Finding that "place which makes your heart sing" brings us immense joy! About International Property Shares:
I purchase character properties in France and in Italy and offer them as fractional ownership homes (shared ownership with 6-12 people). This provides a wonderful home base for people who love the idea of ownership with none of the year-round headaches and expenses of rentals and manageme
nt. My experience in searching for homes which stand out to me, is that they are not easy to find. It is a leap of faith which is sure to delight and enrich you. My job is to find the ideal property, handle the multiple requirements for foreign ownership, and provide you with a turn-key property to use and to enjoy. What is Fractional Ownership exactly? The concept is simple; it doesn’t always make sense to buy am entire holiday home you might use for a few weeks a year but by pooling resources with like minded owners, you can share the expenses and the lifestyle. IPS is run by me, Ginny Blackwell. I’ve loved travelling ever since I spent a year in Paris studying at the Sorbonne at age 20. Over the next ten years I managed to bike, hike or travel through Canada, Europe, Latin America and the beautiful USA. In 1981, I finished a Masters in International
Business from A.G.S.I.M. in Phoenix, Arizona. There are plenty of things I love about France, my first home away from home, but one of the main reasons is the manner of slow living. It’s more about the journey than the destination. I love May poppies, the 2CV Citroens and the way the French
language connects me deeply to its history and people. When I’m not at one of my holiday home shares in Europe or
Mexico, I live with Dale my husband and our three boys in a
historic house in New York, a bit of a change from our farm in Oregon! We loved the idea of walking places vs the minivan
circuit. We love having family in near by and the lovely Finger Lakes around us. We hope you enjoy discovering some amazing properties in France, Italy and beyond - and all the riches that the fractional lifestyle has to offer - to enjoy for yourselves and to share with others!
