Robert Greenwood was hosted by Haute Media Group Cofounder Seth Semilof. Watch their conversation below.

The topics included Greenwood’s illustrious career with credible experience abroad building an understanding of his clientele, joining the highly esteemed Christie's International team, and his eventual ascendancy in the Turks & Caicos Islands luxury real estate market.

Robert Greenwood is on a Directors and Partner of Regency-Christie's International Real Estate, operating as one of the firm's Senior Brokers and Real Estate Advisors and a member of the Christie's Masters Circle. With veteran knowledge and proficiencies in high-value sales, resort management, development, and offshore investment, he has more than 35 years of personal work experience within the Turks and Caicos Islands. His extensive portfolio includes golf courses, condominiums, colleges, and hotel resort projects. Being affiliated with Christie's International Real Estate for almost a decade now, Greenwood has gained invaluable experience in the luxury real estate market guiding buyers with experience, professionalism, and trust.

Here are some of the questions and answers from the exclusive interview with Greenwood.

Seth Semilof: What exactly is a partner of the Regency Christie's International Real Estate and member of the Christie's Masters Circle?

Robert Greenwood: Christie's International Real Estate is one of the top luxury real estate brands in the world. We have been affiliated with Christie's for almost two decades now. With an investment angle, that has really helped us with our global exposure and the trust of the brand name. We have a fantastic team here at Christie's in the Turks and Caicos Islands with a breadth of knowledge. It is a great collaboration with Christie's and our team of 10 agents works very efficiently in the high-net-worth, high-value world of real estate.

SS: What made you want to get into real estate on the buy and sell side?

RG: It happened organically. At one point, I did the triad where I had a management company, a construction company, and a real estate company where one would feed the other. I did that for a long time, but I always gravitated towards real estate. I love the different styles of architecture. I really enjoy interacting with the people that we meet here. We get such a wide demographic of buyers from across the world, and you never know who you are actually dealing with everything from A-listers to captains of industry. The Turks is not just reserved for mega villas in the $20 million range. We are very price affordable in certain areas and certain condos, so I get to meet some incredible people.

SS: How was the island when you first launched the brokerage firm? What was your strategy?

RG: It was certainly very different than it is today. We did not have the technology that we have today. We did not have the inventory that we had today, but we also did not have the amount of brokerages. There are 16 brokerages within the Turks, but back then, it was three or four. It has always been very word of mouth in the Turks and Caicos Islands. It was slow-moving. Operating a real estate company was not aggressive at all and did not need to be. I do say quite often I have never really sold any real estate. The island already does that for me. My job is to simply guide you through the process.

SS: Tell us about who your mentor was or who helped mold you into where you are at today.

RG: I cannot mention his name, but he has an extensive background in commercial real estate in Canada. He was actually one of my first sales. The majority of my clients become my friends. You have to have the passion and the love of what you do. I love living in the Turks and Caicos Islands. I love what I do and love the people I meet. People see that and they recognize it is authentic. That is what makes the difference. You can read all the books you would like. You can have all the mentors you like. You can learn all the psychology of sales, but it really comes down to true authenticity. Make sure buyers get what they want. They will tell you everything you need to know.

SS: Who are the buyers? Where are they coming from?

RG: A lot of buyers are from the United States. It is a big demographic for us, and we are so easy to get to. It is a hop, skip, and a jump three and a half hours from New York. 90 minutes from Miami. We have direct flights from Charlotte, from Atlanta, and from Houston. Now, we are getting interest from new demographics in California and Vegas. Predominantly, U.S. buyers, but Europe is another big one and South America. The grand prize here is going to be exceptional, not just for real estate, but for tourism. They go parallel when you come down here. You fall in love on vacation, and we can offer you a condo from $290,000 to $68 million or $86 million. It has the full range.

The Allen B. DuMont Estate

This historic estate is best known for being the home of American inventor and engineer, Allen B. DuMont. Widely recognized as the Father of Television, DuMont commercialized TV as we know it and went on to create a television network in New York City, WABD, which is now FOX 5 News.

Sitting atop the First Watchung mountain, the majestic 9+ acre DuMont Estate overlooks New York City and offers jaw dropping scenic views. The property, which stands behind a 500-foot private drive, is conveniently located for both suburban and urban life, and yet still exudes the feeling of a tranquil private oasis.

