More than 50 years ago, a young boy rode horseback into Jackson Hole and was awestruck by its pristine beauty. The visual qualities of the valley's rugged mountains and scenic vistas later inspired Paul von Gontard to return and build his cattle ranch here, upon what was once the old Cheney Homestead. Our philosophy today is to instill that vision into thoughtful planning for the Meadows at Melody Ranch.

The Meadows at Melody Ranch has incorporated time-honored concepts of historic ranch development into its current master plan, to preserve the open character of horse and cattle pastures and hay meadows while allowing native and natural vegetation to protect and shade its buildings.

Our philosophical approach is that maintaining these views and landscapes will enhance and protect what we value so highly - the freedom to live in and appreciate the wide open spaces of the hard-won West.
