The Bull is Back
In these luxury and
second home destinations,
bullish times appear
to be ahead.

T
he bull, one of Spain’s most enduring symbols, is revered for its attributes of nobility,
tenacity and strength. These qualities, however, have been absent from the Spanish
economy, which more resembled a bear the last fi ve years. But heading into 2013 another bullish quality is beginning to show: perseverance. Several Mediterranean markets
from Barcelona to Gibraltar, empowered by rising demand and one of the most majestic and
desirable coasts in Europe, are showing signs of economic resurgence. In these luxury and
second home destinations, bullish times appear to be ahead.
MallOrc a and IBIZ a
Unlike the mainland, the downturn had little effect on the Balearic Islands of Mallorca and
Ibiza, says Daniel Chavarria Waschke, Managing Director for Mallorca Sotheby’s International
Realty. “I would say 90-percent of the owners are non-Spanish, and the homes they own on
the islands are often the third or fourth property in their portfolio. They’re in a much stronger
position financially.”
While both islands have the amenities and infrastructure to cater to high net-worth individuals, discerning buyers will find Mallorca’s beaches, restaurants, cafes, marinas and 23 highly
accessible golf courses pleasingly discreet and relaxed. Ibiza, Waschke says, is the opposite—
more seasonal, more appealing for jetsetters, high-profile celebrities, athletes and socialites.
Construction exploded on the islands between 1995 and 1999 with 200- to 300-percent
growth each year, and there remains an oversupply of homes. Buyers have options, according
Ibiza... is the opposite—more seasonal,
more appealing for jetsetters, highprofile celebrities, athletes and socialites.
to Waschke, “But in my view that will stop because there’s been no
new construction for four years, especially on villas,” due to new territorial plans that increase protected natural areas. “There’s no more
land available. Right now in Mallorca there’s hardly a good plot with
sea views available. The same goes for Ibiza.” Prices are already beginning to appreciate.
BarcelOna and cOsTa Br ava
Barcelona is a romantic convergence of history, architecture, arts
and cuisine. Yet despite status as one of the 15 most visited cities in
the world, Christophe Toelle, Managing Partner at Barcelona & Costa
Brava Sotheby’s International Realty, says that prices fell between 40and 45-percent when the real estate bubble burst in 2007. Yet over the
last six months, as inventory has decreased due to an almost full stop
in construction, prices in the luxury market are rising as buyers again
explore investment opportunities. “We’ve already noticed an increasing demand for prime locations and premium real estate,” says Toelle.
“We clearly see a stabilization of prices in that segment.”
Luxury property demands are concentrated in Barcelona, but
foreign investors—many of them French and Eastern European—are
actively pursuing second home properties in the Costa Brava. “Until
2007 we had around 60-percent national buyers (in Costa Brava),
especially form Catalunya and Barcelona,” says Toelle. “With the
crisis, this has changed significantly, and nowadays we see essentially
international buyers.”
cOsTa Bl anc a
The market around Altea, a former fishing village terraced into
the sloping terrain of the Costa Blanca on the central Mediterranean
coast, has become particularly attractive to foreign buyers, especially
Scandinavians “In Alfaz del Pi, just five minutes from Altea, we have
the biggest Norwegian community outside of Norway,” says Christian
Fischer, Director for Altea Costa Blanca Sotheby’s International Realty,
with offices in Altea and Moraira.
Known for its white sand and stone beaches, hillside towns and
villages bustling with nightlife from Denia to Benidorm, the looming
Sierra de Bernia Mountain range and the dramatic cliffs that define
the coastline, demand in Costa Blanca has remained relatively stable.
Fischer says home prices currently average 1,200 € per square meter
in Altea and 3,500 € for waterfront properties, and this stabilization is
the primary reason international investors and developers are buying
property at the Costa Blanca.
cOsTa del sOl
According to Kristina Szekely, owner of Kristina Szekely Sotheby’s
International Realty, the return of the market in Costa del Sol, an
Adalusian oasis along the southern Spanish coast, has been particularly
noticeable in 2013.
Anticipating increased investor activity, several premium developments are underway. In the town of Marbella and within walking
distance of the beaches is Jardines del Príncipe, a modern multi-story
complex with luxury 2- and 3-bedroom apartments. In the town of
Ronda is La Melonera, consisting of 30 premium estates with adjacent
vineyard acreage and winemaking/bottling facilities.
Interaction is infectious in Marbella and Costa del Sol. “It’s a very
exciting place to live because it offers you the chance to mingle with
people everyday that you would never expect to otherwise meet,”
Szekely says. “It’s a very easy, very social life here.”
As buyers from across Europe and beyond again pursue the easy,
social lifestyle of these spectacular Mediterranean markets, the bull is
very much making its way back.