The DuMont Estate is composed of two unique residences. Sitting amidst the expansive manicured lawns, the main residence 275 East Bradford, is an architecturally imposing structure with castle-like elements. The interior of the home is spacious and bright thanks to its many large, custom windows. It also features a stunning spiral staircase, a rich home office/library and a charming sunroom, giving the illusion that one is sitting in the outdoor gardens all year round. Several rooms, including the main bedroom suite, feature striking views of the NYC skyline and of the surrounding lush natural beauty. Perfectly suited for outdoor entertaining, 275 East Bradford boasts meticulously maintained gardens, as well as elegant paver and stone patios, one of which runs alongside part of the home.

Situated adjacent to the main manor is its charismatic sister estate, 271 East Bradford. Also showcasing impressive views of bountiful greenery and the New York City skyline, the home resembles a refined countryside manor tucked away in nature. Warm, open and inviting, 271 East Bradford was renovated in 2018 with designer finishes. The natural light, clean lines and hardwood flooring that define the home's sunny interior and energy, make for both a beautiful and comfortable place to live. Spacious and stunning, the home's true chef kitchen features an eye-catching deep blue stove, oversized wood-top working island, and lots of natural light from the numerous windows and large sliding doors that open to the backyard. With its serene setting, in-ground swimming pool and surrounding patio, 271 East Bradford is perfect for outdoor relaxation and enjoyment.

Life at the Allen B. DuMont Estate is synonymous with luxury and comfort. A Christie's International Real Estate Signature Program property.

"We saw an influx of out-of-state buyers coming to Oregon in 2020 despite expectations of a slowdown in the high-end luxury market, and we expect the same through at least the second quarter of 2021. Large homes are in demand, which reflects a new normal as buyers are maximizing space to enjoy life while working remotely." - Kendra Ratcliff, vice president and principal broker of LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate, Oregon.

"Seattle’s luxury market has been strong and resilient, and we see no signs of it slowing down in 2021. We’ve benefited from the exodus of residents from other states where high taxes have become burdensome. Plus, the strength of the high-tech industry is helping to fuel growth throughout the region. Overall, the Pacific Northwest remains a strong market." - Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle.

Despite the difficulties 2020 has presented, the team at Provenance Properties has seen real estate sales continue and even increase throughout the COVID-19 lockdown and since shelter in place was lifted in the Cayman Islands in late June. Having transacted a number of recent sales over the summer, Fleur Coleman, lead sales specialist at Provenance Properties Cayman Islands – the official Christie’s International Real Estate affiliate shares how she accommodated overseas clients and online viewings, all while homeschooling her eight-year-old son Max.

How did you pivot your work style during the lockdown? Did you find virtual client services difficult?

I found it quite easy to adapt to virtual meetings with my colleagues and clients during the lockdown. Our meetings with clients focused on getting to know them and building a relationship so I could truly understand their preferences when matching them with properties. I was able to offer valuable client services without meeting in person or doing an in-person showing.

Photo Credit: Provenance Properties Cayman Islands

You have recently closed on a number of sales! What has contributed to the sales activity you have seen in the last six months?

We were busy during lockdown because people were home and had time to look for properties online and chat with me. We only got busier once businesses re-opened domestically – even with overseas clients who cannot travel just yet. We had four virtual showings in the last week! Many of our clients are from the United States and want to move to the Cayman Islands to provide a safe place for their families. As a destination, Cayman has much to offer – in addition to our well-established benefits of being a stunning destination, tax-neutral, safe, sophisticated and diverse, the country did an incredible job in containing the spread of the virus so we now represent a safe haven for people to come and live while much of the rest of the world is still in crisis.

Our sales activity has picked up because of the marketing and sales programmes we have in place. Our brokerage is uniquely positioned due to the bespoke relationships and distribution channels afforded us by our affiliation with Christie’s International Real Estate and the extensive international business development programmes in niche markets we have been establishing in the last two years. These channels proved to be critical to our success this year because we now have such a well-established buyer’s network and we are regarded as the trusted advisors for high-net-worth clients looking to establish a presence in Cayman.

In the last week alone, we’ve put six properties under contract, including a penthouse at The Residences at Seafire and land in Red Bay. Even during these uncertain times, people are still interested in purchasing property for investment purposes. The last week was the busiest week I’ve ever had in real estate.

