Private Placement, Impact Investment
A biodynamic eco-resort and agrotourism destination on the shores of Lac Al Wahda, Morocco, validated by the Centre Régional d'Investissement Fès-Meknès.
Morocco's rural interior is one of the last places where biodynamic farming, authentic culture, and unspoiled landscape still converge. Jardin des Sens is the infrastructure to turn that convergence into a lasting enterprise.
Situated on the eastern bank of Lac Al Wahda, the largest reservoir in Africa, the 10 509 m² parcel occupies a position of exceptional natural and strategic value. The province of Taounate, with 612 000 inhabitants and an agricultural heritage spanning centuries, is a region defined by medicinal plants, olive groves, and a diaspora deeply invested in its future.

The project was selected through a formal competitive tender process administered by the Centre Régional d'Investissement de Fès-Meknès. Annexe 3 of the investment convention was signed April 2026, committing to the programme described in this document.
Jardin des Sens is conceived as a maison d'hôtes and agrotourism destination that earns its position through the quality of the land, the integrity of its farming practices, and a genuine integration with the Ouartzagh community. Every element, from the herb garden to the artisan workshops, generates both revenue and measurable social return.

Boutique eco-lodge accommodation for national and international visitors, positioned at the intersection of biodynamic agrotourism and authentic Moroccan rural culture. Direct lake access.

Jardin des Sens is located in one of Morocco's most underserved agricultural provinces. The project is designed from the ground up to deliver measurable, durable impact alongside financial return.

The financial model is structured around two distinct revenue layers: a contractually secured base from long-term atelier leases (379 200 MAD/year, paid annually in advance with three-month deposit), and variable tourism revenues that grow progressively as the resort reaches operating maturity. Positive net result is projected from Year 3 of operation.

In 1886, Julius Maggi looked at the Emmental valley in Switzerland and saw something others overlooked: a rural population suffering from poverty and malnutrition, and an opportunity to change that through a commercial product. His invention, the soluble legume soup, was not designed to be charitable. It was designed to be viable, repeatable, and transformative. The enterprise and the impact were inseparable.
"The province of Taounate has 612,000 inhabitants, a heritage of medicinal plants, and a diaspora that wants to invest in its future. It has no infrastructure that captures that value. Jardin des Sens is that infrastructure."
Positive net result from N+3. First dividend distribution from N+4. Stable base of 379,200 MAD in secured lease revenues from year one. Voluntary exit window from year 5. A 12-year financial model validated by Bank of Africa.
30 permanent local jobs in a commune where formal employment is scarce. Three ateliers anchoring female economic participation. A kindergarten embedded in the CRI investment commitments. Biodynamic farming that preserves the land and its biodiversity for the next generation.

Maggi did not choose between profit and purpose. He understood that durable enterprise in an underserved region requires both to be built simultaneously. A business that extracts without returning loses its social licence. A project that gives without generating revenue does not last. Jardin des Sens is designed on this same principle: the financial return and the social return are structurally linked, not competing.
Jardin des Sens is a private placement for a maximum of 10 qualified investors. The full financial model, CRI documentation, and Letters of Intent are available upon request under a mutual NDA.
