OUR ENTRANCE TO THE ULTRALUXURY MARKET
Native Resorts LLC (“Native Resorts”) is proud to present this OM teaser and comprehensive pre-development chronology for the creation of an ultra-luxury experiential resort in Ennis, Montana (the “Project”).
Our vision for this proposal is to establish a financially sound and strategically robust framework for developing a premier branded resort, situated at the crossroads of the Big Sky, Ennis, and Yellowstone markets. This project aspires to become a globally recognized destination, offering unparalleled authentic experiences in the ultra-luxury sector.
With over 50 years of combined experience in the lodging industry, the Native Resorts team has a proven track record of acquiring, developing, and repositioning world-class assets for some of the most prestigious brands in the industry. This marks our first project under the Native Resorts banner, and we understand that a diligent and methodical approach at the outset will create significant value and cost savings throughout the development process.
In the following document, we unveil the blueprint for what will not only be our first Native Resorts property but the beginning of a legacy that redefines the ultra-luxury resort experience. This resort will awaken the senses, immerse guests in transformative experiences, and set a new standard for the industry. It is the first step in our journey to reshape how the world experiences luxury travel—an endeavor that will echo across decades and change lives.
WHERE LAND AND LEGACY CONVERGE
Rooted in ancient traditions and the sacred wilderness, this is a journey into the soul of experiential ultra-luxury.
LONE MOUNTAIN, BIG SKY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Native Resorts unveils the Montana Proof-of-Concept—a visionary retreat that redefines the meaning of luxury through absolute exclusivity, transformative experiences, and profound cultural immersion.
Spanning over 1,400 acres at the base of Montana’s rugged mountain ranges, Tolman Canyon Ranch is a rare sanctuary where vast wilderness meets a design ethos rooted in artistry and reverence. This extraordinary property, with its sweeping ranchland, majestic foothills, and pristine private creeks, invites guests on a journey of selfdiscovery through exclusive, curated experiences that harmonize with the natural world.
Native Resorts exists to establish a new global benchmark in ultra-luxury hospitality, where each guest is more than a visitor—they become part of a sacred and immersive story that unfolds within one of the world’s most protected destinations. With an exclusive collection of hidden villas, private suites, and all-season tents, Tolman Canyon Ranch offers a highly personalized experience that seamlessly marries indigenous heritage with the rarest elements of private luxury. Every detail—from the rammed earth and stone architecture to the private jet access and exclusive ski chalet amenities— reflects an encounter with beauty and refinement unlike anything seen before.
Here, each guest will write their own chapter in an evolving legacy of sophistication, privacy, and wonder, where every moment is a transformation and every stay unveils a story of lasting connection.
PRE-DEVELOPMENT STATUS
Over the past several years, Native Resorts has made significant strides toward bringing this groundbreaking proof-of-concept to life. Our methodical and precise approach has led us to Tolman Canyon Ranch—a site with extraordinary potential to showcase our vision. We have advanced key environmental assessments, established strong relationships with local planning authorities, and are now in the final stages of preliminary due diligence. With no entitlement risks, this property offers a clear and achievable path forward.
Upon execution of the purchase agreement, and with deposits transitioning to nonrefundable status, we will immediately initiate master planning, architectural design, and finalize the selection of our world-class construction team. Native Resorts is uniquely positioned with a vertically integrated model, serving as both developer and operator, ensuring that every detail—from design to service—is executed to deliver the unmatched exclusivity and immersive experience that defines our brand.
By acquiring an expansive, pristine ranch, Native Resorts will bring our vision to life on an untouched canvas, allowing us to create a property that blends heritage, luxury, and a transformative sense of place. This approach enables us to craft a landmark destination that not only redefines the ultra-luxury market but sets a global standard, showcasing the future of hospitality on the world’s stage.
WE START BY ASKING PERMISSION
Guided by the original custodians of the land, and armed with the stories that came before us, we honor a legacy to create the inimitable.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Nestled within the secluded mountains at the intersection of Montana’s Big Sky, Ennis, and Yellowstone markets, Native Resorts is creating something truly extraordinary—an ultra-luxury resort where the spirit of the land and the pinnacle of exclusivity unite. Spread across 1,400 acres of majestic wilderness, Tolman Canyon Ranch transcends traditional hospitality, offering an immersive journey into a world where cultural heritage, transformative wellness, and sustainability are woven into every guest experience. Separate from the resort, a limited number of residential lots will be subdivided and sold upon the resort’s completion as a Phase II.
