SUNNY MEADOWS

Homesteaded 1850 during the Gold Rush of those days - the first cabin was built in 1850. Sunny Meadows was named after Sonny Higgins who died in W.W.II as a Captain of a Bomber in flight over Germany. Afterwards his father requested that the Ranch be named after his son.

Located just 4 miles [as the crow flies] south of one of the greatest national parks in America: YOSEMITE. Imagine if the hundreds of thousands of tourist who are sent away from Yosemite National Park due to overcrowding, No Vacancy, and unavailability of camping space, were to discover Sunny Meadow? What type of facilities could you establish to accommodate their needs? The opportunities are endless and in your control with your interest secured in Sunny Meadows Wilderness Paradise. Average snowfall each winter is 5 feet. Fresno Airport located one hour and a half away.

Sunny Meadows wilderness ranch is one of the greatest retreat locations in California. 444 acres of of natural wilderness completely surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of national forest. Sunny Meadows is known to be the largest wet meadow in the Sierras. The seven ponds and lakes on the wilderness ranch are spring fed by six natural mountain springs. The 2500 gallons per day of pure mountain spring water from the nearby glaciers has been tested by a bottling company and identified to be one of the purest supplies of water in the nation.

CHRISTMAS TREE FARM

The Sunny Meadows ranch elevation and soil content is rated of the highest quality from the Federal Department of Forestry. For this reason the Christmas Tree opportunity is ideal. We are able to plant 1600 trees per acre. Table top trees are available the second year. Cutting on the trees vary upon the growth over a five year period. Typically gross profit per eighty acres is $240,000.00 each and every year after a four to five year period. These projections are based on an annual harvest cut of 15% of the trees planted.

LOGGER' DREAM

Sunny Meadows wilderness retreats natural resources include the harvesting of 3/4 of a million Timber board feet every 10 years. The price of the timber is based on one thousand board feet net Scriber scale for logs delivered to logging mills. Sugar Pine $700.00, Ponderosa Pine $700.00, White Fir $700.00, Incense Fir $700.00. Since selective cutting is permitted every ten years the land yields approximately $120,000.00 net profit from timber each decade.

Wildlife in these parts include deer, bear, cougar, fox, bobcat, coyote, lynx cats, raccoons, tree and ground squirrels, wild ducks, beavers, and other animals in this natural habitat. The seven lakes and ponds are a reflection of the natural wonders and beauties of nature recognized by those familiar with Yosemite National Park.



Recognized for its wild and scenic areas, Sunny Meadows natural beauty has attracted Thunder Mountain productions and Actor/Producer Mr. Richard Kiel (recognized as the man with the iron jaw in the James Bond movie 007) as well as other movie producers. Focused on Sunny Meadows for the invaluable scenic mountain forest atmosphere and its value reflected by its future viewing audiences the producers have drafted a preliminary agreement for the use of this property for six film productions which will yield $250,000.00 Gross Profit.

PURE SPRING WATER

The six mountain springs yield approximately 2500 gallons per day. If this water was bottled in quart sized containers and sold at 50 cents per quart the gross revenues per spring would be $1,314,000.00 per year potential. With six springs producing the same output that would equal $7,884,000.00

If the pure mountain spring water were fully developed, its production alone would pay off the investment requirement to acquire Sunny Meadows.

CAMPING HEAVEN

There are over 100 camp sites on the ranch. This wilderness ranch has hosted thousands of campers including the Royal Rangers from the Assemblies of God Churches, Calvinist Cadets Dutch Reformed Church, Nazarene Church, Mennonite Church, association of pastors and Women's, Men's, Youth groups and other Christian organizations. When the Royal Rangers contacted Yosemite National Park and asked them if they could accommodate 800 youth and 200 adults...they said NO WAY...and pointed them straight to Sunny Meadows.

The property has potential for the following future developments: Private Yosemite type tent cabins with wood floors that include access to their own private small lake, fishing and canoe area, recreation area, endless walking trails throughout the forest. Each unit can be rented for $300.00 per weekend per tent cabin. Total of 15 Tent Cabins. This equals $4500.00 per weekend.

DUDE RANCH LODGING

The lodge nestled in the hill overlooking the Meadow has 8 bedrooms. There are 3 downstairs and 5 bedrooms and 5 baths upstairs. These rooms could be rented for a daily rate of $275.00 each including meals and ranch activities. If the rooms were fully occupied at this rate for 180 days of the year the gross receipts would be nearly $400,000.00 per year.

COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING - FILMING AND PRINT LOCATION OPPORTUNITY

Use of the beautiful in the ranch may be available to commercial advertising companies who desire the Log Cabin and other sites on the ranch to accommodate the needs of their high end clients such as Levi Strauss, Camping gear manufactures, Automotive manufacturers, etc. Gross revenues anticipated at $50,000.00 per year.

CATTLE

Sunny Meadows Ranch is able to feed eighty pair of cow and calf per season annually. This would realize profit of $500.00 per calf for a total of $40,000 per year.

FELLOWSHIP

There is a great treasure in experiencing the joy and happiness that is realized as campers immerse themselves in the wonderful and scenic atmosphere and on occasion --- spiritual awakening while in prayer during fellowship in God's country. Generally when the lodge is rented out to private groups the fees are paid per camper. Although the registration of Sunny Meadows with the California Department of Parks and Recreations is not official, the private estate is not closed to donations by its visitors.

Your investment to acquire Sunny Meadows Wilderness Paradise is $21,200,000.00
