Engel & Völkers lists residence of Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button in California

  • ‘Casa Encanto‘ estate in Calabasas hits the market for 7.9 million US dollars

Hamburg, 25 January 2024. Engel & Völkers is selling the property of Formula 1 star Jenson Button and his wife Brittny Button in Calabasas, California, with an asking price of 7.9 million US dollars (approx. 7.3 million euros). The hacienda-style residence showcases a blend of traditional influences, contemporary design and luxurious finishes. “We renovated Casa Encanto extensively in 2021. We stuck with a tonal palette to create an airy atmosphere with the remodel. Our aim was not to create just a home, but a retreat, providing an oasis of calm in contrast to the bustling daily routine and city life,” says Brittny Button, interior designer and wife of Jenson Button.

The property is being brokered by Jaime Krupnick, real estate advisor at Engel & Völkers Westlake Village.

Casa Encanto: West Coast flair meets hacienda chic and laid-back elegance

The 2.3 acre (approx. 23,000 square meter) “Casa Encanto” (meaning “charming house”) is located in Calabasas, just outside Los Angeles. Thanks to its scenic and secluded location in the mountains, as well as its many leisure pursuits and exclusive homes, Calabasas is one of the most sought-after places to live among Hollywood’s elite and other internationally famous stars.

A long private driveway leads to this beautifully crafted legacy estate, which features a white stone façade in the style of a traditional Spanish country house. The expansive interior spans some 8,400 square feet (approx. 780 square meters) in total, with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a spacious living area, a designer chef’s kitchen, walk-in closets, a custom lounge and bar area, as well as a separate home gym. Some highlights include the central living space, which is flooded with natural light and features high ceilings and an open-plan layout leading to the gallery on the upper level. Various sitting areas and a modern marble fireplace emphasize the combination here of casual comfort and elegant flair. Large, black-framed patio doors open to a backyard oasis featuring a covered terrace and resort-style private pool enveloped with greenery and seasonal florals with panoramic mountain views.

In September 2021, Brittny Button and her team set about redesigning and modernizing the 1980s villa entirely, taking care to preserve its original character. Particular attention was paid to the interplay between linear design, organic shapes and contrasting accents: The calming cream plaster of the walls works in harmony with the warmth of the exposed beams, the abundance of natural materials and the black frames throughout. The spa-like bathrooms feature wash basins carved out of natural stone, while the chef’s kitchen is entirely clad in natural wood and ideal for socializing with friends and family. “Every room makes you feel like you’re in Majorca and California all at the same time. Jenson and Brittny Button have an incredible sense of how to make a home both aesthetically pleasing, and yet also cozy and inviting. Properties with an unmatched attention to detail and such a high caliber in terms of quality standards rarely come on the market, even in Los Angeles,” says Jaime Krupnick.

The interior furnishings can be purchased individually on request.

About Jenson Button

British-born Jenson Button (*1980 Somerset, England) became a global phenomenon thanks to his motorsport career, which began in 1998 in formula racing, before he graduated to Formula 1 in 2000.

Engel & Völkers expands to Panama

  • Engel & Völkers opens at second location in Central America with new office in Panama City 

Hamburg, 9 October 2023. Engel & Völkers continues its international course of expansion with a branch opening in the capital of Panama at the beginning of October. This is the second market entry this year in Central America for the global real estate company from Hamburg, Germany, after its entry into Costa Rica.

Real estate expert Ciara Caponi and her team will operate under Engel & Völkers Panama in Panama City. “We are very excited to open Engel & Völkers in Panama and be moving forward with our global growth so successfully,” says Anthony Hitt, CEO of Engel & Völkers Americas, who stresses: “Ciara Caponi and her team already have many years of experience operating in the Panamanian real estate market. With Ciara Caponi’s international expertise, passion for real estate and a world-class portfolio, she and her team will be the top address for premium property services in Panama.”

International real estate buyers increasingly turning their focus to Panama

A strategically advantageous location, growing demand and favourable fiscal and legal structures are all distinctive hallmarks of the real estate market in Panama. Besides its political stability, the country, which forms a land bridge between Central and South America, also offers an excellent quality of life, good infrastructure and a diverse topography. Another key advantage is the official US dollar currency, which makes Panama an attractive investment location for international buyers.


Meanwhile, the majority of international prospective buyers in Panama come from the US, Canada, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Spain. Their interest focuses on high-end apartments, residential properties and land with potential for development. “Panama’s advantages as a residential and investment location are still underestimated abroad, however the level of interest is growing. Now with the global presence and strength of Engel & Völkers, combined with our local expertise, we will put Panama on the international real estate map and take the market to a new level entirely,” says Ciara Caponi, who adds, “We recognise Panama’s superb potential for international property buyers and offer bespoke services for those looking for a second home or investment opportunity here.”