ollecting is
of ten viewed
as a curious
compulsion,
with someone driven
to acquire every example in a particular field.
A s h o r t to u r of t h e
Internet reveals some
astonishing examples,
ranging from posters
depicting fish to Soviet era calculators and
chocolate wrappers.
The more rarefied
world of art collecting,
however, operates in a
slightly different fashion. Certainly a cursory examination would seem to indicate a similar
level of obsession, with collectors gathering thousands of examples of their chosen field be it
Old Master drawings, Meissen ceramics or duck decoys.
However, it does not reveal the full story. It perhaps remains impossible to define what
drives someone to collect, but art collectors tend to operate with a higher degree of discernment, not simply acquiring every example of an object, but curating their collection to ensure
it is both comprehensive and of high quality.
Certain collectors, however, would appear to belie this assertion with the great breadth
and range of their acquisitions. For someone like Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), whose collection is now housed in the popular museum bearing his name in New York, collecting art
was a central and integral part of his life. As Colin Bailey, in his 2006 book on the collection,
“Building the Frick Collection” reveals, Frick was always interested in art and in his thirties
was refused a loan when the bank agent reported Frick lived with his collection of prints and
sketches, “some made by himself and all out of place in this half office and half living room in
a clapboard shack.” A second assessor, who subsequently granted the loan, was still moved to
observe Frick “may be a little too enthusiastic about pictures, but not enough to hurt.”
Buhl explains, “our object was to do the history of
photography through the subject of hands”
At his death Frick’s collection, acquired over four decades included
some of the most important names in art history: Bellini, Chardin, Constable, Corot, El Greco, Goya, Holbein, Ruisdael, Rembrandt, Titian, Velázquez, Vermeer, Van Dyck. What is left for visitors to enjoy is a comprehensive array of the world’s masterpieces akin to famous collections
compiled by the likes of Getty, Morgan or Rockefeller.
Sotheby’s in New York recently had the opportunity to sell a more
single-minded collection, devoted to photographs depicting the human
hands. Henry M. Buhl, by his own admission in an interview with the writer Julie Belcove for Sotheby’s magazine, had “collected little things,
nothing over $2,000” until on 6 October 1993 – he still recalls the exact
date – when he bought an Alfred Stieglitz photograph for $75,000,
elegantly depicting Stieglitz’ then wife’ Georgia O’Keeffe’s hands from
above. While some collectors focus on cultures, periods, artists or media,
Buhl was fascinated by subject matter. He went on to build a collection
of photographs with some 1,100 images ranging from works from the
earliest pioneers of photography through to up-to-the-minute imag-
es from leading contemporary artists. As the collection developed
Buhl employed a professional curator, but the mission remained the
same as Buhl explains, “our object was to do the history of photography through the subject of hands” – such was the success with which
he realized this vision that the collection was the subject of an exhibition at the Guggenheim in 2004 that subsequently travelled around
the world.
While Buhl’s commitment to collecting is obvious, he also maintained a long-standing dedication to charitable causes. In 1989 he
established a foundation supporting education and the arts for the
homeless, consolidated a few years later as The Association of Community Employment Programs for the Homeless (A.C.E) providing
education and training, but also ensuring that Buhl’s collection is not
only exhibited and enhanced, but also that art organizations committed to innovation are supported.
It was the foundation that benefitted from the sale of 400 or so
works from Buhl’s collection of photographs in an auction entitled
A Show of Hands at Sotheby’s New York last
December. It went on to raise over $12 million,
the highest ever total for a private group of
photographs and the third highest for a singleowner collection of photographs. Among the
many classic works by some of the most famous
names in photography was that first Stieglitz
photograph, Georgia O’Keeffe – Hands and
Thimble, which sold for $770,500.
From Frick to Buhl, possibly for all great
art collectors, collecting is not simply a compulsion, as it is with those who indiscriminately
acquire each and every example of something.
For art collectors the process is founded in research, in knowledge of their chosen collecting
area, and their experience makes collecting a
selective exercise.

