Established as a private nature-photography destination in 2003, the refuge is known for its biodiversity, professionally designed photography blinds, intimate wildlife encounters, and long-standing commitment to habitat preservation. The property was created as a working example of how private landowners can protect native habitat while generating conservation-based income through wildlife photography.
