They were hosted by Haute Living and Haute Residence director Erik Haase. Watch the full webinar below.

Highlight quotes:

Carlo Habet: “We have a lot of people that come in to us based on our professionalism, one, but secondly, our response. We are trying to learn our client, understand what they really want, and then present the options that we really believe in. We also work very well with other agents. We have good relationships throughout the country. That is a big plus because essentially, it gives us access to everything in the country. If someone likes dealing with us, we can broker anything for them.”

Elisa Linton: “I am having fun learning and growing my business. Into 2021, we are still rocking and rolling, so the Houston market is still hot. It is still an active seller's market. Homes on the market are still low, inventory is still now, and, of course, interest rates, a big part, are still low. Both buyers and sellers are able to take advantage of this market and come out on top. My goal is to be there to assist with each transaction.”

Steve Nassar: “We have the Portland Real Estate Podcast. Our listener base is mostly professionals, other realtors, industry insiders. It is a tremendous credibility that I am the expert that other experts go to. I have a podcast listened to by other agents for the inside information on what is happening, what is working, and what is going on in real estate. Where it has been helpful for me with business is I am also a broker owner. I am one of the partners at Premiere Property Group. We are the biggest brokerage in Oregon, so it helps with recruiting as well.”

Vanessa Neumann-Andrews: “The number are phenomenal, and they are climbing as far as the agents, the offices, and the sales have been off the charts. They spend a good couple million dollars on digital marketing and print. With the ties to their auction house and their very elite clientele, we can market to them as well. It has been quite phenomenal: the tools, the instructors, the guidance, the leads, and the quality. They call it a white glove service that we have been known for and it is what people expect.”

Nancy Tallman: “It is a lower cost of living here. We do not have homeless people. We do not have crime. We do not have any of the negatives of big city life, but we have culture, arts, great food, all the positives, so it is attracting a lot of people. Our golf course communities had the highest increase of sales in our entire market. People move there full time. They move their families there. They are interested in getting away from the stress of city life.”

Oprah Winfrey

In 2018, Oprah Winfrey purchased a scenic waterfront estate located in rural Orcas Island off the coast of Seattle. The real estate deal cost $8.3 million and was executed through an entity linked to her network. The media magnate reportedly purchased the property without visiting the home in person. After three years of ownership, the television host has decided to bid farewell to her island home as she reportedly lacks the time to maximize its usage. Recorded on Tuesday, Winfrey has officially sold her waterfront residence for $14 million in an off-market deal. Jen Cameron, vice president of Coldwell Banker Bain’s global luxury division, represented the buyer in the deal who is listed under the title of Lophodytes LLC. The billionaire public figure currently resides at her self-proclaimed Promised Land, a 70-acre ranch property located in Montecito, California. With an impressive real estate portfolio, Winfrey also owns homes in Telluride, Colorado and Maui, Hawaii.

Madroneagle Estate on Orcas Island spans 40 acres of lush landscape and features a 7,303-square-foot main house with four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Decorative elements of the home consist of an eccentric copper and slate roof on the exterior and a luxuriously rustic cabin interior with finishes of rare, reclaimed wood. The picturesque property is perfect for entertaining as it offers a spacious living area with stone fireplace, kitchen with oversized center island and built-in pizza oven, and adjacent dining room. Other highlights of the reserved residence include a cozy library nook with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, game room, home office, wine cellar, and tasting room. Elsewhere on the estate rests a guesthouse located on a high cliff overlooking the private beach. With 2,948 square-feet, the guest space presents four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The exterior grounds of the island property highlight a sauna, pond, garden, hiking trails, and stream. The scenic estate comprises of two waterfront parcels and 3,000 feet of west-facing shoreline for spectacular sunset views.

