nown globally as a successful businessman, Jon Huntsman, Sr., served as special assistant to President Richard Nixon and is recognized as one of the nation’s Kmost generous philanthropists. His new resort community in Driggs, Idaho, is made up of top-notch golf, distinctive homes and superb amenities with the majestic Grand Tetons as a stunning backdrop. No surprise, Huntsman Springs is already winning national acclaim — you would expect that with the Huntsman name and solid financial backing. Talk to anyone involved with the project, and it’s all about quality and a long-term commitment. For five-time cancer survivor Jon Huntsman, it’s personal. All profits are going to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation. “Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City is known as having the highest quality in the world with superior research facilities,” says Huntsman. “Anything we’ve done as a family is done with quality and a generous human context. With Huntsman Springs I thought long and hard, and wanted to attach our name and spend decades building a major resort and family recreational area.”

Huntsman Springs will offer a spectrum of relaxing, top-notch enticements, all designed to make memories. “We have beautiful homes, similar to Jackson Hole (on the east side of the Grand Tetons, just 45 minutes away), but less expensive,” he says. “Huntsman Springs is the perfect family outing, without the turmoil and traffic of Jackson. We’ve built it so you can walk into Driggs with lovely stores and fun restaurants — it’s a vacation spot for the future. Huntsman Springs will be a less tourist-oriented place with activities for families to enjoy.” Eight lakes on the property are filled with rainbow trout for a catch-and-release experience, and residents can take a wilderness walk on the world’s longest boardwalk through the 500-acre protected wetlands area, go horseback riding or head to nearby Grand Targhee ski resort just 12 miles away. Classes offered at Huntsman Springs include photography, cooking, wine tasting and painting, along with fitness-focused yoga, Pilates, water aerobics and a hiking club. The Huntsmans are moving a collection of classic

cars and museum-worthy Native American artifacts to the community. Huntsman Springs Golf Club is the centerpiece of the resort. “I told David McLay Kidd before the recession to leave no stone unturned to make it the finest course in America, a destination place for golfers intrigued by the uniqueness of Bandon Dunes (Oregon)...but superior even to that course,” says Huntsman. “Even though we had to build it through the recession, we did not cut corners and gave Mr. Kidd all the resources to put in one of the greatest courses in the world. It is a remarkable golf course, one that will be remembered for many years.” David Huntsman, Jon’s son and the community’s CEO, says, “Our initial concern about not being from a golf background was unfounded as we relied on David Kidd and his team, who promised to give us something that would stand the test of time and be interesting 10 to 20 years from now. He delivered on his promise and the response has been Golf Course Architect David McLay Kidd overwhelmingly positive.”

superintendent Guy Johnson with course conditioning that is “second-to-none.” “Huntsman Springs is a great place not only to come and visit but to make home,” David says. Homes currently represent a second or third residence for most members, fulfilling the vision of a cherished, extended mountain-getaway experience. Home sites up to three- quarters of an acre start at $295,000, and 23 homes have been built with a comfortable, upscale-rustic look — and some are still available to buy. Designed by award-winning architect Larry Berlin, houses range from 2,450 to 5,300 square feet and offer assorted gorgeous views of the golf course, water and mountains. Built to the highest standards, the homes feature hardwood floors and granite counters, heated-tile bathrooms and highest-quality kitchen appliances. Members aren’t subjected to added fees. “It’s the club of the future,” says Snoey. “Golf lessons are complimentary and unlimited. We don’t charge cart, locker or storage fees, and members have the ability to leave (without penalty) at any time. Adult children of members can stay connected to Temporary Clubshouse the club through our Legacy Membership. We want to keep generations together.”

The course is already on national “best” lists, even though its official opening was just last July. “It’s amazing and one of a kind, truly jaw dropping,” says Operations Manager Tony Snoey. “Fescue grows knee-high and transitions throughout the summer from reddish-purple to golden. [The course] makes you think on every shot with 153 bunkers and water of some form on 15 of 18 holes.” The layout plays from 5,400 to 7,300 yards and retains a natural Scottish- links look, but there are trees in the surrounding wetlands and native areas. Greens can be a massive 10,000 square feet. “It’s a big valley, so big, so massive you stand there and feel so small but one with nature. Big, wide fairways and big greens fit. Small course features would look out of place.” Snoey says guests playing the course for the first time have extended their stay at Huntsman Springs in order to play it again, telling him, “That was the most fun I’ve ever had on a golf course.” the course offers with water, bunkers and The Huntsmans have reached out to be While a mountain-golf season can be vistas, with an opening tee shot people a part of Driggs, providing the county with a dictated by weather, daily play here can remember,” says Snoey. “No. 15’s green is new courthouse on the Huntsman Springs extend past 9 p.m. Even with its “18 80 yards long from front to back, and No. property, plus eight parks throughout the signature holes” design, there are some 18 is a drivable Par 4 that can upset your town.

