Description
We fell in love with the Teton Valley in 1996, purchased 5.5 acres in an aspen grove at the edge of Targhee National Forest and built a custom log cabin with friends and family. Take a short walk down the dirt road and you'll have breathtaking views of the Grand Teton Mountains. Our property is off the grid, powered by solar panels and an underground rain catchment system providing running water. Over the years, many friends have helped build and we now have a Swedish bathing sauna and guest cabin. We are in the process of converting an old grain silo into a music studio with a sleeping loft.

What else ...
We welcome diversity and inclusion. This is paradise for those who like to "wander to wonder." One can hike or bike from our backdoor or travel 20 miles to Grand Targhee Resort to enjoy amazing mountain bike trails, take the chairlift to hike and enjoy the amazing views of the Grand Tetons. We have mountain bikes on-site that are available for use. We have kayaks/canoes to float and/or fly fish the Teton River. The wildlife in our area is spectacular. We have Moose, Bears, Elk, Deer, Fox, Wolves, Mountain Lions, Porcupines, skunks and Marmot to name a few.
Our location also gives you easy access to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. We are 18-miles from Driggs, Idaho and a car is needed.