Frank Sinatra

Photo Credit: ShutterStock

In 1967, Frank Sinatra purchased the Palm Desert estate and completed transforming the property into his home by 1970. Named after his character in From Here to Eternity, Sinatra’s mountain retreat became a generous space for relaxation and entertainment. The quintessential American singer spent 14 years in the home with his fourth wife, Barbara, before it was donated to Loyola Marymount University, then sold to a private buyer. In the years following, the opulent property has been on and off the market but was recently relisted for $4.25 million as listing agent Markus Canter of Berkshire Hathaway claims, “the property and the market are now in alignment.” Traveling from Washington, Texas, New Jersey, England, and Italy, prospective buyers are elated to view the renowned estate. The luxurious property offers scenic views, plentiful outdoor space, and a home that evokes the feel of a summer vacation.

Sinatra’s Villa Maggio spans 7.5 acres of picturesque land and includes nine bedrooms and 12.5 bathrooms. The property consists of a five-bedroom main house, three-bedroom guesthouse, and one-bedroom pool house. Many of the bedrooms are luxurious guest suites featuring their own bathrooms, fireplaces, balconies, or adjacent decks. The home’s restaurant quality kitchen is equipped with an island and three stainless-steel refrigerators. Decorative elements of the home consist of locally sourced wood, stone, and other natural materials. The property can be accessed via car as there is ample capacity to park over 20 automobiles, but the exterior space also offers a helipad. Perched above the Coachella Valley, its sunny location is perfect for enjoying the outdoors with hiking access to the National Forest trails, a resort-style pool for lounging, and a professional-grade tennis court. Other perks of the lavish estate include an art studio, office, library, media room, home theater, gym, and lounge with custom bar.

Here, she discusses legacy properties in Washington.

How would you describe a “legacy property”?

Legacy properties are those that offer owners luxury, privacy, security, and most of all, a comfortable place for your family to call home. Legacy properties provide space to spread out and often have acreage or views. These estates include amenities like pools, sports courts, fitness centers, and home offices and are designed to be passed down from generation to generation.

Why would a buyer want to purchase a legacy property in Washington?

When you think of Washington State, images of Seattle may come to mind; however, Washington is a state abundant with natural beauty from east to west. You’ll find coastal beaches, quaint islands in the Puget Sound, a cosmopolitan mecca in Seattle, world-class vineyards in the central region, and mountains and crystal-clear lakes throughout. If you’re interested in a ranch, penthouse, vineyard, or island retreat, you can find it in Washington.

While the landscape is certainly a draw, Washington also has a thriving economy that boasts the likes of international companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, Boeing, and a host of high tech, communications and health care leaders. There is no state corporate or income tax, and Washington ranked #2 in U.S. News & World Report’s “10 Best States for Business” in 2021, crediting Washington with the country’s third-highest patent creation rate and fifth-highest amount of venture capital investment.

What are some examples of legacy properties available in Washington?

10000 NE Kitsap St Bainbridge Island, WA 98110 - On Bainbridge Island, just across Elliott Bay in Puget Sound from Seattle, is a very special 10-acre property that was 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. Considered one of the most historical properties on the West Coast, this one-of-a-kind residence has been transformed into a timeless island estate that has retained its historic appeal. Classic design and modern amenities fill the 12,018 sq. ft. home that is the epitome of luxury, style and privacy. 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 in this legacy property that is being offered for $8,750,000.

1920 4th Avenue #3102, Seattle, WA  98101 - Not all legacy properties need to be on acreage to have amazing views and amenities. The penthouse in Escala, one of Seattle’s most exclusive condominium towers, offers 4,522 sq. feet of luxury and has arguably the best views in the city - water, city and mountain! Escala’s exceptional amenities including a private club, full-service gym, theater, and restaurants. The three-bedroom penthouse takes advantage of its superior location with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout and three incredible terraces to enjoy the breathtaking vistas. The level of stonework, woodwork and cabinetry found throughout is also second to none. On the market for $7,200,000, this property is a standout among luxury estates in Washington.

