Portugal
What’s Here: A strikingly modern four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom villa in Grândola that’s just a 15-minute drive to Comporta, less than an hour from Lisbon, and just a short distance from the beach. There’s a spectacular great room with a living area with double-height ceilings that opens out to the pool, an outdoor dining area, and an outdoor lounge area boasting an outdoor fireplace. Two of the four-bedroom suites are on the ground floor, with access to the outdoor space, while one bedroom suite on the upper floor has a private balcony, while the other overlooks the living room.
What We Love: The seamless integration between the indoor and outdoor spaces really highlights the villa’s picturesque surroundings, including sliding glass doors in the bedrooms, a light-filled upper-level secondary living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, and skylights in the spa-style bathrooms that flood the space with natural light.

Florida
What’s Here: Mediterranean Revival magnificence a shell’s throw from Atlantic Ocean sands, elegantly sequestered in the estate section of Palm Beach. This Marion Sims Wyeth-designed compound shines across its acreage, harkening to its 1928 origins while standing amenity-laden for luxe living. Jaws will drop at the sight of the living room, its vaulted ceilings soaring to 35 feet and boasting exposed, original pecky cypress beams adorned with stenciled design work. The highlight reel continues to roll outside, where four covered spaces provide irresistible al fresco living, dining, and entertaining. Fountains and rose gardens add that final brushstroke of elegance.
What We Love: The pool area, whose patio loungers and surrounding trees collaborate to combine the atmospheres of an exclusive resort and a secluded lakeside into one tranquil package.

Hudson Valley
What’s Here: A serene Columbia County retreat of 34+ acres with a three-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath house at its heart. Featured in the pages of Architectural Digest, this arrestingly gorgeous house is clad in shou sugi ban siding, an 18th century Japanese wood-treating technique that chars the wood and seals it with natural oil, resulting in a textured and velvety charcoal black siding. The interiors are just as distinctive as the exteriors, with a double-height living room that boasts a wood-burning fireplace and a 16-foot-wide retractable glass wall that opens to panoramic views of natural splendor.
What We Love: The property sits equidistant between the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires: Drive 30 minutes to the west and you’ll be in Hudson, NY, or drive 30 minutes to the east, and you’ll arrive in Great Barrington, MA. Even closer are the towns of Hillsdale, Ancram, and Pine Plains, as well as Copake Lake. Plus, Catamount Ski Resort, just over the New York-Massachusetts border, is just a 15-minute drive away.

New York City
What’s Here: Perspectives on Central Park from the Aman Residences, atop Midtown East’s historic Crown Building. Spanning over 4,800 square feet between interior and exterior, this three-bedroom home stuns with its open-concept living spaces, chic detailing — see: the great room’s double-sided fireplace — and private outdoor pool. Wait, what? Yes, swim in serene style above the city, embracing the urban escape with the park’s treetops and the skyline unfolding before you. The primary suite also feels like a personal getaway, featuring another fireplace, a private terrace (with a jacuzzi!), custom closets, and a spa-worthy ensuite.
What We Love: The Aman Residences’ fleet of amenities, which include a 25,000-square-foot wellness center featuring an indoor pool, state-of-the-art gym, and spaces for yoga, Pilates, and cryotherapy, a terrace bar and lounge, and two signature restaurants — the seasonal Italian concept Arva and the traditional Japanese cuisine, with an omakase menu, of Nama.

East End
What’s Here: Land for days, or at least for 148 acres. Gargantuan is an appropriate adjective to label this Peconic property with. Its composition is astounding. A certified organic farm encompasses 60 acres on its own and boasts a thriving garden, a greenhouse, and more to live life a little (or a lot) more farm-to-table. The property partially sits on a sheltered cove, accessible for fishing or paddleboarding via a 60-foot-long floating dock. Get active by using the tennis court, the “short game” golf course, or the swimming pool. There’s even a fitness and wellness barn outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment like a Pilates reformer and a hyperbaric chamber.
What We Love: We haven’t even touched on the home itself, a marvel of form and function. Natural light flows freely, fostering a sense of comfort and warmth from floor to vaulted ceiling. The main house’s kitchen is equipped with top-notch appliances, ample prep space (including a center island), and copious cabinetry, making every mealtime an adventure worth taking. For an even more singular spin on cooking, try the poolside pizza oven.

