Country Club Questions
Que:
-
Who can join the New Venice Country Club? Are there any restrictions?
Ans:
-
Anyone can join, there are very few restrictions!
-
As long as Members can afford the "Initial Membership Fee" and the monthly "Maintenance-Operations Fee", and follow our "Rules and Regulations (and all laws of the United States of America), anyone can join.
-
That being said, we do reserve the right to do a background check if we feel it's necessary for the safety and security of our employees and fellow Members.
Que:
-
Where is the Country Club located?
Ans:
-
Our first project will be located in one of the Southern states in the USA.
-
The exact location is confidential at this moment because our projects are very private for our Members and our Motor-Coach Homes double as a shelters/safe-rooms.
-
Members who join by making their "Initial Membership Fee" to the Escrow Company will be informed of the details of our plans, including the geographical area of where the Country Club is planned.
-
Al Members have the legal right to cancel their Membership within so many days of wiring their "Initial Membership Fee"into an independent Escrow Company account if they don't wish to participate (guidelines apply, see "How It Works")
Que:
-
Is the Country Club already purchased or built yet?
Ans:
-
No, it's not purchased yet and there is a very important reason for that.
-
The Developers want to confirm in advance that there are at least 350 interested "parties" that want to participate in our unique Country Club.
-
The Developers need to first pre-sell at least 350 Memberships before they purchase a large ranch or forest for the project.
-
This is a new type of business model that protects the Developer AND the Members.
-
-
Regarding the Country Club being "built yet":
-
The Developers are purchasing a property that will have a great deal of amenities already included so it will be "partially" built when we buy.
-
If a specific amenity is not included with our purchase, we'll then make the necessary capital improvements in order to offer our Members the best Country Club possible (see Amenities page).
-
-
At the moment, we have specific properties (ranches & forests) targeted for purchase but everything is confidential at this time.
-
Members who submit their Membership Agreements and their "Initial Membership Fee" into the independent Escrow account will be informed of the confidential locations that we're targeting to buy.
-
Once they review that information, they can make a decision on whether or not to continue their Membership purchase.
-
If they wish to cancel, they will have seven "working days" to make a decision and have their Membership Fee returned.
-
There are other protections as well.
-
Que:
-
How many Memberships are allowed at the Country Club?
Ans:
-
We are limiting the project to "up to" 700 "Family" Memberships, and the family size can be up to ten (10) people (more people can visit for special occasions; guidelines apply)
-
By limiting our Country Club "up to" 700 Family Memberships, we guarantee that each Member will be very happy with the privacy they're allowed.... the Country Club consists of 10,000+ acres and that's a lot of space for everyone!
-
That also allows us to make the capital improvements that we're planning and allocate sufficient funds for operations and contingencies.
Que:
-
What does my Membership include?
Ans:
-
We have three different levels of Membership, depending on what Members want. Please see the following pages for details:
-
For info on our Membership "levels" and the associated features, services and fees, see our "Membership Packages"
-
For the amenities, products, and services that we're offering all Members, please see our "Amenities" page.
-
And to see a step-by-step process of how we're putting together our Country Club, please see "How It Works"
-
-
Please Note:
-
Some or most of the Amenities will be available for Members as soon as we purchase the ranch or forest.
-
Other Amenities (a.k.a. our capital improvements) like our planned recreation, entertainment and leisure venues, will take time to build and/or purchase.
-
Because we're rebating "up to" 100% of the "Initial Membership Fee" back to Members (contingent upon which Membership Members purchase) within twenty (20) years, we're asking for your patience while we work with our Architect, Engineers, Builders etc to make the improvements.
-
Que:
-
Can Members store their Motor-Coach at the Country Club and use the Resort's airport to visit any time they want?
Ans:
-
Yes
-
Our Country Club has budgeted for a large vehicle storage faculty that is secure and monitored by our Security Systems and Personnel 24-7.
-
When Members make their online reservations to visit, our Concierge Service can move the Motor-Coach from storage to the Member's Coach-House (or Members can do it when they arrive at the Resort).
-
Our Concierge Shuttle Service at our Airport will take Members to their Coach-House or they can use one of the Resort's on-site golf-carts or vehicles during their visit.
