Last week John Harper and I were checking out our listing on 211 Athena in Copperopolis. This wonderful vacation home is located in a gated community called ‘The Villas’ at Calypso Bay at Lake Tulloch.

John and I were talking about what a great ‘fractional ownership’ property this would be. Fractional ownership is becoming more popular over the last couple of years; instead of buying a whole home you share the ownership of vacation property with unconnected individuals or if you would like, with friends and/or family.

Since you will only use the home a couple of weeks per year, or on weekends it makes sense to choose this form of ownership. It also allows you to own several homes in different areas of the globe in an affordable manor.

Copperopolis is a fast growing community and serves as a great ‘get away’ for the Bay Area, with several new developments, a new downtown and the beautiful Saddle Creek Golf Club which has been rated as one of California’s top 10 public golf courses. Homes like our listing at 211 Athena are still affordable, but will for sure go up in the near future when Copperopolis will be discovered by more travelers.

211 Athena is an elegantly furnished lakeview home; offered for only $649,000 including all furnishings. 4 bed – 2.5 baths

The four car garage is perfect for boat or golf cart storage (in fact, there is a boat in the garage that goes with the house!). Walk to the Calypso Bay, clubhouse, pool, spa, fitness center, boat dock, boat launch, sandy beach and barbeque picnic area.
