Share News:

Our Steal: The Astoria Lodge in Jackson, WY is currently listed by Jeff Heilbrun with Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates for $1.695 million.

When the unofficial town motto is “Stay Wild” you know you’re in for adventure. Hidden in a picturesque valley, beneath the shadow of the Grand Tetons and gushing geysers of Yellowstone National Park, sits Jackson Hole – a gateway destination for second home buyers looking to get off the grid. And if it’s a brush with nature you’re after, there’s no better place to be.

Known as the “last of the Old West,” Jackson Hole offers miles of untamed wildlife, pristine lakes, awe-inspiring views, and exquisite mountain retreats to hole up in, with natural beauty right outside your door. Today, we put Jackson Hole to the test in our latest Splurge vs. Steal. What we find is nothing short of well, wild. See for yourself!

Steal: “To-Be-Built” Masterpiece Ranch At Snake River Sporting Club For $1.65M

For a fraction of our steal, you can live the ultimate ranch life at Snake River Sporting Club in a brand new luxury build! This designer dream home is known as The Astoria Lodge, and is yet to be built, but offers a unique new home opportunity constructed by highly acclaimed New West Building Company.

The Snake River Sporting Club does all the work for you and perfectly captures the lifestyle of Jackson Hole. Living here means enjoying Jackson Hole amenities in the confines of a masterfully designed community that blends recreation, luxury, and wildness, for an unprecedented level of resort style living.

The best part? The Snake River Sporting Club allows you to “golf a round, fly fish on a golden afternoon, canter your horse through the pasture, or set off on your skis.” We can almost smell the fresh pine air, hear the rush of the river, feel the crunch of snow beneath our feet.

The community is directly bordered by 3.5 million acres of Bridger-Teton National Forest with direct access to the Snake River, the Tom Weiskopf Championship Golf Course, and the SRSC trail system, so you don’t have to go far to fulfill all of your vacation needs.

The ranch home itself comes chock full of upgrades, including a flexible three-bedroom, three-full-and-one-half-bathroom floorplan and 2,447 square feet of main level living.

The description touts the “heaven-scraping windows beneath modern, clean-lined roofs” as well as the “warm interiors” and “reclaimed barn wood that harkens to the West’s defiant individuality.”

We love that it affords golf, mountain, canyon, and valley views – basically the best of everything. Could you see yourself in this rustic modern gem?
