Very private western log home in an upscale, gated community (Gros Ventre North) centrally located between Jackson and Teton Village. Walk up a stone lined walkway to the welcoming covered porch and into the warm glow of a two story log beamed living room, with a large river rock fireplace. The chairs around the fire pit beckon you to come outback and enjoy the infinity edge view of one of Jackson’s most beautiful ranching valleys. Wake up to beautiful sunrises with the distant sound of cows mooing several hundred feet below which is a great time to have coffee in the hot tub over looking the valley.
The nearest visible neighbor is a mile away but you're only 15 minutes from downtown, 20 minutes from the Jackson Hole ski area and 30 minutes from the airport.
There are three large master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms: a king on the main floor and a king and a queen upstairs. A very large fourth bedroom, above the garage, includes a queen bed and two singles, a TV lounging area and a home gym.
The kitchen is well stocked, has a Thermador gas range, two dishwashers, a walk in pantry and a large outdoor stainless barbecue close to the kitchen. A 50 bottle wine cooler is for your use solely . A large copper table seats eight in the log beamed dining room. There is also another eight person table on the covered porch for outdoor dining.
A three car garage connects to the house via an interior windowed mudroom with washer and dryer. The entire house and garage have in floor hydronic heat, which makes every corner of the home comfortable in the winter. In the summer, those coming from warm climates often worry about air conditioning but in Jackson it’s not needed. Cross ventilation takes care of the few really warm days we have and the nights always cool off which makes for great sleeping. There are chandelier fans in the great room and the two upstairs bedrooms if needed.
Relax and enjoy the solitude or head out for hiking, road or mountain biking, white water rafting, golfing or sight seeing in Grand Teton or Yellowstone National Park. The Jackson Hole area is 97% publicly owned so there’s plenty of country to explore; or you can go to the Wild Life Art Museum or explore the many interesting shops and galleries in Jackson’s downtown square . There’s lots of nightlife and live entertainment and many wonderful restaurants.
Winter activities include cross country skiing, snowshoeing or down hill skiing at either Jackson Hole Ski Resort or Snow King both 20 minutes away or Grand Targhee, 50 minutes away. For backcountry adventures, it's an easy 15 minute drive to Teton Pass while Grand Teton National Park is also only 40 minutes away. In winter, the house's driveway and walkways are cleared well and regularly (whenever it snows 4" or more), as are the roads along the butte.
