Luxury property management
Kitsuné provides luxury property management for high-net-worth owners of private residences and second homes. Residence care, household staff, maintenance, grounds, security coordination and concierge are brought together around your home, with one named point of contact.
The fox at the gate
We take the same view of care. The best stewardship is felt rather than noticed: the boiler serviced before the cold, the garden in flower when you arrive, the staff steady and supported while you are away.
We work with a deliberately small number of homes, so each one is known in detail, by name and by habit.
Services
Engage us for a single discipline or the whole household. Every arrangement is shaped around the property, never the other way round.
Scheduled walk-throughs, seasonal opening and closing, arrival preparation, and a written record of every visit. We notice the slow things: a hairline in plaster, a hinge that has begun to drop, a shutter that sticks in humidity.
We help define roles, recruit carefully, and provide steady day-to-day oversight so housekeepers, gardeners and caretakers are supported and accountable, whether you are in residence or not.
From planned maintenance to restoration and refurbishment, we brief, compare and supervise contractors, and report back plainly on progress, cost and quality.
Landscape teams, pool and water systems, outbuildings and boundaries are coordinated as one estate rather than a list of separate contracts.
We work with security providers on systems, response and monitoring, and we keep information about you, your family and your home on a strict need-to-know basis.
Provisioning, guest arrivals, vehicle care, deliveries and household accounts, arranged through one person who knows your home and your preferences.
Residences we are built for
Illustrative studies of the kinds of homes we care for, and what each tends to ask of its steward. These are not client properties.
Process
No obligation, no pressure. Simply a careful introduction between your home and the people who would look after it.
We listen first: the home, how you use it, and what ownership currently costs you in time and attention.
With your permission, we visit in person and record its condition, systems, people and particular habits.
A clear scope, a named point of contact and a fee you can understand before anything begins.
We take the keys. You receive concise reports, and are contacted only when it genuinely matters.
For property owners
Straight answers about caring for an exceptional home, before a private conversation.
Discuss your property's requirementsLuxury property management coordinates the care of a private residence, its systems, grounds and household team. Kitsuné brings inspections, maintenance planning, contractor oversight and arrival preparation together through a named point of contact, with the scope agreed around the owner's home and routines.
Kitsuné's residence stewardship includes scheduled inspections, written visit reports, seasonal opening and closing, and arrival preparation. Inspection frequency, access arrangements and escalation instructions are defined in the property-specific proposal rather than assumed to be the same for every home.
Kitsuné offers six service areas: residence stewardship, household staff coordination, maintenance and project oversight, grounds and estate coordination, security coordination, and owner concierge. Owners can discuss a single service or full household stewardship; the agreed proposal defines what is included.
Private residence management focuses on the owner's use of a home: upkeep, household continuity, privacy and readiness for arrivals. Rental management focuses on tenants or guests and letting operations. This Kitsuné website describes private residence stewardship, not a rental listing or tenant-management service.
Kitsuné serves San Francisco and the San Francisco Bay Area. A written proposal follows an initial conversation and, with permission, a property visit. Share the property's town and the support required so visit arrangements, scope and fees can be confirmed. The website does not publish fixed fees or guaranteed response times.
Use the consultation form to share your name, email and a short description of the home and the help you need. A telephone number, property location and area of interest are optional. A successful submission displays an enquiry reference; it is a request for a conversation, not a confirmed booking or service agreement.
No. The coastal villa, alpine chalet, Georgian townhouse and country estate are illustrative studies, not client properties or properties available to rent or buy. They explain the different care requirements a private residence may have.
Where we serve
Two confirmed service areas. Visit schedules and scope are agreed for each individual property.
"The finest compliment a house can pay its steward is to feel, on your return, entirely unchanged."
Our guiding principle
Private consultation
Share as much or as little as you wish. Your enquiry is read by a person, held in confidence, and used only to prepare for our conversation.
