The Luxury Edition

A curated collection of the world’s finest properties

A truly luxurious home is so much more than location and design. It’s the feeling you get when you arrive at the entrance. The visceral impact of the landscape or skyline. The lifestyle it affords. The sense of complete privacy and comfort. The sense of being at one with, yet separated from, the world around you. It’s a place to indulge in the luxuries that are personal to you—whether that’s waking up every morning to a breathtaking view, marveling at the most exquisite interior details, having the facilities to entertain at a grand scale or, simply, enough space to get lost in.

In this, the fourth in The Luxury Edition series from Christie’s International Real Estate, we invite you to take a tour inside some of the world’s most desirable homes through more than 100 pages of stunning photography and fascinating stories.

Explore the dramatic Jacobean estate Darlington—“America’s Versailles”—a short hop from New York City. Discover the masterpiece of celebrated designer Pierre Yovanovitch in the heart of Paris’s 7th arrondissement. And get absorbed in the romance of all 16 properties in this volume —the very best in design, locale, grandeur, and privacy. Each defines luxury in its own unique way.