The team at Engel & Völkers Panama is specialised in the sale and rental of exclusive residential and commercial properties in the most sought-after and up-and-coming locations across the country and in the capital, including Costa del Este, Santa Maria, Avenida Balboa, Casco Antiguo, Marbella, San Francisco, Coco Del Mar, Boquete, Coclé and Pedasí.

Thessaloniki real estate market: A dynamic up-and-coming city drawing international attention 

  • Top prices per square metre reach 10,000 euros in city centre 
  • Chalkidiki region is a Greek holiday and property hotspot in 2023 

Hamburg, 6 July 2023. Greece’s second largest city Thessaloniki is located some 520 kilometres north of Athens, in the region of Central Macedonia in the north of the country. At the moment, the city on the Thermaic Gulf is currently often only known among country enthusiasts among those interested in real estate, even though the urban port city is now one of the most up-and-coming real estate markets in Europe. “Thessaloniki is the pulsating heart of Greece, and more and more people are recognising its potential. Around 15 percent of property buyers come from abroad – and this number is on the rise. The more tourists come to Thessaloniki, the more people want to buy real estate there. Many are surprised by the vibrant flair of the city, the wide range of properties and moderate prices,” says Georg Petras, CEO Engel & Völkers Greece.

Property prices in city centre have risen by 20 percent on average

Compared to the cosmopolitan capital Athens, Thessaloniki is better known for its casual flair. The city’s blend of hip, young cultural scene and centuries-old heritage, along with its location directly by the sea, makes Thessaloniki unique and is attracting ever-greater international attention. Approximately 15 percent of property buyers now come from abroad, compared to 4 percent in 2018. The majority of these clients come from the DACH region (37.9 percent), Israel (7.3 percent) and the USA (6.4 percent), which has been investing particularly heavily in Greece since last year – due to the low euro exchange rate and the strength of the US dollar. A quarter of foreign transactions in Greece can be attributed to US citizens alone in 2022. The steadily growing influx of national and international capital, meanwhile, is being fuelled by Thessaloniki’s significance as the most important port and transport hub in the Balkan region. According to Statista, Greece’s gross domestic product is expected to grow steadily by a total of 37.4 billion US dollars (+15.63 percent) over the next five years. Moreover, the government’s recent reforms, such as speedier processing of foreign permit procedures, tax incentives and good golden visa conditions, have significantly increased Greece’s appeal. A trend that is having a positive impact on Thessaloniki’s real estate market: “Thessaloniki is more desirable as an investment location than ever before: the city has been on a noticeably upward trajectory for several years now, and more and more capital is being generated and moved here,” Georg Petras reveals. The average price per square metre in Thessaloniki is currently approx. 2,350 euros, a year-on-year increase of approx. 20 percent (first half of 2022: 1,960 euros).
Neighbourhoods in the centre, surrounding the historic heart of the city, rank among Thessaloniki’s most desirable and expensive residential areas. These areas are especially popular with young buyers, due to the immediate vicinity to the city’s main sights, the vibrant bar and restaurant scene, and eclectic mix of architectural styles. Refurbished apartments spanning 50 to 80 square metres of living space are especially popular here. The increased demand from expats and young buyers for properties in the centre for short-term rental has seen interest grow in properties for sale as an investment with high ROI potential. As a result, the average price per square metre directly in the centre has risen by approx. 21 percent year-on-year (first half of 2023: 2,710 euros per square metre / first half of 2022: 2,230 euros per square metre). Premium properties can command top prices of up to 10,000 euros per square metre. Further away from the centre, the Thermi-Panorama, Kalamaria and Thermaikos districts in the southeast of the city are also sought-after residential locations, popular with families and travellers alike due to their new shopping malls, good schools and proximity to the airport. Average prices per square metre here range between 1,574 and 2,659 euros. Top asking prices for contemporary villas with sea views reach 3.5 million euros.

Chalkidiki – Island flair not far from bustle of the big city

Around 60 minutes by car to the east of Thessaloniki’s centre lies the peninsula of Chalkidiki, which is famous for its three headlands with over 550 kilometres of coastline, Mediterranean forests and golden sandy beaches. Although the region is one of the country’s classic holiday regions, it is still comparatively less frequented as a real estate location. “Chalkidiki boasts picture-postcard idylls and is the absolute Greek hotspot of the moment in 2023. This is because, compared to other popular locations such as Mykonos, the availability of properties is still keeping up with the level of demand,” says Georg Petras, adding, “With easier lending by Greek banks to foreign buyers, we are registering strong international demand, especially for properties worth in excess of 1 million euros.”
The top 3 locations on the peninsula are the picturesque villages of Pefkochori, Hanioti and Nikiti. Top prices per square metre of over 4,000 euros are paid for contemporary apartments. Villas directly by the sea can reach asking prices of up to 5.5 million euros.