Wax Orchard Road, Vashon Island, OR - For buyers looking to design and build their perfect, forever home, a rare 88-acre parcel of residential land on Vashon Island may be an irresistible location. With approximately 190 feet of waterfront and abundant wooded acreage, this property is a unique opportunity to live on one of the Puget Sound’s most sought-after islands. Residents of Vashon Island enjoy a rural island lifestyle with artists’ communities, organic farms, equestrian estates, ranches, and more. This property, which includes five contiguous parcels, is available for $4,700,000.

When buying or selling a Legacy Property, what should a client look for in a broker? 

Those who seek high-end, luxury homes need to look for a broker who can be a strong liaison and advocate for them. This means having superior research and negotiation skills as well as connections to impeccable properties that may or may not be currently on the market.

As COO and designated broker of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle in Washington and VP and principal broker for LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate in Oregon, I am a corporate liaison and trusted advisor for buyers and sellers around the globe. Christie’s unparalleled marketing channels allow me to reach a global audience of high-net-worth individuals when selling estates and gives me access to the most extraordinary homes when representing buyers.

I’m also proud to be a member of several prestigious global real estate marketing organizations and am a member of Christie’s International Real Estate’s elite Masters Circle. My affiliations with these powerhouse organizations allow me to connect with other brokers in the United States and abroad, garnering interest in and private viewings for my clients’ homes and connecting clients with outstanding brokers when they are relocating to new areas.

Legacy estates, especially those over $5 million, represent a niche in the market that requires an extra level of industry knowledge and expertise. Often, $5+ million properties involve more than just the sale of a home. Additional considerations, such as significant acreage, sale of a business, water rights, tax implications, or foreign investments, may come into play during a transaction. With nearly 30 years of experience working with many of the region’s most prestigious real estate firms, I understand the nuances of these multi-million dollar properties and can expertly navigate my clients through the negotiations to a successful conclusion.

Haute Residence: What tech tools do you use today that you did not use so much in the past?

Terry Sprague: I call them “relationship tools” as technology is only a small part of what I use. The umbrella of these tools is really my relationship with Christie’s International Real Estate. Christie’s opens the door to local, national and international clients who are looking to move into my market. It’s my way of “getting into the jet before it lands” - reaching potential clients early, before they even arrive in town.

The next level of “tools” are my personal contacts. Many brokers use CRM [customer relationship management] tools, but I use pen and paper. Old school, yes, but it works for me. Every day, I look through my contacts and choose two or three people to call. I don’t call them to talk business. These are people I consider friends, and I want to keep a personal connection going. This is my way of staying relevant in their lives. I know that just staying in contact with clients has high ROI.

After utilizing personal contacts comes social media. Years ago, when social media was first introduced, I was skeptical about using it. I reluctantly began using it until I was in London at a meeting and a lady introduced herself and told me that she knew me through social media. That’s when I realized its power. To this day, I use it in an authentic way. I personally do all my own posts - despite my wife scolding me about my grammar. I believe this authenticity conveys what I do, who I am, and that I’m approachable. I don’t post to find clients. I do it for relevance and to stay top of mind.

I also use major affiliations to my advantage. I am Oregon’s exclusive agent for SportStar Relocation, a concierge-based real estate and relocation company that offers professional athletes, entertainers and executives a wide range of relocation services. LUXE Christie’s is Haute Residence’s exclusive Oregon partner, and I’m a member of Realm, an invitation-only collaborative of international brokers.

HR: What has been the #1 selling point of your area in the last 20 years?

TS: I have had the benefit of living all over the world. I moved to Lake Oswego, Oregon, because of family responsibilities but stayed because I became a father here and love and appreciate everything the area has to offer.

It would be hard to point to just one top selling point of Lake Oswego. It’s a community with great schools, excellent outdoor activities and natural beauty with Oswego Lake and the Willamette River. Access to all your daily business is five minutes away, plus you’re only ten or fifteen minutes from downtown Portland.

HR: How are prices in your area compared to this time last year?

TS: Prices in Clackamas County, where Lake Oswego and West Linn are located, are 10-15% higher than last year. The reason is simple supply and demand. There is an increase in buyers moving to Lake Oswego, and we are short on inventory.

