The Vision

A Private Augmented Holiday:
Seclusion, Seasons, Simple Tools

A private wilderness club built around a simple idea: the holiday is the priority. 100 acres of private woodland at the core, surrounded by thousands of acres of Crown land. Seclusion that stays secluded.

The augmentation is subtle. An app handles logistics—rally the crew, navigate trails safely, sync to the almanac—so you can be present instead of planning. Modest initiation. Annual dues. No ownership required.

The Land

100 Private Acres.
Thousands More Beyond.

The core property is 100 acres of Canadian woodland—cabins, trails, lake access, and managed wildlife feeding grounds that support local deer and turkey populations. Beyond the boundary: thousands of acres of Crown land act as a natural buffer. No neighbours. No development pressure.

The Numbers

Conservative Projections.
Self-Sustaining Model.

$402K Year 1 Revenue
$2.9M 2035 Projection
15–18% Target IRR

Projections assume conservative uptake. $2M investor seed optional for Phase 1 infrastructure; club self-sustains on dues thereafter.

The Funding

Build First.
Members Walk In Ready.

01

Investor Seed (Optional)

$2M as aligned accelerator, not necessity. Funds Phase 1: 3 uniform cabin camps, clubhouse, and trail infrastructure. Members arrive to a functioning property.

$2M · Phase 1
02

Modest Initiation + Dues

$5K–$10K initiation provides access. $2K+ annual dues cover operations, land stewardship, and seasonal programming. Predictable costs, no surprises.

$5K–$10K + $2K+/yr
03

Measured Growth

If the waitlist and stewardship alignment warrant it: scout remote parcels by float plane, replicate the templated camp model on new sites. Expansion is optional and land-led.

Land-Led Expansion
"The private augmented holiday works because the infrastructure exists before the first member arrives."
Governance & Stewardship

Clear Roles.
No Governance Creep.

Members Forum

Members discuss stewardship, events, and improvements. Advisory, not binding. The forum shapes the conversation; the founder makes operational decisions.

Conservation Commitment

Wildlife feeding grounds and habitat management are part of the operating model. Crown land buffer protects seclusion permanently. Conservation is built in, not bolted on.

Founder Stewardship

Operational control stays with the founder. This avoids committee paralysis and keeps decisions aligned with the land's needs.

Membership Continuity

Transfer rights let members pass membership to family. Designed for long-term belonging, not resale.

The Experience

What the Augmented
Holiday Looks Like

Dawn on the Lake

Lines in the water before the world wakes up. The app synced your crew's schedule overnight.

Hunt Season

AR trail overlay keeps you oriented. One-tap check-in lets the crew know you're safe.

Trail Runs

ATVs on mapped trails across private and Crown land. The tech handles navigation so you handle the ride.

Campfire

The part no app improves. Embers, stories, and the crew. This is why the rest exists.

This is a Private Augmented Holiday.
Technology handles logistics. The experience stays real.

Scenarios

Three Paths.
Doing Nothing Is Also Valid.

Conservative

  • 200 members enrolled
  • App adoption 30%
  • Single property, intimate scale
  • Dues sustain operations indefinitely
Sustainable at small scale. Investor recovers via steady dues.

Base Case

  • 400 members at capacity
  • App adoption 60%
  • Dues + ancillaries reach $2.9M by 2035
  • Waitlist warrants second-site discussion
Model proven. Expansion considered, not assumed.

Upside

  • 400+ members, active waitlist
  • Crown Land Explorer drives organic discovery
  • Float-plane scouting for remote sites
  • Templated camps replicated if alignment holds
Network emerges from success, never pursued for its own sake.
The Almanac

Four Seasons.
Year-Round Access.

Spring

Templated Camps:
Docks for All, Lake Premium for Few

Phase 1: 3 Uniform Camps (6–8 Person)

Camp Alpha 6–8 person, shared dock, forest setting
Camp Bravo 6–8 person, shared dock, trail-adjacent
Camp Charlie 6–8 person, lake-premium position, private dock

Every Camp Includes

Internet Connectivity Pack Manager connectivity & check-ins
Solar + Battery Off-grid power independence
Gear Lockup Secure storage for firearms, rods, and kit
"Uniform builds. No hierarchy in the woods—just the lake knows favourites."
The Invitation

A Private Augmented Holiday
Begins Here

A Private Augmented Holiday begins with a conversation, not a commitment.

If the model makes sense for your crew, the Members Forum is open. If not, nothing changes. Doing nothing is always valid.

Protect the land.
Protect time.
Protect choice.
