Will Bilehartz on Regenerative Real Estate, Conservation Development & 100-Year Impact

In this episode of The Victory Show, Travis Cody sits down with Will Bilehartz, a real estate developer, designer, and executive working at the intersection of regenerative business, story-driven design, and triple-bottom-line investing. Will shares how his foundation in regenerative land management began at age nine on a ranch outside Austin—raising bison, growing food, and building off-grid systems long before sustainability became mainstream. That early lens evolved into building the first zipline canopy tour in the continental U.S., designing large-scale nature experiences, and eventually launching luxury treehouse projects that helped shape the eco-hospitality and short-term rental boom. From there, Will breaks down what “site-appropriate” development really means, why “doing less bad” isn’t a winning strategy, and how regenerative principles can create profitable projects that also strengthen communities and ecosystems. He also introduces his investment firm Anura Capital, his push into non-toxic, fire-resistant prefab housing launching in 2026, and a stunning Montana project inspired by a 1905 Frank Lloyd Wright-designed community concept.
