoenix, Ariz., is representing the $7.78 million home. She describes that, in addition to the authenticity of the home, a lot of planning was also put into the layout. Each room is proportionate and symmetrical with one another not oversized creating a balanced flow throughout, while a lack of window coverings allows natural sunlight to flood the entire home. Shapiro admits she still shares a similar feeling with potential homebuyers who visit the home. It has enough charm and warmth that when you walk in, you want to sit down and stay.

Star Gazing
The stars are not strangers to this Oahu paradise.
By Lauren Varga King
ay-Z and Beyonc have found peace in this place; a reality TV show was filmed within its walls; and Jessica Simpson and her family recently spent three weeks here. But, here isnt Los Angeles, or even New York. Here is 210 N. Kalaheo Avenue, Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii. Encompassing 65,000-plus square feetthe span of two football fieldsof tropical grounds, this breathtaking estate is listed for $24.95 million along the shores of Oahus Windward Coast. A property of this magnitude is a rarity, a gem on Oahu. The estate has a strong following for rental use, says listing agent Tracy Allen of Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties. When Jessica Simpson and her family stayed they only left the property for one day. Thats a compliment to its design and the privacy it offers. Homeowner Steve Connell thinks back to when he first purchased the property in 2005. He had the existing four homes torn down (leaving the lot barren), the land subdivided, and the current estate was built by Gregory Design Build and designed by architect Jim Matichuk. Each day, for about five minutes, a light shower comes through and refreshes
the property. This act of nature, he explains, is why today the property is lush with palms, shrubbery and a breathtaking natural surround. And the verdant landscaping isnt left outdoors. As the propertys 11,000 interior square feet open by way of large, glass pocket doors to 7,000 square feet of lanai space, the land and living spaces become one. The idea is that when you open those doors, it expands the size of the house, leaving no distinction between inside and out, says Connell. When the home is not host to celebrities and reality TV stars, it plays a star role in Connells weekend entertaining. I coach track so weve had some 70 people over at a time, says Connell. Maybe a group is on the yard playing football, or watching a movie in the theater room, but mainly theyre in the courtyard. Thats where people really bond. The courtyard is devoted to the homes free-form pool and spa, accented with moss rock walls, lava rock, rushing waterfalls and tropical birds chirping amongst the sounds of family and friends. The courtyard is served by a cabana, equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and accents, and sits adjacent to the
homes media, living and great rooms for optimal entertaining. The cabana is elevated so not only are you enjoying a full second kitchen, you can look through the house and get a clear view of the crystal turquoise waters of Kailua Bay, says Allen. While the main residence is equipped with a custom kitchen, expansive lanais and quick access to the estates 1.5 acres of beachfront, it isnt uncommon to find Connell in the guesthouse. I love the guesthouse and the thing that attracts me there is our caretaker, Oleg, he admits. Ill go over there and shoot pool with him, make dinner, and just relax. Allen adds that the guesthouse is complete with the same custom finishes as the main residence, just smaller in size at 1,900 square feet. Connell never intrudes on the stays of his celebrity guests, but notes that whenever hes at the estate, hes sure to see stars. At night, well go out to the oceanside lawn and watch for shooting stars, says Connell. Its just one more piece of this property that will touch your soul.