airport just a quarter-mile down from Huntsman Springs offers easy resort access year-round. Driggs sports a super-deluxe grocery store with fresh sushi, plus a corner drugstore churning out old- fashioned milkshakes and a renowned lime-freeze. Snoey says, “Conversations with total strangers can happen in stores, the post office and restaurants. That doesn’t happen anywhere else. David sums up: “This isn’t a project we’ve taken on because we need the money or have a profit expectation. My father announced publicly that all income would go toward cancer research at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Our motives are different — we make sure our commitment is to the community and giving back to mankind, making society a better place.” James Kidd, Jon Huntsman, Karen Huntsman, David McLay Kidd and David Huntsman For more information visit us at HuntsmanSprings.com , or call us at “We’re not the normal developer...not Huntsman Springs has become the 877.354.9660. developers at all,” says David. “It’s not Huntsman family’s home away from home, something we normally do.

ccording to the Golf Research Group, which tracks the create a spectacular “old west” feel. industry, golf-course homes are three times as valuable This area is a recreation paradise. Whether you love horseback as the average U.S. home. Golf-course living definitely riding, hiking, sightseeing, mountain climbing or skiing you can Ahas its advantages. A study by the Longitudes Group find it here. Nearby Trinidad Lake is a favorite spot for boating, also found that golf properties hold their value more than other fishing and water sports. And downtown Trinidad, sometimes real estate, even in the same zip code. called the “Victorian Jewel of Southern Colorado,“ has grown into “Lot values on golf courses have a 40-percent premium over a cultural and arts hub. Walking down Main Street visitors find other lots in the neighborhood,” said Sara Killeen of the Longitudes painters, sculptors, musicians and other artists who have Group. “Even when a market is really getting hammered, people discovered a high quality of life in a spectacular yet affordable will find a golf-course home more appealing than a non-golf home. setting. A golf home is going to out-perform a non-golf home almost every Cougar Canyon is slated to have a myriad of amenities, time.” everything one would expect in a resort community from excellent dining to a wonderful spa. There’s a community recreation center that features fitness facilities, swimming pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, volleyball courts and sprawling lawns for croquet and casual picnics. Close to eight miles of walking trails and paved recreational paths will wind through the community, providing exercise stations and stops along the way for rest and reflection. Semi-custom homes start in the high $200s and golf- course home sites start in the low $100s. Cougar Canyon is a very affordable option for those looking for a golf-course community. It incorporates the considerable history, charm and character of Trinidad along with the amenities and lifestyle of a resort community—but without the price tag normally associated with a resort of this caliber. cougarcanyonliving.com

Cougar Canyon

One interesting fact about golf-course living is that 40 percent of the owners in homes that back to a course do not even play golf. Many obvious factors contribute to the higher numbers for golf-course properties, including a beautifully manicured park-like setting out your back door that you do not have to maintain. There is also the fact that you do not have neighbors behind you so you get considerably more privacy and you have live entertainment from dawn to dusk.

he power to choose is a wonderful thing. Choosing a winding road on a fresh spring day behind the wheel of the latest Jaguar XK would be the perfect choice for T2011. Jaguar needs little in the way of introduction. Celebrity status is well established and the wow factor is ever-present on any model emerging from the Jaguar factory. For brands with a long history of excellence, dropping jaws may get more difficult over time. Yet after 75 years in auto making, Jaguar still has the teeth to make models that raise your blood pressure and bring back the childlike joy in driving. The Jaguar XK has options that give every driver something to drool over. Do you want coupe or convertible, 385 horsepower or 500? The list is long and heart pounding.

