  • Leverage Parker Ranch’s vast size as the driver of the region’s identity.
  • Assemble a team to guide ways to keep the ranch intact, direct future activities, and steward natural and cultural resources.
  • Identify land conservation strategies that allow the transfer of specific land rights to select properties while retaining control over the land.
  • Identify parcels for immediate sale that would not compromise the overall integrity of the ranch and its distinctive role in Waimea.
  • Identify strategic partnerships that create opportunities to monetize assets at relatively low levels of risk.

Outcomes:

  • Established a clear vision for the small-town, ranch setting that will guide future decisions.
  • Near-term value unlocked by the sale of non-core properties and the transfer of specific land rights, including the sale of conservation easements.
  • Sophisticated agricultural and leading ranching practices that continued Parker Ranch’s on-going stewardship.
  • Implemented development standards to bolster the Parker Ranch reputation.
  • Established the platform for consistent earnings for the Trust and its beneficiaries.
