Now owned by Marley Hodgson, the retired founder and designer of the Ghurka leather-goods company, and his wife, Linda,Smith Fork Ranch has most recently been operated as one of the country's most lovingly restored family ranches. The SmithFork Ranch is an opportunity to own a beautifully secluded and intimate haven with exquisite improvements, private fishing,and infinite recreation.
