Bringing a bit of nature into your home does more than brighten the atmosphere. Introducing houseplants into various rooms in the house can help reduce the chance of getting seasonal sicknesses (such as the common cold), remove airborne contaminants (volatile organic compounds or VOCs), reduce the chance of headaches, lift your mood, decrease your blood pressure, reduce allergies, improve sleep and much more. 

Motu Tane (which in Tahitian translates to “Man’s Island”) is well known in Bora Bora as having been Paul-Emile Victor’s home. Paul-Emile Victor was the famous French polar explorer and author; he chose as his personal paradise refuge Motu Tane in Bora Bora, to live a peaceful and secluded life. An exceptional private island at just under 47,800-square-yards with coconut groves, encircled by a white sand beach with Polynesia’s sparkling turquoise blue waters just beyond. This incredible vision is topped off with Bora Bora’s mountains, majestically etched against the backdrop, bringing to life nature’s exotic canvas. $50,000,000 USD

SARASOTA, Fla. (March 21, 2016) – The beginning of 2016 has seen some fluctuations in total sales and home prices as the housing market steadies itself after a record-breaking 2015. Even with a dip in sales, median home prices remain strong and the market appears solid.

​For the month of February, total sales in Sarasota County were down 6.4 percent with a 13.2 percent dip in single family sales offset by a 9.6 percent increase in condo sales. Similarly, in Manatee County, total sales were down a mere 2.4 percent, with a 10.7 percent decrease in single family sales offset by an impressive 19.5 percent increase in condo sales. More buyers may be considering condos because there are not as many single family listings under $200,000 as there are condo listings.