What was it like working from home while also homeschooling Max?

It was definitely a challenge to adjust during the first few weeks of working from home and homeschooling my son. He had virtual classes around the same time I had virtual meetings with clients. Without a nanny, it made it more difficult to adjust. However, once we had a system in place, it became much easier for both of us, and we were able to make the most of it!

How has this year made you reflect on your career in real estate?

It was a career change for me when I moved into real estate, but I have never been happier. I love working with a great team, I love the flexibility of the job, and as a homebody myself, I love being able to match my clients with their ideal homes.

Photo Credit: Provenance Properties Cayman Islands

What do you think the real estate market in the Cayman Islands is going to look like over the next year?

I expect we might see some fluctuation on lower-priced properties towards the end of the year but I don’t expect prices for high-end properties to decrease any time soon. If the real estate industry is thriving in Cayman during a pandemic, we can only imagine how successful it will be once borders reopen and the world returns to normal.

Embark on a journey to a North American architectural masterpiece. This custom-made log-home is nestled in lush waterfront greenery a mere 15 minutes from the Seattle Ferry. Take advantage of this unique, 4,087 sq. ft. Bainbridge Island real-estate opportunity, featuring a 184' rock-bulkhead with waterfront views quietly located on a spacious acre of property in Port Madison Bay complete with a community boat launch and private buoy.

Built in 1996 with the utmost discernment, this 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom log-cabin was constructed with hand-hewn Western Red Cedar and logged by helicopter from British Columbia backwoods. The entire residence was assembled in Whistler, delicately taken apart, transferred to the Pacific Northwest, and then carefully reassembled to its current state.

No expense was spared when designing specific furniture to fit the size, material, and overall concept of the home, and each piece was created with unique craftsmanship. The centralized, custom-built fireplace boasts foraged stones from Montana, Idaho, and British Columbia. The heated, flagstone stone floors were hand-cut and quarried in Ontario. Even the furniture and fixtures were designed to specifically fit that home, such as the pine-wood tables and dining room's large, iron chandelier.

15740 Euclid Avenue NE is truly a treasure built with care and set with distinctive North American materials, conceptualized and constructed with the skills of some of Pacific Northwest's best designers and craftsmen.

Address: 15740 Euclid Ave NE, Bainbridge Island, WA 98110

Price: $3,100,000

The panelists were hosted by Haute Living's Erik Haase in the engaging dialogue. They were:

• Robert Greenwood, Partner, Regency International Estates, Turks and Caicos
• John Christie, Partner, HG Christie, Bahamas
• Justin White, Director of Sales, Anchor Antigua Realty, Antigua
• Craig Ryan, Principal, Anchor Antigua Realty, Antigua

Watch the webinar below.

Highlight quotes:

Robert Greenwood: "In Turks and Caicos, we just had a look at the second quarter numbers and we've held well over the preceding couple of years. In some sectors, especially our villa sector, we actually increased sales last year, so I think that's a real indicator that people are looking for COVID safe haven properties throughout the entire region... We see the growth because people are looking for a safe haven. And if you're going to quarantine, you might just as well quarantine in paradise... [Buyers] feel comfortable because they know the Christie's brand, the trust and the integrity that comes with it, and they're happy to say, 'Okay, let's do the deal.'"

John Christie: "There are different kinds of buyers and visitors in the Bahamas. If you're someone from New York and you're used to action being around, Nassau is the place for you, with large hotels, casinos, nightclubs, and all the main luxury communities. With COVID, we have seen a spike in interest in private islands, because there's no better place to have than your own private island if you want to control your destiny and a place to lock down. That's been one of our strengths. If you're a beginner buyer or someone that has a couple of extra dollars, you can get lots as low as $20,000."

Justin White: "Antigua is a unique place. We have zero capital gains tax, zero inheritance tax, and zero income tax. That's the benefit there and itself. We have opportunities in almost every single angle, especially with regards to real estate... We have boutique hotels, luxury resorts, luxury villas, and tons of empty primetime land right on the ocean with a citizenship aspect, whereby you can gain citizenship to this country if you meet certain prerequisites... Being Antiguan isn't just for Antiguans. If you're willing to come here and adopt the culture and invest with us, we are happy to put our arm around your shoulder and say you're one of us."

