OUR STORY

Building a Legacy, One Step at a Time

At Merkava LLC, we believe greatness is built from small, deliberate steps—each one taken with intention, heart, and vision. Our story in real estate development, rehabilitation, and rentals is guided by values that reflect our commitment to honesty, excellence, and creating lasting impact in the lives of those we serve.

A Vision Born from Humble Beginnings

Our story began with the simple but powerful idea that potential is everywhere—even in the most overlooked places. We didn’t start with grand ambitions to build an empire; instead, we focused on creating something that mattered. Our first projects involved rehabbing older homes and transforming underused spaces into vibrant vacation rentals, and each one was an opportunity to breathe life into what was once forgotten.

​

From the beginning, it wasn’t just about properties—it was about people. Every home we touch is a chance to create a space where people can connect, grow, and find a sense of belonging. Whether it’s a graduation, a family reunion, or a peaceful recovery, we’ve always seen our work as more than just real estate—it’s about creating spaces where life happens.

​

The Power of Excellence in Every Detail

Excellence, for us, isn’t just a goal—it’s woven into every decision, every design, every renovation. It’s not about doing the easy thing; it’s about doing what’s right to create something that lasts. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is often found in the details, and we’ve learned that these small decisions compound into lasting impact.

​

This commitment to excellence has been the cornerstone of our work, shaping every project we’ve undertaken. From craftsmanship to community, we strive to create spaces that do more than provide shelter—they become homes, gathering places, and vital parts of the neighborhoods they serve.

​

A New Chapter: The RV Resort Development

Our story is now entering an exciting new chapter. As we begin the RV resort development, we’re bringing everything we’ve learned along the way into this next phase. This project isn’t just about developing land—it’s about creating a space where families can come together, build memories, and feel at home, no matter where they’re from.

​

We’re focused on building more than just a place to stay; we want to create a community. This project is rooted in the same care and vision that has always guided us. It’s about fostering connection, promoting growth, and offering families a space where they can feel welcome, valued, and supported.

​

A Relentless Vision for the Future

​

Our story is far from finished. Every new project pushes us to grow and evolve, staying true to our core values of integrity, quality, and community. With each new chapter, we remain committed to creating meaningful spaces and lasting connections, knowing that every small step taken leads to something greater.

Small Beginnings

By Charles Mackay

​

A traveler on the dusty road
Strewed acorns on the lea;
And one took root and sprouted up,
And grew into a tree.
Love sought its shade, at evening time,
To breathe his early vows;
And age was pleased, in heats of noon,
To bask beneath its boughs;
The dormouse loved its dangling twigs,
The birds sweet music bore;
It stood a glory in its place,
A blessing evermore.

​

A little spring had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern,
A passing stranger scooped a well
Where weary men might turn;
He walled it in, and hung with care
A ladle at the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did,
But judged that all might drink.
He paused again, and lo! the well,
By summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues
And saved a life beside.

​

A dreamer dropped a random thought;
‘Twas old, and yet ’twas new;
A simple fancy of the brain,
But strong in being true.
It shone upon a genial mind,
And, lo! its light became
A lamp of life, a beacon ray,
A monitory flame;
The thought was small, its issue great;
A watch-fire on the hill;
It shed its radiance far adown,
And cheers the valley still.

​

A nameless man, amid a crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall a word of Hope and Love,
Unstudied from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath—
It raised a brother from the dust,
It saved a soul from death.
O germ! O fount! O word of love!
O thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last.

This poem was printed and framed in our first rehabbed home turned short-term rental. It’s become one of our favorites, serving as a daily reminder of the transformation we’ve witnessed—and the transformation still to come. From small beginnings to meaningful change, it beautifully captures the essence of what we do: taking something and turning it into something bigger—something that serves, nurtures, and grows.