HILLSBOROUGH, CALIFORNIA
THE
Tobin Clark Estate

By Jessica Decina
An iconic estate in Hillsborough, California, offers a chance to be a part of a rich history.
he Tobin Clark Estate, also known as the House on the Hill, holds many wonderful memories within its 35,000 square feet. From its original construction in the 1930s to a complete renovation in the 1990s, it has become one of the West Coasts most illustrious residences. Now on the market for $29 million, the home awaits its newest chapter. Commissioned by the bank heiress Celia Tobin Clark, the Hillsborough estate originally encompassed hundreds of acres. The homes current owner has lived there for about 20 years, many of which were spent entertaining former presidents, kings, and other political dignitaries, says Joel Goodrich, who co-lists the estate with Dona Crowder, both with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. [The estates] history gives it a certain cache of provenance, says Goodrich. Its the kind of home where people can do the kind of entertaining and hosting thats very important here political fundraising, networking and social events. Its a property that lends itself well to that. The current owner is no stranger to political involvement, affirms Eugene Anthony of Eugene Anthony Design Group, who led the redesign of the property in the early 1990s. Approximately $20 million was spent during that renovation. Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher are some of the people who have visited the estate, says Anthony, whose mission as a designer was to preserve the integrity of the original architects vision. According to Anthony, David Adler, the original architect, was entirely focused, at that time, on creating residences influenced by large European estates. In order to accommodate guests of honor, Anthony redesigned a private area of the home with an elegance reflective of accommodations at the White House. A long corridor leads to what they refer to as the Presidential Suite, he says. It is very much in the Washington style with a four-poster bed, adjacent sitting and changing rooms and private bath. One of the homes most elegant rooms is the very spacious music room, which gives a sense of the homes prominence, says Crowder. The room boasts a piano at its center, and massive oil paintings depicting mythical images of musicians. The music room has such a graceful charm, and its quite grand. You really get a sense of being in a special place, a home that entertained a lot, a home that has been shared. It has that weight, that solemnity, she says. The famed estates legacy remains indelible. Even for todays standards, Anthony says, The Tobin Clark Estate is absolutely exquisite. Once you enter through those gates and open the front door you are in awe. It makes you appreciate great architecture, not good architecture great architecture.

Moira Holley with Realogics Sothebys International Realty lists this home for $7.2 million in one of Seattles most historic neighborhoods. Its design juxtaposes the vintage character of a Hamptons summer home with crisp, modern elements.
erty markets under $2 million as on fire, that characterization aptly fits all price brackets. Year-over-year sales of homes above $3 million are up by more than 60 percent. Not only did the Bay Area have a record volume of sales, but we also had record prices, says Mavromihalis, citing the $117.5 million sale of an estate in Woodside, Calif., which eclipses the $100 million paid for a Los Altos property in 2011. Here, as it does almost everywhere in the state, the data tells the story. In six of the eight counties in the San Francisco area, homes are selling over list price, as much as 113 percent over list in the East Bay. Days on market range from a high of 39 in Napa to 13 in Contra Costa County and East Bay. In the $500,000 to $1.8 million range in all six counties as many as 10 offers are not uncommon. Even appraisers have caught on to the realities of the new market dynamic. Appraisers have not had a challenge at appraising over the list price. Ninety percent of the time appraisers have been able to get their arms around the purchase price, McLaughlin observes. Still, San Francisco is one market eliciting bubble speculation among some pundits. One could say its frothy demand or one could say pent-up demand is driving prices, but thats not a bubble, comments McLaughlin. But if anything is frothy in the region, it might be the booming local economy, which might be a catalyst for real 392 UniqueHomes.com
estate purchases and price hikes, even more than the lack of inventory. San Francisco (and the Bay Area) is having its own little cocktail party driven by the incredibly healthy job market, says McLaughlin, pointing to Apple, Google, LinkedIn, Zynga and all the high-tech companies that are creating good, quality jobs. There is no time in the history of the world when a greater of amount of wealth has been created in a shorter
period of time or a smaller geographic area than in the last 30 years, observes Mavromihalis, who finds it astounding that prices in the city of San Francisco have not cracked the $50 million mark, making it a bargain by global standards.

