Property Description
Tucked away in the serene Shootin’ Iron Ranches neighborhood, you’ll find this fairy tale haven. Western Star combines pastoral landscapes and modern luxury on 8 acres: a dreamlike setting with creek and private pond, flowering meadows, fenced pasture and towering aspens set against a backdrop of Teton views. Handcrafted custom log home designed and built with beauty and comfort in mind offers plenty of space (3110 sq ft) for relaxation. A massive (1218 sq ft) Alaskan cedar deck offers even more room for outdoor living, wrapping around the home and linking almost every room. Located within 10 minutes of town, yet secluded amidst untamed forests and high alpine ridgelines, enjoy a unique blend of convenience and privacy near world-class skiing, hiking, fly fishing, and river rafting.
A symphony for the senses
The lush, romantic setting invites you to spend time outdoors with eight acres of beautifully composed landscaping. Stream-fed pond, meadows, and towering aspens offer 360° natural vistas set against the regal backdrop of Teton views. Here you’ll awaken to birds singing and elk bugling and experience picture-postcard sunsets.
Unique, handcrafted architecture
The custom-designed and built log home was handcrafted by Logcrafters of Pinedale, Wyoming, and has been celebrated in multiple books and magazines, including The Log Home Book and Homestead Magazine. Optimized for energy efficiency, the home features a spectacular solarium plus a massive Alaskan cedar wraparound deck offering indoor/outdoor living and entertaining space. Design details include Mexican terracotta tile, plaster walls, hand-blown glass, iron pendant lights, and custom stonework, surrounding you with natural elements.
Delightfully suited to animal lovers
Currently an equestrian property where ponies and elk sleep next to each other in the four-acre buck-n-rail-fenced pasture, this is an ideal setting for animal lovers. There’s a run-in horse barn with enclosed paddock, plus tack and hay storage, as well as a bully barn and full-sized dog kennel. Heated triple-bay garage offers room for trucks, trailers, and equipment while the circular driveway makes turnaround easy.
Plenty of room to grow
If you’re looking to create a compound, there’s plenty of land for a guest house plus a second driveway, currently used to access the barn, dog kennel and storage shed, which could be repurposed as another private entrance. County regulations allow for 5,000 square feet of additional living space on the property. Add it to the current home’s footprint or add a guesthouse, staff housing, or a secondary living space.
Remoteness and convenience combined
Shootin’ Iron is a relaxed neighborhood of western riders, polo enthusiasts, and locals who value its privacy. Located just 10 minutes to town and local schools, plus a 70-mile pathway system for bike riding, it’s also a haven for migrating elk, moose and deer plus trumpeter swans, cranes and wild songbirds attracted by its nearby wetlands. Within 30 minutes you’ll be in Jackson, home to world-class skiing, hiking, fly fishing, and river rafting.
