Daufuskie Island offers Southern charm and comfort that can only be found on an island with no bridges. Accessible by a 30-minute ferry ride, my journey to the Haig Point community began and ended with relaxation. Catching a glimpse of diving dolphins as I left the mainland behind was a warm welcome into the exclusive area. The sea island just off the coast of South Carolina, which is easily accessible from Savannah, is one that wholeheartedly embraces the easy pace of the Lowcountry.

“As soon as people step off the ferry they
typically fall in love with the island lifestyle,” says Lauren Hunt, the programming and communications manager at the private, member-owned Haig Point. “Their genuine commitment to the island is why they choose to build and live here.” Members welcomed me with open arms and shared the island’s charming attributes, all with similar stories of visiting and deciding to stay for the long haul. 

If the 29-hole Rees Jones golf course, equestrian center, award-winning tennis facility, and beach club don’t entice you, the real estate will. It ranges in size and price, creating a diverse community with something to offer everyone. Haig Point goes beyond vacation and second homes. Permanent residents are enjoying the influx of younger residents. “More families under age 55 joined in the past three years than the previous 10 combined,” says Hunt. An island destination with no traffic — the island runs on electric golf carts — is an ideal opportunity for those hoping to enjoy a smaller, safer environment for their families.

Homesites for building your dream home and a collection of existing properties make up the variety of real estate within the current 270-home development. On the market for $2.995 million, 3 Ocean Watch in Haig Point was designed and built to the highest standards with stunning heart pine and woodwork soured from a 200-year-old house. Other properties range in price from the mid $300,000s to $3 million.

The island won’t be threatened by commercialization or overcrowding, due to building restrictions, according to Hunt. The community’s Architectural Review Board ensures the nature and integrity of the island remain intact alongside development. Across the water, Hilton Head Island is visible. “Hilton Head Island has 2 million visitors annually. That means easy accessibility to great restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. And with only an eight-minute commute, our hourly water taxi makes it easy to escape back to the solitude of Haig Point,” says Hunt.

3 Ocean Watch offers Calibogue Sound views.

Enjoy uncrowded, pristine beaches.

Haig Point offers a private Equestrian Center.

Whether it’s due to the sound of waves crashing on the shore, views of the sun setting on the open water or the scent of the fresh, crisp waterfront air, homes along the water never seem to go out of style. From coast to coast, high-end buyers are in the market for luxury waterfront properties — from teardown properties with coveted views of the California coastline to luxurious estates overlooking Lake Burton.

By Alyssa Gautieri

Northern New Jersey

From lakefront to beachfront, New Jersey has a selection of luxury, waterfront properties on the market. Focused on the properties along the northern lakes, Lynn Brescia of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage finds that high-end buyers now want more than just great waterfront views and a luxurious standard of living.

 

Often year-round homeowners, “buyers are looking for areas that allow for outside water activities and local communities that promote social activity,” she says.

While average prices range between $1 million and $2 million, there are also indulgences such as a $14 million-dollar property in Greenwood Lake, New York. Brescia notes that “homes between $1 million and $1.6 million seem to be in the highest demand.” She adds, “The demographics are often locals between the 40-50 age range with children still at home.”

 

While northern New Jersey often attracts local buyers, “there are some out-of-state buyers, more from New York City, who are considering a move to a waterfront home,” Brescia notes.

Lake Burton, Georgia

Popular among second-home buyers, Julie Barnett of Harry Norman, REALTORS asserts that the beauty of Lake Burton makes it the perfect destination for a vacation home. “Lake Burton is the prettiest lake in the Southeast and only an hour and half from Atlanta, Greenville and Ashville,” she notes.

 

Many buyers come from Atlanta, however Barnett has also noticed a trend of young people investing in lakefront property.

 

While the most expensive waterfront listing in Lake Burton is currently $5.9 million, waterfront homes around $1 million are attracting many potential buyers. Most often a small fishing cabin, teardown properties under $1 million are often purchased due to prime location. For a home priced between $1 million and $2 million, buyers may find a space that needs many upgrades. According to Barnett, a move-in ready home is more likely available in the $3 million-plus price range.

 

While waterfront inventory has gotten lower in recent years, the new year has brought more activity to the Lake Burton area. Barnett notes, “in the first quarter of 2018, we had three times the number of sales that we had the first quarter of 2017.”

Tampa Bay, Florida

Due to recent growth and the new construction of luxury hotels on Clearwater Beach, high-end buyers are being drawn to the Tampa Bay area, according to Martha Thorn of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate.

 

Both local and out-of-state buyers are in search of new-construction, waterfront properties — particularly focused on homes built above the floodplain. “If we are talking about trends in the luxury market — any property over $1 million, it is very slow unless it is a gulf-front property,” says Thorn, who has noticed waterfront properties selling faster this year.

 

“There are plenty of luxury homes in our area to sustain the market,” she adds. “As far as up-and-coming areas, anything in South Tampa and near downtown St. Petersburg is selling like hotcakes.”