-
Members must purchase additional insurance and there are storage guidelines.
-
Subject to "Rules and Regulations", a reservation system, space availability and owning an airport at the property that we purchase.
Que:
-
Is this similar to the "Yellowstone Club" in Montana or the "Mar-a-lago Club" in Florida or the "Ocean Reef Club" in Florida?
Ans:
-
Yes in many ways but, with some major differences:
-
We are similar to the Yellowstone Club in Montana but, with the following differences:
-
Our first project will be located in one of the Southern states of the USA
-
We don't offer sites or "lots" to build a home on but, our Country Club Memberships do include the complimentary use of a Motor-Coach House (with a "shelter/safe-room" underneath) for twenty years.
-
We'll have a wide variety of amenities similar to Yellowstone Club (lodge, dining, entertainment, golf, pool, spa, horses, ATVs, motorcycles etc) but, we'll have two very unique waterway canals with a wide variety of water related activities (and waterfront Motor-Coach vacation homes) instead of snow skiing.
-
We'll always have plenty of funds for operations and contingencies.
-
And as a way of saying thank-you to all Members, we're rebating "up to" 100% of the "Initial Membership Fee" back to Members over 20 years so all Members will appreciate the value they receive in their Membership!
-
-
We are similar to the Mar-a-lago Club in Florida but, with the following differences:
-
We will have a very impressive Lodge-Country Club and a wide variety of amenities, products and services but, it would be very difficult to reproduce a mansion that's comparable to Mar-a-lago.
-
That being said, we'll have 10,000+ acres for our Country Club Resort and many features and amenities that Mar-a-lago can't offer.
-
In addition, our Memberships do include the complimentary use of a water-front Motor-Coach Vacation House (with a "shelter/safe-room" underneath) for twenty years.
-
And as an extra bonus, we're rebating "up to" 100% of the "Initial Membership Fee" back to Members over 20 years so all Members will appreciate the value they receive in their Membership!
-
-
We are similar to the Ocean Reef Club in Florida but, with the following differences:
-
Our first project will be located in one of the Southern states of the USA so we're similar in that regard.
-
The Ocean Reef Club is located on the ocean with ocean-filled water canals, whereas we'll have two very large 360 degree inland water canals that we can control and keep clean at all times.
-
We don't offer a marina for large boats and yachts but, each water-front Motor-Coach Home has it's own dock and we'll have a wide variety of boats to use for our Members (electric boats, paddle boats, kayaks, dinner boats etc).
-
We don't offer sites to build a home on but, our Country Club Memberships do include the complimentary use of a water-front Motor-Coach Vacation House (with a "shelter/safe-room" underneath) for twenty years.
-
Ocean Reef Club consists of 2,500 acres, whereas we'll have 10,000+ acres for our Country Club Resort and many features and amenities that Ocean Reef Club can't offer.
-
And as an extra bonus, we're rebating "up to" 100% of the "Initial Membership Fee" back to Members over 20 years so all Members will appreciate the value they receive in their Membership!
-
-
For a "comparison chart" of how our Country Club compares to other well-known projects, please see:
-
"Project Comparison Chart" under the tab "Amenities-Benefits"
-
Que:
-
Will I own any real estate? Is this a "Time Share?"
Ans:
-
No and No.
-
Members don't own any real estate and this is not a time share.
-
We've come up with a new business model for vacationing and/or residential living that addressees the current problems regarding the COVID virus and the unsafe living and working conditions in many cities nationally!
-
This is a Membership business model, in a very unique and remote, luxury Motor-Coach Country Club Resort with "built-in" shelters/safe-rooms in the Coach-Houses.
-
The Country Club Membership gives Members special and one-of-a-kind access to a wide variety of features and benefits.
-
Our Country Club is unique because it's not only massive in size (10,000+ acres+) and in design (with our waterway canals and offerings) but, Members don't have to "share" their waterfront Motor-Coach house with anyone... it's theirs to use exclusively for twenty (20) years.
-
The Developer will own the land, the Country Club and all amenities and improvements and is giving the Members the rights to visit and use specific parts of the project for vacations, residential living and/or emergency use (a.k.a. shelters/safe rooms) for up to twenty (20) years contingent upon the "Rules and Regulations" of the Country Club.
