+ SUMMARY

Surprise Valley Hot Springs is a very unique property with almost unlimited development opportunities. The property has not been on the market for 60 years. It is sitting on top of a large aquifer of "Green Energy" in the form of artesian geothermal mineral water. The temperature at the surface of the wells is 205 Degrees F with no trace of sulfur, which means there is no "rotten egg" smell. Geothermal radiant heating is plumbed through out approximately 20,000 square feet of the facility, plus 18 hot tubs, which means no heating bill. The property has access to fresh artesian cold water, which is not often found near hot springs. The property carries full mineral rights, unlike many adjacent properties which were encumbered with Geothermal leases by the big petroleum companies during the 1970's. The property runs approximately 20,000 gallons of hot and cold water through the resort per day.


+GEOTHERMAL USES

Geothermal can be used directly in the form of aquaculture, greenhouses, Industrial and Agricultural processes, dehydration, refrigeration, etc. Technology in creating electricity from low temperature geothermal, which is around 165 degree F, has been proven in Alaska recently.

"30 acre Burgett Greenhouses annual cost savings by using geothermal heat compared to natural gas is about $1.8 million." Geothemalbiz web site.

As the energy markets shift upwards, along with oil prices, geothermal is a smart investment. Geothermal is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, where solar and wind have there limitations.

Also included is a use permit (#75-5 ER91-14) for a 50 unit full service hook up RV park. The original road coming in has been used as an airstrip in the past. Zoned AG General, the property could include a golf course, store, timeshares, greenhouses, pool, runway, 3 acre parcels, etc. The property has 8 ponds with large mouth bass, bluegill, catfish and mosquito fish. The power is supplied by Surprise Valley Electric, which is a co-op and features some of the lowest rates in California. The State of California has in place programs that are focused on helping geothermal related projects in the form of Grants, Loans, and Tax incentives.

+BUSINESS

Surprise Valley Hot Springs Incorporated was established in 1999 when we started with one hot tub. Since that time, we have experienced and enjoyed tremendous growth. The property has been owned and operated by the Rose family for 4 generations. In the past 10 years, the property has been completely remodeled and upgraded.

The property is located 5 miles from the town of Cedarville, CA. offering restaurants, lodging, hospital, fairgrounds, ski area, grocery, and airport with a 4,400 foot lighted and paved runway. It is also only 1 hour away from the world famous Burning Man event in Gerlach Nevada.

A few of the things that draw people to Surprise Valley Hot Springs are the geothermal mineral water, extreme peace and quite, beautiful star lit nights, awesome views, and a quirky little town that is lost in time. We have capitalized on this by introducing the mineral water in private spas attached to the back of each theme room. Another unique feature of the hot springs is the Fly-N-Soak package which includes two rental cars that private pilots rent upon arrival at the Cedarville Airport. Catering to the private pilot market puts Surprise Valley Hot Springs with in hours of San Francisco and Seattle. As we have seen a demand for small groups we feel that the hanger style building will make an excellent conference center/group activity room for business groups, corporate retreats, classes, seminars, re-unions, and workshops. One plan was to put hot tubs at each R.V pad, and put in small cabins, about the size of Park Models with Hot tubs as vacation homes, or time shares.
