Entered for comp purposes. 'The Mitchell Ranch' An origin story dating back to 1861 when early coastal pioneer Michael Donohue was said to be searching for a place where he could have 'The hills at his back and the sea at his feet'. Owned by the same family dynasty for over 160 years, the original ranch encompassed what is now the town of Elk (formerly Greenwood). For over 160 years, the ranch has stood as a monument to the great legacy of the founders of the community of Elk. But now as the last rays of golden sun cast across the banks of Greenwood, the tides of everlasting change bring forth the opportunity for a new legacy to be forged in time.
