We have reviewed a fair share of global luxury properties, and whilst they have all been spectacular, our next luxury home really does step up a gear.
On the market for $90 million, This Manhattan property doesn’t look that impressive from the exterior, but it’s inside that really made us sit up.
With an art gallery, spa lounge, 1000 bottle wine cellar and an elevator, this starts to shape up as a real high end property.
But that isn’t the main selling point of this New York mansion. No, that would be the indoor waterfall!
22 foot high and 20 foot wide, the cascading waterfall complete with pond and sculpture garden, this is one luxury home accessory that we love!
Real estate company Wemit LLC are responsible for this stunning water feature and also the sale of the property. Located at the upper side of the 4 East 80th Street and spanning 13,000 square feet, this is sure to attract the attention of blingers everywhere.
My only slight worry about having an interior waterfall is it may inspire a few more trips to the smallest room!
Thought-provoking and refreshingly original, the artwork of Cornish artist Toby Ray evokes memories of summers past.
Artist Toby takes his main inspiration from the ocean and each ‘artwork within an artwork’ is a skilful melange of contemporary seascape painting, 3D assemblage, spray can stencilling and mixed media artistry.
Always featuring one of his life’s loves- a clean breaking wave, a pensive cat, or iconic 80’s imagery- Toby’s paintings also reflect his passion for interior design and have adorned galleries the world over.

Sir David Lean was responsible for some of the greatest epics ever made. The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, Ryan’s Daughter, and A Passage to India…seriously impressive.
Just as impressive is the Moulin du Jardinier, the late directors French retreat, situated just 20 minutes from Cannes.
Clearly, Sir David was a perfectionist and it shows with this luxury French villa.
The converted mill is set in seven acres of mature landscaped gardens in the hills of Mouans Sartoux, providing easy access to South of France’s best bits.
