Raised on a remote cattle ranch in south central Montana, Jim began his education in a one-room schoolhouse. He went on to St. Paul’s School subsequently earning his BA from Yale University. Jim joined Hall and Hall in 1972 as one of two partners. He and a growing number of pioneering co-owners and partners have built Hall and Hall into one of the largest rural real estate firms in the world. Jim is a retired polo player, an avid skier, a fly fisherman and has served on the Advisory Council of Yellowstone Forever and the Montana Nature Conservancy. He is actively involved with his wife, Anne Kent Taylor, in the operation of both a safari company and a foundation focusing on wildlife conservation in Kenya. Retiring as a managing director of Hall and Hall in 2012, he remains a full time real estate partner and a principal and director of Hall and Hall Incorporated.
As a licensed real estate broker since 2003 and owner of a pure-bred Angus ranch since 1994, Ken is intimately acquainted with the complexity and rewards of balancing agriculture, land stewardship, and sound business practices in today’s West. A native of Utah, Ken spent many formative years working on his family’s ranch in Tetonia, Idaho, developing his lifelong passions for skiing, fly-fishing, and old-fashioned hard work. He earned a degree in engineering from Utah State University and an MBA from Pepperdine. After an early career in the aerospace industry, Ken returned to Teton Valley, Idaho, where he now manages the family Angus operation, works as a real estate broker, and plays as a husband, father and avid outdoorsman. Active in his community, Ken has served on the boards of directors of the Community Foundations of Teton Valley and Jackson Hole, the Teton Regional Land Trust, and Teton Valley’s Family Safety Network.
Situated at the end of a private road adjacent to the Bridger-Teton National Forest, the Flying A Ranch has been in the same family for fifty years functioning both as a family retreat and a successful dude ranch. The setting is sensational backing up to the Gros Ventre Mountain Range and commanding dramatic views of the rugged Wind River Mountains across the Green River Valley to the southeast. Originally opened in 1926 the ranch features a lodge, the famous Guilded Moose Saloon perched on the edge of one of the ranch’s three stocked lakes, eight rustic but well-appointed log guest cabins, a classic western barn, a shop and multiple accommodations for staff. Spread across 360 critical deeded acres with additional grazing for horses, the Flying A offers key access, only 55 miles south and east of Jackson, to over 40 trails into the user-friendly adjacent national forest. Flying A is a perfect size for either a high-end exclusive guest ranch or a private family or corporate retreat.
