Who ever said living in luxury had to be expensive!?! Well who ever they were, they were right! It will set you back about $28.5 Million… The Glass Pavilion was put on the market by Sotheby’s International Realty, and is definitely a home that’s one goal is to make your jaw drop! From the breathless expanses of glass, to “floating-like” rooms, and the stunning outdoor spaces that feel as if you haven’t even stepped outside, all work to make this one of the most spectacular “show homes” on the market in the U.S. I don’t think i’ll be writing a check for this home anytime soon, but I sure will be dreaming about it for many years to come!

“The Glass Pavilion is a redefining structure within modernism. It is a benchmark building that sets the bar as to what modernism is and can be. Set within a 3.5+/- acre estate of oak groves in Montecito, this home is impressive beyond words. The five bedrooms, five and a half bath home is 14,000+/- square feet. The glass pavilion includes a large kitchen with wine room holding several thousand bottles, grand hallway, and art gallery. The art gallery currently displays a vintage car collection. The space is so generous that it is capable of holding up to 32 cars within its walnut lined walls. This is a world home with possibly no equal. The combination of architectural groundbreaking style and extreme detail in finish quality make it a home without compare. It is the pinnacle of architecture for this generation and will define the era in which it was built.”

With summer beneath our feet, i’m sure most of you are itching to travel somewhere!? I have the itch myself, and in result have done some ‘online’ shopping for a quaint Pied-à-terre! Whether I can make it happen or not is beyond the point, so lets focus on setting a goal first… Here it is:

Villa Wickie, located in Gustavia, St. Barthélemy- offered by Sotheby’s. It boasts 6 bedrooms & 6 baths, almost 12,000 sq. ft. of living space, unobstructed views and state of the art luxury! Each room is designed with a clean palette of CRISP white and a chosen accent such as aquas, tangerine, and punches of red! Though a completely effortless looking and serene interior, i’m sure you’ll be spending most of your time in the most valuable part of this piece of real estate- the outdoors! OH YES- and it’ll only set you back a cool $24,000,000…no sweat!

“…Villa Wickie is one of the finest properties ever built in St Barth. This glorious six bedroom property is set atop the cliffside of Gustavia with unsurpassed ocean and sunset views. The location, while convenient to the heart of Gustavia, offers complete serenity. Designed by one of the top architects on island, no detail was missed in the creation of this jewel. From the oversized terraces and sprawling infinity pool to the amazing mozaics the property is a delight to the senses.”
