Grouse Creek Ranch is located on Highway 34, an historic byway, in Star Valley on the Wyoming/Idaho border.
The property is nestled in a canyon known as Tin Cup Pass and garnered its name from the creek bordering the
subject property to the north. The ranch is perfectly situated for recreational enthusiasts, as it abuts Caribou
National Forest on two sides. Immediately available to our property owners is direct access to snowmobiling,
hunting, on-site fishing, horseback riding, hiking, cross country skiing and much more.
The two major ski areas, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Grand Targhee are an hour drive away. Palisades
Reservoir affords great boating and fishing fifteen minutes away. The Salt River, one of the area's finest cutthroat
trout fisheries is just three miles away. West Yellowstone gate is also easily accessed in less than two hours.
The city of Afton has a wonderful FBO with over 7,000 feet of newly constructed runway, allowing almost any size
jet a safe landing with tower support. Hangars are also available. Commercial service is served by Delta, American
and United directly to Jackson Hole or alternately, one can fly any number of airlines to Idaho Falls. Jackson airport
is just a bit over an hour away.
The growth of Star Valley, a bedroom community to Jackson, has been nothing short of explosive. Jackson's lack
of any type of affordable real estate has pushed the service industry to this area. The local newspaper, the Jackson
Hole Daily, reported last year's appreciation rate for real estate at over 36%, outperforming even Jackson! Less than
3% of all real estate in Jackson is held privately; the remainder is state or federally owned. This serves as another
reason why would-be real estate buyers are forced to look outside of Jackson.
Grouse Creek Ranch is the only entitled real estate project in the Tin Cup Pass area. The county commission for
Caribou County applauded this project as a great example of land stewardship and responsible development practices.
The entire parcel is approximately 500 acres divided into 46 lots. Lots are accessed by improved county-standard
gravel roads, have underground power and phone and each lot owner drills their own well/septic. The property itself
has varied terrain, with all lots having great views. Grouse Creek runs roughly north to south through the property
and Tin Cup Creek traverses east to west on the north side of the property. Additionally, four new trout ponds are
under construction. The fishing enthusiast will only need but walk out their door to reach some great "holes."
Property of this quality is difficult to find anywhere. But property like this with our amenities, and with starting prices
in the high $18,000 per acre near Jackson Hole is a first and only. As the rest of the country is faltering, we are
experiencing record sales and in-migration from around the nation. People are discovering the niceties of a simpler life;
yet not sacrificing conveniences.
GROUSE CREEK RANCH IS THE LAST OF THE BEST OF THE WEST!
