Mountain Legends Ranch

Project Description:

Mountain Legends Ranch (MLR) is a 197 acre neighborhood development in Teton County, ID. MLR has used Smart Growth concepts in the design of the neighborhood. The development consists of 1 acre Ranch Lots, with 1/4 acre building envelopes, and Cabin Lots, with an average lot size of 1/3 acre. 50% of the land is open space, and the developed areas are clustered throughout the development, allowing all residents to enjoy the open space. Part of the open space will be farmed into perpetuity, as agriculture is the heritage of the valley. MLR has a centralized water system and half of the development is serviced with centralized septic systems. MLR also supports the surrounding community through financial donations and transfer fees. MLR has set up a 1% transfer fee from all sales now into perpetuity that will go to the Teton Valley Education Foundation. In addition, the developers are making contributions to the Hospital, Sheriff's Department, the Capital Improvements Plan and the Teton Basin Ice and Recreation.

GY Framework Progress:

Mountain Legends Ranch will break ground in June and they are adhering to the principles of the GY-Framework. Throughout construction and post-build
out, the farm will stay active. They will host a tour late summer or early fall.
