Scott’s 22 West
50 Acres of Space, Serenity, and Access
Set just outside the hamlet of Wilson, this rare 50-acre parcel offers a unique opportunity to enjoy wide-open space, commanding views, and seamless access to the best of Jackson Hole. Whether you envision a private estate or a family compound, the property provides a generous buffer from surrounding development while remaining less than a mile from Wilson’s beloved shops, restaurants, and trailheads.
The setting is extraordinary: 360-degree mountain views encompass the Grand Teton, Sleeping Indian, Munger Mountain, and the Snake River Range—each visible from the flat to gently rolling terrain. Framed by native pastures and working ditches, the property sits adjacent to a protected 48-acre conservation parcel, preserving the pastoral character and ensuring long-term privacy.
With valley-wide bike path connectivity, minimal wetland constraints, and a range of development options, this is one of the last chances to secure estate-scale acreage so close to the cultural and recreational heart of the valley.
Family Compound Potential
This rare 50-acre property presents a compelling opportunity to establish a true family compound or multi-generational legacy estate—a rarity in the Jackson Hole valley, and one of the last large, buildable parcels within such close reach of Wilson, WY. Scott’s 22 West offers three distinct pathways for ownership and enjoyment:
- Private Estate – Build a single-family home with up to 14,001 square feet of floor area, including barns, workshops, and a guest house. This option allows for maximum privacy and simplicity without placing land into conservation.
- Family Compound (FAO) – Utilize the Floor Area Option by placing the majority of the property into a conservation easement, unlocking the ability to build a main house plus three ARUs on a 5-acre development envelope. This is an ideal configuration for a family retreat with multiple dwellings, all under single ownership, without formal subdivision.
- Legacy Development (PRD) – Through a Planned Residential Development, subdivide and construct up to four separate homes at 10,000 square feet each on the approximate one-acre building envelope, with a conservation easement on the remaining acreage. This approach supports individual ownership and long-term estate planning across generations.
Each scenario preserves the broader pastoral setting and open space character while enabling flexible, multi-home design solutions. Whether your vision is for a central gathering lodge and guest cabins, or a generational layout with separate residences, this property supports it—with ample land area, protected views, and unmatched proximity to Wilson.
The Lot and Its Features
The larger acreage so close to Wilson provides both a buffer from neighboring development and the rare ability to create a true estate-scale property within walking distance of the hamlet.
Scott’s 22 West is a working landscape with both beauty and utility. The terrain is flat to gently sloping, offering unobstructed views of the Sleeping Indian and Teton Range, as well as long southern exposures toward Munger Mountain and the Snake River Range. These expansive sightlines provide an immersive sense of place and offer multiple ideal vantage points for siting a main residence. A south-facing building envelope further enhances privacy, passive solar opportunities, and year-round light.
The soils are deep and well-draining, supporting healthy native vegetation and productive pastures. The land is fully fenced, with active flood irrigation in place and surface water rights from both the Prosperity and Pioneer Ditches—two historic systems that define the visual and agricultural character of the parcel. The Prosperity Ditch flows through an old Snake River channel likely formed during the 1927 Gros Ventre Slide, adding a layer of natural history to the landscape.
An Aquatic Resource Inventory (ARI) completed by Y2 Consultants confirmed only 1.539 acres of definitional wetlands on the property—less than 3% of the total area. Most wetlands are irrigation-induced and therefore not regulated by Teton County, meaning minimal development restrictions. The low wetland impact, coupled with open pastures and ample building area, supports creative site planning for a large residence, guest homes, and equestrian or ag infrastructure.
Proximity to Wilson, WY
Located less than a mile from the hamlet of Wilson, the property offers a rare connection to one of Jackson Hole’s most cherished communities. Wilson is beloved not for grandeur, but for its authentic character and grounded lifestyle—a place where neighbors still know one another, where dogs rest outside the general store, and where the pace of life slows just enough to enjoy it. With its mix of independent shops, coffee houses, restaurants, and a local school, Wilson offers the essentials without pretense.
The nearby Teton Pass, Snake River, and miles of public lands support an active, outdoor-driven rhythm year-round—from backcountry skiing and fly fishing to biking and hiking straight from town. Connected by the valley’s bike path, residents enjoy car-free access to community and nature alike. All of this lies just 15 minutes from Jackson, yet Wilson remains distinctly its own—a place people seek out for its privacy, beauty, and enduring sense of belonging.
Valley-Wide Connectivity
Positioned directly along the Jackson Hole Community Pathway System, the property offers direct, car-free access to Teton Village, downtown Jackson, Grand Teton National Park, and trailheads throughout the valley. With more than 56 miles of paved multi-use paths, the system supports biking, walking, running, and even Nordic skiing in winter. This built-in infrastructure enhances lifestyle and usability, especially for multigenerational families who want independence without isolation. The pathway also increases access to Wilson Elementary and area recreation without compromising privacy or safety.
A Rare Offering Near Wilson
Whether you envision a pastoral retreat, a gathering place for generations, or a thoughtfully developed family enclave, this property supports it all—anchored by natural beauty, unmatched views, and proximity to one of the valley’s most beloved communities.
