Description / Remarks
There’s a piece of the American West that remains nearly untouched. Spacious. Quiet. Time honoring. Serene. Welcome to wide open Wyoming. This captivating jewel of the west is ready to bring your vision of a Black Hills lifestyle to life. What this means is up to you. From horseback riding, hiking, fishing and hunting, to developing the approved golf course and homesites, to simply owning your own private Black Hills estate, you can dream and imagine as far as the panoramic, breathtaking views will take you.
The property is ready for development with the initial infrastructure in place. From icon landscape to awe-inspiring views, the property/ownership concepts are three-fold: The mountain-top, complete with planned golf course, the mountain-side lots, and the two exquisite move-in ready homes.
The original vision was a world class golf development of estate homes centered around incredible topography, terrain, forests, cliffs, meadows, mesas and endless views. The current ownership has invested millions of dollars in water wells, roads, grading, planning, permits and construction.

Golf Course Design
Designed for a setting over 1,000 feet above the valley floor, this Hills-Forrest-Smith championship golf course is sure to garner a “best of” rating from discerning golfers. With an eye toward preserving the high meadows and pine forests while accentuating the sheer rock cliff faces, the Arthur Hills design team took full advantage of the natural landscape with their beautiful and strategic routing. Clinging to the edges of the plateau, its fairways and greens reveal amazing panoramic vistas, while the absence of residences ensures that members and guests will enjoy golf in its purest form.
