Sold: Cody Creek Sanctuary

Property Details

Five miles from Jackson’s iconic downtown and a good cup of coffee, this property’s driveway drops into a 65-acre sanctuary, where a first-class spring creek weaves through six ponds and incomparably beautiful open land. From the back deck, the sounds of nature replace the hum of a vibrant mountain community. Circled by uninterrupted alpine views and conservation land, Cody Creek Ranch is home to an elk herd, bald eagles, blue herons and trumpeter swans, as well as magnificent waterways brimming with native cutthroat trout. For years, romantics chose ranches in the middle of nowhere for adventure and the therapeutic benefits of living outside. This ranch, suited for the modern pioneer who wants it all, is like a mini national park—in the middle of everywhere.

The main house, a 4,670-sq ft log home built from hand-peeled logs, sits nestled among spruce and aspen trees with views of the entire property. Three bedrooms connect off of a classic great room featuring a spacious kitchen and dining area focused around a romantic wood-burning stone fireplace. A game room with a pool table, large-screen T.V. and library also inspires cozy nights around a wood-burning stove and can accommodate small or large gatherings. The expansive back deck facing west provides a stage from which to experience the outdoors and view wildlife throughout the seasons. This Western home also includes a 999-sq ft log guesthouse with two beds and two baths. Approximately 5,500 sq ft of additional building opportunity is allowed in the building envelope for a barn and riding facility.
