Web Site Touting Possible Elvis Ranch Logs Off

November 07, 2002 | Other
The Web site touting a proposed Elvis theme park in DeSoto County has been temporarily taken off the Internet, according to the park's developer.

Circle G Ranch Resort LLC spokeswoman Vicki Burrow said the Web site is being revamped to make it more user friendly. Burrow did not say when the site will be back in operation. The site, www.circlegresort.com, advertised memberships in the development of the Circle G Ranch Resort, which is to be built on the site where Elvis and Priscilla Presley spent their honeymoon in 1967.

The $600 million development is expected to cover 882 acres in Horn Lake. However, developers still haven't closed on much of the land. Gerald McLemore, a spokesman for the McLemore family that owns the original 155-acre Circle G Ranch property, said the land hasn't been sold. "They (the developers) are continuing on our option arrangement," he said.

The developers have also failed to complete the purchase of a 317-acre tract owned by the Hugh Dancy Co., immediately east of the Circle G Ranch property.
