The Regency-Style home at 1708 River Oaks Boulevard recalls the glory of a 17th-century Parisian hotel. Superbly positioned on more than one acre, it is exquisitely constructed of Texas Cream limestone, cast stone and steel and offers greater than 14,000 square-feet of rare opulence. A Tiffany-style glass domed ceiling, indoor heated pool, Las Cala marble flooring, hand-carved mahogany moldings, and richly inlaid hardwood floors are offered in this residence.

“Jagersbosch” is a unique estate situated in the middle of Vught, offering maximum privacy in an oasis of peace. The estate covers five hectares and is enclosed by the provincial road between Hertogenbosch and Tilburg, (the Helvoirtseweg) and the Jagersboschlaan. To the rear of the estate, out of sight of the main house, there are four building plots with planning permission to build four large additional dwellings.

Hidden paradise at the Peak for a family looking for privacy and outdoor living space. Secluded along a tree-lined road among many other prestigious homes, this one enjoys green views and is decorated meticulously from inside out. From the fishpond, trees and plants in the manicured front garden to the flower bed, wooden fences and wrought-iron railing of the balcony, rooftop and backyard, the house is a perfect illustration of summer garden living.

Secluded on more than one gated acre in Seminole Landing is an estate of understated elegance and Caribbean inspiration. The 25,878-square-foot residence takes full advantage of its oceanfront location, blurring the lines between indoors and out and allowing for the most pleasurable resortlike lifestyle. The style of British West Indies-with its breezy outdoor spaces and light-filled, view-focused interiors-offered inspiration and was adapted for relaxed, refined modern living.
