scenery at amangiri is pretty incredible
Hope to get there this fall.

im always interested in luxury properties that have huge acreage, with activities onsite. elk mountain resort bordered government land,
There are quite a few ranches bordering on government land.

it would be great to eventually see more aman like that, like amangiri.