Craig Ryan: "We have seen a big uptick in our luxury rental market. There's nothing easier than for your family to come down and get a five-bedroom villa on the beach, and you have your week to be by yourself... We opened up our borders June 1st, and from there, we've had full planes from America because there's a huge demand. People are ready to finally get out and enjoy life... If I have a client that doesn't find a product that works in Antigua, I'm calling up John and Robert. That's the level of family we have between the affiliates where it's not a cold introduction email. We have support between the islands and the Christie's network overall."

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Dan Conn: "This market dropped harder and faster than any market that I can recall, and it has rebounded quicker than any time I can recall... More people in the luxury end are focused on having another home. I think that's a permanent change... If you're into the New York life, you're in the New York Life. You don't leave it... We're not just focused on global real estate. We are focused on luxury goods and the sale of the greatest art objects in the world...

Sue Nickason: "What's interesting is the interest and the inquiries that we're getting from new markets. So obviously Hong Kong, mainland China, India, some parts of Latin America that, historically, [from which] we hadn't received a lot of interest. Those inquiries are coming through trusted advisors, such as private client lawyers, accountants, and affiliates and agents in other jurisdictions. It comes back to globally mobile affluent individuals looking to future proof in terms of residency and in terms of having a place of safe refuge such as the Cayman Islands."

Nancy Almodovar: "Christie's International Real Estate [has] been such a great resource not just on educating myself and my team on what it is to offer not only luxury properties but also luxury service. That has been great, and then being able to connect with so many of our affiliates all around the world, and be able to service our clients when they're looking to move to those parts of the world."

Sonja Cullaro: "We have seen an influx of buyers and renters from New York City into our markets across northern New Jersey and Westchester and the Hudson Valley. It started more for short-term rentals and then it quickly morphed into buyer interest. We have seen people looking for both primary and secondary residences. When they're looking for secondary residences, it's always with an eye on the school system and the fact that the secondary residence may become a primary residence in the future.

Alex Jansen: "The Aspen market came back with a vengeance. Aspen has seen at least 100% uptick as far as under-contracts right now compared to the same time last year because there was this big lag. In April and May, the closings were very anemic, but we're seeing lots of very large properties go under contract north of $10 million, and some north of $20 million in that market. In Clearwater, the month of July is slated to be the best month on record based on volume for the Tampa Bay Area.

Brian Meier: "Since the reopening of New York City, we've been very busy. We have not seen prices drop dramatically. There have been some adjustments. It's going to need a little more time to tell where it's going to shake out, but the people who are leaving Manhattan, most of them are putting their properties on the market for rent. We have had a very slight increase in the saturation on the sales side, but we do have a lot of demand."

The post Watch: The State Of The Luxury Market With Christie’s International Real Estate appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group, Marcelo Kingston, Managing Partner of Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management (REAM), Leo Medeiros, Director of Sales at 181 Fremont, and Erin Boisson Aries, Founder of Erin Boisson Aries Team at Christie's International Real Estate, were hosted by Haute Living's April Donelson. The dialogue with and between the experts went into the penthouses their companies represent, as well as the state of their respective real estate markets during the quarantine and now as the industry is reopening to pre-pandemic operations.

Watch the webinar below.

Defortuna and Kingston showcased 57 Ocean, the 71-home boutique building set along Millionaire’s Row between Atlantic Heights and Mid-Beach in Miami Beach, and its $35-million penthouse. "The concept is to really connect with nature and to provide a healthy lifestyle in all aspects to the consumer that is the user of this property," said Defortuna, whose team at Fortune Development Sales is the exclusive broker of 57 Ocean.

"We are very proud about this rooftop penthouse where you can enjoy 360 views of Miami, the ocean and Intercoastal Waterway, and in pretty much 15,000 square feet (8,000 indoor, 7,000 outdoor), which is really unique, wrapping up the whole unit in one single floor," said Kingston. "We set the ocean as the front stage of any moment within the building. When the thought about the project and inspiration for the penthouse, we were trying to create special touchpoints and special moments within that space."