Buyers are looking in the area because of the “vacation at home” properties we have here. Acreage, a pool, gyms, and home offices are in high demand. Those are normal parts of the inventory in Lake Oswego and West Linn. The tax structure in Clackamas County is also more conservative than in surrounding counties, making it an attractive area to live.

I predict if interest rates remain low, prices will rise another 5-10% in 2021.

HR: What is your favorite way to network with other professionals in the real estate industry?

TS: Historically, Christie’s International Real Estate has gathered global leaders - art consultants, bankers, investment advisors, and the like - to educate them on the state of luxury real estate. Unfortunately, those events were shut down in the past year.

I’ve turned my attention to more direct communication with other high-end brokers to discuss each other’ s haves and wants. I feel that cooperation is one of the most important aspects of networking. It’s important to make others feel valued as there is no “algorithm” for creating true relationships. I want brokers at all levels to feel respected, comfortable and welcome.

Terry Sprague

In addition to my direct contact networking, over the past year, I’ve been a panelist on many webinars and Zoom calls that feature market leaders - today’s version of in-person symposiums and conferences.

Terry Sprague is the owner and founder of LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate as well as a co-founder of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle. As an individual broker, he had $100 million in sales in 2020 and consistently ranks in the top 1% of all brokers in Oregon.

Transformed from a shipyard into a sophisticated neighborhood, the South Waterfront is now home to a dozen of Portland’s newest luxury condominium and apartment buildings. “The luxe high-rises in the South Waterfront offer a variety of residences from studios to penthouses,” explains Brad Golik, a broker with LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate who specializes in the area. “While there are many buildings and sizes of home to choose from, the common theme amongst them all is modern luxury.”

High-end finishes like hardwood floors, professional-grade appliances, stone and tile, shimmering glass facades, views of the river, mountains and city, and on-site services such as 24-hour concierges are just a few of the distinctive details and amenities that are found in many of the South Waterfront residences. “South Waterfront developments are comparable in size and style to those in the renowned Pearl District,” Golik says. “This has made the area incredibly popular with my clients who have refined tastes, want easy access to the city, and also want waterfront living - which the Pearl does not offer.”

Located just south of downtown, the South Waterfront is a walkable neighborhood that is a superb choice for those seeking an active, urban lifestyle. Spanning the length of the neighborhood, South Waterfront Greenway is a 4-acre linear park along the Willamette River, perfect for walking, running and biking. Tilikum Crossing, a bridge exclusively for pedestrians, bicycles and light rail, sits at the northern edge of the neighborhood and connects the South Waterfront to the city’s hip east side, and the Portland Streetcar runs through the neighborhood and loops around the city making it fast and easy to get to the Moda Center, the Pearl District, downtown, and everywhere in-between.

The South Waterfront District is also home to Portland’s landmark aerial tram. Linking Oregon Health & Science University’s (OHSU) waterfront campus to its hospitals on Marquam Hill, the tram is a unique mode of transportation for patients and employees of OHSU, Portland’s largest employer, as well as for area visitors seeking an unparalleled view of the city and Mt. Hood.

“Luxury towers such as The John Ross and Atwater Place are also ‘green’ buildings with LEED-certification,” continues Golik. “It’s an important distinction that many eco-conscious buyers are looking for. Energy efficiency, water conservation and even rooftop gardens are on the list of must-haves these days.”

As Portland’s newest neighborhood, the South Waterfront District was designed as an urban enclave that offers the best in residential and commercial opportunities. Towering high-rises with restaurants and shops at street-level and luxury accommodations above create a landscape where residents enjoy a rich, metropolitan lifestyle.

This was especially true for the luxury real estate market. In January, the real estate market in Washington, and particularly in the Seattle metro area, was strong with high demand, high volume of sales and high prices. In March when COVID-19 hit and brokers were urged to restrict in-person home tours, the Washington real estate market remained strong as new Northwest MLS listings for the month outpaced February. By April, the market had slowed down with fewer year-over-year listings, but, surprisingly, prices were up nearly 6.4 percent.

