Asset Sale Gains โ€” Capital Event Timeline
Reading the model: Revenue in 2028 ($24.3M) and 2030 ($31.7M) is heavily driven by Home Sales ($4.93M / $16.1M) and Commercial Sales ($13.1M / $3.75M). These are non-recurring capital events. The operating income inflections in 2028 and 2030 confirm the business generates genuine operating leverage in peak capital-event years. The recurring hospitality + studio platform (Bellavista NL, glamping, studio, lodging) builds independently beneath the transaction layer.

Bellavista Nexus Landing โ€” New Anchor Business
Bellavista Nexus Landing (BNL) is the largest new element in the $7M model vs. the $5M model. It is a European-style hospitality destination integrated into the property with a full-service restaurant, craft ales brewery, spa, glamping geodesic domes, deli, and WebWeave studio rental. BNL alone contributes $3.33M in 2027 revenue growing to $7.25M by 2031, making it the single largest recurring revenue engine in the portfolio.

The model includes dedicated BNL line cooks, spa therapists, and craft brewing staff as direct labor โ€” these are allocated to COGS, not operating expenses.
Home Sales & Commercial Sales โ€” Capital Events
$34.2M
Total asset sale gains (home sales + commercial sales + property transactions) across 5 years. Home sales peak at $16.1M in 2030. Commercial Sales of $13.1M land in 2028 and $3.75M in both 2030โ€“2031. These are the primary drivers of headline net profit in peak years.

Recurring revenue base: Stripping out home sales and commercial sales, the underlying recurring platform (Bellavista NL, studio, lodging, glamping, workshops, IP) grows from $4.2M (2027) to $15.6M (2031) โ€” a 271% increase. This is the durable engine beneath the capital-event headline numbers. By 2031, interest coverage on a recurring basis reaches 1.44x with operating income from the stabilized platform.
Sacred Wellness Village โ€” Targeted Acquisition Campaign: The Sugarfork Legacy Sacred Wellness Village represents a unicorn opportunity within the broader platform โ€” a purpose-built, fully integrated wellness destination asset in a supply-constrained Appalachian corridor with no comparable comp in the regional market. A targeted marketing campaign is actively underway to identify and engage the right sacred wellness buyer: an operator, family office, wellness brand, or institutional partner with the capital, vision, and mission alignment to recognize this asset class for what it is. This is not a listed property. It is a direct outreach to a defined profile. Qualified buyer inquiries: Don@CKN.World

2031 cash reduction: The $4.1M cash decrease in 2031 reflects debt principal repayment ($1.4M LTD reduction), distributions ($800K), and reduced capital event proceeds (no home sales, commercial sales continuing). The $2.16M year-end cash balance remains adequate for operations given stabilizing recurring revenue of $15.6M.
Investment Model โ€” How It Works
Phase 1 ยท 2027โ€“2028
Deploy & Activate
$7M PIK deployed. Bellavista NL opens delivering immediate restaurant/dome/ales revenue. Home sales ($7.4M) and Commercial Sales ($13.1M) in 2028 recycle capital.
Phase 2 ยท 2029
Institutional Refi
$14M institutional lender closes. Funds Sugarfork Legacy Village construction. Studio infrastructure matures. Recurring revenue builds beneath capital event variability.
Phase 3 ยท 2030โ€“2031
Full Platform
Home sales peak at $16.1M (2030). Sugarfork Legacy, Music Lodge, Craft Ales operational. Studio at 10K+ billable hours. BNL at $7.25M recurring. Debt paydown active.
Modeling note โ€” construction cost allocation: This proforma uses software that allocates total construction cost at build commencement and records full sale revenue at closing. It does not phase costs or revenue across the build timeline. A home or commercial unit that takes 14โ€“18 months to complete will show its entire cost basis in the month construction starts and its entire sale proceeds in the month it closes. This is a software constraint, not a financial assumption โ€” actual cash deployment is progressive across an average 14โ€“18 month build cycle per unit. As a result, years containing multiple build-starts (2027, 2029) show elevated cost concentration, and years containing multiple closings (2028, 2030) show elevated revenue and net profit. Neither reflects the actual month-by-month cash position. Investors and lenders evaluating period-level cash flow or constructing a debt service coverage model should request the unit-level draw schedule, which maps actual cost deployment and closing timelines across the 18-month build window.