-
The Developer will then rebate "up to" 100% of the "Initial Membership Fee" back to the Members over the twenty years of Membership, subject to the terms of the Membership Agreement and Rules and Regulations Agreement (see "How It Works")
Que:
-
Is this project a "survivalist" or "prepper" community?
Ans:
-
No
-
Club Members are offered an opportunity to join a private and remote Country Club that is situated on 10,000+ acres that they can visit any time they want for the next twenty (20) years!
-
The can visit via their own ca//truck, or by using their own Motor-Coach, or by using their own Jet/Plane!
-
If they own a Motor-Coach, they have the opportunity to park their Motor-Coach at their own Motor-Coach House, which includes a custom Motor-Coach garage or protected area for their cherished "home on wheels!"
-
Club Members are also offered specific amenities that they can use at the Country Club that are shared with other Club Members (ie: pool, spa, golf course, lodge with dining etc).
-
Privacy and security for each Club Member is our top priority at our Country Club and there are no meetings or "required" activities, except for our "Rules and Regulations" agreement.
-
That being said, each Motor-Coach site includes a "shelter/safe-room" underneath the Coach-House for the exclusive use of each Club Member, which is stocked with emergency water, food and medical supplies.
-
Our Country Club is also operated and managed to give our Members the maximum in protection and safety at all times (ie: security personnel; fire department; medical staff etc).
Que:
-
Does the Country Club have plans, budgets and strategies to make sure that it doesn't have any financial difficulties in the future?
Ans:
-
Absolutely!
-
We have numerous strategies to protect the Country Club and it's Members, including but not limited to, the following:
-
We're using professionals with over 175 years of combined business experience to design, build, operate and manage our Country Club.
-
The "Initial Membership Fee" paid my Members allows us to not only implement capital improvements for the Country Club but, have funds for contingencies.
-
The "Monthly Maintenance Fee" paid by Members allows us to not only pay for all operating costs but, have funds for contingencies.
-
We have strategies and plans to reduce our utility costs which lowers our cost of operations dramatically.
-
We have strategies and plans to reduce our food costs which lowers our cost of operations dramatically.
-
We have the benefit of buying almost everything in "bulk", which saves money and lowers our cost of operations dramatically.
-
In addition, we'll implement the following plans:
-
Purchase numerous insurance polices for risk reduction
-
Initiate on-site safety and security systems and plans to reduce risk
-
Initiate separate strategies to generate additional profits in order to pay back all Members for their "Initial Membership Fee" (does not include any sales to Members).
-
-
Que:
-
Are there any tax benefits of buying a Membership in the Country Club?
Ans:
-
You must check with your tax adviser and/or financial consultant for advice.
Motor-Coach Houses

How many Motor-coach Homes are planned at the New Venice Country Club?
Ans:
-
We're planning the following:
-
400 Coach Homes total
-
200 Coach Homes surrounding each waterway canal
-
-
350 Coach Homes for Members
-
50 Coach Homes for visitors, guests, VIPs etc
-

Que:
-
Do all Motor-coach Homes at the New Venice Country Club have enclosed Motor-coach garages?
Ans:
-
Yes
-
We'll be offering a variety of Coach-Houses for our Members to choose from and they will have different types of "enclosures" to protect the Motor-Coaches.
-
For more info, please go to "Coach-Houses"
Que:
-
As a Member that owns a Motor-coach, do I receive a specific location at the Country Club to use for my Motor-Coach and does that include a Coach House and a "shelter/safe room?"
Ans:
-
Yes to all three questions!
-
As part of your "Initial Membership Fee" and your "Monthly Maintenance Fees", you receive the following:
-
You have the right to visit the Country Club at your leisure for twenty (20) years.
-
You have the right to use specific amenities, products and services at our 10,000+ acre Country Club, most of which are complimentary and are tracked via a "credit" system.
-
You have a specific Motor-Coach Coach-House assigned to you that's approximately one (1) to five (5) acres in size and it's a private, waterfront location (on our unique waterway canal).
