Designing luxury: from vision to reality with Adam Hunter

Say bonjour to the City of Lights when you own a vacation home in Paris! Pacaso simplifies buying and owning in France and other global destinations. Co-ownership knocks down many of the hurdles traditionally associated with owning abroad. For a destination like Paris, Pacaso streamlines both the purchase and long-term ownership of a home so that you can buy with confidence. Clearing international real estate hurdles When When you co-own a Pacaso home, we are your trusted advisor throughout the buying process, helping you skip the mountain of preparation needed to buy property in Paris. Our local expertise and resources — combined with our innovative co-ownership model — make it easier to afford, buy and manage your home abroad. While there are no special restrictions on Americans buying property in France, there are  many legal elements to real estate transactions. Pacaso helps you navigate these aspects, ensuring your purchase is compliant with local laws and requirements. We consult our go-to advisors, who provide on-the-ground knowledge of the local area. The real estate purchase process in France requires a notary, who makes sure all your legal documents are in order. Pacaso coordinates with local notaries to handle any administrative tasks on your behalf. American buyers must pay the same property taxes and stamp duty as French citizens. Pacaso provides clarity on these costs and can offer guidance to you and your tax professional. We also structure our LLC co-ownership model in a tax-advantageous manner, minimizing tax burdens and ensuring compliance. As a co-owner, you are responsible for only your specific pro-rata share of stamp duty and other taxes. Co-owning in Paris with Pacaso also allows you to benefit from lower operational expenses long-term due to reduced international property taxes compared to the United States. This means you can co-own a luxury property for less than the cost of staying in luxury accommodations throughout the year.  When you buy a home abroad, you’ll of course have to furnish it. This means finding a designer and stores, and potentially dealing with language and cultural barriers. With Pacaso, we leverage our local network of vendors to fully furnish and design your home so that it is immediately stay-ready after purchase. Navigating remote property management While Pacaso’s buying process is faster than a traditional international purchase (which can take up to a year), owning a vacation home isn’t a sprint — it’s a long game. You’ll need to manage your vacation property in Paris from overseas, which can be challenging if you need to conduct regular maintenance and respond to any urgent issues. Pacaso’s fully managed co-ownership model takes the work off your hands by providing a dedicated local property manager. We communicate with local vendors across languages and time zones, ensuring things go smoothly both during your stay and when you’re not enjoying the home. This means your vacation home will be in top shape all year long, ready for your next visit. Exploring Pacaso’s international inventory Finding available Pacaso homes in Paris is a straightforward, user-friendly process, thanks to our tech-enabled marketplace.

Raise a glass to 1. Furnishings connect indoor and outdoor spaces With over 8,300 square feet of gorgeous living space, Bennett is perfectly suited to entertaining. “With such ample space, we want to bring together indoor and outdoor living,” says Pacaso's design team. A home of this size can feel disjointed, so the team optimized each area for hosting and gathering, from the sofa placed next to the outdoor kitchen to the large, 12-seat dining table. This ties the whole home together and helps people gather in comfort. 2. Vineyard-inspired colors to showcase the surroundings With Bennett’s high ceilings and limited wall space, the Pacaso design team wanted to saturate the space with color and interest. “We wanted to showcase colors that people might see in the Napa vineyards, flower fields and mountains,” says the design team. They placed a vibrant rug with an energetic pattern and streaks of red, blue and gold, and topped it off with a glass table that brings more attention to the statement piece. 3. Textured artworks for a relaxed ambiance Comfort carries into the luxury bedrooms at Bennett. “Although it has a modern and clean aesthetic, contemporary design can sometimes feel cold, so we wanted to bring the surrounding environment of Napa inside,” says the design team. The design team placed textured artworks, nature-inspired patterns and a mirror to create a contemporary aesthetic that is livable, relaxed and warm. 4. Extra room for gathering (with bonus whimsical decor) Adjacent to the estate is a 2,750-square-foot modern barn. The barn’s fun 2-story layout prompted the team to bring creativity into the multipurpose space. “The barn layout called for something unique,” the design team expressed. Playing off the atmosphere of the home, the team added unconventional elements like word tapestries, teak materials and a cascade of leaf-inspired design accents. In keeping with the theme of gathering, the team also made sure to put seating front and center. The result is a space that feels put together and can accommodate people, entertain guests and delight the kids. To
