BruingtonHargreaves lists one of the area's few permit-eligible short-term rentals; the owner will accept equity in lieu of cash.
The offer targets Bay Area buyers whose wealth sits in private-company stock that is difficult to spend. Rather than sell shares and trigger a taxable event, a buyer can apply equity directly toward an income-producing second home.
The single-level, three-bedroom, three-bathroom home sits on 3.25 private acres ten minutes from the Healdsburg Plaza, with a new pool and spa, a bocce court, and a covered deck. It is eligible for a short-term-rental permit; the permit does not transfer, but a new owner can secure one. Beau Maison, a leading local property manager, forecasts $178,000 in annual rental income.
"In nearly 20 years of Wine Country transactions, we have never seen a seller open to taking payment in AI equity," said David Hargreaves, co-founder of BruingtonHargreaves. "For a buyer holding stock that is hard to turn into a home, this is one of the cleanest paths we have seen into a genuinely scarce, income-producing asset."
