La Casa Del Río

Situated on arguably the best parcel in Crescent H Ranch with expansive Teton views and prime Snake River frontage, this newly constructed project, completed in 2023 and designed by renowned architect Wallace Cunningham, is a living sculpture. Its connection to its surroundings is profound, with the natural beauty of Fish Creek, Grand Teton views, and wildlife like elk, moose, and eagles enhancing its setting. The architecture seamlessly integrates with the landscape, nestled into a stream curve, with a parallel pool reflecting both the mountains and the house. The sweeping sculptural roof and lofty interiors blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, creating inviting spaces for private enjoyment or entertaining.

The private primary suite features large closets, a stone tub, and a walk-in stone shower with Teton views, followed by a stunning bedroom area. Five private en-suite guest rooms occupy the southern end, adjacent to the main living area, professional-grade kitchen, and glass-enclosed formal dining area at the home’s center. The lower level includes an additional office, a wine storage room, and an attached three-car garage, completing the property. A glass corridor connects the two roofs, offering views of the sky, landscape, and art, creating stunning shadows. This corridor serves as a focal point, bringing the house’s design ideas into clear focus.

The owners were among the first to purchase property in the ranch, acquiring what is arguably the best land parcel within Crescent H. This property offers end-of-road privacy, spring creeks, Snake River frontage, and expansive views of the Teton Mountain Range. Through thoughtful planning and stewardship, they worked with Teton County and the Jackson Hole Land Trust to place a conservation easement on the property, which allows for additional development rights, including a second dwelling.

Crescent H Ranch boasts miles of trails for horseback riding, cross-country skiing and hiking, as well as miles of private spring creeks, ponds and Snake River frontage for first-rate fishing.

At Crescent H, homeowners owning smaller lots (a half acre to two acres) and those owning larger lots (35 to 50 acres) will all feel like they’re living on 200 to 500 acres. The fishing access to an abundance of high-quality spring creek water sets Crescent H apart from other Jackson Hole neighborhoods. In fact, at one point in its history, Crescent H was one of the finest fishing camps in the country. As one expert said, ”There’s a lot to be said for having spring creek fishing during a high run-off year. There are a lot of times you can’t fish the Snake River when you can fish the creeks.” Fishing at Crescent H is for residents and their guests only.

Homeowners also have access to Bridger-Teton National Forest. Crescent H’s forested hills and tree-studded meadows create both a sense of privacy and a feeling of being in harmony with nature. Wildlife is abundant, but Crescent H is also a short drive from manmade attractions. The shops, restaurants and art galleries of downtown Jackson are close, as is the world-class skiing of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. A historic Western lodge on-site at Crescent H serves as a reminder of the property’s heritage.
