Why we decided to build another Hideaway…
Sometimes, the best business decisions come from paying attention to what’s already working. 🤎
Our original Hideaway in the Tree Tops has earned the #2 spot among two-bedroom, two-bathroom properties in our area for revenue, according to the software we use to analyze our market. And that gave us a lot of confidence in what we wanted to do next.
When we compared our Cape Fair property to Hideaway, the decision became a no-brainer. Our Cape Fair house was larger, farther away, more difficult to maintain, and ultimately brought in less revenue than Hideaway. Selling it allowed us to reinvest in something we believe has even more potential: building additional vacation homes right here on our own property.
There are so many things we love about Hideaway. It hits that sweet spot of being perfect for a couple's getaway or a small family vacation. We're close to Silver Dollar City and Table Rock Lake, yet tucked away in a private, wooded setting where guests can truly unplug and enjoy being surrounded by nature. 🌳
And from a business standpoint, having our rentals close to our primary home makes them easier to manage, maintain, and grow over time.
Since this is build #1 of 3 planned homes on our property, we wanted to start with something familiar. We know this floor plan, we understand its appeal, and we have real performance data to help us estimate its revenue potential. Rather than reinventing the wheel, we're building on what we already know works.
Of course, every property and every year is different, and nothing is guaranteed. But we're excited to take what we've learned and put it toward the next chapter of Seven Cedars.
One property sold, a new vision taking shape, and three future builds to look forward to. We're so excited to see where this journey takes us!
