Hello. Don't let the silence deceive. There’s a lot going on.
We sit and watch as the Martha Property has been put on the market. They are asking $1 million dollars per acre. While we are curious to see if a buyer of great wealth emerges, we won’t be holding our collective breath. It seems unlikely. Among other issues, a big mansion will have to conform to the existing building restrictions imposed by the county and confirmed by the Federal Judge. And there are the other impediments to development…those have not gone away. We will closely review any new housing plan and it’s environmental impacts.
Throughout this period, we are seriously looking at how we can go about doing what we have always wanted to do: purchase Martha from the Reed family at a fair market price and keep it open, for all of us, forever.
What are we doing?
We continue in our efforts to identify resources (whom we must pay) to help us come to a realistic assessment/appraisal of the property’s value.
And we continue in our efforts to identify sources and raise money to pay that fair market value the very minute the Reed Family decides to accept it.

So, while it seems quiet, it really isn't. We ask you to help us in our efforts to raise the money we need to keep up the fight, and prepare for that day when we can write the check, close the deal, and walk that beautiful land whenever we want, with whomever we want. And always.
Help us if you can.
Thanks. We look forward to speaking with you soon.