-
Your waterfront Motor-Coach "site" includes a Coach-House and a "shelter/safe room" underneath the Coach House, which is stocked with emergency water, food and medical supplies.
-
As a bonus, the Developers are offering "up to" a 100% rebate on the "Initial Membership Fee"(aka loan from Member to Developer) over the twenty (20) years to offer all Members the most value possible!
-
-
For more information, please see "Amenities" and "Coach-Houses"
-
Subject to the terms of the Membership Agreement and "Rules and Regulations" of our Country Club
Que:
-
Do Members have any design choices for their Motor-Coach Houses?"
Ans:
-
Yes
-
As part of our unique benefits of owning a Membership at our Country Club, all Members will have the ability to choose a design "theme" for their Coach-House.
-
Our Architect will be working closely with our Builder/Engineer to design three (3) to six (6) different Coach-Houses for our Club Members to pick from.
-
Each level of Membership will have different choices and the higher priced Memberships will have more expensive items to choose from.
-
Our strategy is to use a basic building design "template" for all of our Coach-Houses so our Builder can manufacturer them faster in their construction plant and then we can erect them quicker at our Country Club for our Members to use as soon as possible.
-
Members will be able to choose which design and options that they want (via our website) after they sign their Membership Agreements and pay their "Initial Membership Fee" into the Escrow account (subject to having at least 350 Members commit to joining).
-
For more info, please go to "Coach-Houses"
Que:
-
What do the Motor-Coach Houses consist of? And what do they include?
Ans:
-
All homes are specifically "assigned" to each Member and can be used at their leisure for up to 20 years, subject to our Membership Agreement and Rules and Regulations Agreement.
-
All Motor-Coach Vacation Homes at New Venice Country Club are located on the waterfront of our waterway canals.
-
The homes range in size from 2 Bed/2 Bath up to 4 Bed/4 Bath
-
All homes include a shelter/safe-room underneath the house which are stocked with emergency water, food and medical supplies.
-
All homes include: a fully furnished home with kitchen, living room, bedrooms, laundry, outside BBQ patio with cooking equipment-Jacuzzi, and a waterfront dock with ladder.
-
All homes include water, electric, communications, cable and/or satellite connections, televisions and bedroom linens.
-
For more info, please go to "Coach-Houses" and "Membership Packages"
Que:
-
What does the Country Club do with a Member's "assigned" Coach-House if a Member is not staying at the Country Club?
Ans:
-
The Country Club will rent out the Coach-Houses to generate income/profits and that will be deposited in a special account in order to rebate the "Initial Membership Fees" back to the Members in twenty (20) years.
-
How It Works:
-
Our Country Club Members are required to use our online website (or use a phone in emergencies) to reserve their "assigned" Coach-House before they visit.
-
If a Member is not currently using their Coach-House and there is no reservation from the Member to use their Coach-House on our website, then the Country Club will rent out the home on either a daily basis or longer time frame (after communicating with the Member).
-
-
Rebate of Member's "Initial Membership Fee" is subject to which Membership the Member purchases and how many "credits" that a Member uses over the twenty (20) years of Membership.
-
For more info, please go to "Coach-Houses"
Que:
-
How long will it take for the Developer to build the Motor-Coach Houses, Water-canal and other capital improvements and what can Members do while the improvements are being made?
Ans:
-
It will take the Developer approximately 12 to 48 months to make the capital improvements contingent upon zoning, permitting, construction scheduling and dealing with any COVID problems.
-
The Developer and his design team-construction team are using "modular" building techniques in order to speed-up the entire process.
-
The Developer will keep all Members informed via e-mails and information on the Country Club website.
-
-
The amount of amenities that the Members can enjoy while the Developer is making the capital improvements at the Country Club will depend on which Ranch or Forrest that the Developer buys for the project.
-
The Developer will focus on a property that has a large amount of amenities (a.k.a. improvements) already included and that will allow the Members to visit the Country Club quicker and start enjoying the benefits of their Membership.
-
Canal Waterways
Que:
-
How many canal waterways will be at the Country Club and what are the dimensions approximately?
Ans:
-
We will have two separate waterway canals at our Country Club and they will be in the shape of "protractors", which will give us the ability to offer two water canals that are both in a 360 degree shape and have the water gently flowing constantly.
