Owned and operated by Peter · Improvements 2019–2023
Ownership meant improving the whole property.
Peter owned and operated Wild Iris Retreat from 2019 to 2023, carrying responsibility for a complex rural hospitality property and completing a multi-year program of improvements across the site.
The work improved how the property looked, operated and held up under real use, from buildings and utilities to the pool, landscape, drainage, access and guest facilities.

Construction with context.
01Buildings + guest facilities
Improve the property people actually use.
Peter completed a full main-house bathroom remodel and glass-shower installation, refreshed the kitchen, and delivered exterior, trim, plumbing, electrical and interior improvements where needed.
At the former children’s camp, Peter reroofed existing buildings, repaired floors, added to one building, and built bathrooms. The area served as a work area during his ownership. He completed mastication, cleanup, and campground site preparation across approximately five acres near the river. This work rehabilitated an existing camp; Peter did not build the resort’s original main infrastructure.
02Grounds + systems
The costs extend past the house.
Peter repaired fences, adjusted gates, redid deteriorating pool-deck surfaces, and upgraded plumbing, irrigation stations, sprinklers, and controllers. Road work included chip-seal surfacing and paving another section of the approach.
The program included a poured-concrete culvert, concrete gutters, site preparation and chip-seal surfacing.
