Raised between Alabama and the Cayman Islands, Bill joined Hall and Hall as a ranch partner in the fall of 1996. He came to Montana to work as a fly-fishing guide and ranch hand during a summer break from law school. Bill returned to Montana after graduation and became the Tribal Prosecutor for the Crow Tribe. In addition to his law degree, Bill holds an undergraduate degree in music from the University of Miami and remains passionate about his music. He is also a skilled photographer specializing in underwater imagery with images having been published by National Geographic, the BBC and elsewhere. He is an FAA licensed UAS (drone) Pilot which he uses for real estate photography and cinematography. He is also a hospice volunteer and dedicated practitioner of hot yoga. It was inevitable that he found his way into a real estate career as the profession stretches back four generations in his family. His love of the northern Rocky Mountain region compelled him to move to Missoula where he handles transactions in the “backyard” as well as those stretching from Florida to California. Bill is currently licensed as a real estate broker in Montana (RRE-BRO-LIC-8609), Idaho (#AB00021997), Florida (#BK3229636), Georgia (#347418), Tennessee (#317360), and California (#01455038).
Nestled amongst the rolling hills in the esteemed Santa Ynez Valley, Rancho Latigo offers a 4,675± acre bucolic landscape as the backdrop for a host of exquisite improvements. Featured in Architectural Digest, the lavish main residence designed by acclaimed architect David Leavengood features every luxury amenity imaginable, including a 10,000 bottle wine cellar, movie theater, gym, wood paneled office, six well-appointed en-suite bedrooms, and countless outdoor entertaining areas that surround the enormous swimmer’s pool. Notable architectural elements include soaring ceilings, imported and hand-carved materials, stunning hardwood floors and wood beams, and French doors throughout that take advantage of ideal indoor-outdoor living. Other improvements include top-shelf equestrian facilities, three-bedroom guesthouse, helipad, and a tennis court.
A feasibility study conducted by Coastal Vineyard Care Associates examined topography, soils and climate and identified 1,055 acres as being suitable for planting grapes on the ranch. The same consulting group submitted a planting recommendation for a boutique vineyard of 6 varietals on 53 acres utilizing existing infrastructure on the ranch. The ranch is also a strong candidate for a tax-incentivized donation of a conservation easement. The show-grade equestrian facilities feature an exquisitely designed and highly-photographed and published 11 stall stable, 10,000 square foot barn, covered riding arena, and various turnouts. Additional home and structure sites abound with utility and direct road access. This trophy property is a family legacy waiting to happen. It offers the respite and tranquility of a luxury resort with close proximity to Los Olivos and Santa Barbara. The current owner of this ranch is only the 4th owner since 1868.