Boisson Aries gave a Big Apple-worthy presentation of the $34 million penthouse at One Beacon Court, including the never-ending views of New York City. "If you're going to be in New York, you want to have the most spectacular views," she said. "Vertically, we go north as far as the eye can see. Horizontally, (the views from the penthouse) goes from the East River all the way to New Jersey and beyond. There are great views in New York, and then there are spectacular us in New York. This one qualifies as having absolutely spectacular views. The apartment is 9,000 square feet in total and it's five bedrooms and six and a half baths. It is a duplex so it's spread over two floors. What this double-height space does is bring the entire city into your apartment."

Medeiros highlighted a stunning $46 million penthouse at 181 Fremont in San Francisco, pointing out that the photos did not do it justice since he participated in the webinar from inside the unit. "Our Grand Penthouse is nearly 7,000 square feet. It's the tallest residence west of Chicago," he said. "It includes all the furnishings and accessories. It happens to be the most expensive home in San Francisco, but it's also probably the most spectacular residence in San Francisco and, I think, the West Coast."

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Elena Bluntzer: "There are more opportunities now than before the pandemic. We are seeing an interest in single-family homes. We are seeing more and faster activity, almost to a bidding war. This will drive their values higher than what was previously expected. With condos, prices have not dropped as much as buyers expected... This year, we are already experiencing a lot of northeasterners coming down here... Sellers are much more interested in cash buyers now... I believe staying informed and ahead of the game is going to give us the advantage to help our buyers and sellers... We have to be aware to recalibrate more often than we are used to; there's no way to say there's a new normal. We are shifting every day, every week... It (recent time) has been a lot of self-reflection, organizing, and tweaking. All of that has come into play. I have taken advantage of that as best possible and I know my colleagues have as well."

Carolann Clynes: "It (the pandemic) has given us all a chance to reflect and think about going forward... A lot of buyers and sellers are happy doing things virtually... The typical buyers coming out of the cities want fresh air, more space inside and outside. For a long time in the Summit area, pools have not been popular. We now find that we have more buyers asking for pools... Interest rates are very low, maybe as low as they have ever been, particularly for adjustable-rate mortgages... Even through pandemics and recessions, our values hold quite well. Taxes are stable... We have most of our buyers anxious to buy and moving quickly. We are going from a buyer's market to a seller's market in the high-end, which we haven't seen in quite a while... If all goes well and the pandemic hopefully slows down, the summer will be very busy into September and October... The real estate market is not for the faint of heart. It's a wonderful profession."

People who used to travel the world and stay in beautiful homes to get away from their busy lives are now thinking about second homes because, in unpredictable times like these, travel just isn’t an option. “Absolutely, the incidence of second home buying will go up,” says Dan Conn, CEO of Christie’s International Real Estate.

According to Harris Poll’s April 28, 2020 report, 43 percent of urban dwellers and 26 percent of suburbanites have recently browsed real estate websites for homes/apartments to rent or buy. The coronavirus pandemic has people thinking about how they want to live, according to Conn. With more opportunity to work remotely, properties in rural areas or acreage properties within a short drive from urban centers have become attractive options as they provide a sense of separation or distance.

“Inquiries about vineyards, acreage estates and off-the-grid properties have increased significantly over the last two months,” says Kendra Ratcliff, COO of Washington’s Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle. “Our clients are re-evaluating their lives and realizing that working from home is not only possible but preferable.”

This dramatic shift in interest is being seen on a global level. “Our brokers throughout the world, from Portugal to Antigua to Amsterdam and Monaco, are receiving more and more interest in properties that promote a more self-sustaining lifestyle,” continues Ratcliff. “Washington has an incredible array of locations where one can find luxury properties. The Pacific Northwest is truly appealing to our clients because of the area’s natural beauty and outstanding real estate options that range from secluded island properties in the Puget Sound to ranches in Eastern Washington, vineyards in the Walla Walla, Columbia and Yakima Valleys and mountain-top getaways near Mt. Rainier or the breathtaking Okanogan in Washington and British Columbia, Canada.”

Sacrificing luxury for location is no longer a concern as remote properties in the luxury category are far from the rustic cabin in the woods of yesteryear. “While you may be miles from the nearest grocery store, these rural estates have the same or better amenities as their urban counterparts,” Ratcliff explains. Helipads, pools, hiking trails, equestrian grounds, gardens, and vineyards are but a few of the exterior features you might find. While gourmet kitchens, “smart home” technology, athletic courts, wine cellars, gyms, and saunas are often found inside these highly sought-after homes.

