Sales at Cinnamon Shore South ‘Next Phase’ Event Prove High Demand for Luxury Real Estate on the Texas Coast

  With unprecedented sales at its Next Phase event over Columbus Day Weekend, Cinnamon Shore Realty proved once again that there’s a strong demand for luxury living on the Texas Coast. 

Port Aransas, TX, October 16, 2020 — With unprecedented sales at its Next Phase event over Columbus Day Weekend, Cinnamon Shore Realty proved once again that there’s a strong demand for luxury living on the Texas Coast. 

A sister to the original Cinnamon Shore development nearby, Cinnamon Shore South is a master-planned, New Urban community on the Gulf, and it’s sprouted into its own robust, coastal village. The brand-new section almost sold out in just two days, as Cinnamon Shore Realty revealed great pricing on 35 new homes sites, 11 charming cottages, and 10, larger beach homes already under construction. Every cottage, almost every single home, and half of the home sites sold over the Columbus Day weekend. 

“It’s always gratifying to connect families with their beach homes, and the Cinnamon Shore lifestyle elicits a strong response among people who love the coast,” said Jodi Peters, broker at Cinnamon Shore Realty. 

At the Next Phase Reveal, buyers vied for the opportunity to build on their favorite sites, and many wrote contracts on the spot for homes with blueprints they couldn’t resist. Some of the plans can now be modified to work on other available home sites at South. If homebuyers want to design and build their own home, they may work with their own architects to present plans to the town planner and architectural review board. “It’s the master plan of Cinnamon Shore that preserves the integrity and charm of our community,” Peters said, “and it’s the great design and details in our homes and community that attract families and investors to our town.” 

Another new phase will be released in coming months. In the meantime, those still interested in the remaining lots from the Columbus Day Weekend event can contact Cinnamon Shore Realty at 361.749.1851 or jodi@cinnamonshore.com. “We have many more inquiries to respond to this week, and we really expect this new phase to sell out in just a few weeks,” Peters said. 

Record Sales at Cinnamon Shore 

Buyer interest has been high in 2020, with 65 properties sold by summer’s end. With the brisk sales at South over Columbus Day Weekend and very little inventory available at North, it’s clear that Cinnamon Shore has found a ready segment of second home buyers in Texas. They’re coming primarily from Texas metro areas, within two-and-a half to five or six hours driving distance. “People are looking closer to home for their family vacation spot, and Cinnamon Shore offers something that hasn’t been available on the Texas Coast for very long—a community with a quality architecture, sophisticated interiors, small-town charm, and resort amenities,” Peters said. 

With 150 Gulf-front acres and a thoughtful masterplan, Cinnamon Shore South is about three times as large as 63-acre Cinnamon Shore North, which was established in 2006. South broke ground in Fall 2018 and already has more than 25 homes completed or under construction. It centers around a 7-acre lake; a resort pool complex; and its own Town Center.

Carmel Valley Expressionist Artist Patricia Qualls’ Artwork in High Demand Nationally, Internationally

From humble beginnings on a farm, to a Ph.d., and an internationally collected artist, there is an underlying theme that has resonated throughout artist Patricia Qualls' life: the privilege of life long learning, hard work and perseverance.

Carmel Valley, CA, January 18, 2016 — From humble beginnings on a farm, to a Ph.d., and an internationally collected artist, there is an underlying theme that has resonated throughout artist Patricia Qualls' life: the privilege of life long learning, hard work and perseverance.

Qualls is a nationally and internationally known expressionist artist with art in collections in Switzerland as well as in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Phoenix, Dallas, Vail, Sun Valley and Palm Desert, among others. Her work is also part of the George Blair permanent collection at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento.

Qualls' paintings are large scale and bold. Some of her series' emphasize powerful strokes of color and texture, while others are more subtle with washes of cream and shades of white. While her style is unique, some of her series could be likened to styles found in the great expressionist artists of the early-to-mid 20th century such as Sam Francis, Helen Frankenthaler, Hassel Smith, Joan Mitchell and Jackson Pollock.

She opened Patricia Qualls Contemporary Art, a 1,400-square-foot studio/gallery in 2008 in Carmel Valley Village in Monterey County. The studio/gallery's large, open-beamed ceiling with 15-foot walls allowed her to produce the large scale paintings.

“I love the physicality of painting large...There is something about being able to use my whole body, there is so much synergy...to have room to move...it's like dance...to be fully engaged with my whole being. I don't have to sit in a chair, and at the end of the day I feel like I've had a good days work. I am so blessed to be able to do this!”

Its no question where Qualls' work ethic comes from. “I grew up on a farm in Middle Tennessee and there's not much play time on a farm. We used to work seven days a week, which is what I do now as an artist at age 62. It's amazing that I have a profession that brings me such fulfillment,” says Qualls.

After life on the Tennessee farm, Qualls left for a job in Nashville. In 1980 she went on a blind date with a man who happened to be from Carmel. “That changed my life,” she says.

Qualls moved to Carmel, and began the process of personal growth and deep lifelong learning. The precious time with great therapists, kind professors and brilliant mentors opened the door to a life that seemed impossible to ever imagine.

She has an executive MBA from Pepperdine University and a Ph.D from the California Institute of Integral Studies.

Part of her passion as a therapist entailed holding “Life Presence” 4 day retreats. One of the retreats included a group of artists and it had a profound effect on her.

“I realized I needed to do something creative and playful,” she says.

So she took a class on “intuitive painting,” and that was all it took. She fell in love. To hear her tell it, “art found me.”

“I would go to the garage and paint every morning for 15 minutes,” she says. “Then I got obsessed. I got so excited I would get up at 4 in the morning and paint. I was just trying to find my own voice.” Waking before the sunrise was not new to Qualls, but, unlike waking to the crow of a rooster on her family farm as a child, she would now wake with a hunger to explore her new found passion.

Qualls delayed taking art classes or reading art books, just trusting her intuition and inner voice to guide her painting and style. This helped shape her artistic philosophy of experimentation: a willingness to play, free from self judgement or self scrutiny.

When she first started painting it was to get out her head and other people’s heads and to discover an outlet for her voice: a way to express herself that did not involve words.

And what cinched it was an art book on California Expressionists a friend had recommended she read.

Up until this point Qualls' desire for pure self expression—void of outside influence—had kept her from reading about abstraction. “But when I read that book I cried like a baby, I had found my people.”

Before long, her therapy practice gave way to painting full time, resulting in her opening her studio/gallery in Carmel Valley Village in 2008. She can usually be found working in her studio, experimenting with color, texture, brush strokes and various tools and techniques.

And, just as she wanted to help people as a therapist to access their emotional life, as an artist she wants people to access their creative life. She feels everyone is creative and that all they need is the space for them to express their need to express.

“I love the solitude of being in the studio by myself and love the emotions of the things that go on in people’s lives, quilting together pieces of other peoples’ stories and putting them together on a canvas,” she says. “Each painting tells a story. Life is not without work, there is dark and there is light and hope. My paintings are layers that move toward the light.”

When asked where her inspiration comes from, she said it comes from within and of course is influenced by the world we live... my job is to trust and stay engaged with the process.

“Inspiration lives inside of me, it's just a matter of letting it come out without judgment,” she says. “It comes knocking all the time. I can't do it fast enough, there's not enough time in the day. “I am so grateful that I get to run experiments all day long,” she says. “Where else can you do that? It is magic to watch the power of color and brushstrokes. Every day in my studio is a blessing to me.”