A SANCTUARY BEYOND COMPARISON
Tolman Canyon Ranch is more than a resort—it’s a sanctuary born from the land’s ancient stories, where ultra-luxury meets timeless heritage. With just 16 private villas, allseason tents, and cabin suites, the property feels more like the world’s most exclusive luxury compound than a traditional resort. Each accommodation has been meticulously crafted as a personal retreat, where privacy reigns, and every detail is curated to perfection.
This intimate scale allows guests to enter a secluded realm of their own—an ultraluxurious haven tucked within Montana’s mountainside. Blending indigenous architectural traditions with refined Montana aesthetics, these architectural marvels rise organically from the landscape, creating a destination defined by awe-inspiring beauty, seclusion, and serenity. Tolman Canyon Ranch offers the rarest of luxuries: a truly private, transformative experience, where each stay feels profoundly personal, untethered from the outside world.
EXPERIENCES THAT REDEFINE LUXURY
At Native Resorts, every moment invites guests to step into a deeper narrative. Immersive, transformative activities such as horseback archery, spiritual ceremonies, and guided fly-fishing are led by local custodians of the land. From intimate cultural rituals to private helicopter tours over Yellowstone, each experience is designed to engage the senses and awaken a powerful connection to this sacred landscape. Tolman Canyon Ranch is more than a luxury retreat—it is a journey of transformation, where each stay imprints a lasting story that transcends the ordinary and resonates in the soul.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
WELLNESS ELEVATED TO A RITUALISTIC ART
Our signature wellness center will be a sanctuary of renewal, offering more than relaxation. By merging contemporary spa treatments with ancient indigenous healing rituals, guests embark on an immersive, personal journey of transformation. Sweat lodge ceremonies, river blessings, and meditative walks along sacred trails draw upon the land’s energy, elevating wellness to a ritualistic art that nourishes body, mind, and spirit.
CULINARY MASTERY: A TRIBUTE TO THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE
Culinary offerings at Native Resorts will rival the finest in the world, drawing from Montana’s rich flavors and sacred Native American recipes from our site directly. From Michelin-level dining to communal feasts under the stars, every meal is a tribute to the land, honoring its bounty while pushing the boundaries of culinary excellence. Guests will savor locally sourced ingredients prepared with both tradition and innovation.
SUSTAINABILITY: ROOTED IN REVERENCE FOR THE EARTH
Native Resorts is unwavering in its commitment to sustainability. Our development incorporates eco-conscious practices, including grey water recycling, green roofs, and a potential water treatment facility—all designed to preserve the natural beauty of Tolman Canyon Ranch without compromising on ultra-luxury standards and materials.
A VISIONARY APPROACH TO AUTHENTIC LUXURY
By partnering with Native American Tribes and local artisans, we ensure that every experience, design, and service at Native Resorts honors the heritage of the land. This authenticity forms the foundation of a new kind of luxury—culturally immersive, spiritually awakening, and deeply respectful of ancient traditions.
A MILESTONE IN ULTRA-LUXURY DEVELOPMENT
Native Resorts is not just another resort—it is the future of ultra-luxury hospitality. By controlling every aspect of development and operation, we are creating a destination that will redefine the industry. This is our chance to craft an irreplicable legacy, where ancient stories meet luxury in unprecedented ways. The Montana story is only the beginning.
YOUR CHAPTER IN OUR STORY
STEP INTO NATIVE MONTANA, A WORLD BEYOND THE KNOWN
Welcome to an unparalleled echelon of indulgence for both body and spirit, where a profound experience awaits. This is the new benchmark of ultra-luxury—an exclusive enclave where service reaches its zenith, redefining the very essence of ultimate hospitality.
Native Resorts is not just a destination; it is a realm where the boundaries of reality blur and where every moment is crafted to transform you. Hidden in the remote and sacred Madison Valley and on the doorstep to Big Sky, this is a place where ancient spirits walk the land, where the wisdom of the ages whispers through the trees, and where the earth itself seems to breathe with the rhythms of the past. Here, you are not merely a guest; you are a participant in a grand narrative that is as old as the Madison Mountain range and as infinite as the Montana sky.
THE INVITATION
ENTERING THE ANCIENT CIRCLE
Only a select few will ever hear of this mystical sanctuary, and fewer still will be invited to experience it. The Custodians of Native Resorts reach out to you, initiating a dialogue that transcends the superficial. This conversation is not about preferences or comfort —it is about understanding the deep currents that shape your life, about uncovering the hidden desires and the unspoken quests that have brought you to this point.
