At $50 million, it's good to know that the properties are just a couple of hours apart by private plane and come fully staffed.
This is a package deal promising to capture the spirit of the West. The two ranches, one down the road from Scottsdale, Arizona, the other outside Lewiston, Montana, are both owned by Morton Fleischer, the 81-year-old real estate entrepreneur. In passing the properties along to a new steward, Fleischer and his wife, Donna, hope to provide someone with the best of the old and new American West in one fell swoop.
“I grew up watching Roy Rogers and John Wayne on the silver screen,” Fleischer says.“The Code of the West—where your word is your bond—came to define my business ethics and my life. My Midwestern childhood was right out of Mark Twain. As a serial entrepreneur, however, I became immersed in Wall Street. It soon became clear to me that if I wanted to live to be an old man, I needed escapes and to keep my soul close to the land and borrow freedom by living a diversified Western lifestyle. This is the reason these two ranches belong together. I am confident that corporate executives worldwide will relate to this.”
The pair are offered together for $50 million by Christie’s International Real Estate and its exclusive affiliates, Walt Danley Realty in Scottsdale, Arizona, and PureWest Real Estate in Bozeman, Montana.
