Second Homes of the Rich and Famous: Where the Rich and Famous Labored on Labor Day

Written by Candy Evans on September 6, 2011

While you and I cleaned out the pool, braved NorthPark Mall in Dallas, or invited friends over for BBQ and margaritas, the rich and famous played quietly at their second homes. I mean, who got this whole second home fad started anyhow –celebrities and the very wealthy. William Randolph Hearst built his Hearst Castle in San Simeon with 41 bedrooms so he could invite friends. I mean, what fun is 95,000 square feet if you live there alone and can’t fill it up?

Since its launch in October, 2010, SecondShelters.com has established itself as the center of the second, vacation and investment home real estate universe offering readers House Porn Candy, sales and insight, community comparisons, investment info, celebrity deals, new developments, the “f” word (foreclosures), where it’s hot, where it’s not, and of course the latest gossip. We do it all from our base in Dallas/Fort Worth, where everyone likes to get out of Dodge come August. Unlike 99% of the sites out there, SecondShelters‘ content is created by an award-winning national journalist who isn’t trying to sell you a home; a journalist who went to real estate school to sleep with the enemy; a journalist who visits and reviews each property, eyes the neighborhood and kicks the tires hard in her Louboutins. Make no mistake: Candy Evans tells it like it is. Updated daily, reported accurately for the real estate consumer, and always spiced with dish from readers and experts, SecondShelters is a daily fix for anyone with Second Home House Addiction or who has ever dreamed of multiple home ownership… because one is never enough.
