What Is a Legacy Property?
A legacy property is typically a prime real estate asset with exceptional location, historical or architectural
significance, and long-term investment potential. Examples include a London townhouse in Belgravia, a
Parisian hotel particulier, a Central Park West penthouse, a Lake Geneva waterfront villa, or a Malibu coastal
compound. These assets offer prestige, privacy, and permanence, making them ideal for long-term wealth
preservation.

Traditional Luxury Homes vs. Legacy Properties
Legacy homes are acquired with a long-term, multigenerational outlook and are often held through private
family structures. Unlike traditional luxury homes, which may be bought for lifestyle and resold, legacy assets
are rarely listed publicly and tend to be off-market acquisitions.