“Many industry veterans predicted severe declines,” says Kendra Ratcliff, co-founder and COO of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle. “But what we experienced was quite the opposite in the high-end luxury market. The Seattle market took a brief break, but we bounced back much quicker than expected.”

It was imperative for brokers to adjust to the new selling environment. Christie’s Seattle brokers took the challenge in stride, using technology to create new ways for buyers to safely view homes using live virtual tours and videos, connecting with clients using Zoom meetings, and replacing in-person networking with social media. “Coupled with Christie’s already outstanding marketing programs, these new marketing tools worked well to reach buyers,” explains Ratcliff. “We quickly reinvented how we conducted business, and it was a success.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

By May, Christie’s Seattle sales of high-end properties in Washington were returning. “Many buyers began looking for property outside the downtown Seattle area - properties where their families could spread out,” Ratcliff says. “However, we also saw many clients interested in downtown high-rise living where services and amenities were at their fingertips.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

Late summer and fall saw a resurgence of activity. Three residences within Seattle’s Four Seasons Private Residences, all of which Christie’s Seattle’s Executive Vice President and Co-Founder Scott Wasner represented and Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle served as the dual agency, captured the highest sales prices - a combined $24.7 million - achieved in Downtown Seattle in 2020. Remarkably, Wasner represented and sold one of these residences in July 2019 at the exact sales price as this most recent sale, $9.2 million. This stability in the market is excellent news for the region’s high-end market.

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

“The technology, digital media and e-commerce companies based in the region remained stable, and even flourished,” Ratcliff says. “This was a tremendous benefit for the area’s economy. We also benefitted from an influx of out-of-state, high-net-worth buyers coming to Washington looking to take advantage of the state’s favorable tax structure and business-friendly environment.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

At the beginning of December, a stunning 21 percent of the homes listed in the Northwest MLS were priced at $1 million or higher. “We’ve definitely beat the odds in 2020,” concludes Ratcliff. “While it is impossible to predict what 2021 will bring, our confidence is high that Washington’s high-end real estate market will continue to remain strong.”

From the moment you arrive at the soaring timbered entrance and pass through the private gates, it’s clear that Tanager stands out among Central Oregon’s most desirable boutique, waterfront residential communities.

Tanager’s 182 acres is a beautiful collection of distinctive, natural landscapes. Many features of Central Oregon’s high desert - forests, meadows, canyons, cliffs and rivers - converge here, creating a property that is unlike any other.

Each Tanager’s 21 homesites is between 1.32-10 acres in size and boasts frontage along one of the development’s three water features - a regulation-size waterski lake, a recreational lake and gorgeous Tumalo Creek. “This unique community is all about taking advantage of the outdoors - and especially the water,” says Tab Howard, LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate’s Luxury Estate Specialist in Bend, Oregon. “Tanager’s developers have designed an extraordinary, private sanctuary for those looking for the luxury living in a secluded setting.”

Photo Credit: LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate

With two private lakes and frontage to one of the area’s most beautiful rivers, Tumalo Creek, Tanager offers incredible opportunities for those looking for an exclusive waterfront lifestyle. The premier waterski and wakeboard lake is 2,100 feet long and features a turnaround island, boat harbor with a dock and mooring slips, a beach with sand imported from the Oregon coast, and a picnic area with a shelter, restroom and shower. The recreational lake, which is exclusively for non-motorized activities, is 8-acres in size and perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking. It is stocked with fish and has a dock from which to fish or launch small watercraft.

In addition to the community's two signature lakes, Tanager sits along nearly three-quarters of a mile of Tumalo Creek. A tributary to the Deschutes River, the creek is a natural beauty with waterfalls, rapids and picturesque rimrock cliffs.

“Tanager residents will truly enjoy Central Oregon’s changing landscape year-round,” Howard remarks. “Though nature plays a huge part of the appeal of this exclusive waterfront development, it’s also just minutes from Bend and all of its outstanding shopping, schools, and amenities.”

