The newest release for The Business of Extraordinary Living, the micro-site on WSJ.com, is available now by clicking here.
In this latest issue articles include:
One of the most exciting things in this issue is the Lifestyle Comparison – Mountain on the Insights tab. It compares a great property listed by Cathy Benson and Karen Redden on 757 Ridge Road, Crested Butte to a home in Sandpoint, Idaho. Of course we believe that there is no comparison that 757 Ridge Road is an excellent property with views that literally go on for miles and miles.
As a matter of fact 757 Ridge Road is such a great property that it just recently went under contract and is slated to close next month.