Today’s luxury kitchen is the home’s focal point—and selling point.
C
IYNA CARUSO
elebrated chef and restaurateur Jonathan Waxman leads
a life of all things culinary.
That includes th e occasional role of residential
k itchen designer.
“I ask clients a million questions about who they are as a cook
and about their lifestyle. ‘Who do you like to entertain and where
do you like to shop? Are you evolving as a cook?’ It’s like being a
kitchen psychiatrist.”
The world’s most exceptional kitchens are as much about custom
designing to a homeowner’s lifestyle as it as customizing to one’s aesthetic tastes. That’s what turns them from utilitarian spaces to culinary
playgrounds. And it’s why Waxman says kitchens should be reserved
for the “best spot of the house where there’s tons of light, the best
views and the best access. A place to hang out in, have a cocktail and
harangue people into helping you cook,” he jokes. “That’s what makes
a kitchen exciting.”

KITCHENS A S DESTINATIONS
It used to be that most parties ended up in the kitchen. Now they
start there. Homeowners are cooking with —not just for—friends
as a social activity.
“A generation ago, kitchens in luxury properties were reserved
solely for staff,” says Stan Ponte of Sotheby’s International Realty
East Side Brokerage in New York. “In New York City, kitchens
were places owners didn’t go. It was for the caterer or the live-in
cook. Wealth has changed.
Kitchens are not just the focal point but the selling point. Many
buyers are shying away from properties that require too much renovation. “At the depth of the recession, people were finding they could get
very good deals” says Ponte. “Now with the market being as busy as
it is, especially in Manhattan, people prefer to purchase an apartment
where appliances, counters and cabinetry require little-to-no renovation. There’s a premium on kitchens that are done.”
No matter the country, no matter the culture, stunning kitchens are the
starting point for stopping buyers in their tracks.
Kitchens are homier yet they are decidedly more high tech. Kitchen desks are gone but space is reserved for smartphones, tablets and
charging stations. “In fact, the sleek design of our iPhones and iPads
has influenced appliance and cabinet design tremendously,” says San
Diego-based Kitchen and Bath Designer Jamie Gold, AKBD, CAPS
and author of New Kitchen Ideas That Work (Taunton Press, 2012).
“You’re seeing curved corners, bright white finishes, streamlined or
touch-panel appliance controls, black and gray glass appliance fronts

and the ability to customize your kitchen to how you use it. Technology is moving things along, producing multi-tasking appliances and
hands-free, sensor-based functionality” that incorporates personal
preferences for entertaining and day-to-day living.
GOING FOR THE SPLURGE
In homes of distinction, kitchens are part splurge and part surprise.
Chef Waxman’s ideal? “A warm and beautiful kitchen that looks like it
came out of the South of France.”
Europe is known for its role as trendsetting and tastemaker. France
is well regarded for its design. Italy and Spain are respected for their
tile-making and surfacing work. Germany is a dynamic center of cabinetry, fixtures and appliance innovation.
Experts agree quality is the mark of an extraordinary kitchen:
Floors of honed limestone, slate or flagstone, for instance, that are
beautifully textured and easy to clean. Quality is classic and enduring.
That’s the case of the kitchen in a $3.95 million carriage house estate in West Manchester, Mass. “While the house was completed in
1998, the owners, who made all of the design choices personally, had
amazing foresight when they built it. It is truly timeless,” says Devlyn
Brackett of By the Sea Sotheby’s International Realty in Beverly, Mass.
Splurges? Plenty including radiant floors, palladium ceiling windows, a
16-foot long island countertop of gorgeous reclaimed St. Petersburg
oak and a cook’s garden.
No matter the country, no matter the culture, stunning kitchens are the starting point for stopping buyers in their tracks. On the
island of Sylt in northern Germany is a 12.9 million € home with an
“I have arrived” kitchen, says Anita Gärtner of Hamburg Sotheby’s
International Realty. The owners had a “precise idea of their dream
kitchen,” the centerpiece of which is a bespoke range from the French

