Calling All Land Visionaries: Let’s Turn Your Acreage Into Colorado’s Next Luxury Glamping Camp
By Jacob Lill — immersive-experience designer, musician, and dome-obsessed glamping nut
The Short Pitch
I’ve spent the past few years amassing an arsenal of bell tents, a 33-foot projection dome, Funktion-One sound, gourmet kitchen gear, and boutique furnishings—everything you need to launch a next levelclass glamping resort tomorrow.
What I don’t have (yet) is the right patch of land…and that’s where you come in.
I’m looking for landowners, ranchers, or developers who want to co-create an eco-luxury hideaway that merges nature, art, and high-fidelity comfort—and turns idle acreage into a vibrant, profitable destination.
Why Glamping, Why Now?
- Market Momentum – The global glamping market topped $3.45 billion in 2024 and is growing at 10 % + CAGR through 2030. That’s not a fad; it’s a lifestyle shift.
- Colorado Magnetism – Outdoor recreation pumped $17.2 billion into Colorado’s economy last year and drew millions of visitors looking for elevated wilderness stays.
- Experience Premium – Guests willingly pay 3-5× traditional campsite rates for curated comforts, on-site workshops, and brag-worthy Instagram shots.
What I’m Bringing to the Party
| Category | Inventory Highlights | Street Value |
|---|---|---|
| Accommodations | 20× 16’ bell tents, 31 memory-foam beds, luxury linens | $110 K |
| Show-Stopper Dome | 33-ft geodesic dome + flooring | $30 K |
| Audio / Visual | 40 5k laser projectors, 10 K-lumen cinema projector, inflatable screen, Funktion-One sound | $360 K |
| Furnishings & Decor | Rugs, lanterns, trussing, fabrics, dining sets | $55 K |
| Pro Kitchen & Tech | Full commercial camp kitchen, proprietary IoT guest-experience tech | $90 K |
| Total Ready-to-Deploy Value | $645,000 |
(All gear is owned free-and-clear and lives in climate-controlled storage, waiting for a home.)
Partnership Models on the Table
- Land-Lease Revenue Share
- You provide the permitted acreage; we build & operate.
- Typical split: 30 – 40 % of net camp revenue to the land partner.
- Equity JV
- Form an LLC, split ownership.
- You contribute land (or long-term lease value), I contribute turnkey infrastructure + operations.
- Event-Host Model
- Keep your ranch running. For 4-6 premium weeks/year we pop-up the full resort for retreats, weddings, or festivals and share profits.
Revenue Snapshot (20 Tents + Add-Ons)
| Occupancy | Gross / Night | Gross / Quarter | Land-Partner 35 % Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 35 % | $1,400 | $127,400 | $44,590 |
| 50 % | $2,000 | $182,000 | $63,700 |
| 77 % | $3,080 | $280,280 | $98,100 |
(Projections exclude weddings, corporate retreats, and ticketed music events—those stack on additional upside.)
The Ideal Parcel
- Size: 30–100 acres (room for expansion trails & privacy buffers)
- Access: Year-round county road within < 90 min of a major airport
- Utilities: Existing well/septic a plus; solar/EV potential a bonus
- Vibe: Meadow + tree line + epic views (water feature? chef’s kiss)
- Regulatory: County receptive to special-use or agritourism permits
Have something outside Colorado? I’m eyeing New Mexico, Utah, and Oregon as well—let’s talk.
What Guests Will Experience
- Starlit Cinema inside the projection dome
- Chef-led farm-to-table dinners (produce from your land = extra revenue)
- Wellness Mornings: sunrise yoga, sound-bath meditations
- Night-Owl Sets powered by Funktion-One (with smart SPL control)
- Hands-On Workshops: pottery, botanical dyeing, wild-foraging walks
Next Steps
- Intro Call / Coffee in Denver – Let’s swap visions and parcel details.
- Site Walk-Through – I bring laser-measures and a drone for quick layout mock-ups.
- Feasibility & Permit Check – My team drafts a fast-track plan for county approval.
- Partnership Paperwork – Structure deal, set launch timeline (target: Summer 2026).
