Vitruvius Properties: Legacy Land, Bespoke Construction, and Global Curation

Vitruvius Properties operates as a unique enterprise, connecting legacy land stewardship and high-end construction with the curation of art and artifacts, delivering a truly bespoke turnkey product.

The Vitruvian Ideal: Our philosophy is rooted in the Roman architect’s principles of Firmitas, Utilitas, and Venustas—Strength, Utility, and Beauty. We serve a discerning clientele seeking more than a home: a legacy property where structure, landscape, and history merge into a single masterpiece.

Our Foundational Pillars:

• For the Legacy Builder: Environments of curated art and artifacts anchored to the rarest historic land in Colorado.

• For the Holistic Investor: A focus on Holistic Intentionality, integrating sustainable, grid-independent technologies and ceremony..

 1. The Foundation: The Bonanza Land LLC Portfolio

Vitruvius Properties represents the exclusive sale of the Bonanza Land LLC holdings, one of the largest and most significant private land offerings in the Colorado Front Range.

• Scale: Over 2,000 acres comprising nearly 450 historic, mountain parcels.

• Heritage: Historic acreage coinciding with the 19th-century Colorado Gold Rush.

• Unrivaled Asset Value: Properties are conveyed fee simple, including both mineral rights and surface rights—a rare legal distinction in modern Western land sales.

• Versatility: These sizable holdings are available for sale independent of the Vitruvius Properties’ turnkey model, representing a scarce investment opportunity for individual estates, commercial resorts, or land conservancy.

 2. The Vitruvius Entities: A Seamless Integration

The land offering is integrated into a turnkey ecosystem across two synergistic entities:

Vitruvius Properties

Development & Construction. Expertise in custom, sustainable homes and grid-independent technologies on repurposed mining acreage at 9,000+ feet.

Gallery Vitruvius

Global Curation. Purveyor of historic art and artifacts for Architectural Integration.

 3. Curation and Specialty Collections

Gallery Vitruvius drives the narrative of any building through a highly selective inventory:

• Historic Architecture: From 150-year-old Chinese opium and wedding beds to ornate spiral staircases and ancient Sanskrit palm-leaf manuscripts.

• The Specialty Collection: We specialize in the appraisal, restoration, and brokerage of vintage Italian motorcycles from the mid-to-late 1950s—the Golden Age of Italian Motorcycles. These pieces of kinetic art serve as a centerpiece for the modern legacy home.

 4. The Founder: Carl Schembri

The multidisciplinary vision of Vitruvius Properties is driven by its founder, Carl Schembri, whose career represents a rare convergence of technical licensure, artistic depth, and operational rigor.

• Professional Authority: A Licensed General Contractor and Managing Level Real Estate Broker in Colorado, Carl provides expert-level oversight for complex mountain development and high-altitude construction.

• Academic & Artistic Foundation: A Magna Cum Laude graduate in Psychology from the University of Colorado Boulder with an emphasis in Cello Performance, Carl bridges the gap between technical rigor and aesthetic harmony.

• Operational Precision: Carl’s foundational experience in high-end print production and advertising instilled a mastery of complex workflows where there is no margin for error. The rigors of print—managing exacting tolerances, material chemistry, and unforgiving deadlines—directly inform his disciplined approach to managing 2,000-acre land portfolios and sophisticated building projects.

• Accomplished Artist & Curator: With over 30 years of creative practice, Carl has exhibited his personal work in Kolkata, San Francisco, and Denver. His vision is deeply rooted in gallery management and the Wabi-Sabi philosophy—prioritizing authenticity and the raw beauty of natural materials.

• Global Explorer: His perspective is further shaped by numerous cultural immersions across the globe and motorcycle documentary spanning the Indian subcontinent and the Americas.

• Personal Legacy: Carl’s highest achievements are his daughters, Coco and Anouk.
