Significant Sales: Volume IX, 2015
The latest volume of Significant Sales features top sales from the Sotheby’s International Realty network beginning with a European-inspired beachfront estate in Florida. Also featured is a historic residence in Colorado, a picturesque home in New York and more than twenty other properties.
Florida – “Castle by the Sea” draws inspiration from the natural beauty of the grounds and surrounding landscape. This beachfront European-inspired estate is located in an 11-home exclusive gated community. From the grand marble-paved porte-cochère, ascend the impressive four-story marble and stone staircase with amazing Gulf of Mexico views accessed from each level of this stately home. Palladian architecture, a handcrafted gourmet kitchen, wine cellar, alluring outdoor terraces, old-world craftsmanship and garage parking for five automobiles are among this residence’s offerings.
Colorado – The Red Onion building has been a central part of Aspen since 1892. This historic property is located in the heart of Aspen and is anchored by a restaurant bearing the same name. The location features the original bar from Aspen’s silver mining days. The building showcases unrivaled views towards Aspen Mountain and the ski area.
New York – Perhaps the most picturesque property in the estate section of Southampton Village, this stately residence, situated on approximately three-and-a-half private, graciously landscaped acres, epitomizes the most compelling aspects of Southampton life. The meticulous grounds present this elegant residence perfectly among the formal parterre gardens, hedged koi pond, spectacular Beech and Willow trees and expansive, majestic lawn.
New Mexico – The approximately 2,300-deeded acres of Jane Fonda’s Forked Lightning Ranch provide a diverse ecosystem of placid beauty. The Pecos River, one of the finest trout fisheries in the state, circuitously flows for about three and a half miles through the luxury Ranch creating an oasis for a variety of Rocky Mountain wildlife and a haven for anglers seeking healthy rainbow and brown trout. To float or wade its classic riffle run and pool water during June’s higher flows when the remarkable salmon-fly hatch explodes, provides one of fly fishing’s most rewarding experiences.
Massachusetts – This home is located in a highly coveted area and nestled on one of the highest points in the Cliff on Nantucket Island. There is deeded beach access to one of Nantucket’s most beautiful shorelines and also the ability for a mooring. Water views can be found from every room in the home which is situated on close to an acre.