Around 30 percent of international clients here come from Northern Europe, Israel and the USA. They are especially interested in villas along the coast or popular spots like Nikiti.

Outlook: Exciting future prospects and lively market dynamics

Engel & Völkers forecasts that the Thessaloniki market will continue to see dynamic growth over the next six months. In particular, the growing purchasing power from abroad will form a vital pillar in the development of the port city on the Aegean Sea. “Thessaloniki is a thriving location for sound capital investment. The potential for value appreciation is still very good compared to many other cities, as is the availability of real estate. The prospering economy promises growth and vitality, with an authentic quality of life that is attracting expats from all over the world. Thessaloniki will play an increasingly prominent role on the international real estate stage in the medium to long term,” Georg Petras concludes.

Sea view Maisonette in Thessaloniki East

Engel & Völkers is currently marketing this unique Maisonette in Thessaloniki East for 690,000 euros. The property boasts incredible views with its amazing location situated in a beautiful forest, with panoramic views of the entire Gulf of Thessaloniki. The apartment has a total living area of 240 square metres, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and an open plan living area with sliding door access to the terrace which overlooks the surrounding hills and the port.

Engel & Völkers lists largest château in Provence for 18 million euros

  • Property listed for its historic significance is set in 16 acres of parkland
  • The magnificent interiors include ballrooms, state rooms and Renaissance furnishings 

Hamburg, 1 March 2023. Not far from the French Riviera, in the heart of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, lies the Renaissance château “La Verdiére”, which is currently on the market with Engel & Völkers for an asking price of 18 million euros. The estate dates as far back as the 10th century and is listed as an historic monument. It has been owned over the centuries by some of the most influential noble dynasties in Provence. In addition to its long and rich heritage, the château is particularly impressive for its sheer size and interior treasures. There are over 120 rooms spanning more than 5,000 square metres in total, including numerous ballrooms, as well as various state salons, boudoirs and libraries. The 16-acre park estate features French-style gardens, a horse-riding arena of Olympic dimensions, a helipad, two swimming pools, a spa, and some eight acres of “restanques” suitable for planting vines. “The imposing perimeter walls of the ‘Château de la Verdière’ can be seen from afar. It is a veritable jewel from a historical and architectural viewpoint, and an absolute rarity – even for connoisseurs of heritage estates. The future owners will acquire not only an important piece of Provençal history but also the most beautiful view in the entire region. The property is being offered on the market with its entire interior inventory,” reveals Marie-Claire Sangouard, Managing Director of the Engel & Völkers Market Center at the Côte d’Azur.

Exceptional estate with thousand-year history in the heart of Provence

The “Château de la Verdiére” is located in the middle of the Verdon Natural Park, just under an hour’s drive from Marseille and around 90 minutes from Saint-Tropez and Cannes. Thanks to its raised position above the village of Verdière, the property affords a unique 360-degree panoramic view across the region’s picturesque valleys. Its vast dimensions secure the estate’s reputation as the largest château in Provence. “The aristocratic Castellane family originally built a medieval fortress here at the highest point in this small village. It was then first expanded in the 13th century, before the Forbin dynasty transformed it into a magnificent château in the 17th century. Around 20 years ago, the current owner acquired the listed estate and set about devoting his life’s work to restoring it together with experts,” says Marie-Claire Sangouard, adding, “As it stands today, the château is hard to beat in terms of classical beauty, and it also has all the modern-day comforts one could wish for.”

The 5,000-square-foot interiors are set over five levels in total – with 120 rooms including 25 en suite bedrooms, three kitchens, several different boudoirs, and libraries. The splendid main ballroom, which is more than 30 metres in length, and the state salons feature priceless furnishings, original artworks and historic finishes dating back to the Renaissance period. Historic tapestries adorn the walls and the finest stucco decorations forms a recurring feature throughout the entire property. The château is especially renowned for its magnificent 18th century plasterwork, which is regarded as one of the finest and largest examples of its kind in the whole of France. There are a number of large terraces surrounding the château, each boasting breathtaking views of the surrounding Provençal countryside. Particularly appealing outdoor highlights include the elegant French gardens complete with water features, statues and an orangery. “The château is unique in every way. It is now looking for new custodians with a great passion for such a rare cultural gem. It is currently used as a private property and only occasionally opened to the public – for events like night walks and haute couture exhibitions. The new owner has the option of using the property entirely for commercial purposes though,” Marie-Claire Sangouard adds.
