Club shareholders approved the sale of the 160-acre property in Lyndhurst to the Conservation Fund, a Virginia-based non-profit organization.  The deal was for $14.75 million.

The Conservation Fund purchases property as part of its stated mission "to pursue environmental preservation and economic development."

When the deal closed, Acacia was able to liquidate nearly $4 million in debt that has accrued over the last decade as expenses rose while membership steadily declined.
