Sable Farms · the lower campus · Bonners Ferry, Idaho

A working campus for people and land.

The place. The business that runs it. The engine that brings it to life. What lives here. And the ways capital can take part.

The place

What is being secured?

One hundred and twenty acres on the lower campus of a former boarding school in the Kootenai Valley. Ten buildings that already stand. Kitchens, cabins, a dining hall, a barn. Creeks, ponds, timber, and the clean water this valley is known for.

The school closed in 2022 and everything is still standing. This is not a ground-up build. It is a place that needs to be secured, opened, and put back to work.

The business

What happens here, and what pays?

People come to stay, and while they are here they learn, build, and share. Whole-campus buyouts, retreats, and events are the base. Programs are the point.

Programs, proposed

Families seeking deeper learning. Farmers with real problems. Makers and founders building solutions. The first pilots are shaped for them.

Where revenue comes from

03

The activation engine

What turns a property into a platform?

re•world is the operating team and the method. It is what turns an underused property into a living platform with guests, programs, and a story people can repeat.

Who is who

Three names, clear lines. Sable Farms stands on its own property, economics, and decisions. re•world activates it. Boulder Creek Retreat, next door, is a collaborator and shared context.

04

What lives here

What lasts beyond the operation?

The institutions, programs, and relationships that make the place matter after the season ends. Four lenses, held loosely, at the intersection of which the campus works.

05

The capital

What is needed now, and later?

Three different reasons to take part, so three different ways in. Securing the place, activating the business, and building what lives here answer three different questions and are not forced into one product.