the stock market and the desirable of living in South California. We are seeing buyers coming from all around the world, pushing up demand and prices. The only problem is inventory. We dont have enough houses to show, Rey says. For properties priced above $5 million in the L.A. area, December 2012 was the biggest December on record. More properties in excess of $5 million sold last year than in 2007, but not at as high prices. Prices are still strengthening because of lack of inventory, she observes. Jeff Hyland, co-owner of the Beverly Hills brokerage Hilton & Hyland, says business increased by 70 percent in the last year. Adding to the lack of inventory was a surge of pre-tax-changes sales in December, he points out, noting that rising prices are encouraging sellers who took their homes off the market during the downturn to put them back on. All of which shows buyers are once again seeing real estate as a safe investment. Particularly for properties at the highest price points, foreign buyers constitute a huge percentage of upscale buyers here. Hurwitzs listings extend beyond California to other states and to Europe, Canada, Asia and Latin America. There is no question that California is the number one destination to buy a home and invest money from overseas. Although I have buyers from Europe and Latin America, including one Malibu estate in escrow to a very wealthy couple from Venezuela, 90 percent at least of the buyers are Chinese or Russian, he explains. Rey personally has been reaching out to international buyers and top international brokers, beginning with Japan in the 1980s. Today, many of the top brokers in Beverly Hills, Malibu and other platinum locations follow her lead and actively court international buyers. Brokers agree view properties are the most sought after. Privacy is also very important, shares Rey. Many international buyers are looking for safe havens for their families, as well as their money, explains Moore-Moore. And some will buy a property just for these attributes, tearing down or extensively renovating the existing house. The mistake sellers can make is to misunderstand activity and think they can overprice their properties because of the stronger market. People arent stupid, and even though they are prepared to buy now, they arent going to overpay, Hurwitz says. Pricing in a recovering market is still very tricky. But, as Rey shares, anyone who is tempted to overprice soon learns that the market talks to you very quickly.
year declines. Since April 2012, prices have been on an upward track. Distressed sales accounted for 40 percent of Seattles resale market in January, down from 53 percent a year earlier, according to DataQuick, a San Diego firm that tracks real estate trends via public property records. For the high-end market, the recovery started well over a year ago and sales are strong and inventory low, says Joe Spencer, area director for Keller Williams Northwest Region. High-demand areas are generating multiple offers and time on the market is going down. In January, sales of homes priced at $2 million or above were up 160 percent. Luxury in Seattle begins typically at the $1 million mark. Smaller jewel box homes and high-floor-view condominiums are snapped up in the $1 million to just under $2 million range nearly every day, explains Moira Holley with Realogics Sothebys International Realty in Seattle. While demand for properties in the $5 million and up price brackets is still playing catch up, Holley and other brokers say they are seeing quite an uptick in demand for larger $3 million traditional homes in the best neighborhoods. With prices starting to creep up as a result of renewed buyer confidence, there are few, if any, great buys left along the waterfront. Teardowns in prime locations are emerging as a trend with $1 million-plus properties being replaced with $2 million to $3 million new homes. Both builders and homeowners are competing in this area. San Diego Although days on market for all properties averaged about 60 in March 2013, considerably higher than other Cal-
ifornia coastal areas, it still represents a jump ahead for real estate in San Diego, where the average property was on the market for more than 90 days a year ago. Median prices for detached homes in March 2013 were up overall by 18 percent, according to the Greater San Diego Association of Realtors, although Case Shillers composite pegs change based on Januarys prices at 9.8 percent. Currently, the inventory stands at 1.5 months, well below the six months NAR considers an equal balance between buyers and sellers. The luxury market here is just beginning to awaken, showing the first signs of revival. In prime areas such as La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe and Coronado, prices are beginning to creep up, although they are still well below historic highs. There are great opportunities that are just beginning to move again, says Trudy Stambook of Centre City Properties. Unlike Beverly Hills or cities like Atherton, Stambook says, San Diego is a hub for small businesses and attracts a number of self-made individuals. Additionally, she says, changing demographics bring many more buyers in their 40s. Stambook credits former Mayor Pete Wilson, who went on to become a U. S. Senator and two-term governor of California, with the vision that created San Diegos vibrant downtown. Looking ahead, she expects to see more interest and development in the downtown. Another boost to the luxury market will be the addition of new daily direct flights to London and Tokyo, as well as a number of U.S. cities including Washington, D.C. All of which, along with prices still hovering at historic lows, make San Diego properties some of the most attractive along the West Coast.
Residence 3402 at the Pinnacle Marina Tower in downtown San Diego recently sold for $3.5 million. Listed by Trudy Stambook of Centre City Properties, the unit has two bedrooms, three and one half baths, and nearly 3,000 square feet.

Instead, Simonsen, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, started a fitness company, called Simonsen Says. She was contemplating her future in the business when she was inspired by a friend getting her real estate license to change careers. It wasnt something I planned for a long time, says Simonsen.
