Discovery Land Company is an internationally acclaimed luxury real estate developer renowned for creating some of the world’s most exclusive private residential club communities. Founded in 1994 by visionary developer Michael Meldman, the company specialises in ultra-private, low-density destinations that blend luxury homes with championship golf, outdoor recreation, wellness, and hospitality-level service. With a portfolio spanning the United States, Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, and the Middle East — including landmark communities such as Yellowstone Club, CostaTerra, Troubadour, and Albany — Discovery Land Company is recognised globally for redefining private living through experience-driven design and lifestyle curation.
Private by nature. Extraordinary by design.
Discovery Land Company is guided by a belief that true luxury lies in privacy, community, and meaningful experiences, rather than scale or spectacle. The company is distinguished by its club-centric model, where homes are integrated into secure, members-only environments that prioritise discretion, connection, and access to world-class amenities. Every development is shaped by its natural surroundings, designed to foster a strong sense of belonging while offering exceptional service, recreation, and lifestyle programming. By focusing on long-term stewardship, thoughtful land use, and resident experience, Discovery Land Company creates places that feel deeply personal, timeless, and inherently exclusive.

In recent years, projects such as CostaTerra (Portugal) and Albany (The Bahamas) reflect the company’s evolution into fully integrated luxury lifestyle destinations with global appeal.
The 2020s saw Discovery Land Company enter global markets with high-profile developments in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Europe, further cementing its reputation among ultra-high-net-worth buyers.
In this decade, the company expanded its portfolio with elite communities in destinations such as California, Hawaii, and the American West, refining its club-centric development model.
The opening of Yellowstone Club in Montana — the world’s first private ski and golf community — established Discovery Land Company as a pioneer in exclusive lifestyle-led developments.
Discovery Land Company was founded by Michael Meldman, launching with a vision to create private residential communities centred around lifestyle, privacy, and world-class golf.
