Portlanders are no strangers to scenic waterfronts, but LUXE&Sol is introducing a concept that redefines luxury living on the water. The innovative real estate brand, known for its watertop villas, is making waves with an ambitious international expansion, offering affluent buyers a chance to experience an extraordinary lifestyle that blends high-end design with immersive natural beauty. While Portland’s rivers and coastal views are a hallmark of local living, LUXE&Sol is taking waterfront luxury to a whole new level by allowing homeowners to live directly on the water—literally.

Founded by visionary Eric Metzger, LUXE&Sol has quickly made a name for itself by introducing homes that offer more than just proximity to water; these villas are built on the water, providing an unmatched living experience that combines modern architecture with the tranquility of nature. The watertop villas are anchored securely to the sea floor, using advanced hydraulic-powered spuds that ensure stability while offering the sensation of being above the waves.

“As a company, we wanted to create something that pushes the boundaries of traditional luxury real estate,” says Metzger. “Waterfront properties have always been highly sought after, but we took it a step further by allowing residents to live directly on the water, surrounded by nature, while enjoying the highest level of luxury and modern conveniences.”

Watertop Villas That Redefine Luxury

LUXE&Sol’s watertop villas offer a lifestyle that’s hard to find elsewhere. Each villa features more than 2,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, including two spacious bedrooms, two luxurious bathrooms, and an expansive rooftop deck equipped with a hot tub and summer kitchen. With floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase panoramic views of the surrounding water, these homes are designed to create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Whether you’re hosting an intimate rooftop gathering or simply enjoying the sunset in solitude, the experience feels like a personal retreat in the heart of nature.

But these villas aren’t just about beauty—they’re built with sustainability and innovation at their core. Each home is outfitted with energy-efficient systems, including solar-powered technologies, allowing residents to enjoy luxury living without sacrificing environmental responsibility. This commitment to sustainability is a major selling point for eco-conscious buyers who want their homes to reflect their values.

“As more buyers prioritize sustainability, we’ve made it a key focus in our designs,” Metzger explains. “Our watertop villas are not only luxurious but also built with the latest green technologies to minimize their environmental impact while maximizing comfort.”

International Expansion Takes Luxury Global

While LUXE&Sol has already found success in the U.S., particularly in high-end markets like Miami, the company’s international expansion is taking its watertop villas to some of the world’s stunning coastal destinations. As part of this expansion, LUXE&Sol is rolling out just 125 of these exclusive homes across the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia—regions known for their appeal to luxury buyers and natural beauty.

“The decision to expand internationally was driven by the demand we’ve seen from buyers who want something unique, something that allows them to escape the every day and truly connect with nature,” says Metzger. “These locations are perfect for our villas because they offer breathtaking scenery and a lifestyle that’s in high demand among affluent buyers.”

For Portlanders accustomed to the picturesque beauty of the Pacific Northwest, the appeal of owning a LUXE&Sol villa in an exotic locale is undeniable. Whether nestled in a serene marina or perched on the shores of a tropical island, these homes provide the ultimate combination of privacy, luxury, and connection to the natural world.

An Exclusive Opportunity for High-End Buyers

LUXE&Sol’s villas offer more than just a unique lifestyle—they’re also an exclusive investment. With only 125 villas being produced as part of the international expansion, owning one of these homes is a rare opportunity that combines luxury living with long-term value. In a market where waterfront properties are increasingly scarce, LUXE&Sol’s watertop villas offer a creative solution for high-net-worth buyers who are looking to invest in something different.

“Scarcity is a key factor in the luxury real estate market, and with LUXE&Sol’s limited production, these villas are poised to become highly sought-after,” says luxury real estate expert Maria Thomas. “For buyers who are looking for a unique investment that offers both lifestyle and long-term value, these watertop homes are an incredible opportunity.”

What’s Next for LUXE&Sol?

As the brand continues to expand globally, LUXE&Sol remains committed to pushing the boundaries of what luxury real estate can offer. The company is already exploring new designs and concepts that further integrate sustainability, technology, and exclusive living. With the success of its initial expansion, LUXE&Sol is well-positioned to lead the next wave of innovation in luxury real estate.

“We’re always thinking about how we can continue to innovate and deliver something new to our clients,” says Metzger. “Whether it’s through new technology, more sustainable practices, or expanding to even more exclusive locations, our goal is to stay at the forefront of luxury living.”

For Portlanders who appreciate both modern design and natural beauty, LUXE&Sol’s watertop villas offer the perfect blend of both. With the company’s international expansion now in full swing, the chance to own one of these watertop homes in some of the world’s beautiful locations is more exciting than ever.

As LUXE&Sol, a division of MRLO Partners, continues to revolutionize the luxury real estate market, the brand’s watertop villas represent the future of high-end living—where innovation meets nature and exclusivity is paramount. For those seeking a truly unique investment, these homes are more than just real estate—they’re a lifestyle and one that’s now available on a global stage.
