Build your own family traditions living at the top of the Rockies.

 

The vast shortgrass prairie and rolling hills that define the community’s southern border have been the storied home of cattle ranchers and livestock trails for more than 100 years.

Sweetgrass was established by a family that has worked this land as cattle ranchers for over 100 years. Land stewardship, the restorative power of open space, access to nature and the incredible bond created through community and landscape are core values of the Sweetgrass community.

After more than a decade of thoughtful land use planning, the Lummis family is excited to bring the same commitment of stewardship and sustainability to the Sweetgrass community.

The founders of Sweetgrass know this place is special and are committed to preserving its unique western character by:

  • Embracing design that highlights the ranch’s natural features & short grass prairie

  • Cultivating a community vision geared to a friendly western lifestyle and high quality of life

  • Preparing a place for everyone, with a wide variety of home sizes and types to meet the needs of students, singles, families, empty-nesters, and retirees

  • Maintaining a diverse set of recreational amenities

  • Promoting wide open spaces and protecting viewsheds by locating as many homes as possible on greenbelts or natural areas with good pedestrian connectivity

  • Supporting community design that emphasizes sustainability and sound land stewardship

 

Your Home on the Range.
