What you will love about this home

Nestled in a light-filled aspen grove at the edge of a quiet meadow on 25 acres of rolling private land in the foothills of the Teton Range is where you will find our homestead, our main home, and nearby guest cottage (also occasionally available for exchange). 40 minutes from Grand Targhee Ski Resort, ~90 minutes to Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks. We are also within a day's drive of the famous Utah national park corridor of Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon, and a day from Glacier National Park in Montana and Badlands National Park in South Dakota.

The main home is a handcrafted timber frame that perfectly blends the warmth and texture of natural materials like wood, brick, and lime plaster with clean Nordic-inspired design and vintage touches throughout. Down the hill from the main home is Mökki House – our cozy handcrafted timber frame guest house in the style of a traditional Finnish cabin. This is often rented out but we would also consider a home exchange of the cottage. See here: https://www.homeexchange.com/homes/view/1940646

Make this the base camp for your Teton Valley or Yellowstone/Grand Teton National Park adventures or retreat into quiet mountain solitude. Do some morning yoga on the deck, take a soak in our hot tub in the woods, stargaze at a night sky with zero light pollution, watch grazing deer with your morning tea, read a book to the song of a cheerful chickadee, or fish world-class fly fishing rivers like the Henry's Fork within an hour of your door step.

The nearby (20-minutes) town of Driggs has several excellent restaurants, a huge and well-stocked grocery store, and all the amenities one would need to enjoy the full range of outdoor activities that you can do here. This is the American West at its very best.

The home has a full array of conveniences: A 3-car garage, a full and spacious kitchen, washer, dryer, high speed Starlink Internet, a claw-footed tub with a view, and luxurious Moroccan plaster showers. There is also a cozy cinema room with 7.1 surround sound, and a gym/yoga room equipped with free weights and a power rack. It is well-equipped for children with a beautiful loft/playroom and a ceiling-mounted swing as well as a rope swing outside. The loft/playroom could be set up as an additional bedroom if desired.

If you like snow and a winter wonderland experience, this home is a perfect place to experience a true winter wonderland. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing opportunities abound across our property or in the nearby national forest. Grand Targhee ski resort has some of the best snow conditions and skiing in the country and is not yet as "discovered" as many other resorts in the country (although the secret is starting to get out). The home is primarily heated by a beautiful wood stove, with supplementary radiators and cove heaters in the smaller rooms. Note, snowfall can be substantial and this is not suitable for people uncomfortable with driving in snowy conditions. Snow removal of the driveway will need to be discussed with the home exchange guest or a snow removal service can be arranged.

In summer season, we have a large garden that might need checking on periodically, primarily to pick produce, which you can eat during your stay. It is on an automated watering system.

This is a truly unique home and property.

What you will love about this neighborhood

A large, rolling property in the wooded foothills of the Teton range. The neighborhood is mostly full-time residence who enjoy the outdoors, the wildlife, the easy access to National Forest land and the peace and quiet that rural mountain living affords. We are 15-20 minutes from the nearest services (gas station and restaurant in Tetonia) and a number of restaurants, tourism services, and a very large grocery store in Driggs.

This is a highly desirable place for vacationers looking to enjoy the endless outdoor activities this part of the world has to offer. The most popular home and cabin rentals are often booked up well in advance. Our home and property are an excellent base camp or jumping off point for adventures in all directions.

- Buzzy restaurants: Forage Lounge and Bistro is the highest rated restaurant in town.
- Cool bars: Tetonia Club in Tetonia is where the locals like to hang. You can also find them at The Royal Wolf in Driggs.
- Cozy cafés: Rise Café in Driggs is excellent. Badger Creek Café in Tetonia is an excellent place for Breakfast and Dinner.
- Retail therapy: No big box stores in the Valley. Boutique local shops line main street though.
- Bit of culture: Music on Main in nearby Victor, ID is a very popular music and beer garden event each week during the summer.
- Walks in the park: A number of freely maintained cross country skiing, and biking trails exist all over the Valley.
- Spot of exercise: Find a trail, rent a bike, kayak, or paddle board. Ourdoor recreation is what we live for here. If you prefer a traditional gym, there is a Fitness Gym in downtown Driggs.
- Day tripping: Yellowstone and Grand Teton make perfect day trips.... and that is just the beginning of your options.
