Sep 10, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichWhen hearing about a home that was almost purchased by Michael Jackson, you know it has to be extravagant and maybe even a little over-the-top—in a good way, of course—and though Primm Ranch definitely fits the latter requirement, it’s surprisingly elegant. ...

Sep 10, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichThe Taghkanic House looks like a modern art museum set in the middle of rolling hills that could easily be the setting of a Jane Austen novel.

Sep 7, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichThe drive from San Diego to The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain in Marana, Arizona includes some major temperature spikes and terrain changes—you get rocky mountains, unforgiving deserts (including one that doubled for Star Wars’ Tatooine), and miles and miles of Saguaro cacti. Though the thermostat may jump from to a suffocating 115 degrees by the time you hit Yuma, it’s alright because Marana seems to be at least 15 degrees cooler than its neighboring towns and cities. ...

Sep 1, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichIt looks like Christian Grey’s apartment is officially off the market and we aren’t surprised at all to find out that soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo was the one who snatched it. According to the Daily Mail, the 2,509-square-foot loft that reportedly inspired Fifty Shades of Grey can be found in New York’s Trump Tower and apparently cost the 30-year-old athlete $18.5 million. Considering Forbes lists him as the 10th richest celebrity in the world and the highest-paid football player (that’s soccer to us yanks), the price tag seems like chump change. ... Read More |

Aug 26, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichAs lovely as custom furnishings and imported tile work are, one should never forget the ceiling. You may not want something as dramatic as The Creation of Adam greeting you when you look up, but what about some flashy gold leaf?

Aug 26, 2015 | Contributor: Marissa StempienNormally talk of manors in the English countryside leave us dreaming of 18th century buildings, white picket fences and rose gardens worthy of having a proper tea party.

Aug 25, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichFor $17.8 million, you can pretty much start your very own community by purchasing the three-acre Little Hawkins Island in Sea Island, Georgia. The homes were built by previous owner Del Masters (a Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur), who wanted his own private resort to relax with his friends and family. Overall, from planning to interior decorating, the property took seven years to complete and includes four buildings: The Residence, two guest cottages and The Club (which includes a gym and a club room with a bar). ...

Aug 21, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichAs an example of something that probably looks much scarier than it actually is, London’s Nine Elms neighborhood will soon have a glass-bottomed Sky Pool that will sit 10 stories off the ground, stretched between two luxury Embassy Gardens residential buildings. Though the structures—which are being built near Battersea Power Station—won’t be finished until 2017, we know that the stunning aquarium-like pool will be 25 meters long (around 82 feet), five meters wide (16 feet) and three meters deep (which is nearly ten feet). It goes without saying, but this pool definitely isn’t for anyone who is afraid of heights! ... Read More |
