Serendipity Nature Sanctuary is structured for conservative early operation with long-term upside, emphasizing diversification, phased investment, and capital efficiency.
⸻
Capital Priorities
Initial investment is directed toward:
• completion of the ownership buyout
• essential infrastructure upgrades and maintenance
• fencing, water systems, and agricultural readiness
• early-stage retreat and program activation
Development is phased to avoid overextension and to align spending with demonstrated demand.
⸻
Baseline Value
The property already includes multiple residential and support buildings, established gardens, energy systems, and equipment. This existing infrastructure provides:
• immediate operational capability
• reduced startup risk
• a conservative baseline value independent of future expansion
⸻
Revenue Streams
Primary revenue sources include:
• retreat and educational programs
• accommodation tied to retreats and short stays
• agricultural production and specialty crops
• private membership participation
• planned medical cannabis sales (medical-only, prescription-based, pending approval)
No single revenue stream is relied upon exclusively.
⸻
Operating Costs
Ongoing costs include:
• property maintenance and repairs
• lawn and trail maintenance
• snow removal and equipment fuel
• livestock feed and agricultural inputs
• retreat staffing and program materials
• insurance, compliance, and administration
• support for on-site resident stewards (food credits, stipends, and supplies)
The off-grid energy systems help reduce long-term utility expenses.
⸻
Financial Approach
Financial projections are presented as illustrative scenarios, not guarantees. The Sanctuary is designed to remain viable without any single income source and to scale gradually as capacity increases.
Medical cannabis is treated as a potential upside, not a requirement for success.
⸻
Summary
The financial strategy prioritizes:
• resilience over rapid growth
• shared infrastructure over duplication
• steady activation before expansion
• long-term value creation
This approach supports both fiscal responsibility and the Sanctuary’s broader mission.
