Shared Estates Fund

Shared Estates Fund is a U.S. real estate investment sponsor that identifies, acquires, and renovates historic luxury estates to create carbon-neutral vacation rental properties designed for the modern sharing-economy travel market. The firm targets iconic large-format properties—many built in the 18th and 19th centuries—that have historically been underutilized or owner-occupied only sporadically, transforming them into high-end short-term rental destinations marketed through platforms like Airbnb and VRBO.

Headed by managing partners including Daniel Dus and a team with experience in large-scale construction, sustainability, finance, and operations, Shared Estates Fund integrates property redevelopment, hospitality, and community impact into its investment strategy. The firm’s approach emphasizes historic preservation, carbon-neutral operations, and elevated guest experiences while seeking to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns to capital partners via syndicated real estate offerings.

Projects such as The Kemble and The Freeman Berkshires illustrate the firm’s niche—luxury estates in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts that are repositioned as premium group-travel destinations with modern amenities and sustainable features. Some offerings have been structured under Regulation CF crowdfunding vehicles, allowing broader investor access to asset-level participation.
