The history of the Property dates back ...
The history of the Property dates back to the 1870s when the Conaway Ranch was one of the first cattle ranches in the region.
Howard Hughes, Summa Corporation, owned the Conaway Ranch in the 1970s where he intended to develop a destination resort. In the 1980s a developer drilled water wells, built a community sanitary sewer and leach field, and built a 9-hole golf course on the Property. A full 18-hole course was planned and could be accommodated. The golf course is grown over with natural cover, but pressure pumps and some underground infrastructure remain. A domestic well and the community leach field served several homes and golf club facilities during the years that the golf course operated, and currently serves two existing homes on the golf course.
