Few properties carry a story like Sagamore Farm.

Founded 101 years ago by Baltimore industrial wealth, transformed by Alfred G. Vanderbilt Jr. into a Thoroughbred racing and breeding dynasty, and later restored by Under Armour founder Kevin Plank, who reportedly invested more than $22 million in the land and facilities, the 524-acre estate sits at the heart of Maryland horse country.

Sagamore is not just a historic farm for sale — it is a rare chance to inherit one of the last intact chapters of American horse racing history.

🇲🇪 This 4-bedroom with terraces facing the entrance to the Bay of Kotor and the fairways of a .player designed golf course is listed with .sothebys.realty

On a stretch of Montenegro’s Adriatic coast between open sea and the entrance to the Bay of Kotor, Luštica Bay is taking shape as one of Southeast Europe’s most ambitious coastal developments.

Its newest residential address, The Peaks, brings private homes into direct relationship with Montenegro’s first 18-hole championship golf course, a layout designed by Gary Player, the South African golf legend and nine-time major champion.

For international buyers, Montenegro occupies a compelling position in the European property landscape. It remains earlier in its luxury-market maturity than the French Riviera, the Amalfi Coast, the Balearics, or parts of Croatia, while offering a comparable Adriatic lifestyle of sea, mountains, superyacht marinas, UNESCO-protected coastal towns, resort infrastructure, and growing international access.

At Luštica Bay, that positioning is being translated into a master-planned coastal community built around marina life, beaches, hospitality, and now championship golf.

Beds: 4 Baths: 3 + 1 Interior: 322 m² / 3,466 ft² Exclusive-use area: 148 m² / 1,593 ft² Land: 1,226 m² / 0.30 acres Pool: 34 m² / 366 ft²
Amenities: Private swimming pool, garage, internal storage, open-plan living room with fireplace, Miele kitchen, office, laundry room, technical room, terraces facing the entrance to the Bay of Kotor and golf holes, access to beaches and Luštica Bay amenities.
