Granite Ridge Compound

A Legacy-Scale Mountain Compound with Rare Multi-Structure Entitlements

Positioned above Alpine, Wyoming on a private 17.21-acre perch in the heart of Star Valley—an area celebrated for its sweeping landscapes, outdoor heritage, and enduring small-town values—440 Granite Ridge Drive offers a rare combination of privacy, access, and flexibility.

Surrounded by nature yet just 10 minutes from the town of Alpine and its nearby Airpark, and 45 minutes to Jackson Hole, this gated compound borders Caribou National Forest with direct trail access. Designed for those who value independence, recreation, and smart mountain living, it strikes a balance between seclusion and convenience.

A Flexible, Multi-Generational Layout

Over a decade in the making, the property includes three fully autonomous residences totaling 6,167 square feet, supported by nearly 5,000 square feet of heated garages, workshops, and storage—perfect for protecting gear and vehicles from Wyoming winters. Each dwelling has its own septic system, garage, and fiber internet connection, providing self-sufficiency and privacy—an ideal setup for multi-generational living, guest hosting, or income-producing rentals.

Main Residence

Built in 2017, this 2,144 square foot single-story ranch-style home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Features include electric radiant heat, a masonry outdoor fireplace, and a built-in outdoor kitchen—ideal for year-round entertaining. The 972 square foot garage adds ample utility. Inside, vaulted ceilings, radiant bathroom floors, Crestron and Sonos smart systems, and expansive windows framing Ferry Peak reflect a design ethos centered on comfort and function.

Garage Loft Residence

Built in 2013, this 1,625 square foot apartment includes 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, positioned above a 3,380 square foot heated barn with three oversized bays and a three-quarter bath. It’s a perfect setup for gearheads or those needing versatile, multi-use storage.

Guest or Caretaker Residence

Built in 2020, this 1,426 square foot one-bedroom, two-bath home is paired with a 492 square foot attached garage. A lofted entertainment space provides an inviting spot for movie nights, games, or casual gatherings. Located just outside the gated entry, it offers full autonomy for guests, extended family, or on-site staff.

Storage Barn

Built in 2015, the 1,584 square foot enclosed storage barn is ideal for equipment, tools, or seasonal storage needs. Located adjacent to the Guest or Caretaker Residence, it provides convenient overflow storage or workspace support.

Infrastructure That Sets It Apart

Purpose-built for year-round Wyoming living, the property features robust infrastructure. The main house is equipped with a whole-home backup generator and a 1,000-gallon propane tank. The Garage Loft Residence includes a generator supporting essential systems and a 300-gallon propane tank. A shared community well (not metered) and full fiber optic connectivity serve the entire compound. The property is fully fenced with multiple gates, features nearly a mile of private internal trails, landscaped firebreaks, and a dedicated fire suppression pond. This level of infrastructure and multi-dwelling configuration is no longer permitted under current zoning—making the estate legally grandfathered and exceptionally rare.

Living in Sync with the Land

The trail system meanders through aspen groves and open meadows, connecting structures and recreational zones while offering direct access to thousands of acres of National Forest. Moose, elk, and eagles are frequent visitors—moose often linger by the pond. Outdoor amenities include fire pits, an outdoor kitchen and pizza oven, designated dog areas, and sunset-facing decks. The layout emphasizes privacy, simplicity, and smart luxury—supporting effortless transitions between entertaining, retreat, and outdoor adventure.

Salt River Access

Less than half a mile down the hill from the property lies an access point on the Salt River—a classic meadow-style fishery known for its healthy native trout. This close proximity offers convenient access to some of the region’s finest angling. Public access points—including Burton’s Lower and the Salt River/A G Lane PAAs—offer parking, primitive boat launches, and float access just minutes away. Anglers can explore 6–10 mile stretches between Afton, Etna, Freedom, and Alpine Junction, tailoring each outing to daily conditions. In fall, the river offers superb ‘cast and blast’ opportunities—pairing fly fishing with upland bird or waterfowl hunting for the well-rounded sportsman.

A Western Compound for Modern Life

This is not a typical home—it’s a legacy basecamp for those who need space, autonomy, and access, made even more valuable by its grandfathered infrastructure and multi-dwelling entitlements no longer allowed under current zoning. It’s move-in ready and ideally configured for multi-generational living, guest use, or simply enjoying an intentional lifestyle rooted in the land.
This is 440 Granite Ridge Drive—a one-of-a-kind Western compound offering rare privacy, recreational access, and flexible living in a setting that honors both tradition and independence. With no equivalent offering in the Star Valley corridor, it stands alone in its class.
