Across New England, a quintet of properties illustrates a shared appetite for privacy, recreation, and homes built to host. From a timber-frame residence on Big Barndoor Island in Alton Bay with panoramic Lake Winnipesaukee sunsets to a landscaped Easton estate with formal dining and a chef’s kitchen, each setting supports gathering in comfort. Maine contributes both a five-cabin waterfront compound in Roxbury and a wooded Newry retreat near Sunday River. Vermont’s Quechee hilltop contemporary completes the collection with long-range valley and park views.

Living with water as the daily horizon. From Kalamalka’s jewel-toned views to Port Browning Harbour’s kayak-ready shoreline and Marble Bay’s sandy beach with dock and moorage, each setting invites unhurried time outdoors. Architecture consistently turns the landscape into the main feature, with vaulted ceilings, expansive glass, and generous decks. Privacy is another throughline, whether on acreage, within a gated community, or tucked along the shore.

From Cordova Bay to Lions Bay, across to Summerland’s Trout Creek and back to Metchosin and Bear Mountain, this quintet traces a distinctly West Coast rhythm of living.

Ocean adjacency, lake steps, and trail-and-beach access anchor daily life in nature, while vaulted light, preserved character, and contemporary renovations keep the aesthetic current. Privacy, flexible layouts, and resort-style amenities round out the common thread.

Luxury designed for longevity, access, and ritual.

Even the custom home offering is defined by scenery-first design and outdoor living built for gathering.

Across St. George, a quartet of turn-key residences shares a clear point of view: design-forward interiors that keep the red rock landscape in constant conversation. Walls of glass, abundant daylight, and open great-room plans set an easy rhythm for indoor-outdoor living, while chef-grade kitchens and premium finishes underscore a polished, low-friction experience. Set within gated communities, these homes quartet privacy with amenity-rich lifestyles tied to golf and year-round recreation, from sunset watching to trailhead-bound mornings.

Across this quartet, Fairfield serves as a gateway to big skies, working land, and days spent outdoors. From a Main Street building zoned for business, residential, or mixed-use to homes designed for space and flexibility, each address reflects how the region blends practical living with sweeping scenery. A 2022 estate on 20 acres frames Rocky Mountain Front views alongside a spring, multi-kitchen layout, and a shop with an apartment. Nearby, in-town comfort sits close to Freezeout Lake and the Sun River, while a log cabin near the Sawtooths balances rustic character with modern ease.

Across British Columbia’s coast and interior, this quintet traces a distinctly premium lifestyle arc, from walkable seaside streets in Sidney to resort-minded Okanagan living in Vernon and Kelowna, and a coveted Oak Bay address. Modern coastal new builds on a quiet Sidney cul-de-sac emphasize contemporary design and rooftop ocean-view patios near the Lochside promenade. Inland, a Vernon acreage pairs old-world craftsmanship with a heated saltwater pool and a three-bay garage with a full suite above. In Kettle Valley, a 5,000+ square foot estate layers lake-view entertaining with pool, hot tub, and lock-and-leave ease.

Near the Missouri River and a state park, two Cascade properties lean into turn-key living, porches, and canyon-and-river outlooks. A fully furnished Huntsville cabin rounds out the collection.

Privacy, pedigree, and recreation that begins at the doorstep. In Big Sky, a gated Beehive Basin retreat spans 20 acres with 360-degree views, a fir-tree hideaway prioritizes comfort, and a new ski-in/ski-out residence sits beside open space and a creek. Bigfork adds single-level Swan River frontage within historic, gated Kootenai Lodge. Near Park City, an entitled 2.81-acre Tuhaye homesite pairs modern plans with club access.
