Bordering Conservation Space In Heck Of A Hill

Bordered on two sides by conservation properties which in turn adjoin national forest, this quiet Wilson retreat at the top of the Heck-of-a-Hill is a nod to the valley’s roots. Built in 1974, the vintage, log main residence is the epitome of a Jackson Hole ’’cabin in the woods.’’ The three-bedroom, two-bath floor plan of more than 1,900 sq.ft. features a country kitchen and a sunroom that opens on a west-facing deck. A wood-burning fireplace removes the chill during the Wyoming winters. In warmer months, take coffee on the deck and enjoy views toward Teton Pass and Glory Bowl. An equally charming, detached log guest house of 675 sq.ft. feet was added to the flat three-acre parcel in 1992.

Near the house is an electric sauna in a separate cabin, and a wood-fired Spanish style bread oven, perfect for pizza.

The property is forested in mixed conifer and aspen with areas of open meadow. In good years, summer wildflowers can be lush. Elk, deer, moose, and great gray owls are common visitors.

The Heck-of-a-Hill neighborhood offers a private but convenient West Bank setting less than five minutes from downtown Wilson, Hungry Jack’s, and Nora’s Fish Creek Inn.

Escape into the nearby Bridger-Teton National Forest, or enjoy a short bike ride to Emily’s Pond on the bank of the Snake River. The slopes of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort are a short ten-minute drive from this peaceful end-of-the-road retreat.
