Executive Summary

AWAKEN Sanctuary is a fully built asset on the Amazon deforestation frontier: a private sanctuary of 29 villas and buildings — 35 sellable units across six categories, up to 76 guests — on 26.83 hectares of titled land in five parcels, 16 km from central Iquitos in Loreto, Peru, constructed between 2021 and 2024 for $2,617,268 by 45 shareholders. It was proven in the market — more than 96 guests from 15+ countries at premium rates during the 2023/24 season — before a 2024 sequence of climate events (a storm, a record drought, and wind hurricanes) damaged 12 villa roofs, the yoga hall, and two of three water pumps, and forced it to close in November 2024.

The property is now for sale. That is the rarest thing about this opportunity, stated plainly: the hard, slow, expensive part is already done and already worked. The land is titled and registered with SUNARP, the property is built and furnished, the corporate and tax structure is in place, and demand was validated at premium prices. The buyer does not build; the buyer reopens.

The sale — $2.7M for 100%, delivered restored

The asset is valued at $2.7M for 100% — a figure that matches the construction cost and is supported by the companies' SUNARP-registered valuation. It carries no premium for the land, the time or the risk already taken. Two structures are available:

A — Full acquisition: 100% for $2,700,000. The founder hands the property over with transitional support for up to 6 months (community relations, regional government, team and contractors).
B — Majority acquisition: 70% for $1,890,000. The founder retains 30% and stays on as a partner inside the team, supporting the property's development; operations can be run by the buyer's own operator. Boutique properties in remote locations that work with local communities depend on the founder — on the agreements with the community, the knowledge of the territory, the team and a reputation that cannot be transferred with the buildings.

In both structures the restoration of the 2024 climate damage — about $270,000 of work — is included in the price. The seller completes it within 3–5 months and hands over a property in operating condition. Working capital for the reopening and all operating costs from handover onward are the buyer's.

The model — conservation funded by premium tourism

The Sanctuary is an integrated conservation, research and tourism property run as a single operating entity in which the property itself doubles as a field base. Premium tourism generates the cash that funds conservation and science; the conservation and science make the destination distinctive, defensible, and grant-eligible; and that distinctiveness sustains premium pricing and repeat guests. The pattern across the most successful operators in this category — Tahuayo Lodge (the same region), Lapa Rios, Inkaterra, Tambopata Research Center — is consistent: the operators with the clearest conservation mission are also the most profitable and the most durable.

What the buyer takes over (operating case, management estimate)

A reopening J-curve: a loss-making launch year by design (10% occupancy), profitable from the second operating year, stabilizing at 55% occupancy by year five.

Stabilized year 5: revenue ~$4.74M, EBITDA ~$1.97M (41.5%), above the global benchmark of 25–32% for comparable properties — driven by premium villa pricing and a low Peruvian cost base.
Downside (occupancy −30%, rates −15%, costs +15%): margin still positive at ~23%.
Replacement value of the intact property is about $4.6M. The price is set at construction cost, below replacement; the operating upside belongs to the buyer.

Status (honest)

The property is built and proven but currently closed. In hand: titled land held by the operating company, the Ley 27037 tax regime through 2048, a documented track record of premium guests, a complete operating model, and a shareholders' mandate to sell. To do: the defined restoration, which the seller completes within the price, and a disciplined commercial reopening by the new owner. No future bookings are assumed in the operating case beyond a conservative occupancy ramp.
