In every way possible this residence really is the True Ski Home, sitting at the top of Deer Valleys Silver Lake Village area in the very private gated Bald Eagle Club featuring views for many miles down valley, across the ski resorts and to the city lights.
The 14,000 square foot home was designed by top Park City architect Rick Otto as well as world-class architect Charles Gwathmey, and built by renowned hotel builder New Star Construction, a Dream Team for a build project of this magnitude. The interior decorations and art, included with the home for a turnkey purchase, were designed by Naomi Leff, who has designed some of Hollywood’s biggest stars and producers homes.
Entertaining is easy with a billiard room, game room, multiple living areas, resort-like ski room, indoor pool and spa and sauna, and caretakers quarters.
A rare combination of extreme security, privacy and ski-in- ski-out right into your own ski lounge.

Be A Curator Of Your Life
Luxury is to aspire for the best possible experience of the senses: soft to the touch, sweet to the smell, compelling to the sight. Those experiences enrich our life’s moments. And those enriching experiences can be captured in the space in which we live by strong interior design and the use of truly exquisite pieces of furniture. There is only one bed in which you sleep at a time, only one sofa on which we snuggle in with the family. By making those pieces truly quality items you add meaning: heritage, a pedigree, a story. Instead of disposable, mass-produced items you can have pride in ownership of a substantial piece.
Be a curator of your life’s collections and let them reflect who you are. Buy less but buy well. Remove fear from the equation by using the help of a trained eye for style and quality. A truly great piece of furniture can be transitioned into numerous looks through clever design. A collection of great pieces then can artistically translate into almost any setting, adding a unique and personal charm to the eclecticism of a space. This cuts down on the quantity of items needed and allows you to focus on the quality – the sensual experience – of the individual items. A designer has the knowledge and resources to provide exclusive options not generally available to the public. Along with custom bespoke options available, the end product has the potential to be a truly unique and exquisite addition to your collection by following the tenets of quality over quantity.
How proud you can be to share the charming history and the compelling aesthetic of a piece with your friends and family. Luxury is not pricing; it’s value. Enrich your life by exploring opportunities available in furnishing a home that uplifts the human spirit.

SPANISH COLONIAL HILLTOP HACIENDA
Casa Santuario, one of the most beautiful homes in Texas, is located on a rare, private and secluded 5+ acre property with views of Austin’s rolling hills and river. The 11,000-square-foot Spanish Colonial home, which includes five bedrooms, six full baths, two half baths and five fireplaces, was inspired by the missions of Texas and California and the early 20th century Spanish-style houses along the Pacific Coast. Central to the residence is a courtyard and gallery that provides a view through the house to the hills and river beyond. The result is a livable home that blends the casual lifestyle of Austin with the elegant glamour of California in the 1920s and 30s.
This is a home for those who value their privacy and security. It’s a gathering place for family, friends or groups, both large and small. Memories are made and celebrated here, whether it’s a backyard birthday party around the pool and cabana, a wedding on the lawn with the backdrop of a winding river and green rolling hills, or a charity event. With its large media and billiards rooms, it is a place to share holidays or family reunions, a place to come home to and want to stay.
This hilltop estate is minutes from the downtown business district, private and public schools, restaurants, shops, major medical facilities and all the conveniences Austin provides. The charming neighborhood is convenient for biking to work or school or driving downtown without wasting precious time in traffic.
The estate was designed by renowned architect Paul Lamb, AIA, of Austin and completed in 2003 after six years of planning and construction. Its extraordinary craftsmanship is evident throughout in details such as authentic plaster walls, terra cotta tile, custom-designed Longleaf pine wood floors and vintage copper chandeliers. It is a home of lasting quality that is both intimate and timeless.

WORK AND PLAY IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS
With its palm-fringed white sand beaches, crystal clear waters and verdant green hillsides stretching in every direction, it is easy to see why people might dismiss the island of St. John as just another world class vacation destination. However, in reality, the island, along with its neighbors St. Thomas, St. Croix and the numerous outlying cays of the U.S. Virgin Islands, is home to an increasing number of high net worth individuals relocating qualified businesses to participate in the territory’s Economic Development Commission (EDC) program – one of the region’s most attractive tax incentive programs.
A postcard-perfect natural landscape and friendly business climate aren’t the only reasons to consider a move to the U.S. Virgin Islands. The territory’s location at the northern-most portion of the Lesser Antilles island chain makes it accessible via private jet from most locations throughout the Americas and Europe. That means it’s possible to enjoy a power lunch in Manhattan followed by a sunset cruise in the U.S. Virgin Islands on the very same afternoon.
These world class properties pictured below are now for sale in this special corner of the Caribbean and each one comes with a lifestyle unlike any other.
