Tucked away in the wild heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, High Hoback Ranch offers a rare convergence of privacy, permanence, and purposeful design—set on 75.18 acres with over half a mile of frontage on the federally protected Wild & Scenic Hoback River.
This is one of the most coveted stretches of river in Teton County—an angler’s dream with deep pools and braided riffles, perfect for family rafting, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the meditative backdrop of live water you can hear from the porch. Elk and moose are frequent visitors, part of a larger migratory corridor that runs through the property and into the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Located within Teton County’s Natural Resource Overlay and adjacent to conserved lands, the ranch plays a critical role in protecting regional wildlife habitat. From here, step into boundless public lands via trails leading into Willow Creek, Horse Creek, Camp Creek, and Poison Creek—a vast recreational corridor ideal for hiking, riding, hunting, and exploration right out your back door.
At its core, the ranch is anchored by a timeless 5,300-square-foot log lodge, designed by Danny Eagan, a noted Western architect celebrated for blending scale with intimacy. Reminiscent of a classic Yellowstone lodge, the home is steeped in traditional materials—vaulted trusses, native stone, and hand-peeled logs—offering a warm, authentic, and enduring base for mountain living. It’s a place that evokes the spirit of the West while remaining supremely livable and welcoming.
Complementing this is the newly constructed 3,598-square-foot guest house by Northworks, a nationally recognized firm known for its modern-yet-rooted designs. Purpose-built for multigenerational gatherings, the guest residence balances refined lodge sensibilities with contemporary function, including symmetrical wings, bunkrooms, reclaimed finishes, and elevated architectural lines.
A third structure—a 972-square-foot historic guest cabin—provides additional flexibility for visitors or a resident caretaker, maintaining the rustic charm of the ranch’s early story.
Supporting the recreational lifestyle, a 3,500-square-foot heated barn with integrated workshop allows for seamless gear storage and staging—ideal for snowmobiles, drift boats, tack, ATVs, or hobby work. It’s a critical and rare amenity for active ownership in this type of terrain.
Importantly, the property is flanked by conservation easements and enveloped by Bridger-Teton National Forest, ensuring long-term protection of the viewshed and wildlife corridors. The ranch itself is protected under two conservation easements held by the Jackson Hole Land Trust, preserving its scale, agricultural potential, and ecological integrity while allowing full residential and recreational use within designated building envelopes.
Whether envisioned as a private compound, conservation legacy, or generational retreat, High Hoback Ranch offers the perfect blend of architecture, access, and assurance—where the beauty of the West isn’t just experienced, but safeguarded for generations to come.