High-end rural properties in the Pacific Northwest are not new, but this shift in the luxury real estate market has created a new demand for them that is sure to stay. “I think [second home buying] will be a secular shift in the market. That won’t change,” concluded Conn.

“Those looking to distance themselves physically, whether it is a primary residence or vacation home, will never have to compromise location for luxury,” Ratcliff assures. “We have incredible properties in all corners of Washington that fit the needs of our high-wealth clients.”

For more information about rural luxury properties throughout Oregon and Washington, please contact Kendra Ratcliff at 503-330-6677 or kendraratcliff@christiesrealestateseattle.com.

Built in 1940 by the U.S. Navy just prior to WWII as the operational command center of the Navy’s North Pacific Fleet communication system, “Building 39” is considered to be one of the most historical properties on the West Coast. This one-of-a-kind residence sits on 10 spectacular, secluded acres on Bainbridge Island in Seattle’s Puget Sound and has been transformed into a timeless island estate that has retained its historic appeal. Classic design and modern amenities fill the 12,018 square-foot home that is the epitome of luxury, style and privacy. Features including a 1,000+ square-foot master suite; 14-ft. ceilings; an indoor pool; 5-car garage; formal gardens; lovely patios and terraces; and a gorgeous gourmet kitchen that overlooks the property create an unprecedented level of luxury. This incredible estate is not only a special piece of history but a place that you will be proud to call home.

Highlight quotes from the webinar:

Brian Guiltinan: "The good thing about real estate is that, with technology, we have moved this way for a few years... I think we will see a lot of product (homes) hit the market this summer... You have to know your marketplace. It takes time to build relationships."

Moira E. Holley: "Zoom has now become part of my daily routine. I feel comfortable with my iPhone, iPad and Facetime walking through a property with clients on the other end, or just sending them a video so they can take a look."

Frank D. Isoldi: "Manhattan is an awesome place; Brooklyn is off the charts. But we are seeing a shift towards the suburbs. Now more than ever, people are going to be looking for outdoors, home gyms, home offices... It's crucial to have the right people working on the transaction on both sides." 

Devin Kay: "Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook play a pivotal role to keep in touch with people. I have 10-12 buyers from outside of Florida looking to get into the market. Having a huge presence in social media and marketing is going to make a difference... With rates where they are now, banks are going to be more careful on who they lend to and how they qualify people."

Highlight quotes from today's webinar with Dan Conn:

"Our business has survived in the luxury world because of the way we think about servicing clients... You should think about your clients and your relationship with them. When you ask 'How can I help?', it makes a difference... For the agents, try to be careful. Stay out of harm's way and keep your clients out of harm's way. Do things virtually... If they can afford it, people want to get away from the density they were feeling as this (the pandemic) started to hit... The change in tax policy was helping and will continue to help Florida, but now there is another variable, that people will shy away from urban centers to go to less dense areas (like Florida)... In 2020, the most important thing is to focus on the team, try to keep everyone together, engaged... I don't see a scenario where the future of real estate is negative. People will always want a home."

About today's panelists:

• Modlin is Founder of Modlin Group, which has closed transactions in excess of $2 billion, including a record-setting $77 million New York single-family townhouse.
• Steinberg is one of New York’s most successful and prominent brokers, grossing over $150 million in sales yearly, and star of “The American Dream New York City” on WLNY-CBS.

Highlight quotes:

Modlin: "This quarantine has caused all of us to look inward and redefine what home means to us. This is a very unusual time... I expect people to come out of this with a strong desire to buy real estate. I think we'll see a resurgence of interest in single-family environments with outdoor space, townhouses, boutique condominiums with fewer units, and fully amenitized buildings... Now is the time to do your homework. Learn and develop an encyclopedic knowledge of comps. You need to know your numbers."

Steinberg: "There will be pent-up demand for purchasing real estate. I think our biggest challenge when we get back into business is going to be buyers and sellers' perspectives... It's going to take really seasoned professionals to be able to close a deal and do what's best for your seller/buyer... (Before,) you had a launch event for a new development with hundreds of brokers. I believe those days are over... There are deals to be made as long as they are fair and reasonable. There will be a lot of business being made if both sides (buyers and sellers) adjust."

