Southfork Landing announces plans to build a boutique resort hotel, spa and conference center with The PlumpJack Group.

GARDEN VALLEY, ID. — Southfork Landing, southwest Idaho’s unique, conservation-oriented, outdoor adventure residential community is making an important announcement as development plans continue to unfold and move ahead. “We’re excited about the progress of our spectacular river front development along the South Fork of the Payette River,” said C. Lloyd Mahaffey, a Principal on the development team. “We’re pleased to announce that we’ve finalized a relationship with The PlumpJack Group (www.plumpjack.com) to create an 80 cottage luxury inn, spa, and conference center within 50 minutes of Boise.

PlumpJack Group Selected to Develop Luxury Inn and Spa

One of the highlights of Southfork Landing’s master plan is a luxury resort with an array of amenities including 80 luxury condominium units, restaurant, conference facility, fitness center, spa, and retail space. An agreement has been signed with The PlumpJack Group in San Francisco, California to collaborate on development and operation of the Inn. The PlumpJack Group, founded in 1992, is renowned for luxury resorts (PlumpJack Squaw Valley Inn, Tahoe, and The Carneros Inn in Napa Valley, world class wineries (PlumpJack Winery in Oakville and Cade on Howell Mountain), wine stores in San Francisco, as well as restaurant development and management (Jack Falstaff and PlumpJack Cafe in San Francisco and Balboa Cafe in San Francisco and Mill Valley). The design and construction of the hotel will be modeled after The Carneros Inn in Napa Valley and the historic Charters Mansion on the promontory at Southfork will house the welcome center, lobby and concierge. It is expected to take approximately 22 months to complete and the Grand Opening is scheduled for the Spring of 2011. “PlumpJack is thrilled to be working with the entire Southfork Landing development team. We both share an enthusiasm for sense of place and are extremely community minded and committed to conservation. This is and will be an exciting project for all”, said Hilary Newsom, CEO of the PlumpJack Group.

This exciting development with PlumpJack and the opening of a tremendous new amenity marks a dramatic expansion for Garden Valley as an outdoor resort destination. No matter the season, Southfork Landing, with its pristine waters, conservation oriented open spaces, protected river frontage and “green” architecture, offers something for every outdoor enthusiast looking to enjoy Authentic Idaho. From world-class nordic skiing and snow-tubing, to fly fishing in our private lakes and streams, unparalleled kayaking and whitewater rafting in our white water park and the river, to the hundreds of miles of adjacent wilderness trails for snowmobiling, hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, Southfork Landing (www.southforklanding.com) in Garden Valley, Idaho, is an outdoor adventure lover’s ideal base camp.

I just arrived at Southfork Landing and was greeted by many of the new residents. As I entered the property I was happy to see Mr. & Mrs. Canada Goose, quietly swimming with their new brood of 12 chicks in the placid waters of one of our ponds. Reflected in this liquefied mirror, was the mountains and ghost like images of a herd of fifteen cow elk quietly attending to their calves, who hopped and skipped in the meadow, exuberantly testing new legs with obvious enthusiasm for life. The wild flowers are just beginning to peak out and I observed a coyote hopping along a creek, consumed by the task of breakfast and focused on a muskrat navigating a tumbling brook anxiously looking for an escape. Beyond this scene, I was captivated by the beauty of spring showers rolling over the west end of the valley, bathed in intermittent sunlight that highlighted cumulus buildup. The beauty of the scene compelled me to take a walk along the river, slowly clearing, as high country runoff diminishes with summer around the corner. I was transformed by the different songs sung by a plethora of birds that seemed to orchestrate their serenade in concert with the cascading water seemingly impatient to find its way to the pacific ocean. As I took all of this in, I thanked my lucky stars for the beauty of it all, anxious to share its magic with residents of a more human nature.