Soon after, you receive a delivery that is more than a welcome package—it is an initiation into the mysteries of the land. Inside, a map unfolds, hand-drawn on aged parchment, revealing the sacred sites, ancient paths, and spiritual markers that define the landscape. Alongside it, a talisman—a carefully chosen artifact infused with the energy of the land—serves as your guide and protector, a symbol of the journey you are about to undertake.
THE ARRIVAL
CROSSING THE THRESHOLD - DAY 1
Your arrival at Native Resorts is not merely a transition—it is a crossing into another realm. A private helicopter lifts you above the mundane, carrying you into the heart of the sacred. As the landscape below transforms into a tapestry of wilderness and ancient beauty, your Personal Curator (PC) engages you in a ritualistic preparation. You are offered elixirs blended with herbs and roots known only to the native healers, designed to attune your senses to the frequencies of the land.
Upon landing, there are no check-ins, no formalities. You are greeted by the Custodians in a sacred ceremony, one that has been performed for centuries, perhaps millennia. The ceremony is not a performance; it is a rite of passage. The earth beneath your feet, the smoke rising from the sacred fire, the rhythmic chants of the Custodians—all converge to cleanse your spirit and prepare you for the journey ahead. This is your induction into the ancient circle, a moment where time itself seems to pause, and the modern world fades away.
THE ARRIVAL
CROSSING THE THRESHOLD - DAY 1
Your residence is not a mere room but a sacred space. The advanced amenities are expertly concealed, integrated with ancient energy flows to ensure that the aesthetic harmony of classic elegance and intricate craftsmanship remains unspoiled. This meticulous blending of the modern and the ancient creates a sanctuary where state-ofthe-art comforts enhance your experience while preserving the serene, historic charm that defines the space. As you explore, you find relics imbued with power—each one a piece of a larger puzzle, a key to understanding the ancient spirits that still inhabit the valley. A guidebook, bound in leather and etched with symbols of the land, offers not just explanations but meditations, urging you to connect with the energies that surround you.
The first day concludes with an immersive exploration of the property. Your PC and the Resort Manager take you on a journey that is as much about the unseen as the seen.
Whether on horseback, electric snowmobile, or by foot, you traverse paths that lead to hidden groves, sacred springs, and ancient ruins. Here, the land speaks, and your guides help you listen. The landscape itself seems to shift and breathe, revealing new paths and secret springs as if responding to your presence. Along the way, the unexpected becomes the norm—a sudden encounter with a wild spirit of the land, a spontaneous ritual performed at the perfect moment, or an invitation to join the Executive Chef in a ceremonial cooking session, where food becomes a medium for spiritual connection.
AWAKENING THE SPIRIT
EMBRACING THE UNKNOWN - DAY 2
The second day is dedicated to awakening your inner self. As the first light of dawn touches the valley, you are led to a secret grove, where a Shaman awaits. This is not a guided walk—it is a Spirit Quest. You are invited to journey deep into the wilderness, not just physically but spiritually. The Shaman shares the ancient knowledge of the land, teaching you to see beyond the physical, to understand the language of the trees, the stones, and the wind. As you move deeper into the wild, the landscape around you seems to come alive, guiding you toward hidden truths and forgotten wisdom. You are invited to engage in rituals that have been kept secret from the outside world—until now. These rituals are not just symbolic; they are transformative, designed to unlock dormant potentials within you and align you with the deeper forces at play in the world.
AWAKENING THE SPIRIT
EMBRACING THE UNKNOWN - DAY 2
Upon your return, you are led to the Healing Earth Spa, a sanctuary where the line between luxury and spirituality dissolves. Here, treatments are more than skin deep— they are rituals of renewal, drawing on the sacred elements of the land. You might find yourself wrapped in a ceremonial blanket, as river stones, heated by the sun and water, are placed upon your body, aligning your energies with those of the earth. Or perhaps you will immerse yourself in a sacred bath infused with wild herbs, prepared in silence by a Native healer, each movement a prayer.
But the day does not end here. As the sun sets, you are invited to a gathering at the Sacred Fire Circle. Here, the Custodians lead you through a Fire Dance, a ritual of purification and empowerment. The flames leap into the night sky, carrying with them the prayers and intentions of all who participate. This is a communal experience, yet deeply personal, a moment of shared transcendence. As the fire burns, so too does the old self, making way for the new. The Custodians seem to know exactly what you need, guiding you through the night with an intuitive understanding that leaves you both comforted and awakened.
THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
DISCOVERING THE MYSTICAL - DAY 3
The third day is one of exploration—both of the outer world and the inner self. It begins with an American Safari from your residence at dawn: As you watch thousands of elk majestically traverse the mountain, their synchronized movement creates a breathtaking spectacle of natural choreography. The herd's graceful, rhythmic motion across the rugged terrain transforms the landscape into a living tapestry, where the shifting patterns and collective flow of the elk give the illusion that the mountain is moving in harmony with its inhabitants. This is not just a visual experience—it is a spiritual one, where the connection between the earth and its creatures becomes palpable.
Your journey continues with a flight over the sacred lands of Yellowstone, a journey that is not just about sightseeing but about understanding the profound connection between the earth and its inhabitants. As you hover above the geothermal wonders and vast wilderness, your guide shares the ancient stories that have shaped these lands, offering insights that go beyond the scientific and into the spiritual.
THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
DISCOVERING THE MYSTICAL - DAY 3
Back on the ground, the day is yours to shape. You may choose to engage in the creation of a sacred bow, guided by a master craftsman who teaches you the ancient techniques used by the warriors of old on horseback. Or perhaps you will retreat to the mountains for some skiing at the Alpine Base Lounge, a place of quiet reflection and deep comfort, where the fire’s warmth and the mountain’s cool embrace create a perfect balance. Every choice you make is guided by a subtle intuition, as if the land itself is whispering the next step in your journey.
The evening brings a different kind of journey. You are invited to the Cave of Echoes, where sound and silence intertwine. Here, surrounded by ancient stone, you partake in a ritual of sound healing, where the vibrations of sacred instruments and the chants of the Custodians resonate through your very being. This is a place where the past, present, and future converge, and where your spirit finds its true voice. The experience leaves you feeling as if you have touched something eternal, something that has always been a part of you, waiting to be awakened.
RETURNING WITH WISDOM
FOREVER ENRICHED - DAY 4
Your final day at Native Resorts is a time of reflection and integration. As the first rays of sunlight filter through your residence, you find a sacred object placed at your bedside— a gift from the Custodians, chosen with care to symbolize the transformation you have undergone. This is not a souvenir, but a talisman, a reminder of the journey you have taken and the wisdom you now carry.
Before your departure, you are invited to partake in a closing ceremony. This is a moment of gratitude and farewell, where the Custodians offer their blessings and you, in turn, offer your reflections. You are encouraged to write in the journal provided, capturing the essence of your experience, not just for yourself, but for those who will come after you. The Custodians share a final, knowing smile, leaving you with the sense that this chapter is but the beginning of a much larger story.
As you prepare to leave, you realize that the journey is far from over. The world you return to will never be the same, for you have been forever changed. The land, the spirits, the ancient wisdom—they are now a part of you, and you, a part of them. Your chapter in our story has been written, but the story itself continues, waiting for the next moment, the next experience, the next awakening.

PRE-DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE
Native Resorts is committed to establishing a marquee ultra-luxury resort that will redefine standards in the industry. Our goal is to create a one-of-a-kind destination that offers unrivaled lodging experiences, exceptional service, cutting-edge food and beverage offerings, a signature destination spa, and a robust recreational, adventure, and spiritual program. The development of this irreplaceable asset is designed to solidify Native Resorts as a premier destination, perfectly aligned with the tastes of Montana's high-end market. This document provides a strategic roadmap outlining the path to achieving this vision.
1. FAMILIARIZATION
Thus far, our team has completed two initial visits to the property. Within the next 30 days, we will conduct a more detailed visit, bringing in an expert land planner to explore the Ennis site comprehensively. Partnered with OSM (On Site Management) and VITA Planning, our team of skilled consultants will meticulously evaluate county zoning regulations and land use requirements, ensuring we clearly understand any constraints, costs, and necessary timelines. Simultaneously, we will begin preliminary assessments of the site’s physical characteristics to identify potential infrastructure needs, ideal building locations, and overall site density.
2. FEASIBILITY
After securing the land contract and completing a preliminary site plan, we will engage a leading global consultancy to perform an in-depth feasibility and market segmentation analysis. This analysis will examine the regional lodging demand and evaluate the viability of our planned lodging offerings within this location. The professional feasibility study will not only validate our vision but also serve as a cornerstone document for future equity and debt capital raises.
