In the late 1930's the Iglehart's purchased 36 square miles from the Hazellief's. They used the ranch primarily as a hunting retreat for the family and their friends, and was a well known quail hunting area.

• An airstrip was built where the current entrance road lies, enabling the "rich and famous" to visit the ranch.
• Stewart Iglehart was recognized throughout the United States as an accomplished polo player.
• An old silo on the site was destroyed during Hurricane Jeanne. It will be restored into a small nature center, identifying the history of the property. The old cattle pens remain.