-
Our lodge complex, with a large amount of our amenities and services, will be in the large area "in-between" our two canals.
-
-
We're still working on the details of the waterways with our experts but, the "straight lines" on our waterway canals (a.k.a. the protractor shape) will be approximately one and half miles long.
-
The width of the canals will be approximately 208 feet, which is the width of a "square" acre.
-
The closest thing that resembles our planned water-canals is the Versailles Grand Water Canal in France, which is in the shape of a "cross." (please Google it).
-
-
For our preliminary ideas, please see "Master-plan" and "Waterway Canals"
Que:
-
Are the canal waterways clean and can Members swim in them? And can Members use jet-skis and their own motor-boats?
Ans:
-
Regarding cleanliness and swimming:
-
Most definitely!
-
You can go swimming and enjoy the water via boating (electric motors only) etc.... and that's what our water-world projects are all about.
-
The depth of the water will be approximately 5 foot to 10 foot deep and the water will be gently moving at all times and have a wide variety of fountains and waterfalls.
-
Each Coach-House is directly on the waterfront for Members enjoyment and each one will have it's own small dock with ladder.
-
Our waterways won't have weeds and they're not meant for fishing... and they will be filtered 24-7.
-
There won't be any chlorine or chemicals used and we're consulting with experts to use a natural way of keeping everything healthy and enjoyable.
-
That being said, the Country Club will also have separate swimming pools for our Members enjoyment and separate fishing ponds for those who enjoy that hobby.
-
-
Regarding Jet-Skis and Boats Owned by Members:
-
No jet-skis or "piston" powered motor-boats owned by Members will be allowed on the waterway canals.
-
Members can use their own electric-motor boats as long as they're quiet and they'll be responsible for their own maintenance and up-keep.
-
Our Country Club will have complimentary paddle boats, electric boats, row boats, kayaks etc. and a very unique dinner boat for Members to enjoy.
-
Our objective is to keep everything quiet, relaxing and serene around the Coach-Houses and the waterway canals
-
Que:
-
Will there be any restaurants and/or cafes planned on the canal waterways?
Ans:
-
It's a must!
-
We're planning at least one restaurant/cafe with outdoor patio dining and roof-top dining on both of our planned waterway canals!
-
Please see our "Master-plan" for preliminary details.
-
-
We're also planning to have "dinner boats" (like you see in Europe) for both waterways and they will offer "360 degree wine and dine cruises" one or more times per week.
Que:
-
Are the canals at the Country Club similar to the "River-walk" project in San Antonio Texas??
Ans:
-
Yes, the canal "concept" is the same but, with major differences:
-
The River-walk is a "city park" and primarily located in the City of San Antonio, whereas the the New Venice Country Club is a planned private development in the country.
-
The River-walk is primarily located in a business district with a wide variety of businesses lining is banks, whereas the New Venice Country Club is mostly lined with private, water-front vacation homes and a limited amount of restaurants, cafes, bars and lounges.
-
The River-walk consists of river water, which is normally dirty and contains silt deposits, whereas the water canals at the New Venice Country Club are in a "closed loop" and constantly filtered and cleaned.
-
The River-walk is lined by businesses, bars, shops, restaurants, nature, public artwork, and five historic missions, whereas the New Venice Country Club will be lined with vacation homes, a limited amount of restaurants, cafes, bars and lounges, along with two very large parks in the middle of the canals (they are 360 degree waterways), a very large Lodge complex between the canals (with dining, entertainment, recreation, leisure, retail, services etc) and a very large golf course on the outer perimeter of the water canals.
-
The River-walk has river barge tours and dining for locals and tourists, whereas New Venice Country Club is planning on having enclosed "dinner boats" (like you see in Europe) for both canal waterways and they will offer "360 degree wine and dine cruises" one or more times per week.
-
- For more details on what we're planning at New Venice Country Club, please see our "Master-plan" for preliminary details.
Purchasing A Country Club Membership
Que:
-
Why is the Developer using an Escrow Company and account to process the Country Club Memberships?
