“We heard dire predictions from experts saying the real estate market was poised for a free fall,” says Kendra Ratcliff, vice president and principal broker of LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate. “What we experienced, however, was quite the opposite in the high-end luxury market. While there was a brief period of adjustment, our buyers and sellers realized that luxury properties could weather this storm.”

Across the country, it was necessary for brokers to adapt to the new selling environment. Using the phenomenal technology available, LUXE Christie’s brokers created new ways for buyers to safely view homes using live virtual tours and videos. Connecting with clients in-person during tours and office meetings was replaced with Zoom meetings, and social media replaced in-person networking. These exciting new marketing tools worked well to reach buyers, and the reinvention of how business was conducted was a success.

By May, LUXE Christie’s sales of $1 million-plus properties in Oregon were back. “Many buyers were now looking for large homes with properties where their families could easily and safely quarantine,” explains Ratcliff. Homes with space for families to spread out, work remotely and home school were hot, as were properties where recreation opportunities, like pools, sport courts, acreage, or water access, were literally in the backyard.

“The Pacific Northwest was far from immune from the nation’s economic slowdown,” Ratcliff says, “but the technology, digital media and e-commerce companies based in the region remained stable, and even flourished, with the increase in consumer online spending and use of technology to work from home.” This was a boon for the region and gave many of LUXE Christie’s clients the means to take advantage of the luxury homes that were on the market. “We also benefitted from an influx of out-of-state, high-net-worth buyers coming to Oregon from states where taxes and business opportunities are prohibitive,” says Ratcliff.

With $214 million in closed transactions at the end of 2020, LUXE Christie’s set a new brokerage sales record, proving that market predictions were far from accurate. “The sheer volume of transactions by LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate brokers coupled with record sales prices and the low number of days on the market - some as low as 24 hours! - is a positive indicator for the region’s economy as a whole,” explains Ratcliff.

“Central Oregon is booming, and the Portland metro area is a solid market that will endure long-term. Looking toward 2021, all indicators point toward Oregon’s high-end real estate market remaining strong,” concludes Ratcliff.

LUXE Christie’s International presents

Nelle Nuvole, Italian for “In the Clouds,” is a this truly magical home nestled high in the Chehalem Mountains overlooking Oregon’s famed wine country. This spectacular residence has been thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted to create a home that is as functional as it is beautiful.

Located in a small gated community of seven homes, Nelle Nuvole is a 16 1/2-acre estate with a stunning 6,132 sq. ft home that masterfully blends modern design, rustic aesthetics and farmhouse practicality. While the home is certainly the centerpiece of the estate, it is far from being the only feature of the property. An acre of nine varieties of organically-grown lavender makes this a producing farm and the entire estate boasts Jory and Laurelwood soil, ideal for growing Chardonnay and Oregon’s famed Pinot Noir grapes.

This six-bedroom home has a stunning 2,500 sq. ft deck that captures 270-degree views of southerly vistas that captivate from sunrise to sunset. With the doors of the great room wide open, which is a luxury to be enjoyed at this perfect 800-ft elevation, the deck and indoor spaces become one harmonious living space.

While you may want to stay lounging on the deck all day, back inside, the splendors of the great room await. The open-concept living room, dining room and kitchen is a space where hand-planed, French-cut eastern white oak floorboards span from end to end and six gold-leafed chandeliers hang from the 19-ft high, beamed vaulted ceiling that has been painted sky blue to reflect the outdoors. At one end of the great room sits a grand fireplace that serves as a splendid focal point and on the other is the beautiful, handcrafted kitchen.

Painstaking measures were taken to create a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful. Distances and details were checked and double-checked to ensure the workflow would be just right and the space would be comfortable for multiple cooks to use at one time. The cabinets were custom made from French-cut eastern white oak and seamlessly blend storage with the cabinet-fronted, commercial-grade appliances. Eight-plus guests will enjoy sitting at the 15-ft island that houses the cooktop and serves as the entertaining hub of the room.

The master suite is a breathtaking space - one that rivals the great room in allure and functional sophistication. 91/2-foot tall, solid wood entry doors open to the suite where white oak floors flow through the bathroom and the walk-in closet and into the expansive bedroom where glass French doors lead to the deck and 10 large windows flood the room with light. The amazing views become the room’s artwork - continually changing with the seasons and the weather. At night, you’ll be hypnotized by the twinkling lights below and the stars above, and in the morning, you’ll enjoy the brilliant colors of the sunrise while staying cozy in your warm bed.

Nelle Nuvole is a place where you’ll live life to its fullest - enjoying time with family and friends, working and playing on the land and appreciating the natural beauty of the Willamette Valley.

Address: 305 NE Bell Rd, Newberg, OR 97132

Price sold: $2,500,000

The post Living The Good Life In The Clouds Above Oregon’s Wine Country By LUXE Christie’s International appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The beautiful Willamette River flows through some of Oregon’s loveliest cities and feeds the fertile Willamette Valley, the heart of Oregon’s wine country which is home to nearly 600 wineries. Along the shores of the river in the cities of West Linn, Wilsonville and Newberg, luxury estates abound, and residents take advantage of the outstanding amenities and cultural opportunities each community has to offer.

West Linn

West Linn is an affluent city of 25,000, centrally-located just minutes south of Portland. Located along the Willamette River, West Linn has been called the “city of hills, trees and rivers” and offers varied residential property options from upscale residences in the hills overlooking the river to luxury waterfront estates to vineyard acreage. “You’ll find an abundance of small-town charm in West Linn,” says Kendra Ratcliff, vice president and principal broker of LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate. With excellent schools, a quaint downtown, tree-lined streets, abundant parks, and recreational activities, West Linn is hailed as a superb, family-friendly community.

Wilsonville

Situated just south of Portland along the Willamette River is the city of Wilsonville. This community of 24,000 residents is perfectly located for those looking for a suburban or semi-rural lifestyle while having convenient access to downtown Portland and Portland International Airport. With excellent access to the river, residents enjoy boating, swimming and other water sports. “While the river is a big draw in Wilsonville,” Ratcliff says, “you are also able to find acreage properties with equestrian facilities, vineyards and luxury estates. It’s a diverse city that combines a great school system, parks, restaurants, and a thriving business community.”

Newberg

In the heart of Oregon’s wine country is Newberg, home to a vast array of award-winning vineyards and wineries as well as a historic downtown filled with restaurants, charming boutiques, art galleries, and a world-class cultural arts center. For water enthusiasts, through Newberg, the Willamette River is calm and quiet with little coves and beaches to stop and enjoy a swim or a picnic. “A wonderful thing about Newberg real estate is that you’ll find both extraordinary properties in the rolling hills among acres upon acres of vineyards and distinctive estates along the shore of the Willamette River,” explains Ratcliff. “Newberg is a quintessential wine country town. It has the feel of Napa or Sonoma but without the price tag!”