The XK coupe comes standard with a 5-liter, 385 horsepower engine. A 0-to-60 time of five seconds speaks to the lightweight frame and expertly crafted aerodynamics. Choose the engine upgrade — the XKR package — and you get 510 horsepower. The XKR tuning gives the engine a top speed of nearly 175 miles per hour, making it the fastest Jaguar ever made. The six-speed transmission is silks and gears. Jaguar’s trademarked Sequential Shift gives drivers Drive, Sport Automatic or Manual gearshift modes. Shift paddles mounted behind the steering wheel control gear changes manually if you want a little more control. Whizzing through the gears is easy on drivers and passengers with Jag’s suspension design. “Adaptive Dynamics” is the company’s name for keeping the ride from sending you to a chiropractor. More than 500 times per second, the computer tests road conditions, speed and environment to electronically adjust comfort. Dampers in the suspension make the ride feel more like clouds than asphalt. Tighten or soften the suspension to your taste with the push of a button. Also, know you have the safety of stability control working

and then a bit more. Naturally, the XK line is equipped with an iPod connector and advanced blue-tooth features. The Bowers and Wilkins sound system runs on a 525-watt amplifier. Those are the specs. The sound is pure emotion. Every delicate note has its place in these speakers, and the cabin seems built to give the system a place of emphasis. Everything about the entertainment features tells you that the designers thought first of drivers and then built to suit their needs. Driving through mountains or across the flatlands, the Jaguar XK is equipped for whatever the road can throw at you.

Lashbrook Designs at Hephaestus fine Jewelry

es folks, the Mr. T look is gone. But “ice” has been replaced with bling, typically one large “rope” Hephaestus (necklace) with a huge insignia covered in diamonds Ywill suffice. Throw in some earrings, a bracelet, top grill and that man has style. What’s a grill you ask? A cover that fits over the top or bottom row of teeth in silver, gold or diamonds and, yes, it’s considered jewelry. If you think these looks might not fit the country club crowd, think again. The look is there but in a subtly elegant way. From earrings to bracelets, necklaces to piercings, men are wearing jewelry more than ever. Just forget the girly associations; men like their hardware to have a manly image, so words like “bracelet” and “necklace” are out. As with women’s jewelry, the trends for men are constantly changing and 2011 is no exception. This season grey is the new black, says Jef Timms, owner of Hephaestus ( hephaestusps.com ) in Palm Springs, Calif. “Grey metal titanium is poised for a huge push this coming year because of its durability and lightweight nature, replacing the heavier and more corrosive metals such as steel and iron.” Discovered in the 1790s and named after Titan in Greek mythology, titanium has remained affordable while precious metals prices are at historic highs, allowing a wide range of people to wear the latest accessories made with it. “Gone is the age where men occasionally wear jewelry,” explains Tamra Gentry Timms. “Today’s men are experiencing a wonderful artistic bracelet, pendant or ring, and enjoying it daily. Cufflinks are also back, and have become the perfect complement for today’s modern men’s watch collectors.” The hottest look for rings is the tension-style design that showcases a diamond floating between the two ends of a titanium circle that has been cut. Approximately 4,000 pounds of pressure holds the diamond in place, and depending on the size of the diamond, prices may start low and escalate to thousands. As fashionable as the grey metals are, designers are also using glass, crystals, Lucite, pearls, leather and anodized stainless steel to create a very sophisticated look. Another super hot look (but less available) is jewelry featuring rough-cut and off- color diamonds, as well as Chocolate Gold from Italy. Used extensively in the collections of Italian jewelry designers de Grisogono, Licia Mattioli and Gruosi, Chocolate Gold is beautiful with any skin tone and the true jewelry lover with de Grisogono discerning taste is guaranteed to fall in love with it. Novantatre N08 watch The concept of green or eco-friendly has finally made its way into jewelry design. More and more designers, including Mari & Lani Davis, Alex and Ani and Tamra Gentry to name a few, are concerned with “recycle and reuse” philosophies in their designs, with the result that interesting and exciting “green” jewelry is popping up everywhere. Speaking of green, or rather greens, men’s jewelry is now offered for sale in elite and trendy golf shops around the world, thanks to the fact that men of varying ages are acquiring pieces and wearing them on and off some of the most exclusive golf courses. Whether hundreds or thousands of dollars, men’s hardware is just as important as a great set of golf clubs — just don’t call it jewelry.
