The Sailing World Turns its Eyes to Rhode Island
By LandVest
 

For the first time in 18 years, the competition for the oldest trophy in international sport (the America’s Cup) returns to the United States.  This week Newport, Rhode Island will be the first American venue for the lead-up to the 34th America’s Cup. Prior to racing for the Cup, teams compete in the World Series. The America’s Cup World Series is a regular circuit of regattas, bringing Cup racing to top venues around the world. The America’s Cup World Series allows the teams and their sailors to prepare for the Louis Vuitton Cup (the America’s Cup Challenger Series) and then, if fortunate enough, the America’s Cup Finals in San Francisco in September.

This year the first America’s Cup World Series circuit champion will be crowned in Newport, RI, the town that hosted Americas’ Cup racing from 1930 to 1983. The nine-day event is scheduled to run between June 23 and July 1, 2012. This exciting set of races features AC45 wing-sailed catamarans racing on short, tight courses within Newport Harbor. The start/finish line will be just off the shoreline and will afford incredible spectator access along numerous points on the waterfront.

As the event is drawing teams, fans and sponsors from New Zealand/UAE, England, Sweden, France, China, Italy and Korea, LandVest has targeted this event as a cross promotional opportunity to expand its already industry-leading international outreach. The following listings could be perfect venues to take in this round of Americas Cup races, or make this part of the world home. LandVest looks forward to seeing old friends and making new connections at this truly international celebration of sailing!

Block Island Real Estate for Sale offers Sunrise and Sunset Ocean Views
By LandVest
 

LandVest is pleased to announce three new real estate  listings on Block Island, Rhode Island.

Block Island, Rhode Island

  Block Island is 12 miles off the coast of Rhode Island, nestled in the Atlantic Ocean and is known for its miles of public sandy beaches, clear waters, dramatic bluffs, conservation areas, and tranquil lifestyle. The Nature Conservancy has designated Block Island “One of the 12 last great places in the Western Hemisphere.”

The Clinton Cottage

The three properties represent a carefully tiered portfolio of selected homes on the island. The offering begins with the Clinton Cottage, named in commemoration of President Bill Clinton’s visit in 1997. This visit marked the first time an acting President visited Block Island. President Clinton and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, were able to enjoy the Cottage during a brief stay while vacationing on nearby Martha’s Vineyard.

The Clinton Cottage was built in the 1960’s, but was completely renovated in the late 1990’s. It is located right on the water’s edge and features stunning panoramic ocean views from every room, a wrap-around deck, and updated baths and kitchen. Sited on a high point overlooking the beach, the property is one of the few places on the East Coast to take in both the sunrise and sunset over the ocean. Other highlights include beautiful landscaping and stone walkways, a private stairway that leads down to a sandy beach, and a thoughtfully positioned outdoor Jacuzzi.

Mill Pond Farm

The next offering is Mill Pond Farm, a two-acre family compound estate that has a tranquil and pastoral setting. With sweeping views of the Block Island Sound, this custom built five-bedroom main house and guest house have been thoughtfully designed and offer a flexible floor plan for both entertaining and family living. Additional highlights include a pond, horse stall and fenced pasture, outdoor shower, fireplace and two-car garage.

Cottage on the Hill

The portfolio is completed by Cottage on the Hill, a custom Cape, built in 2004.  This three-bedroom Block Island home for sale is situated on an elevated site offering spectacular ocean views and the convenience of being close to town. 

All three listings are colisted with the Block Island firm of Sullivan Real Estate. Offering prices range from $4,800,000 to $1,850,000.
