The lower ranch from the north at golden hour: the barns and buildings along the tree line, the Selkirks behind
Sable Farms · the lower ranch · for investors and advisors

A farm campus residency, incubator, and retreat center.

We are raising the capital to secure the lower ranch of the Boulder Creek property in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, and open the buildings that stand there. Amounts and terms are shared by invitation.

Happening now

This is already underway. Not finished, not owned yet, but moving.

The property

About forty acres on the lower ranch of a former boarding school in the Kootenai Valley, in the far north of Idaho. Lots 1 and 2 of the Boulder Creek property, with the buildings, the water system, and the grounds intact.

We are securing the lower ranch. The upper campus, where Boulder Creek Retreat operates, is not part of it. The buildings stand, but they are not ready to operate: the kitchen needs recommissioning, the cabins need furnishing and repair, water and sewer need to meet hospitality code, and the site needs its conditional use permit and life-safety work. Those are the first uses of capital after the land itself.

The buildings

"First round" marks where we start.

The first round

The first business is hospitality. Guests stay in the cabins and eat at the Round Table. Groups take the whole campus for retreats, weddings, company offsites, and family gatherings, and the barn hosts events through the year.

Katka Lodge, the largest building, would be leased to an operating tenant from the start. Early revenue: stays, groups, events, and the lease. Programs run as small pilots inside the stays, and are not counted on to carry the business early.

Programs

The people we expect first: families who want to learn something together, and schools and organizations that want a few days in the field and at the table.

Programs run as small pilots inside the stays. None of them is counted on yet.

The team

re•world would own and operate Sable Farms: guests and groups, inquiries and bookings, hosting, the property day to day, and the programs.

Through the 2026 season the team has done this work alongside Boulder Creek Retreat, the neighboring center: the inquiry and booking system, the weekly letters, and events on the property. Operating experience, not a claim of results.

The capital

It will take millions of dollars and several years. Three purposes, kept separate.

Securing the lower ranch
The path to ownership. The first and largest use of capital; everything else depends on it.
Opening and running it
The work to open, and the runway for the first seasons: staff, furnishing, permits, and the reserve while bookings build.
Building over time
The glasshouse, residencies, and the programs. Some of this may come from grants, sponsorship, or partnership rather than investment.

Amounts and terms are in the investor materials, by invitation.

The path

  1. Secure the lower ranch

    The path to ownership, with the operating agreement, the permits, and the utility approvals alongside it.

  2. Prepare and open

    Recommission the kitchen, furnish and repair the cabins, finish the permit and life-safety work, lease Katka.

  3. First full season

    Stays, groups, events, and the first pilot programs inside them.

  4. Later

    The glasshouse, residencies, the rest of Katka, as the first business earns them.

The order of things, not a schedule.

The map

The lower ranch from above. Hover or tap a building to see what it becomes and what it supports.

The best way to understand it all is a walk through the campus with us.

With much gratitude,