 

Recently selling for $7.2 million, a gulf-front home on Redington Beach in Pinellas County is among the highest waterfront sales in the area. Belleair Shore, a beachfront community, is also one of the highest priced areas with prices ranging from $3.5 million to $6.7 million.

Savannah, Georgia

From homes bordering tidal creeks and deep-water creeks to beachfront homes on the Atlantic Ocean, Savannah embodies a unique waterfront market.

 

Richard Mopper of Engel & Völkers Savannah notes that “the Savannah market has seen a sharp price correction and values are on an upward swing.” He adds, “waterfront properties, due to scarcity, are rising quicker than the rest of the market,” with waterfront properties ranging anywhere from $800,000 to $14 million in Savannah.

 

Savannah has a limited number of luxury waterfront homes, which makes it difficult to sustain buyers’ needs. With competition tough in Savannah, the market is making room for new up-and-coming areas. “There are exceptional opportunities for waterfront properties south of Savannah in the quaint areas of Bryan, Liberty and McIntosh Counties — where currently there is an exceptional selection of quality waterfront homes and lots,” Mopper says.

 

According to Mopper, the buyers include locals in an upward spiral as well as people from all over the globe. “The mystique of Savannah has made the community internationally known with people interested in second and third homes,” he says.

Palos Verdes, California

We have a saying in California, ‘you’re either waterfront or you’re not,” says Megan M. Neel of RE/MAX Estate Properties, who mentions that desirability for waterfront properties is growing in California and hence, so are the prices.

 

Located in Palos Verdes Estates, Neel has a waterfront property currently listed at $23.888 million — a price that is significantly above other waterfront properties in the area, with the most recent highest-priced waterfront property selling for $16 million.

“This property is on the higher end of the spectrum,” notes Neel, who finds that most waterfront homes are teardown properties starting in the $6 million to $7 million range. “There are so many people that would love to live on the ocean, but affordability is often a factor,” she adds.

 

With many properties being purchased for the land and location, water views become an important factor for buyers. “In this area, the most coveted views are ones that include the coastline not just the horizon,” Neel says.

King County and the Greater Puget Sound, Washington

Attracting a diverse audience — with about 50 percent being locals and 50 percent coming from out of state and other countries — the waterfront market is booming in Washington. According to Kelli Langford of Keller Williams Realty, “prime waterfront properties with acreage and views are going quick. They are not sitting on the market long.”

 

With King County’s Lake Samamish, and Pierce County’s Lake Tapps on the map as up-and-coming areas, Langford believes there are enough luxury, waterfront homes on the market to sustain buyers’ needs. “Washington offers many wonderful lake and waterfront homes in King County and the Puget Sound,” she says. “With patience, perseverance and the right Realtor, buyers should be able to find the waterfront home of their dreams.”

 

Currently, the most expensive waterfront property is located in Bellevue with a listing price of $45 million. Another prominent listing is in Lake Tapps, which is priced at $4.3 million.

As the president of a firm that has developed more than $1.3 billion of property on the Cayman Islands, Jackie Doak has been instrumental in the region’s progress.

By Kelly Potts

 

Jackie Doak traveled what she calls a “very wandering path” that led to her becoming the President of Dart Real Estate, a Cayman Islands investment, development and management company. Doak has been with the company since its flagship development, Camana Bay — a 650-acre commercial and residential master-planned New Urbanist town — and has helped the company break barriers on the island ever since.

What are some major developments you’ve worked on with Dart Real Estate?

I worked on Camana Bay from its teaser, to announcing that it was open, to now celebrating our 10-year anniversary. Building a town in itself was a great experience, but hospitality and the way people feel is part of my DNA. I was part of the creative, collaborative design team of Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa, and I also had the benefit of working on the Cayman Islands Yacht Club, which we acquired in 2011.

What was the design process like for Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa?

Kimpton was the first new resort in the Grand Cayman in 10 years; we’d been fairly static as a tourist destination since 2005. We acquired the land that Kimpton is on in 2011 and spent a year master-planning going up five additional stories on the existing structures and adding additional buildings on the site. Although there was value in building up, we realized that if we demolished the hotel and started fresh, we’d have a much better product. We’re very proud of the decisions we’ve made and innovation is one of our values. Interior Designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard has the perfect personality for the residences at Seafire, which will be finished later this year for occupancy.

What do you hope that guests or residents of your developments will experience during their stay?

When I travel with my family, I come back with moments that really resound with me. And that, to me, is what I would like our visitors or customers to take away — meaningful moments that impact their life. It’s great to come to Camana Bay and buy a beautiful dress, but it’s more impactful where you went in that dress and what you experienced. We also want to create and capitalize on the infrastructure of the Cayman Islands. We surprise and delight many who come here for business, and we want to supplement that.

Location photos courtesy Camana Bay

Can you tell me about the placemaking approach used in your projects?

We really say that greater than the sum of our parts is our design excellence. If you don’t think about the experience of your customers or clients as they move through a property, as they park their car or as they walk around, you can be very functional, but not successful in making an impact. We focus on places that inspire you to live your best life. We take into consideration where the breeze comes from, how the sun moves over the property and how landscaping and water and shading will cool areas. We strive to make a place as inspiring as we can to promote health, activity and wellbeing.

