History
Originally established as a working cattle ranch in 1883, the property was acquired in 2006 by Dr. Scott Campbell and his wife Sandy, who envisioned a sustainable resort blending luxury with traditional ranching. After years of development across its 140,000 acres, the retreat officially opened to guests in 2018, featuring innovative reversible golf courses designed by Dan Hixson. Today, it remains a premier destination for Western hospitality, raising grass-fed Red Angus cattle and American Range goats alongside its resort operations.
