Untitled Document Setting Jentel Artist Residency Program lies in the Lower Piney Creek Valley with spectacular views over scoria topped hills to the majestic Big Horn Mountains. The fertile valley grows abundant hay for cattle. Few houses or signs of human existence dot the two mile stretch of Piney Creek that flows through the property. Catch and release fishing is monitored closely to preserve the abundance of trout for future generations to enjoy.
Many reservoirs provide oases for cattle, wildlife, and humans.
The original house was made of local stone at the end of the Spanish American War. Some locals refer to the property as the Hamilton Post Office. The surrounds of the main house are thoughtfully landscaped with large shade trees and an abundance of uproarious flowers. Sculptures of wood, marble, steel, and ceramics enhance the landscape. The Jentel Foundation strives to protect and sustain the pristine natural environment of the Piney Creek Valley by protecting and responsibly managing the unique plants and wildlife, by preserving the land from development, by protecting and preserving the Indian artifacts, by protecting and preserving any geological phenomena and through responsible land management practices.