Does Dart Real Estate have any exciting plans or projects coming up?

We recently completed a three-day workshop for Camana Bay in regards to a new commercial office building, a supermarket and doubling the capacity of the school. We’re going to have a very busy development cycle over the next few years, as we are also working on a 5-star resort in the Cayman Islands, where we have the opportunity to create multi-generational experiences including things like a lazy river and slide, kayaking, ziplining and a museum. We’re also talking about Phase Two of the Kimpton Residences, with 17 of 62 residences already pre-sold. The sales velocity has been very rapid, so we’re looking at creating an additional tower of residences at Kimpton Seafire.

What is your favorite aspect of being President of Dart Real Estate?

It’s great being president of an amazing company, but I was also the first female president of Dart. No day is the same and that’s what thrills me about working with this company. We have a very diverse group of individuals with many different life and education experiences, and we have a visionary and amazing shareholder in Mr. Dart. Being able to be a part of this company and inspire future generations is what makes it more than a job; every day I’m given the opportunity to leave an impact in the Cayman Islands.

This luxury, private residence will debut in 2020 on Costa Rica’s premier Guanacaste shoreline.

Rosewood Residences Puerto Papagayo unveiled its first phase of luxury real estate offerings, allowing potential homeowners the opportunity to secure one of 45 residential offerings available during phase one.
“We are elated to see the reality of Rosewood Puerto Papagayo come to life as we begin accepting phase one residential reservations,” says Amy Davis, sales director for Rosewood Residences Puerto Papagayo. “For world travelers and prospective homebuyers who wish to call Costa Rica home, Rosewood Puerto Papagayo will perfectly capture Costa Rica’s pura vida luxury lifestyle.”

Located on the northern Guanacaste shoreline in Costa Rica, Rosewood Puerto Papagayo overlooks the expansive Gulf of Papagayo, the setting for the country’s premier destination for all things luxury and some of the world’s most sought-after beaches. When the resort opens in 2020, it will ultimately boast 98 privately owned residences ranging from studios to 5-bedroom. The property will also feature a 138-room hotel.

The first Rosewood in the country, the community is designed to follow the brand’s core philosophy of A Sense of Place® and will use indigenous materials and locally inspired artwork throughout the property. The accommodations and residences are designed to make the most of the natural surroundings, with features such as open-air living rooms, large terraces and plunge pools. The suites will offer 2-story treehouses whose striking, contemporary design will bring a sense of delight, privacy and romance with unmatched views of the Pacific Ocean. Three of the 11 treehouses will be available for purchase.

Keeping up with the sense of intimacy and luxury hospitality that Rosewood provides, the resort will provide amenities such as Sense, a Rosewood Spa®; beach club; tennis center;  Kids’ Adventure Club; and shopping and restaurants.
The half-mile sandy beachfront will offer endless water activities and access to deep sea fishing expeditions, while the culinary offerings include a working farm-to-table restaurant and several fine and casual dining opportunities.

“Expanding our global portfolio with our first property in Costa Rica allows for the brand to draw inspiration from the natural beauty of the Guanacaste coast, which aligns with our ‘A Sense of Place®’ philosophy,” says Radha Arora, president of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. “The destination perfectly embodies the Rosewood lifestyle and we look forward to introducing the resort to future guests and residents.”

A 15-minute drive from Liberia International Airport, the resort is situaed on the closest beach to the airport.
Rosewood Puerto Papagayo is the product of a team of globally-respected developers, architects and marketers including Aldesa’s team of engineers and builders, Zürcher Arquitectos and IMI Worldwide Properties.
In the first phase of development, 45 exclusive residences will be available priced from $450,000 to $2.9 million. Sales will launch in November 2017.

Whether it’s a beautiful cottage looking out upon the Atlantic Ocean from Martha’s Vineyard, a luxurious island mansion on the shores of Nantucket, or even an idyllic, historical home with bay views on Cape Cod, the shorelines of Massachusetts are appealing locations for buyers looking for a luxury, waterfront experience.

Gary Winn, Broker at Maury People Sotheby’s International Realty, knows all too well about the benefits of purchasing a waterfront home, specifically in Nantucket. “I can’t speak for all of Massachusetts, but buying waterfront property on Nantucket is a great opportunity and a great investment.”

Similar to other regions of New England, waterfront properties in Massachusetts aren’t limited by a small inventory, but instead face difficulties in finding room to expand. As Winn mentions, a stretch of land with water frontage is rare because “they’re not making any more” of them. However, this fact opens up the opportunity to either purchase an existing waterfront home with a long history, or start from the ground up by refurbishing or building a new construction. As featured below, many of the most expensive waterfront properties in Massachusetts are original mansions or homes that have been around for decades, as well as fully renovated estates that are new to the shore.

Nantucket and other shore towns in Massachusetts offer an array of opulent estates for the most discerning buyers, providing exclusive lifestyles that are not available elsewhere. “When you come to Nantucket, although you may not be travelling far, you really feel like you’ve gone someplace,” says Winn.

If you want to buy something for $10 million or more in Massachusetts, then here are your options:
