This compares quite favourably to the United States where values for a similar interest now average nearly three times that amount. And even more favourably to the multi-million dollar price tags that often adorn Muskoka cottages. It also speaks to the investment potential of the luxury fractional real estate market in Canada over the years to come. You want to own an impressive vacation home in an expensive resort area. The problem is you can’t quite justify the expense because you’ll only be using it for a portion of the year. If that’s the case, you may want to consider fractional ownership .

Why pay a full year of realty taxes and a full year of maintenance costs when you can enjoy all the benefits of cottage ownership for only a fraction of the price?” Thompson points out. Touchstone, patterned after the highly successful model developed in the United States, provides luxurious 3 and 4 bedroom cottages and fabulous 2 and 3 bedroom villas appointed with finishes and furnishings comparable to or better than whole ownership cottages that sell in the millions.
