Luxury Ranch Resort Muscles Into North Denton With Hotel, High-Dollar Homes

North Denton is on track to get a splashy new neighbor: Wildhaven, a proposed 740-acre luxury resort that would mix a private club, equestrian arenas, restaurants, and a roughly 100-room hotel with 152 high-end homes starting around $1.5 million. For a city already in growth mode, the scale and price tag put this among the most ambitious projects floated inside Denton in years.

Florida-based An Ki Land Development LLC is pushing the project under the Wildhaven name and says the first phase could start within the next year, according to the Dallas Business Journal.

State corporate records list An Ki Land Development LLC as registered in Sarasota, Florida, with managers Logan Breen and Lawrence Hersom named on the filing, according to the Florida Division of Corporations. The company lists a Sarasota mailing address and filed its most recent annual report in April 2025.

Wildhaven is arriving in the middle of Denton’s transformation into a hotbed for large master-planned communities. Hillwood’s $10 billion Landmark community and the newly under-construction Cole Ranch project are already reshaping the city’s growth map.

Plans call for a boutique hotel of about 100 keys, a private members’ club, curated restaurant options and multiple equestrian rings, along with trails and open space woven through the site. The master plan’s residential side, with 152 homes and several marketed at more than $3 million, would put Wildhaven in a premium tier for the Denton area, not exactly starter-home territory…
