A Legacy of Extraordinary Living

Founded in 1994 by visionary Michael Meldman in Scottsdale, Arizona, Discovery Land Company has redefined the concept of private luxury living. With a portfolio spanning over 35 ultra-exclusive communities across the globe and annual revenues exceeding $1 billion, Discovery is not just a developer; it is a curator of lifestyle.

From the sun-drenched coasts of the Bahamas to the snowy peaks of the Rockies, Discovery properties are known for their "barefoot luxury" ethos—where world-class amenities meet a relaxed, family-first atmosphere. Now, they bring their signature touch to the shores of the largest natural freshwater lake in the West.

Territory 1889: A New Frontier

Situated on 1,700 pristine acres west of US-93 near Blacktail Mountain, Territory 1889 (formerly known as the Flathead Lake Club) represents the pinnacle of mountain-lake living. Approved by Flathead County Commissioners in August 2025, this development pays homage to Montana's year of statehood while setting a new standard for the future.

⛳Championship Golf

Two 18-hole courses designed by the legendary Tom Fazio, offering a challenging game set against the dramatic backdrop of the Mission Mountains and Flathead Lake.

A Glittering Montana Portfolio

The Yellowstone Club

Located in Big Sky, this is the crown jewel of the portfolio. As the world's only private ski and golf community, it boasts "Private Powder" and a membership list that reads like a Who's Who of global influence. It set the standard for what a Discovery property could be.

Iron Horse Golf Club

Situated in Whitefish, Iron Horse was one of Discovery's earliest successes. Known for its steep, challenging golf course and proximity to Glacier National Park, it established the company's foothold in the rugged beauty of Northwest Montana.

Crazy Mountain Ranch

In the Shields Valley, this working ranch offers a cowboy experience reimagined. It preserves the authentic Western heritage of Montana while delivering the impeccable service Discovery members expect.

Why Flathead Lake?

As the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, Flathead Lake offers a purity of water and landscape rarely found in the modern world. With Glacier National Park just a short drive away and Blacktail Mountain rising behind it, the location offers four seasons of outdoor adventure.

It is a place where crystal clear waters meet rugged peaks—the perfect canvas for Discovery's newest masterpiece.
