Field Trip to Ross!

July 2, 2009

We’re sure many of you are already breaking for a long weekend, so the time is ripe for a little field trip up north.  Get your parents to sign those permission slips so we can hop on the bus and head out!

Destination?  1 Upper Road in Ross.  Mission?  To scope out a new $17.5 million listing that three of our colleagues just listed.  This amazing estate features a mansion, five auxiliary buildings, a tennis court, swimming pool, pool cabana, redwood grove, spa facility, car barn, meandering nature trails, creek, and suspension bridge… sprawled out on 3 acres of Northern California paradise.

If you’re curious how the other half lives, or just appreciate fine real estate, you might get a kick out the website and photo galleries.  Want a tour in person?  It’s by private showing only, of course, so call us if it’s just what you’ve been looking for. (Sorry, couldn’t resist!)

A Fun Friday Field Trip

May 15, 2009

Who’s ready for a field trip?  We’ll be heading off to Marbella, Spain, located on the Mediterranean Sea and close to the Strait of Gibraltar.  Why?  Well, we hear the weather’s nice, the wine is tasty, and the homes are to die for…

Like this palatial Villa that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea.  You can even see Africa on a clear day.  Inspired by Roman architecture, this newly constructed masterpiece includes courtyards, fountains, a state-of-the-art cinema, indoor and outdoor pools, games room with bar, sauna, Bang & Olufsen stereo system throughout, spa, and a Roman pavilion.  The home is listed for 18,750,000 Euro, which is about $25,383,750 USD at today’s rate.

And what does this haute home look like?  Well here you go:

Real Estate Sublimation : Boring Box to Sparkling Gem

March 26, 2009

The ranch-style home.  It’s an American icon in many parts of the country.  The ranch is boxy, boring, and bland… that is, until we spotted this beaut in Healdsburg.  The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home shows what a little imagination can do to a simple architectural style and layout.  It shows incredibly well, and we’re taking ample notes on the decor and presentation.  Turning a box into a gem is not an easy task, so this one struck us as particularly noteworthy.  In real estate, creativity is king.  Enjoy the field trip to Healdsburg!

Click HERE for website.  Address:  460 Hidden Acres Road, Healdsburg, CA 95448. Asking price is $1,995,000.
