World's most desirable property currently on the market, leaving British buyers enraged due to its location outside the United Kingdom
In the picturesque town of Northumberland, the National Trust has transformed a 130ft tall Giant Redwood at Cragside into a dazzling Christmas light display. With 2,000 lightbulbs illuminating its towering height, the tree stands as an impressive sight, equivalent to approximately 10 double-decker buses stacked on top of each other. George Clarke, from George Clarke's Amazing Spaces, recently turned on the lights for this festive spectacle, and more information can be found online.
Meanwhile, in Sea Island, Georgia, USA, the modernist masterpiece, Entelechy II, is being sold for the first time ever. Designed and built by the neo-Futuristic architect and real estate developer, John Portman, Entelechy II is an embodiment of modernist philosophy and an exemplar of the "Entelechy: concept." Spread over two beachfront acres, the property boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and a private guest cottage with four further bedrooms.
Entelechy II transcends the conventional, standing as a harmonious interplay between architectural form and the natural grandeur of its oceanfront setting. John Portman, who lived and worked in Georgia, was known for designing big hotels with vast atriums, such as the Hyatt Regency Atlanta. The property itself was built by Portman as his private home.
Currently, Entelechy II is listed for sale for $40 million dollars with Chase Mizell of Atlanta Fine Homes & Sotheby's International Realty and Susan Imhoff and Ann Harrell of DeLoach Sotheby's International Realty. James Fisher, the Digital Commissioning Editor of a platform, has expressed interest in publishing a story about this extraordinary property. Fisher, who lives in London, writes about motoring, travel, and things that upset him.
As for Cragside, this historic property in Northumberland has a rich history of innovation. In the 19th century, it was the site of the first hydro-electric power plant in the UK. This Christmas, the Giant Redwood at Cragside is a must-see attraction, with the lights being installed using very large cherry pickers.
