The Preserve at Walnut Springs was founded by modern day pioneers – a group of like-minded individuals that paved the way in land stewardship. Through conservation practices, the Preserve is protecting open space, outdoor recreational opportunities and a quality of life that’s becoming harder and harder to find. This approach towards land management is also economical, both in terms of shared management expense and in allowing our Texas Hill Country land and ranch owners to claim agricultural exemption and property tax exemption for widllife management.
A visionary in land development, Gerald T. Halpin had a passion for rugged landscapes, recognizing the beauty in the natural lay of the land. A ranch owner since 1969, Mr. Halpin approached development and land stewardship in equal measure. As a leader in conservation development, he was the founder and served as the Chairman Emeritus of the Grand Teton National Park Foundation.
Mr. Halpin is widely known for his development work in Northern Virginia and the Washington DC area over nearly 50 years. His contributions have been recognized by numerous universities, local and statewide governing bodies in Virginia, as well as by members of both parties in the Congressional Record of the US House and Senate.
In the late 1990s, Gerald T Halpin, a friend of the Lyndon B. Johnson family, and a native Texan partner, sought out property in the Hill Country with the purpose of replicating an innovative ranch-sharing concept, which he had recently successfully developed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Mr. Halpin and his partner bought and combined two ranches that today comprise The Preserve at Walnut Springs. Mr. Halpin’s goal of achieving long-lasting value for owners while honoring the natural integrity and inspiring character of the landscape, lives on today.