The post A Lush Vancouver Estate By Christie’s International Real Estate, Seattle appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Built by a life-long rancher and renowned breeder of cutting horses, this luxury equestrian estate sits on 8.4 acres in Molalla, Oregon, conveniently located between Portland and Salem in the foothills of the Cascade Range just 15 miles from the Mt. Hood National Forest.

The estate’s custom home is a blend of the best from Mid-Century, contemporary and ranch styles with simple, clean lines and interesting design elements that make it special. The welcoming, open-concept great room looks like it leapt from the pages of Architectural Digest, with 10-foot ceilings, an oversized kitchen island with breakfast bar and a floor-to-ceiling transparent wine wall between the office and great room. The covered outdoor kitchen and living room provides immense space for entertaining and enjoying Oregon’s year-round mild weather as well as fabulous unobstructed views for miles around. The innovative design extends into the master suite as well. The whole suite was the property’s original homestead, and the 10x10 meditation room was once the front porch. The master bath has a wet room concept with a free-standing tub and exquisite tile work.

The luxurious nature of this property continues to the stables which were built to be a showcase structure. By design, the stables don’t look like a barn but rather like a reflection of the house. The building has an office space, tack room, overhead doors on each end, and seven total stalls that include three extra-large stalls that are large enough for horses to foal and grow and four standard stalls. Obsessed with details, the owners created an infrastructure that supports an active lifestyle with minimal fuss, including an effortless drainage system, a raised double-wide driveway, easy pass-through garage door access in the barn, and noble pipe fencing.

Don’t let the quiet, private, rural location fool you, Molalla’s small but mighty commercial center with groceries, shopping, and dining is just a four-minute drive from the house and three of Oregon’s best golf courses are within five miles.

This property is not available for sale on the open market at this time, but private showings may be arranged and offers to purchase may be submitted through the property’s representatives Friederike Svensson and Juli Martin at LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate.

Address: 11471 South Highway 211, Molalla, OR

Price: $1,200,000

For more information, please contact Friederike Svensson and Juli Martin at 503-388-5570 or info@svenssonmartin.com.

The post LUXE Christie’s Presents A Luxury Equestrian Molalla Property appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The Aquinnah estate designed by architect Hugh Newell Jacobson known as Red Gate Farm, which was built in 1981, has five bedrooms and five full baths set on a sprawling 340 oceanfront acres, according to Christie's International Real Estate.

The luxe sanctuary is located at the edge of Squibnocket Pond and encompasses more than a mile of Atlantic Ocean beachfront near the famous Cliffs of Gay Head. Onassis purchased the property in 1979 as a summer home and retreat for her family.

Included in the purchase is a 6,456 square foot elegant Cape Cod-style main house where all rooms (except the dining room) overlook the Atlantic Ocean along with a cedar shingled two-story guest home. There are also two freshwater ponds, a vegetable garden, blueberry patch, an outdoor pool, tennis court, boathouse, barn, two garages, a hunting cabin, storage building and three-bedroom caretaker's house and two-bedroom guest/staff apartment.

In 2000, daughter Caroline Kennedy commissioned Deborah Berke, dean of the Yale School of Architecture, to renovate and expand the main residence. “Forty years ago, my mother fell in love with Martha’s Vineyard," Kennedy said in a news release. "When she found Red Gate Farm, it was a perfect expression of her romantic and adventurous spirit. The dunes and ponds and rolling hills of Aquinnah gave her the chance to create a world where she could be so close to nature, close to her family and friends, and, most importantly, close to her beloved books. She even built a fairy treehouse for her grandchildren.”

Here's a look at Red Gate Farm:

The 13,000 square foot main house sits atop a 119 acre property, which also boasts a 3,850 sq ft guest house and a 1,400 sq ft annex. The wood-log construction opens with a dual-sided wood carved staircase, leading into an interior filled with light streaming in from the soaring two-story windows. From the main living room with stone fireplace to the formal dining room with a chandelier of antlers, this is a unique balance between state-of-the-art luxury and rustic decor. The lakeside property boasts a home theatre, two-story library, game room complete with wet bar and pool table, spa with steam shower and sauna, personal gym and indoor pool.

Matt Faupel at Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates (an affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate) has the listing.

The post $37,000,000 Riva Ridge Estate Sits 800 Feet Above Jackson Hole Valley appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Built in November of 2012, this 2.1 acre property has incredible views of the surrounding mountains from the floor-to-ceiling windows throughout.
