The current Kauai fractional market offerings are primarily townhomes, condos and some single family homes in resort areas.  I have a few buyers who prefer a Country Estate for their fractional ownership.  We are currently identifying several North Shore properties that have great potential for this market.  They include at least 1-3 acres, 3-4 bedrooms, high-quality luxury living and privacy.  We have narrowed it down to areas close to Princeville, to allow owners to utilize all the amenities and conveniences of the resort community, but have the privacy of several acres in a pastoral setting.

These photos are from properties we are currently reviewing.  If you are interested in an estate fractional vacation home, please email me and I’ll keep you on our mailing list with “inside scoops” on new offerings, upcoming developments and information on how to make your dream of an estate vacation home on Kauai come true!  Please include your ideas on what an ideal fractional vacation home would be.

If you own timeshare, you know the flexibility of vacation ownership.  But don’t you wish it gained in value?  We have an option for vacation ownership that will offer you the flexibility of timeshare, but the advantages of equity growth that traditional real estate offers.  Visit www.ResortSecondHomes.com to find out more!

Aloha,
This blog is dedicated to the Resort 2nd Home market.  Kauai has a variety of options available for people who want to live part of the year in Paradise.  The fractional or shared ownership market has just taken off in the past year.  Kauai has a wide variety of properties available…from an inexpensive condo/tel, to a luxury oceanfront home in Poipu.  We have just begun to see the proof in resales that the fractional market shadows the traditional real estate market in equity growth.

If you’re a timeshare owner, and love the flexibility, but realize that your investment is in travel - not real estate, then you should contact me as Fractional Ownership offers the best of both worlds!!  Flexibility, combined with the benefits of equity investing!  You can utilize 1031 Exchange money to buy your 2nd home, or start an investment strategy with your first purchase of a fractional condo or home.

You may already be familiar with these offerings in the ski-in / ski-out resort areas.  They’ve been tremendously successful in other markets, and Kauai is just maturing in this area.  It’s a great time to get involved, before the “wave” fully hits our shores!