Earls, this 11,000+ square-foot six-bedroom estate offers majestically scaled rooms boasting soaring ceilings and dramatic oversized windows in all, as well as a double-height foyer. The primary suite has a spa-style bathroom, dual dressing rooms, a fireplace, a private terrace, and sweeping views.

New Jersey
What’s Here: Luxury living on a grand scale, this newly built six-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bathroom Paramus residence opens with a dramatic 20-foot entry foyer and great room with a fireplace and two levels of windows, which connects directly to the floating glass-and-iron staircase with LED lights. The chef’s kitchen has two-tone cabinetry, a hidden butler’s pantry, and a waterfall island.
What We Love: No need to head out to treat yourself — there’s a home gym and sauna right here, and after your workout, head to the primary suite’s bathroom, where you can enjoy a rainfall shower and a soaking tub. Once you’re totally relaxed and pampered, pad over in your pajamas to the 17-seat home movie theater to watch your favorite flick.

South Carolina
What’s Here: A fully furnished four-bedroom, four-bath charmer in one of the Lowcountry’s most desirable communities. Located in Palmetto Bluff’s West Wilson Village with views of the first hole at the May River Golf Course, this 2007 build sits surrounded by a thicket of mature trees, offering seclusion and privacy while being just a short golf cart ride over to tee time. Two of the four bedrooms are designated as primary suites, with one on each floor. One boasts a vaulted ceiling, a brick fireplace, and windows on three sides. The house also has a wraparound porch, and outside, a fire pit with seating for cozy evenings in all seasons.
What We Love: It’s eligible for short term rental use, offering enviable flexibility.

Northern California
What’s Here: A mid-century modern home that’s quintessential California cool. Featured in Sunset magazine multiple times, this stunning Sonoma County home was designed in 1965 by local architect Thomas M. Tomasi, who built it for himself and his family. Meticulously updated while retaining its period charm, it’s still a perfect embodiment of his vision, marrying contemporary style with the property’s natural environs. Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, a formal dining room, a living room with an office nook, and a breezeway linking the house to a detached garage.
What We Love: Original details and beautiful outdoor surroundings that truly make this house shine, including a stained-glass wall, an enormous rock fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and jalousie windows in the bathrooms.

Texas
What’s Here: Every day feels like a vacation at this four-bedroom, four-full-bathroom (and two-half-bathroom) estate in the Woodlands that sits right next to the George Mitchell Nature Preserve. The primary house has three flex spaces that can be used as home offices, dens, or study spaces, depending on your family’s needs, which allows for privacy and quiet — whether it’s for Zoom calls or Twitch streaming. Separately, there’s a guest house, perfect for welcoming friends and family while allowing them their own space.
What We Love: There’s a large pool and spa, a pool house, a full outdoor kitchen, and two outdoor fireplaces, and a covered patio that’s perfect for entertaining and relaxing.

The primary suite has a private lanai, two closets, and a spa-style bathroom with ocean views.
What We Love: The house takes advantage of its stunning location at every turn, with sliding glass doors in the great room, dining room, and the primary bedroom that open out directly to the ocean view and beyond. There’s also an outdoor kitchen with a grill, which means that even a simple meal prep can be accomplished with colorful sunsets as a backdrop.

Turks & Caicos
What’s Here: True to its name, Villa Skyline is situated seemingly between sky and sea, with five-bedroom suites that each have a private terrace, allowing for the feel of individual units within the larger space, with two of the guest suites boasting kitchenettes as well. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is perfect for entertaining and whipping up an elaborate meal — and no worries if you don’t have the cooking skills for such a repast, as a private chef, butler, and other concierge services can easily be arranged (we have great recommendations on speed dial).
What We Love: Outside, there’s a pool, covered lounge, dining area, and a barbecue grill — and if the sound of the ocean’s crashing waves aren’t atmospheric enough, there’s also a Sonos surround sound system that extends through the living area, lounge, and terrace, so it’s easy to set the mood with your favorite tunes.
