Please read more to learn about some of the distinct differences between Fractional Ownership and Timshares.
What is Fractional Ownership? It is primarily used to purchase and own a second or vacation home in a resort area for a fraction of the total cost. Fractional Ownership of real estate is the fastest growing segment in resort estates today. The purchaser will have ownership in a high-end luxury home conveyed by deed and can be resold, rented or willed, providing a legacy that can be left for family with all the amenities one can imagine, Fractional Ownership is opening doors to many who want to own a share in private aviation for business and leisure, yachts, and multi-million dollar luxury homes in resort areas all over the world.
Source: CNNMoney.com "For a rapidly increasing number of Americans, "fractional-ownership" is a perfect trade-off.
Owners get a beautiful, high-quality house, in a fantastic location, with great services and amenities and a carefree vacation lifestyle for 10 percent or 15 percent of what they would have to pay to buy the house on their own. The costs of buying and running these often expensive properties is shared by a number of people and the homes, instead of sitting idle most of the time, are nearly always being used. Fractionals, often called residence clubs, form one of the fastest-growing segments of the vacation-home market..." |
Source: Fractional Ownership, An Idea Whose Time Has Come "Even as America struggles to cope with one of the deepest recessions in half a century, fractional ownership continues to hold its own, leading long-term analysts to conclude the various shared-ownership programs are filling a growing need for new travel options. While the observation refers to the dramatic increase in shared ownership of jet aircraft for business travel, the sentiment also applies to another growing area of shared ownership, Fractional Ownership of Real Estate. Fractional Ownership of a vacation home or condominium, while sometimes being referred to as "vacation ownership", is confused with another shared ownership plan called "timeshare". This is a mistake. While the various Fractional Ownership plans may share some characteristics with its cousin, timeshare, the differences are significant enough to consider Fractional Ownership in a category of its own. Fractional Ownership is really quite different. Timeshare is a vacation product for the broadest segment of the population, and as such is a wonderful concept that gives millions of families the opportunity to vacation a week or two in locations and accommodations that may have been beyond possibility without that form of shared ownership. Fractional Ownership is a different product. Ownership of more than a couple or a few weeks, in its various configurations and usage patterns, is regarded as Fractional Ownership. That may be anything from a one twelfth ownership (4 weeks of usage) to a one quarter ownership (13 weeks of usage). 2002 figures provided by Ragatz Associates shows that 76% of fractional owners have five weeks of usage or more, with 43% having thirteen weeks of Quarter Ownership. Fractional Ownership....more than a vacation...much more! |
It is the length of time available to the owner that is significant. Fractional Ownership is more than a vacation...much more!" ... |
Introducing Nature's Estates
Luxury Resort Community - Enjoy the lifestyle of the rich and famous in the North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains
Nature's Estates is a 250 acre planned resort community in Paris Mountain located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Georgia's Fannin County located approximately 1 1/2 hours from Atlanta. This resort community will consist of 84 ultra luxurious rustic elegant log homes on 1.5 to 4 acre tracts ranging in price from $800,000 to $1,300,000. But a purchaser can own a high end luxury home for 1/12th the cost, deeded with a minimum of 4 weeks of guaranteed usage (one week per season). Plus, the purchaser will have unlimited usage for last minute stays throughout the year. If the home the purchaser owns is not vacant during a time other than the guaranteed time, the purchaser may use another home that is available in the resort and pay only a small cleaning fee.
