Master Plan

Our vision is to create a community that encompasses the best
of what the Montana lifestyle has to offer yet provides responsible stewardship for the land and wildlife while answering the call for
a dire needed niche market, our veterans.

Demand for the Project

Problem:

With veteran suicide rates at 22-23 veterans a day without any hope, we have formed a plan that will become a facility different than anywhere else in the world. There are over 5,500 veteran service organizations in the US, of which only 300 have stayed focused in what they were called to do. The problem is with these services, unless you are able to utilize multiple services at the same time that are scattered across the country, you will not find the solutions. The large system in this country is broken and it is really hard to even get an appointment. Many veterans have given up. Neil Ray Ouellette, 50, of Butte left this world on Thursday, October 8, 2020. After driving to Helena and not being able to get an appointment, Neil gave up on life. He was tired of being in pain. There are too many stories like Neil that are heartbreaking.

Solution:

Build one facility and bring several of the existing good organizations from across the country to one location. A complete array of services that deal with the whole man. That would begin with man’s spirit, then mind and then body. Services that heal the entire family and create a new future for everyone so that the veteran can earn a good living and become a solid productive member of their family. We have built this formula and it will succeed.

Old Town Sheridan will be a luxury, environmentally conscious community developed by Gideon Land Developers, LLC. Our vision is to create a community that encompasses the best of what the Montana lifestyle has to offer yet provides responsible stewardship for the land and wildlife while answering the call for a dire needed niche market, our veterans. Old Town Sheridan will consist of 800-plus residences, townhomes and high end ranchettes—focused around a gorgeous golf course and clubhouse and a top notched equestrian center surrounded by hundreds of thousands of acres of equestrian trails.

The community will also feature:

• A 5-star restaurant and Culinary Training Center
• An exclusive 60-room Bed and Breakfast Dude Ranch with a retreat center lodge/spa, wellness center and a wedding center
• A multipurpose sports center and event center for thousands of people
• A commercial/multiuse area for businesses and shops

Old Town Sheridan will also be carbon neutral smart homes and built to meet the stringent LEED for Neighborhood Development standards of the USGBC while creating a balanced power grid system that makes sense. This project will change building industry standards in Montana and the nation, leading by example to integrate low-impact design and moving toward reducing global warming.

Old Town Sheridan Investors, LLP has been formed for financing. Gideon Land Developers. LLC has been formed to bring a powerful and experienced team together solely for the success of Old Town Sheridan and will maintain control. The combined team has several hundred years of experience including thousands of resorts and developments of this category around the world. There truly is no team like it—a team capable of making this project a reality.
