FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sun West Ranch Releases Premier Home Sites to the Market

Spectacular New Home Sites Feature Views of Mountains and Madison River

Phase I Home Sites of Sun West Ranch 95% Sold Out

Cameron, MT, (August 22, 2005) Sun West Ranch today announced the official opening of Phase IIB, consisting of nine* premier, mid-meadow home sites now available for purchase. Priced from $555,000 to $975,000 and ranging from five to nearly ten acres, the home sites are set high on a bench overlooking the Madison River, with each private, pine-treed lot offering sweeping views of the Madison Range and the Continental Divide to the south and Ennis Valley to the north.

The newly released property brings the total of currently available home sites to twelve, consisting of nearly 75 acres for sale, including a spectacular mountain home designed by Van Bryan Studio Architects in Bozeman, Montana.

The new home sites of Phase IIB represent the next level of conservation-minded development at Sun West Ranch. Each home site has been carefully selected for spectacular views of the Madison River and surrounding landscapes, with a minimal aesthetic impact on the valley.

A shared-ranch community, Sun West Ranch is designed with a conservation approach by using smaller deeded sites and very large common land, rather than a sprawling development of rectangular parcels that have little regard for landforms and wildlife. Residents agree to protective covenants and architectural guidelines that conserve the land and the rural character of the Ranch, in order to keep views beautiful in perpetuity, wildlife habitat secure.

Currently, there are 21 homeowners at Sun West Ranch and 11 homes have been constructed at the ranch, most of which are almost invisible among forest surroundings. Sun West Ranch lures fly fisherman, equestrians and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a simpler, more easy-going life in Montana. While there are several full-time residents at the ranch, most owners travel to their homes here from New York City, San Francisco, Savannah, GA and from as far away as Oslo, Norway and Zurich, Switzerland.”

About Sun West Ranch
Sun West Ranch is a unique development community in a highly sought-after area of Southwestern Montana. A vast 2,000 acres, the ranch offers more than three miles of private Madison River access and features phenomenal views of the Madison Valley, Beaverhead National Forest, Madison Mountain Range and the Continental Divide. Sun West Ranch is the antithesis of a "typical development." From its active community outreach to its public stand on conservation and preservation, Sun West Ranch preserves a western legacy and ranching way of life for generations to come.