Ans:
-
The short, simple answer:
-
To protect all Club Members (aka Membership buyers) and the Developers of the Country Club Resort.
-
The Developers want everything "transparent" and "above-board" so all Club Members know exactly what is going on at all times.
-
The Developers also want an independent company, a.k.a. the Escrow Company, to hold the "Initial Membership Fees" until all of the following have occurred:
-
350 Members have signed up, signed their Membership Agreements, paid their "Initial Membership Fees" and chosen which Coach-House design they wish.
-
And the Developer has purchased the land for the Country Club.
-
Once that has been accomplished, the Escrow Company can legally transfer the Membership Fees to the Developer's Country Club and invite the Members to visit after initial preparations are made.
-
-
-
The detailed answer:
-
Using a licensed and insured escrow service to buy and sell services etc. is the most convenient and safe way to complete transactions.
-
Facilitated by a trusted third-party, the escrow process acts as your personal tool to ensure a safe, secure and intuitive sale for both buyers and sellers
-
Escrow generally refers to money held by a third party on behalf of transacting parties.
-
It is used in many different types of transactions including the purchase of shares of a company and real estate selling and buying.
-
The escrow agent has the "fiduciary" responsibility and duty to properly account for the escrow funds and ensure that the usage of funds is explicitly for the purpose intended.
-
Que:
-
Do Members have to own a Motor-Coach to be a Country Club Member?
Ans:
-
No
-
Even though our Coach-Houses are designed with garages large enough to accommodate Class-A Motor-Coaches, there is no requirement to own a Motor-Coach.
-
If you do own a Class-A Motor-Coach (or plan on buying one), we want you to know that our New Venice Country Club was specifically designed for you and and we wish to cater to the luxury Motor-Coach lifestyle.
-
Class A Motor-Coaches:
-
Class A Motor-Coaches are the big ones. These are typically large, bus like vehicles with vertical or gently sloping front windshields. Despite being the largest recreational vehicle class available, you still don't need a commercial driver's license.
-
Class A Motor-Coaches are built using a very strong, heavy-duty frame. These frames are built on either a commercial bus chassis, a commercial truck chassis, or a motor vehicle chassis. The 18-wheeler trucks use a similar build. The big, 22.5 inch wheels support the heavy load of the Class A Motor-Coaches.
-
Que:
-
When I make my "Initial Membership Fee" for the Country Club, how am I protected?
Ans:
The following information is a very accurate review of how the Developer protects all interested "parties":
-
Step #1:
-
Everyone should review our website a couple of times.
-
By doing that, you'll understand what we're trying to do and how we protect everyone.
-
-
Step #2:
-
Anyone that has an interest, should sign up on this website immediately because it's first come, first served when it comes to securing a Membership.
-
-
Step #3:
-
Once you've signed up, you need to do the following ASAP:
-
Read and sign our Membership Agreement.
-
Read and sign our Rules and Regulations Agreement.
-
Read and sign the preliminary Escrow Agreement-Instructions
-
This document protects you by giving specific instructions to an independent third party, a.k.a. the Escrow Company, on how to handle the transaction.
-
The Agreement is subject to changes by the Escrow Company.
-
If you don't understand the documents, you should consult legal advice.
-
-
-
-
Step #4:
-
Once the Developer has at least 350 "interested" Members signed up and all of them have filled out their agreements above, we proceed to payments.
-
All 350 "interested" Members must make their Membership payment to the Escrow Company so we can confirm that the project is financed.
-
Each "interested" Member makes their payment to the Escrow Company for their "Initial Membership Fee", depending on which Membership you are purchasing.
-
Each "interested" Member makes their payment via a bank transfer (aka wired funds) to the independent Escrow Company.
-
The Developer will e-mail all "interested Members the contact information for the Escrow Company, along with instructions.
-
All "interested" Members can perform whatever due diligence that they feel is necessary on the Escrow Company so you know they're real and you feel comfortable with them.
-
-
Please Remember: the Escrow Company protects the Developer AND the Members and the Escrow Company MUST follow all the Escrow "Instructions" that the Developer and Members have signed in advance for the Membership purchase.
-
-
Step #5:
-
The next step is for the "interested" Members to review the group of "targeted" properties that the Developer wants to purchase and confirm that they want to continue with their Membership purchase or cancel.
