In a world where the pace of life seems to accelerate with each passing day, the allure of coastal living has never been stronger. From the tranquil shores of Bora Bora to the rugged coastline of the Pacific Northwest, there’s something inherently captivating about waking up to the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Now, with the emergence of LUXE & SOL, residents of coastal cities like Portland have the opportunity to experience this idyllic lifestyle firsthand.

LUXE & SOL, led by visionary Eric Metzger, is redefining luxury living with its innovative approach to coastal development. At the heart of this concept are water-top villas—exquisite residences perched atop the water, offering unparalleled views and a sense of serenity that is truly unmatched. As interest in this lifestyle continues to grow, I sat down with Eric Metzger to learn more about the inspiration behind LUXE & SOL and the unique opportunities it presents.

What inspired the creation of LUXE & SOL, and what sets it apart from other luxury developments?

LUXE & SOL was born out of a desire to bring the magic of coastal living to more people. We wanted to create a community where residents could experience the beauty of waterfront living without sacrificing the amenities and conveniences of urban life. What sets LUXE & SOL apart is our commitment to creating not just a development, but a lifestyle—one that celebrates the natural beauty of our coastal surroundings while providing residents with the luxury and comfort they deserve.

Can you tell us more about the concept of water-top villas and the lifestyle they offer?

Water-top villas are the epitome of luxury living. These stunning residences offer residents the opportunity to wake up to breathtaking views of the water, with the sound of waves serving as a constant reminder of the beauty that surrounds them. Whether it’s enjoying morning coffee on your private terrace or hosting a dinner party on your rooftop deck, the lifestyle at LUXE & SOL is all about embracing the beauty of coastal living and making lasting memories with family and friends.

How does LUXE & SOL cater to individuals interested in investing in this lifestyle?

LUXE & SOL offers investors a unique opportunity to own a piece of paradise and participate in the growing demand for luxury coastal properties. Our fractional ownership model allows investors to purchase a share of the property, providing them with exclusive access to their villa for a certain period each year. This not only makes luxury living more accessible but also offers the potential for significant returns on investment as property values continue to appreciate.
