Stories from the village

Full details are in the Home-Owner Deck, alongside the Attunement Doc (to check cultural alignment) and the Funding Codex created for May's first round, some of which still applies for July.

From the end of July onwards, Neos is officially open to hotel guests for well-being stays, with a booking platform going live at the end of the month.

Neos is opening Round 2 for new village home-owners throughout July 2025, with plot reservations starting at €50K as a contribution toward the total plot and development cost (which can range from €100K+ for a tiny house plot up to a full villa plot). Interested people should read the Home-Owner Deck, complete the Attunement Doc, review the Funding Codex, and email connect@neos.life to register interest and book a call.

At the end of July, Neos has to pay back bridge loans to its lenders, so this month is the last chance to become a co-owner at the current value—after July, reservation prices will rise and the land area per plot will shrink.

Neos is calling for a €5M bridge loan for six months to complete the acquisition of the 410 ha estate. Lenders get a 10% interest return over six months plus 1% equity in neos·life for every €1M lent, with the minimum investment being €100,000.

The 410 ha estate includes a licensed 19-bedroom hotel, 5,000m² of existing building structures, abundant water sources (river, dam, 2 ha of lakes, boreholes and wells), and is only 75 minutes from Lisbon.

The loan is secured by the land itself, which is being valued at €15.1M after upcoming planning permission (versus the €4.2M purchase price). If Neos can't refinance via a bank mortgage, they would initiate the sale of the property to repay lenders.

Plans include an on-site wood house construction line (first house by end of Feb 2025), two tiny houses delivered in December 2024, an 800m² food market garden built by end of October, a 3-month hotel refurbishment opening March 2025, and a ceremony/workshop space in development.

The new neos.center website features signature programs including Awakening, Self-Mastery I, Self-Mastery II, and Women's Gatherings, with light bookings open for guest facilitators in 2025.

Plans include an on-site wood house construction, masterplanning for the wellbeing complex, hotel, residential and regeneration areas, an organic market garden for the farm-to-table restaurant, and a geodesic dome temple for retreats and ceremonies.

The Codex is the 59-page working master document covering the business model, governance, onboarding, and the vision for the residential community; it's shared with trusted members via the free neos·academy app.

The estate was acquired for €1/m2 (buildings alone worth over €2M), with an expected 3-5x value uplift once planning permission for 77,000m2 is granted; residential land use rights & houses are projected to sell for over €100M, and the well-being hub itself is seen as a unicorn opportunity. Total investment needed is €5M, with the rest financed via debt, EU grants, and pre-sales.

Neos envisions a village of 500 residents in 200 homes, alongside a global well-being hub serving up to 20,000 people/year through holistic medicine (including cancer healing), mental/physiological/nutritional therapies, and transformational retreats. It aims to offer full modern-life amenities including a school, organic farm, energy/water independence, and even a small airport.

The land is in remote nature in Alentejo, Portugal, about 75 minutes from Lisbon and an international airport. It already features swung hills, a river, a lake, cork trees, a certified organic farm, and an existing hotel with 20 bedrooms that will host retreats starting early 2025.

As of September 2024, Neos had submitted a masterplan requesting development of up to 77,000m2 (under 2% of the land), with a decision expected by the end of that month; the zoning unusually allows up to 200,000m2 of development.