-
The Developer will do the following:
-
E-mail the "interested" Members information on the different projects for sale.
-
The "interested" Members will have up to ten (10) working days to make a decision on whether or not they wish to proceed with the Membership purchase.
-
-
-
Step #6:
-
When the Developer confirms 350 "interested" Members for the project, the Developer continues to Step #7.
-
If the Developer can't confirm a total of 350 "interested" Members with their payments into Escrow, he contacts additional "interested" Members (that have signed up on the website) and confirms their signed Agreements and payment.
-
Once that is done (within six to twelve months of having 350 "interested" Members signed up on the website), the Developer goes to Step #7.
-
-
Step #8:
-
When the Developer has secured 350 Members and all Members have paid their "Initial Membership Fee" to the Escrow Company, the Developer can then legally proceed with the following:
-
Secure a separate investment and/or loan to purchase the land for the Country Club.
-
Record the Title-Deed with the Escrow Company and then inform all Members that the land has been purchased for the Country Club project.
-
Then the Escrow Company can legally transfer the Membership Fees to the Developer for the Country Club.
-
-
-
Step #9:
-
After the land is purchased for the Country Club, the Developer will do the following:
-
Send all Members a "Welcome Package" which includes an official Membership Card which entitles the Members to visit the Country Club and use the Country Club's amenities, products and services according to the "Rules and Regulations" of the Country Club.
-
Inform all Members of the preparations that the Developer is making at the Country Club (see below), so the Members can visit (see below) and the capital improvements planned (see below).
-
-
-

Review Of Protections For "Interested" Members:
-
All Membership Fees paid to the Escrow Company stay at the Escrow Company until the Developer confirms 350 Memberships.
-
Said another way, the funds of each Member is protected because the Country Club CANNOT be started until the Developer confirms 350 Family Memberships AND collects all of the "Initial Membership Fees" into the Escrow Company.
-
Then, and only then, will the Developer be able to legally transfer the Membership Fees to the Developer's Country Club project, according to the Escrow Agreement-Instructions that all Members have signed in advance.
-
If the Developer cannot confirm 350 Memberships with their payments to the Escrow Company within six to twelve months of confirming 350 Membership sign-ups, then the Escrow Company will automatically refund the Initial Membership Fee back to the Member (per the Escrow Instructions), with any accrued interest, minus any Escrow and/or bank fees.
-
That process protects the Developer and Members at all times.
-
-
-
Legal:
-
Transferring the Member's "Initial Membership Fee" to the Developer's Country Club is subject to the Developer taking title to the land for the new Country Club project and filing the paperwork with the independent Escrow Company.
-
Que:
-
When do the monthly "Maintenance Fees" start?
Ans:
-
The fees that are automatically billed to the Members for monthly "Maintenance Fees" of the Country Club will start in Phase V, when Members can start visiting the Country Club (which is after we prepare the Country Club for the Members).
Que:
-
What happens if a Member dies or wants to leave before the 20 years are up?
Ans:
-
When A Member Dies:
-
The pre-paid Membership is classified as a loan from the Member to the Developer.
-
It would also be considered personal property so the Member's Estate would take ownership of the loan (debt) and the Membership benefits and they can decide what to do.
-
If the Estate wants to continue with the Country Club Membership, they would "register" with the Country Club and then take over the monthly maintenance fees.
-
If the Estate makes the monthly maintenance payments, the Estate will receive "up to" 100% rebate on the "Initial Membership Fee" (contingent upon which Membership the Members purchases; see "Membership Packages") within 20 years of the agreement start date.
-
If they don't make the monthly maintenance payments, they loose the Membership benefits and the "Initial Membership Fee" rebate (a.k.a. the loan payback) is canceled.
-
-
When A Member Wants To Leave the Club (a.k.a. when Member stops paying the monthly Maintenance Fees):
-
If a Member wants to leave the Country Club, which means they don't want to make their monthly maintenance fee any more, they will loose the benefits of the Country Club Membership and the loan from the Member to the Developer will be cancelled (aka the rebate to the Member in 20 years will be null and void).