Following the appointment of the feasibility consultant, Native Resorts will craft a Vision Statement that articulates the project's entitlements and long-term vision. This statement will position the development as Native Resorts’ inaugural property, establishing a new benchmark in the ultra-luxury segment. We will arrange a meeting or conference call with the consultant to align on the objectives, followed by a comprehensive on-site visit to assess the local demographics and suitability of the land.
The feasibility study will deliver key recommendations, including:
(a) A validation or refinement of our proposed product size and quality, ensuring it aligns with market demand and entitlement parameters.
(b) Projections for occupancy and nightly rates.
(c) A detailed 10-year pro forma operating statement projecting financial performance postcompletion.
Additionally, the study will provide a valuation of the project at three critical stages: as-is, upon completion, and upon stabilization, giving us a robust financial outlook as we move forward.
3. PROGRAM
Following the insights provided by the Feasibility Study, Native Resorts will finalize the Program for Hotel Planning (PHP). The PHP will serve as a comprehensive blueprint for the project, detailing the area matrix that includes unit mix, public spaces, back-of-house operations, on-site recreational facilities, amenities, and any residential components. This document is essential to the pre-development phase, often referred to as the “Bible” of the project, ensuring that every aspect of the development is meticulously accounted for and strategically planned.
4. PRELIMINARY MASTERPLAN & DESIGN
Leveraging the PHP and Feasibility Study recommendations, our team will work closely with land planner VITA, Malek Alqadi and the design experts at Luxury Frontiers to craft the preliminary Master Plan. This will involve carefully considering the site’s natural contours, optimizing view corridors, evaluating solar and wind exposure, and identifying ideal locations for resort components, infrastructure, and guest circulation. We will also place a strong emphasis on creating a memorable sense of arrival. The goal is to produce a standout project that sets a new standard in the Montana luxury resort market.
5. STRUCTURE
In collaboration with Sam Ahuja of Greenberg Traurig acting as in-house counsel, we will develop the most advantageous structure for protecting capital and sweat equity during the capitalraising process. This may involve a General Partner/Limited Partner (GP/LP) structure or a simplified investment approach, ensuring that Native Resorts is protected while maximizing returns on investment and existing contributions.
6. PROJECT COST & SCHEDULE
The team will bring on a cost consultant to prepare a preliminary turn-key cost estimate for the project. This document will serve as an indicative budget, providing a solid financial framework to guide the development.
7. PRO-FORMA & RETURNS ANALYSIS
With preliminary costs and phasing established, Native Resorts will develop a detailed pro forma financial statement specific to the site. This will be followed by a financial model that includes a returns analysis, incorporating key assumptions regarding debt financing and required equity. This will offer a comprehensive picture of the project’s projected financial performance and investment potential.
Native Resorts is positioned to elevate the standard of ultra-luxury resorts with a distinctive and unparalleled brand identity. The resort will be developed under the Native Resorts brand, setting a new benchmark for service excellence and guest experiences. As part of the pre-development process, we will strategically plan for property operations, working closely with Native American tribes to integrate authentic cultural experiences. This will create a brand offering unmatched depth and value, placing it among the most unique and coveted luxury destinations in the world.
9. PROJECT TEAM SELECTION
The next phase involves identifying and initiating interviews with key project members. We will execute non-binding Letters of Intent with various partners, including:
(a) The development team,
(b) The design and engineering team,
(c) The hotel manager (through a Hotel Management Agreement with Native Resorts OpCo),
(d) The construction team,
(e) A brokerage firm to assist with the capital raise, and
(f) All other necessary consultants.
Our approach is to negotiate terms while minimizing risk, with final contracts being signed only after the capital raise is successfully completed.
10. OFFERING MEMORANDUM
Once all foundational elements are secured, the team will create two detailed Offering Memorandums: one for debt financing and the other for equity investment. These documents will outline the investment opportunity, project vision, and financial projections, serving as key materials for prospective investors.
11. EXECUTION OF CAPITAL RAISE
Working closely with a brokerage firm and leveraging the expertise of Michelle Russo from HotelAve, our team will methodically pursue debt and equity financing. We will then finalize the capital stack and negotiate terms to ensure the project receives the financial backing needed to move forward.
12. CONTRACTS FINALIZATION
Once the capital stack is fully secured, Native Resorts will proceed with finalizing all contracts with development personnel, marking the official start of the project's execution phase and bringing our vision one step closer to reality.
