Scott’s 22 West
50 Acres of Space, Serenity, and Access
Some properties offer a view. This one offers a world.
Fifty acres just outside Wilson, Wyoming, bordered on three sides by more than 160 acres of permanent conservation land, with sweeping sightlines to the Grand Teton, the Sleeping Indian, and the Snake River Range in every direction. The pastoral character here is not incidental. It is protected.
What makes this parcel genuinely rare is the combination it holds: estate-scale acreage in the heart of the valley, within walking distance of Wilson’s coffee houses, restaurants, and school, connected by bike path to Teton Village and Grand Teton National Park, and completely insulated from the density that has consumed comparable land throughout the county. That land is gone. This remains.
For a family with a vision and a long horizon, the development flexibility here is unmatched anywhere in Teton County at this scale.
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, whether or not land is placed 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 (each not to exceed 5,000 square feet) 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
Scott’s 22 West is defined by its natural beauty, functionality, and agricultural legacy. The gently sloping terrain delivers sweeping mountain vistas in all directions—from the Sleeping Indian and Grand Teton to Munger Mountain and the Snake River Range—offering exceptional building sites for a main residence and supporting structures.
The land is fully fenced and flood irrigated with surface water rights from the historic Prosperity and Pioneer Ditches. A single historic structure remains, and the landscape is shaped in part by a former Snake River channel likely formed during the 1927 Gros Ventre Slide.
Minimal wetland impact—just 3% of the property—means greater flexibility in site planning. Combined with fertile soils and open pastures, the parcel is well-suited for equestrian, recreational, or working land uses.
Connection to Community
The property offers quick access to coffee houses, restaurants, a general store, post office, and school in Wilson’s community hub. 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
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.