Yet the emphasis of a grand kitchen is
always on living space for socializing rather
than as an appliance showroom. Ponte says
the trend that started a decade or so ago of
operating room-style kitchens is over. These
days it’s about warmth and textures.
Outdoor kitchens are getting the star
treatment, too. In the Buckhead area of Atlanta is a 40,000-square-foot palatial estate
listed for $19.9 million. It features two outdoor
kitchens including separate stations for pizza-making and teppanyaki Japanese grilling
in a one-acre inner courtyard that “folds onto
itself like a hotel resort,” says Mark Bhaggan
of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty. The grounds features more
than $1 million of stonework impor ted
from Lebanon and Jerusalem as well as mosaics laid by masons brought over from Italy.
Every remarkable kitchen has an element
of fantasy to it. And for many, the ultimate
fantasy is a show-stopper in which the homeowner stars as the celebrity chef.

a driftwood-covered Gaggenau refrigerator and an antique tile stove more than a century old.
The kitchen, built by Robinson & Cornish, demanded so much precision craftsmanships that the
designers said it took more time to build than a Volkswagen.
In some cases, yesterday’s indulgences are today’s must-haves like refrigerator drawers,
pasta faucets and butler’s kitchens, “which were always a splurge, but are now becoming more
common,” says Julian Brown of New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty. Still, ‘common’
does not mean run-of-the-mill. Brown has a listing for a 5 million NZD Queenstown estate.
Its Italian-designed kitchen boasts remarkable mountain views and a luxurious “open-style entertainer’s layout” with twin island bars.
Twins are definitely in, especially for homeowners who enjoy hosting. A $13.8 million Greenwich Village loft, listed by New York’s Ponte and his Sotheby’s International Realty colleague
Vannessa Kaufman, features a 750-plus square foot kitchen and lounge area with appliances
by the pairs: two stoves, two ovens, two wine refrigerators and two Subzero refrigerators.

the mystique of
San
Miguel
IYNA CARUSO
n the 16 th century San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, was an outpost on the silver route
to Mexico City. The mines are long gone but the treasures remain. These days,
though, they’re all above ground and the riches are there for the taking: The light
that attracts artists. The architecture that’s earned the city UNESCO World Heritage site designation. And the profusion of colors—from the periwinkle-colored homes
to the bougainvillea blossoms—that make a simple stroll about town a joyful adventure.
dormant passions. “We are surrounded
by centuries old architecture, plazas and
gardens all framed under azure skies and
populated by some of the most ordinary and
extraordinary people in the world,” Gleason
says. “What could be more magical?”
San Miguel is situated in the hilly central highlands about 165 miles northwest of
Mexico City. Life here is expressive. It is also sophisticated with boutique hotels, exquisite dining options and galleries that number in the dozens. In this jewel of Colonial
provenance, culture, history and the arts intersect. A wrought-iron bench in El Jardin,
the main garden square across from the baroque Parroquia church, is the place to see
it unfold, sometimes in the smallness of a moment as when the light plays tricks off the
church at dusk and sometimes big and bold. Literary, dance, religious and music festivals
take place year-round. Locals love their fiestas and celebrate them with a full sensory
assault. Revelers have been known to toss rose pedals along parade routes so their floral
scents are released as they march along.
Visitors blend in to this vibrant community, becoming more like temporary residents.
Says Wesley Gleason, an Atlanta, Georgia, native who now co-owns Agave Sotheby’s
International Realty in San Miguel, the community “attracts some of the most interesting,
diverse and intellectually stimulating people I’ve ever known from across North America,
Europe and beyond—artists, visionaries, entrepreneurs.”
Expats follow a familiar path. They discover San Miguel on vacation, return for
an extended stay and then wind up buying. Climate, cost of living and the overall ease
of lifestyle are hard to resist. What’s more, the artisanship of homes here is legendary.
So much so that carved doors, handcrafted cabinetry and detailed ironwork made in San
Miguel is routinely exported. (A $12.975 million hacienda compound in Rancho Santa Fe,
California, owes much of its grandeur to San Miguel craftsmanship).
And there’s something else, what folks call the “San Miguel magic.” It’s an expression
that has come to describe all aspects of life here. It could refer to the magnetic attraction people have when they visit, or how locals rediscover themselves or reignite long
