Room to grow your family
As Catholic founders we found ourselves in the situation of wishing we had neighbors we could trust. We had to recreate the benefits of a village in our own home, at great effort. While we wanted to remain in close contact with a major metro area, we also wanted our children to have the benefit of a magical childhood where they could roam free in nature. We discovered there are thousands of other families like ours, so we decided we had to build it. We set out to make the village we wish we had growing up, a place wherour children could leave the house and come back when it's dark, where we can walk to mass and meet our friends along the way.
We are in active talks to acquire land in Napa for the first village.
The first village is tentatively named Saint Maximillian, named after the innovative Catholic saint who founded his own media monastery and was ambitious for Christ. The village will be tailored to the people living there, including founders, builders and artists. Napa is a beautiful area well suited for our village, with less than 1 hour commute to San Francisco. Prices start at $500k for a single-family home.
Catholic Villages is seeking capital to bring this vision to life. We are looking for a mix of venture investment and traditional real estate capital to fund land acquisition, development, and community growth. If you are interested in supporting a new model for faith-centered living, please reach out to discuss investment opportunities.
“A vibrant vision for Catholic community life.”
“We believe this project will be a blessing for Catholic families and a model for faith-centered communities everywhere.”
