Shareholder-owned family homes across borders
One network of family homes. Owned together.
Instead of tying your savings to one house in one country, own a share of the whole network. Reserve any home that is actually available across it and cover only the exact variable costs of your stay.
One location is fully built
Further locations are already secured.
The wider network follows five concentric geographic circles.
IThe model
Ownership that travels with the family.
- I
Hold the network
Buy shares in the company that holds the network. One stake covers every location, including those still to come.
- II
Reserve what is free
Choose among homes that are actually available, under clear network-wide booking rules. Combine several locations over the year.
- III
Pay for your stay
Cover the exact variable costs caused by your family's use of a home. Building and running the network is not your job.
IIWhy families pool
One villa, or a share in many homes.
Many families who have built up savings picture a house of their own by the sea. Set the two paths side by side and the difference shows quickly: in what you give up, in what you carry, and in how exposed you are.
Buying one villa
- A home worth having by the sea costs around EUR 750,000. Most families pay for it by selling savings they had meant to keep.
- Transfer tax, notary, lawyer and agent come first; furniture, insurance, pool, garden and a caretaker for the empty months follow.
- Your name enters a foreign land register, with a local tax number, a registered address and a local bank account.
- Live there for most of the year and it becomes your tax home; your children fall under its school rules.
- One country, one climate, one legal system. If any of them turns against you, so does the whole investment.
A share in the network
- One stake gives co-ownership of every location in the network, including those still to come.
- The capital you bring stays in the company's shared reserve. Locations are financed separately, inside their own subsidiaries.
- You hold shares in a Swiss stock corporation. Its share register is private, and your name appears in no foreign land register.
- Spread the year across several homes. A season in each place need not make any of them your tax home.
- Designing, building and running the homes is the network's work. Your family arrives, stays and pays what the stay costs.
IIIWhat families gain
Six reasons to own it together.
- I
Many homes for one stake
A family that owns one house owns one view. Shareholders reserve free homes across every location and combine them over the year: a summer by the sea, a winter in the south, a base close to grandparents.
- II
Your savings stay saved
Contributions are held in the company's reserve and are not spent on building. The company keeps that reserve in Bitcoin and finances locations through a credit line in euros, so the homes are built without anyone selling what they have saved.
- III
Stronger together in a downturn
When markets fall, a single family with a single loan stands alone before its lender. A shared reserve can add collateral when an individual cannot. The company behind the network has already come through a hard bear market with Bitcoin as its main asset and remained able to act.
- IV
Ownership that stays private
Gathering families with wealth and children in a few places calls for discretion. The share register of a Swiss stock corporation is not public, shares are transferable and inheritable, and no location is named before it is secured.
- V
Learning that moves with you
Families use the same locations together and in a similar rhythm, and the education programme travels with them. Children keep their friends while the scenery changes. One of the secured locations is an established independent school offering the International Baccalaureate, which keeps recognised paths open for older children.
- VI
A network you can shape
Core shareholders can bring a location or an entrepreneurial project into the network, also in the form of land, real estate or shares, and help decide how it is built. A new location goes ahead once enough shareholders want exactly that place.
IVThe network
Five circles. No public map.
The geographic logic is public; individual sites are not. The network expands outwards through five deliberately different jurisdictional circles.
- I
European Union
The innermost circle: familiar access within the EU framework.
- II
EU special zone
A distinct European option with a special relationship to the EU.
- III
Europe beyond the EU
A second European jurisdiction outside the Union.
- IV
The West beyond Europe
A wider western base beyond the European continent.
- V
The East beyond Europe
An eastern base beyond the European continent.
What the promise includes
Clear rights. Honest limits.
- Shares in the network company, not a deed to one particular house.
- Access across the network when a suitable home is actually available.
- Exact variable stay costs, calculated from what a stay actually causes.
- Detailed rights and obligations governed by shareholder documents.
VThe starting point
A place before a promise.
citadel.garden began with a building site and finished it. One location is fully built, and further locations are already secured. That practical foundation informs the wider structure: private homes, shared infrastructure, and options across borders, with individual sites kept private until disclosure serves the network.
