 The Villas at Tristant - Telluride Colorado

Located in the heart of the stunning Telluride Mountain Village on prestigious San Joaquin Boulevard, The Villas townhomes on the creek put you in a true lap of luxury. The cozy community of elegant homes is nestled on a sunny bench overlooking and adjacent to the Telluride Ski Area and mingles with the alpine surroundings to offer the finest in privacy and big mountain scenery.

The residences are all within close proximity to shopping, dining and the gondola as the Mountain Village Core and downtown Telluride are just steps away via the new Crosslift. The Villas at Tristant sit adjacent to Prospect Creek and a stone’s throw from the ski runs and chair lifts.

An enclave of 14 three and four bedroom log and stone residences, the Villas at Tristant boast stunning unobstructed vistas of the Sneffels Mountain Range. The ski bridge adjacent to the property and a private ski lift make ski-in/ski-out access optimal. Let yourself get carried away on the cross-lift.

The Crosslift is a people-mover that brings homeowners directly from their doorsteps to the ski slopes, Mountain Village shops, golf course and the gondola to Telluride. The innovative system leaves from The Villas townhomes on the creek enclave and descends to Village Bypass ski run in a scenic three minute ride. Operating according to an “on call” system, similar to that of an elevator, passengers can summon a pick-up with the push of a button if the car isn’t already waiting and ride as frequently as they please. The cabin contains a fully automatic door and is capable of accommodating six passengers with their ski equipment.

Rock Creek Estate - Portland Oregon

MLS ID #8008376

Incredible Brand New Arts & Crafts modeled after Greene & Greene Architects. The visual importance of the aesthetic nature of the joints, pegs, and complex wood-work symbolizes the structure of the house, and coincides with the principles taught in the Manual Training School of their youth.

The structure of the house is externalized, or exploded, rather than hidden in decoration. Each element of the structure asserts itself. This extravagance of support takes its origins from the decorative bracketing of Japanese structures. Every piece of the structure is absolutely essential to the overall horizontality.No detail overlooked.

Radiant heating on 3 floors. Brazilian Teak flooring, Sapele Mahogany cabinetry,honed marble counters, slate, granite. 10 minutes to Intel, 15 min to Bethany, and 25 min to downtown Portland. Gorgeous usable 11.46 Acres. Truly a one of a kind home.

Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch

Frommer’s Review

From the colonnades of palm trees to the lobby walls that slide away, this luxurious resort is designed to impress and continues to be my favorite Scottsdale resort. It’s relatively close in, has interesting architecture, beautiful grounds, and, in 2005, added a big new spa. What’s not to love? A 2 1/2-acre water playground serves as the resort’s focal point, and the extravagant complex of 10 swimming pools includes a water slide and a huge whirlpool spa.

Guest rooms are luxurious and are designed to reflect the desert location. Vu, the resort’s premier restaurant, has a sunken waterside gazebo, while Ristorante Sandolo features after-dinner gondola rides. The resort’s Native American and Environmental Learning Center provides a glimpse into Sonoran Desert culture and ecology. Children’s programs make this is a super choice for families.

Facilities: 4 restaurants (New American, Southwestern, Italian); snack bar; 2 lounges; coffee bar; juice bar; 10 pools; 27-hole golf course (with lots of water hazards); 4 tennis courts; health club; full-service spa; 3 Jacuzzis; bike rentals; children’s programs; concierge; car-rental desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms.

Questions & Answers

Q: Dear Angus;  I don’t know how to say this any other way, but I have three children and one of them can not handle money.  Is there a way I can prevent him from spending my IRA right away after I am gone?     Kaye - Oregon

A: Well Kaye you are in luck.  There are actually two ways you can protect your son from spending away his future income as soon as he inherits your IRA. One way is to have a special IRA Trust created - that you name as your beneficiary - as it will not be taxed at your death.  This trust can hold your son’s inherited IRA while the trustee manages the annual required minimum distributions from the IRA.  The trustee can be responsible for the amount you want distributed out to your son from the required annual distributions, keeping any surplus reinvested in the trust.

Another way is to place your IRA assets with an IRA custodian that has a “beneficiary withdrawal restriction.”  Using this method, after your death the custodian can be directed to distribute only the required annual minimum distribution amount each year over the lifetime of the beneficiary, your son.  You can also direct the custodian to distribute only the required annual distribution for the first so many years - and then give the beneficiary full rights after that time.  This method of limiting your beneficiary is much simpler and less costly.
