Situated on 20 acres, this pristine gentleman’s ranch is located in Teton Valley, Idaho and boasts views overlooking protected landscape and the famed Teton River. Although the property is conveniently positioned 10 minutes from the town of Driggs, the ranch is quietly tucked away near the base of the Teton Range and enjoys the solitude of rolling hills and mountainous peaks in the distance. A well-maintained county road leads to Highway 33, then on to the town of Driggs and Victor and next to the resort town of Jackson Hole.
As one enters the property, it is evident that this equestrian estate is proudly and meticulously maintained with expansive, professional landscaping of mature trees, bushes and shrubs. The acreage includes six enclosed pastures, three of which stretch to the west and are separated from the southern most pasture by a 20’ stallion break.
A short distance from the house resides a large, trout-stocked pond fed from a smaller upper pond and meandering stream that originates at the home’s charming entry way.
The Teton River is an excellent fishery located just beyond the conservation land that is adjacent to the property. Ranch owners can delight in fishing for rainbow, cutthroat and brook trout. Henry’s Fork and Warm River in Idaho, as well as the Madison River in Montana, are all easy drives from the ranch and provide even more angling opportunities.
The Main house is positioned just beyond the wooden bridge and stream that welcome you onto the property. The house is comprised of 4,580 square feet that include three bedrooms, three and a half baths, as well as an office, mud room, dining area, formal living room, large and open kitchen, walk-in pantry, entertainment room, bonus room and wine room. Lastly, the attached two-car garage has a fully insulated, unfinished space above to allow for expansion.
The front porch, added in 2008, provides a peaceful outdoor space for entertaining and enjoying the magnificent views of the Teton Range, River and Valley while overlooking the property’s streams and ponds. The back porch faces northwest towards the Big Hole Mountain Range and some of the West’s most amazing sunsets.
Game birds are fixtures on the ranch and flourish due to the coverage and protection of vegetation on the property. Several species have also been raised and released to increase the wild populations that originate in the area. Moose and elk are frequent visitors as well and can often be seen during the spring and fall months.
The large pond on the property is stocked with hundreds of large rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout which flourish year-round thanks to the depth of the pond and its four aerators. Numerous species of duck thrive on the property making the pond a safe place for them to nest and raise young each spring.
