Forest School + Learning Campus
Build a phased learning campus designed for families who feel that conventional schooling is not adequately preparing kids for the future. The program direction blends forest schooling, Montessori-style independence, worldschooling-inspired cultural experience, and holistic future-ready learning: meta-skills, learning how to learn, maker/DIY competency, hands-on building, technology fluency, and grounded preparation for a rapidly changing post-AI world. This strengthens intergenerational continuity and makes the village campus far more attractive for families.
Event Hosting & Programming
Hosted a range of events including disc golf and golf tournaments, weddings, health and wellness gatherings, and cultural events. This demonstrated the site’s ability to support diverse programming, attract different audiences, and operate as a multi-use destination beyond day-to-day accommodations.
Barrel Sauna
Built and installed a barrel sauna to support wellness, recovery, and daily rhythms on the land. This established the first piece of the wellness layer and immediately improved the long-stay and shoulder-season experience.
3D Drone Mapping & Digital Twin
Completed a high-resolution 3D drone scan of the entire property to create a detailed digital twin of the land. This provides a precise foundation for planning, design, infrastructure layout, and future development while improving coordination, visualization, and long-term decision-making.
Food Garden
Established an initial permaculture garden bed to begin testing regenerative growing methods on the land. This served as an early proof point for the food and ecology layer, informing future garden and farm expansion while adding beauty and hands-on learning opportunities.
Wellness Upgrades
Expand the wellness zone with additional sauna and hot tub capacity, plus a dedicated CrossFit-style gym. This supports daily health routines and shoulder-season comfort, strengthens the “live well here” lifestyle, and helps increase membership retention and length of stay.
Regenerative Farm & Gardens
Develop a modest permaculture farm and garden system to improve food quality, beauty, education, and ecological regeneration. This can supply seasonal produce for guests and programs, support hands-on learning, and deepen the place-based identity of the village. Even at modest scale, it becomes a visible “regeneration layer” that makes the land feel alive and cared for.
Storytelling & Growth Engine
Fund a consistent marketing and media program that documents progress and drives demand across guests, members, and partners. This includes high-quality short-form and long-form video, campaigns, sales assets—and a flagship documentary that tells the deeper story of why smart villages matter in a post-AI world.
Outdoor Art Trail & Nature Gallery
Develop a multi-kilometer outdoor art walk by integrating large-scale and site-specific art installations along the existing hiking trails on the back portion of the property. In partnership with festivals such as Otherworld, artists can install works during events and leave them in place, creating a permanent, evolving nature-based gallery that attracts visitors, supports cultural programming, and transforms the land itself into a walkable art experience year-round.
Festival-Ready Land Preparation
Prepare and upgrade key areas of the property to support large-scale festivals and cultural gatherings, including land clearing, grading, access routes, power distribution, lighting, and crowd flow planning. This makes it possible to host multi-day events safely and efficiently while protecting the land, expanding cultural programming, and unlocking new revenue opportunities through festivals, performances, and large gatherings.
