Kaj storiti, ko družinska počitniška hiša postane prevelik finančni zalogaj, a se ji nikakor ne želite odreči? Družina Camille Wright iz Francije je našla rešitev, ki bi se še pred nekaj leti zdela skoraj nepredstavljiva – hiše niso povsem prodali, temveč so jo začeli deliti z drugimi.

Njihova vila v Provansi, kjer so tri generacije preživljale poletne počitnice, je danes v skupni lasti kar 29 družin. Nekdanji izključno družinski dom je postal prostor, kjer se srečujejo ljudje iz različnih držav, kultur in z različnimi življenjskimi zgodbami. »Za nas je bilo pomembno, da hiše nismo izgubili. Želeli smo se znebiti skrbi zaradi vzdrževanja, ne pa tudi kraja, kjer smo ustvarjali družinske spomine,« pojasnjuje Camilla Wright. Visoki stroški vzdrževanja, davki in organizacija so postali preveliko breme, zato je bilo treba poiskati drugačno rešitev.

Story from Jam Press (Shared Family Home)Pictured: The Provence house.'We sold our three generation holiday home – only to buy it back along with 28 OTHER families'A family has shared how they sold their home – only to buy it back again, along with 28 others.Camilla Wright's family owned their holiday home for more than 20 years, but maintenance needs, supervision and other issues meant they struggled to keep up with the demands of running a second home.The family searched for a way to keep the property in their lives – and managed to find the perfect solution.They realised the holiday home, in Provence, France, could become a shared house, where several families would co-own homes and they would only be responsible for a share of the costs of maintenance. "For us, shared ownership became a way to combine the past and the future," 55-year-old Camila, who works as a tax manager, told creatorzine.com."We could let go of the responsibility without letting go of the place that has been the setting for our family's vacations for three generations."The family used shared housing concept MyHomes, which handles the purchase, renovation, and management of the homes, while the owners share maintenance costs and gain access to a selection of vacation homes across Europe.The house in Provence and four additional new properties are now shared by 29 families. The family now co-owns five homes in Europe, including an apartment in Mallorca, Spain, an apartment in Rome and a country house in Piemonte, Italy, and a ski chalet apartment in Megčve, France.Camilla added: "A house benefits from being used. "When it is only used a few weeks a year, it still requires ongoing maintenance and attention."We were at a point where we either had to completely let go of the house and sell it or find another solution where it could be used more and still be part of our lives. "Luckily, we found that solution."For Camilla's son, Lucas, the house in Provence has been part of his life from the start. The house was built in 2002 – the same year he was born – and he has been going there his whole life.Lucas, a mechanical engineering student living in Copenhagen, said: "I have been there as long as I can remember. "A large part of life there was around the pool – that's where I learned to swim, and where we spent many hours every single holiday."Once he turned 16, Lucas began visiting the house with his friends and, later, his girlfriend.Lucas, together with his girlfriend, will be the first in the family to experience the house after it has been taken over and renovated.He added: "We actually became a couple there when we were 16-17 years old. "First, she came along as a family friend, then the next time there were a bit more intentions, and since then it has become our romantic getaway. "The house has followed our relationship all the way."It's about peace, togetherness, and traditions – the kind of vacation where you completely unwind. "We always walk down the mountain together toward the town and often end up at the same restaurant by the square. "They know us by now down there."ENDSEDITOR'S NOTE: Non-Exclusive Licence: A non-exclusive licence has been obtained directly from the verified copyright holder.

Družine imajo skupaj v lasti več drugih nepremičnin po Evropi. Foto: profimedia

Hiša s skoraj 30 solastniki

Namesto enega lastnika je hiša dobila skoraj trideset solastnikov. Na prvi pogled se sliši zapleteno, vendar model deluje podobno kot souporaba avtomobilov ali koles. Vsaka družina uporablja hišo v določenih terminih, stroški pa se razdelijo med vse lastnike. A največja prednost se skriva drugje.

Ker so vključeni v mrežo skupnega lastništva, lahko družina danes počitnikuje tudi v drugih evropskih nepremičninah. Poleg Provanse imajo na voljo apartma na Majorki, stanovanje v Rimu, podeželsko hišo v italijanskem Piemontu in gorski apartma v francoskem Megèvu.

Takšen način lastništva ne pomeni le delitve stroškov, ampak tudi povezovanje ljudi. Namesto da bi hiša večji del leta samevala, v njej skoraj ves čas bivajo družine z različnih koncev Evrope. Otroci sklepajo nova prijateljstva, odrasli si izmenjujejo priporočila za potovanja, kulinariko in lokalne običaje, marsikdo pa se s počitnic vrne z občutkom, da je dobil še veliko več kot le prijeten dopust.

Lucas je na družinski posesti spoznal svoje dekle. Foto: profimedia

Poseben odnos do hiše ima tudi Camillin sin Lucas. Njegovi predniki so jo zgradili leta 2002, istega leta, ko se je rodil. Prav tam se je naučil plavati, tam je preživel skoraj vsako poletje in tam je tudi spoznal svoje dekle. »Sprva je prihajala kot družinska prijateljica. Potem pa je med nama preskočila iskrica. Najina zgodba je nastala skupaj s to hišo,« pripoveduje.

Prihodnost počitniških nepremičnin

Družina danes verjame, da je skupno lastništvo ena od rešitev za prihodnost počitniških nepremičnin. Hiša ni več zaprta in prazna večji del leta, temveč živi skoraj neprekinjeno. Hkrati pa dokazuje, da lahko sodobni modeli lastništva ustvarijo nekaj, česar denar sam po sebi ne more kupiti. To so nova poznanstva, mednarodna prijateljstva in skupnost ljudi, ki jih povezuje ljubezen do potovanj in krajev, kjer nastajajo najlepši spomini.