-
There is a very important reason for this:
-
The whole Country Club concept is built around the "upfront" Initial Membership Fee AND the "monthly" maintenance payments.
-
Without those two parts or "systems" working together, everything falls apart... and we wouldn't be able to implement the capital improvements or pay the monthly bills.
-
By everyone working together, all Members can enjoy a wide variety of world-class amenities and services.... along with safety and security for all Members for 20 years... and "up to: a 100% rebate of the "Initial Membership Fee" (a.k.a. the loan from Member to Developer).
-
-
Que:
-
What happens after twenty years?
Ans:
-
First, and most importantly, Members receive their "Initial Membership Fee" back (a.k.a. they receive their loan paid off in full):
-
Contingent upon which Membership Package the Member purchased and how many " credits" they've used over the 20 years.
-
Please see "Membership Packages" for details
-
-
Secondly, our Country Club Company will offer the Members a chance to rent the Coach-Houses!
-
The fee will basically be the monthly maintenance fee that the Members are already paying.
-
It might be a higher fee because of inflation but, we'll make that decision in 20 years.
-
Our Country Club reserves the right to increase the monthly maintenance fee from 3% to 5% per year for inflation.
-
-
If Members decide not to rent the Coach-Houses, we "might" turn them into "public" rentals or do something else with them.
-
Que:
-
Can you please give us more info on the "rebate" program and how the "credits" work
Ans:
The "Rebate" Program:
-
The "Initial Membership Fee" that Members make to join the Country Club are considered a loan from the Members to the Developer.
-
The loan will be paid back to the Members over the term of the Membership Agreement (20 years from the date that the Initial Membership Fee is legally transferred from the Escrow Company to the Developer) and consists of the the following methods of payment:
-
A financial "credit" for use of the Motor-Coach Coach Homes
-
A financial "credit" for use of Country Club amenities, products, services etc. like recreation, entertainment, leisure etc.
-
A financial "credit" for use of products and services like groceries, dining, jet charters etc.
-
And a money payment (a.k.a. dollars) to the Member (if applicable)
-
The "Credits":
-
"Credits" are a "positive" accounting entry on the Member's Country Club Account using the average retail costs and/or charges of well-known products, services, amenities etc that are offered at the Country Club.
-
Examples:
-
Gold Membership: Waterfront Vacation Home Credit: $120,000 per year: 3 Bed/3 Bath Motor-Coach House w/Shelter/Safe-room
-
Gold Membership: Country Club Amenities, Products, Services+ Credit: $120,000 per year: Includes recreation, entertainment, leisure, emergency medical, safety and security services etc.
-
For more info please see "Membership Packages"
-
-
The System:
-
All products and services at the New Venice Country Club are assigned a retail value (similar to buying something anywhere in America) so everything is easy to track.
-
Every time a Member uses a product or service, the retail price is deducted from the Member's "credit account" via the Country Club's private computer system.
-
Those "used credits" (a.k.a. deductions) that are used by the Member at the Country Club are then subtracted (a.k.a. applied to) the "loan rebate" that the Developer owes the Members (ie: "up to" 100% of the "Initial Membership Fee" contingent upon which Membership Package the Member bought).
-
There are guidelines and restrictions for the use of products, services, amenities etc at the Country Club so all Members have the ability to access our offerings.
-
-
All Members will receive a quarterly and/or yearly Membership "statement" showing how many "credits" that they've used for the year and it will be e-mailed to them and posted on their "password protected" Country Club account on the website.
-
At the end of the twenty (20) year Membership time frame, the Country Club will do a final accounting for all Members to determine whether or not the Club owes Members any "money" (a.k.a. a dollar amount) on the "loan rebate" and if it does, the Country Club will issue the Members a payment within ninety (90) to one-hundred and twenty (120) days.
-
It's a simple, easy and convenient way to track the "credits" used by the Members and the system allows the Country Club to know exactly what the final money payment will be to the Members for the "loan rebate", if any.
-
Note: in some cases, the Country Club may have given the Member more "credits" than the original cost of their Country Club Membership and therefore will not owe the Member any final money payment.
-
That's our goal... to give all Members as much value as possible for their Country Club Membership!