In October, Bend was named as the second fastest-growing city by personal finance website WalletHub based on population, job growth and growth in the number of business in the area. Not surprising to residents and visitors, Bend is also consistently hailed as one of the most livable cities in the country.

“Tanager is a unique haven for those who not only seek privacy and seclusion but want to enjoy the region’s best year-round outdoor recreation while staying close to one of Oregon’s top cities,” says Howard. “The number of homesites are limited so It’s an incredible opportunity that won’t last long.”

As buyers across the country seek properties where they can weather the COVID-19 storm, those with long-term plans for city living have found such residences in Seattle’s luxury high-rise condominiums. Full-service buildings offer privacy, safety, seclusion, and incomparable amenities, giving residents the capability to escape the city, while still being in the city.

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

“Buyers are still committed to the downtown core,” says Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate, Seattle. “I’ve been a luxury broker in Seattle for a number of years, and I remain confident in the overall long-term well-being of the region. Seattle has a lot to offer with its diversified business sectors and tax advantages - plus the city is regaining its vibrancy with the re-opening of restaurants, galleries and other establishments.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

That confidence is evidenced in both the expedient pace of transactions and prices of recent sales. Residence #1202 unit of Four Seasons, located at 99 Union Street, Seattle, went pending after only two days on the market. This 4,293 sq. foot residence has a near-record price-per-square-foot of $2,143, surpassed only by a Four Seasons penthouse sold by Wasner in late 2019. Remarkably, in July 2019, Wasner represented and sold the #1202 residence at the exact same price as this most recent sale. “It’s incredible to see the price remain the same,” explains Wasner. “This stability is extremely good news for high-end condominiums.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

Four Seasons #1502 residence, owned by the late Virginia Wright who was a philanthropist and significant art collector, closed for an impressive $9.5 million on October 16, 2020 after being on the market for only four months. This is just below Downtown Seattle’s record sale of $10.6 million, a penthouse also represented by Wasner which closed nearly a year ago.

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

The Virginia Wright residence is also a wonderful example of how Christie’s many facets work together as a seamless team. “Working in tandem with Ellanor Roberts Notides, Christie’s auction house’s esteemed West Coast chairman, was an incredible advantage. Ms. Notides oversees private art collections for high-profile clients, and the joint marketing effort between the auction house and our real estate brokerage on behalf of the Wright family was unparalleled,” says Wasner. “The Wright family was very pleased with the sale price of the home, how quickly it sold and closed and the extraordinary collaboration we had with the auction house.”

Luxury units sized 4,000+ sq. foot, large by Seattle standards, are becoming scarce in the downtown core as well. Escala, built in 2010 and located at 1920 Fourth Avenue, has two of the last remaining newly constructed penthouses in the Seattle luxury condominium market. Listed at $7,695,000 and $7,650,000, the two 4,500+ sq. foot Escala penthouses represented by Wasner and Christie’s International Real Estate, Seattle are rare opportunities for buyers interested in new construction. “These types of luxury buildings are just not being built in Seattle anymore,” says Wasner. “If a buyer is seeking a recently completed residence of this scale, these Escala units are their last opportunity.”

“You could sit back and wait for the election to be over or the pandemic to have a cure or you can live life!” professes Wasner, who also lives in downtown Seattle. “The world keeps turning, and people keep seeing and seizing opportunities as they arise!”

How did the third quarter of 2020 real estate perform in Seattle and Pacific Northwest region?

As buyer’s and seller’s road maps shift, we are seeing signs of new eyes on Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. Demand has increased exponentially for homes on larger in-city lots, homes with privacy and acreage, homes with pools or the ability to install a pool, waterfront homes, island getaways (as primary residences), country estates and ranches.

How has your market been doing so far this year compared to this time last year?

With a surge in buyer activity coming out of California we are experiencing a significantly stronger market and seeing much higher demand than a year ago.

