Everlands, a New Exclusive Members Club, Offers Unlimited Access to the World’s Finest Estates
Hotel Endsleigh in Devon (pictured), grade 1 listed fishing lodge, one of the UK’s most outstanding country estates, has become part of Everlands, a new global members club with a conservation mission that will bring extraordinary people and amazing places together for the sporting life, romantic travel and lasting camaraderie. Everlands members have unlimited access to some of the most stunning destinations around the globe whilst helping to preserve them for future generations.
Everlands members enjoy transformational experiences and unmatched levels of service at some of the most magnificent and unique destinations across the globe. There is a sport, cuisine, activity and countryside to match every taste and preference, throughout the year.
Experiences include lessons for families about conservation and nature; boating and hiking in the Adirondacks; antiquing in countryside markets; bone fishing in the Bahamas; pheasant shooting or horseback riding in Devon; cycling and cold saltwater angling at Martha’s Vineyard; stimulating literary events around a fi replace; cross country skiing in Montana; salmon fi shing
– accessed by the lodge’s own seaplanes – in Alaska; the pure pleasure of the ‘magic waters’ discovered by Apache Indians in Arizona; and casting for the noblest of fish – the brown trout – in the streams of New Zealand.
The business model for Everlands is robust. Lehman Brothers has made a significant commitment, both as financiers and investors, in addition to founder Bob Burch’s own fi nancial investment in the project.
Membership to Everlands is by invitation only. Each member pays a one- time membership fee, as well as annual Club dues. Everlands is owned entirely by its members, who own a pro rata equity interest in the Club Membership Corporation. Everlands members co-own the land, buildings, and all real property, including furnishings, artwork, boats, floatplanes, facilities, equipment, horses and livestock – debt-free.
There are a limited number of memberships available at £290,000 and this will quickly increase to £500,000 as membership grows. Annual dues of £32,000 cover all amenities, such as world-class dining, fine wine, local transportation, and a broad array of sports instruction, equipment and outdoor adventures – all handled by dedicated Experience Managers. Members enjoy unlimited access to the properties, and bookings are made on a first-come, first-served basis. To minimise financial risk for members, a 15 percent deposit is required by each member at the time of commitment, which will be returned with interest if initial membership goals are not achieved. The balance is due when the Club secures 100 members, at which time the properties will be available to members only.
Until then, Everlands properties will continue to operate as usual and are open to all guests. A spouse or significant partner is included within each member’s usage fee, and can use the properties unaccompanied. Members’ children between 18 and 23 years old who are still living at home may use the properties unaccompanied by an adult. Guests must be accompanied by a member. To create a lasting conservation legacy, a membership may be willed to a spouse or child.
