From: John Brockman Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2011 1:43 PM To: Jeffrey Epstein Subject: Safra properties JE, JE, Below is the info on Jacqui Safra's properties for sale. One is the =herover REsidence, the alpha property in Jerusalem close by the =fficial residences of the President and Prime Minister. He's been =ffering it to Russian oligarch for $100,000,000 but know it will go for =ess. Second is prime property in Calistoga, CA, near his vineyard. He =ought it at the behest of the guy who owned Aman resorts. The idea was =o develop into a very high-end resort with private villas. Third is a =uge property in the gold mining area of Nevada. About (900 sq miles) - =0 miles long x 23 miles wide. 550,000 acres leased from the US =overnment; Jacqui owns 130,000 acres outright. Around the time Jobs came back to Apple, Jacqui almost made the =nvestment that was picked up by Gates. He says he had $3 billion in =ash in those days. A lot of it he's spent on properties and mostly on =is art collections which is in a vault in a mountain (go figure!). His =ig investment is Spring Mountain (900 contiguous acres). The Vineyard =oses money every year but the and is about $300,000 an acre. He's not =elling because, he points out, the same kind of quality vineyard land =n France sells for $25 million an acre. So he's intent on developing =pring Mountain. Out this am. In office around 1:30. JB THE SHEROVER RESIDENCE, JERUSALEM At the heart of heart of Talbiyeh, Between Dubnov and Pinsker Streets, =he most prestigious neighborhood in Jerusalem. Built in 1958, the villa =as been described as the largest and most splendid built in Jerusalem =fter the establishment of the state" (From Palestine Press News Agency - "The discreet charm of the =ourgeoisie") "The Sherover Residence and Bronfman House" "The large plot of land between Pinsker and Dubnov Streets, on the =outhern edge of Talbieh was empty until the late 1950s. Over the years, =long these streets — in the most expensive part of the city — =ouses have been built by wealthy families. "In 1958 at the western edge of this area, the first house was =ompleted: the Sherover residence at 2 Pinsker Street, built by Miles =herover, an industrialist and businessman from Venezuela, with his wife =ita. The villa, the largest and most splendid built in Jerusalem after =he establishment of the state, was located on an area 1.5 acres that =Iso included a large garden and a swimming pool. The house was planned =y three well-known architects from Venezuela and designed in the style =f luxurious Latin American homes. One of the design elements =haracteristic of this style is seen on the facade: a colorful mosaic =hat adorns the sloped parapet around the roof. EFTA_R1_00138917 EFTA01799889 "For years the house and the garden that surrounds it served as a =eeting place for Israel's high society. After Miles Sherover's death in =976, his wife thought to put the building at the disposal of the =overnment as an official residence for state visitors and other =mportant personages. Her offer was not accepted because of the high =aintenance costs and security problems involved in such a residence, =hich can be solved more easily at hotels. Eventually the lot on which =he house was built was split and Gita Sherover built a smaller villa =or herself. The big house, including the swimming pool, was sold to a =anker from the Safra family. Two adjoining lots that form a rectangle of approximately 60,000 sq ft =with approximate dimensions of 300 ft x 200 ft) Upper House 2 Pinsker Street 4,300 sq ft http://g.co/maps/ztacg lower House 2,100 sq ft 1 Dubnov Street http://g.co/maps/d6utg Present building rights are 50 per cent, so the property could up to a =otal of close to 30,000 sq ft. PLAN: Build the top luxurious hotel in Jerusalem, with some luxury =partments. The building rights would then go to 150 to 200 per cent, =ut the procedure would take 3 to 4 years. The city government wants to =ncourage more hotels, so my understanding is that they will subsidize =bout 30 per cent of construction costs, and will help to expedite the =ermitting process.

PLAN: Jacqui acquired the property on the advice of Adrian Zecha, former =wner of the exclusive Aman resorts, (No. 1 Hotel Chain, World's Top =otels. Resorts & Spas. Zagat Survey) who recommended acquisition of the =roperty with an eye to development of the most exclusive resort in the =man Resort portfolio (http://www.amanresorts.com/home.aspx). In =ddition to the hotel, the plan would have called for 20 very high-end =illas for sale at $15,000,000 each. OLF, India's largest real estate company, acquired Aman Resorts in =ovember 2007 for $400 million. As of 2010, Goldman Sachs was advising =LF. The property is about 10 miles from Jacqui's Spring Mountain Vineyard in =t. Helena and close to Napa airport. Jacqui has $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 invested.