Photo Credit: Tim Van Asselt

Do you expect a more or less active 4th quarter for this year than previous years?

Our fourth-quarter sales continue with robust activity with an influx of buyers who can work remotely. With no state income tax in Washington, Californians see an increased income of 13% or more. Additionally, we have always been a destination for those individuals about to experience a significant financial event.

Oregon is the third largest viniferous grape-producing state in the United States, with more than 700 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards growing 72 grape varietals. From the Columbia River Gorge to the Willamette Valley and Southern Oregon, the state offers a superior opportunity to fulfill your oenophile dreams. The state boasts exceptional terroir for growing diverse number of cool-climate varietals, and there are 18 district AVAs in the state to consider when looking to purchase vineyard property.

“Oregon’s wine-growing regions are now more than 50 years old and have drawn international acclaim for the vast varieties and quality of wine produced,” explains Kendra Ratcliff, vice president and principal broker of LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate. “Having said that, the vibrant Oregon winemaking community has retained its handcrafted, artisan approach to agriculture and viticulture. Even though Oregon is the third largest wine grape-producing state, most wineries, in fact, have remained small and produce fewer than 5,000 cases a year.”

Vineyard estates, however, are not the only luxury acreage properties you’ll find in Oregon. There is an exceptional number of equestrian properties, or those with equestrian potential, available in the state. Whether your dream is a high performance training facility, horse farm, sporting or event estate, or simply a property to enjoy horseback riding, you’ll find a fine collection of properties available that are dedicated to the art of horsemanship. More than merely horse farms, these distinctive properties feature exquisite homes, state-of-the-art facilities, and the chance to live your dream.

Red Lily Vineyards in Jacksonville, Oregon, the heart of Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley AVA, is a perfect example of a property that is suited for either, or both, wine or horses.

This turn-key operation is ideal for a buyer who is ready to jump right into a wine country or equestrian lifestyle.

The private estate located on top of Pete’s Mountain has 14.4 acres of 20-year-old Pinot Noir vines and is surrounded by the prestigious Oregon Golf Club. A magnificent 2-acre building site set in the middle of the vineyard, with breath-taking views of Mt. Hood, is perfect for building a dream home or equestrian facilities.

According to Terry Sprague, owner and founder of LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate, the exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate for Oregon and Washington, the bedroom communities of West Linn, Lake Oswego, and Portland’s Dunthorpe neighborhood are areas affluent buyers are flocking to in recent days. “These locales have true lifestyle properties,” says Sprague. “Buyers are seeking estates where they can now live, play and work. People are embracing properties that you might say have their own sense of community.”

Photo Credit: LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate

“People really are ‘living’ at home more these days,” explains Sprague. “Pre-COVID, our buyers were working in downtown offices, playing at country clubs and dining out. Post-COVID, they are reintroducing these activities at home and looking for properties that can accommodate them.” Property estates with room and flexibility are invaluable now as buyers want usable space inside for working, entertainment and homeschooling and outside space for activities like swimming, gardening, sports, and relaxation.

Photo Credit: LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate

Spacious homes on large, private lots can be found throughout Dunthorpe, West Linn and Lake Oswego making these communities attractive to new “safe haven” buyers. In addition, the cities of West Linn and Lake Oswego have done an excellent job at addressing the needs of its residents and adapting to the post-COVID world. Local businesses have embraced a new style of commerce, the top-rated school districts have developed programs aimed at keeping students engaged and prospering during the upcoming school year, and the cities have been upgrading their technology to meet the increased demand by residents.

When COVID hit the United States this spring, the assumption was that the housing market would slump; however, Sprague has seen quite the opposite trend. “I’ve seen an uptick in out-of-state buyers looking for property in Oregon,” says Sprague. “Buyers have sped up their plans and are moving very quickly. I have been selling multi-million dollar homes at a record pace.”

The post Luxury Homes Provide Flexibility For A New Way Of Living, By LUXE Christie’s International appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

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.
