Teton Jewel: A 2,558-acre ranch in Teton County, Idaho | Jackson Hole Sotheby's International Realty

The Teton Jewel is a 2,550-acre ranch located in Teton County, Idaho. Its secluded location in a scenic high alpine valley provides tranquility along with boundless recreational opportunities. It is a sanctuary with live water surrounded by national forest with extraordinary elevated views of the Teton Range. It is accessed over county-maintained roads close to a local airport and 20 miles from Grand Targhee Ski Area. The Teton Jewel is located on the border of the 3-million-acre Caribou-Targhee National Forest. The ranch spans nearly five miles and is located at the transition zone of the valley floor and the foothills of the Big Hole Mountains. The property is an ideal mix of level fields, rolling hills, and high meadows with elevated views of the Teton Range. The property is also transversed by Horseshoe Creek with over one mile of frontage, an ideal habitat for a variety of wildlife. Teton Jewel is one of the larger landholdings in the Teton Valley. While only used as an agricultural property in an ancillary fashion at the present time, the ranch has senior rights to provide adequate water for stock or wildlife. In addition, there are tremendous development opportunities in its dual zoning. Allocated between the rural agricultural 35-acre density and foothills 10-acre density zones, this zoning provides exceptional flexibility for both the property's immediate use and value as a generational asset. The property is improved with an owner's retreat. The home was constructed in 2019 into the exact location of the original homestead from 1915. It has an outdoor stone fireplace with wood-fired pizza oven. There is a single family home located on a self-contained 4.66-acre lot approximately 0.35 miles east of the main body of the ranch. The home was constructed in 2022 and has three bedrooms and two and a half baths and a three-car attached garage. Next to it, there is a 40-by-40-foot shop with an RV-sized garage door. In addition, there's a horse barn rebuilt in 2020 with six horse stalls and seven storage areas and an open-air hay shed. As the name aptly captures, the Teton Jewel is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Since its formation, the ranch has only seen light use and virtually no development, leaving it a rare haven of the Old West.
