Luxury Island Property: Charles Island is a tropical luxury development island in waiting in idyllic Spanish Wells, Bahamas. The 55-acre island, which is near Harbour Island, is on the market for $39 million. Charles is being presented as a “mini Dubai,” as its potential for a mixed-use luxury property is enormous with open zoning.
Located near Spanish Wells and Eleuthera, the island has great proximity and access to utilities and support facilities as well as having three airports nearby. There are three electrical lines, telephone service, and government-supplied water currently servicing the island. Interested parties are invited to contact Bahamas Realty Unlimited.
Luxury Real Estate: This heavenly Nassau, Bahamas, waterfront estate is a tropical enclave of spectacular dimensions. Three separate houses, three docks, and slips for 12 boats are spread over nearly four lush acres of Mother Nature’s finest work. There is more than 1,700 feet of water frontage. The main house has more than 6,000 square feet of living place with 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms.
The luxury property, which we found at LuxuryRealEstate.com, also features a helipad, a heated pool, and a detached recreational building —dubbed the Gunpowder Room—which originally was a storage shed used by the British Army back in 1826. The view from the second-story balcony off the master bedroom is priceless. The price of this wondrous Caribbean residence is $32.5 million
Celebrity Real Estate: Actress/singer/dancer/extraordinary entrepreneur Jennifer Lopez and equally impressive hubby singer-actor Marc Anthony have sold their Bel Air, Calif., home for $7.5 million. The TelegraphJournal.com reported that the luxury property, a walled and gated estate of 7,357 square feet on a quarter acre lot, was originally listed at $8.5 million in early 2009. When comparing the selling price to the asking price, the acclaimed A-list couple did just fine. Getting more than 88 percent of an asking price for a high-end property is an “OK day” in any economy. Smile … smile … smile!
Around the main house is a separate guesthouse, a swimming pool, and ornate landscaping that features garden pathways. There are five full bathrooms and four bedrooms in a house that features stone and exotic wood flooring and five fireplaces. This classic two-story house, which is located in one of Los Angeles’ most affluent neighborhoods of all time, was built in 1941.
October 16, 2009 | Contributor: James Rothaar Luxury Properties: Would you be interested in picking up a condo for free? How about one valued at $500,000, and located in the Caribbean to boot? We found a real estate deal on the Dutch side of St. Maarten that looks like a whale of a deal.
A newly built village marina, Porto Cupecoy is about to open on the western side of the Simpson Bay Lagoon. The developers of this tropical upscale community are offering a free condominium to buyers of its VIP yacht slips, which are large enough to hold a 300-foot yacht. There are 11 available priced from $1.5 million to $3 million, and the offer is good till January 29, 2010.
Luxury Real Estate: While "location, location, location" remains the prevailing mantra for selling real estate, "added value, added value, added value" is apparently gaining momentum when it comes to marketing high-end luxury properties. Here's one we found in Brooklyn, NY, at One Brooklyn Bridge Park. Here is an opportunity to live in a building with a storied industrial past and to receive a free car, an Audi A4, and a garaged parking spot too.
There is one catch, or provision if you would, in order to take advantage of this horse-powered buying incentive. It is applicable on single-family residences with a minimum price of $2.1 million. Several of these premier condos are available and priced from $2.1 up to $4.25 million. Living space on units offering the Audi A4, range from 1,443 to 3,739 square feet.
