Today's estate in Teton Valley, Idaho has a deadline, September 12. That is when Concierge Auctions will be holding a luxury real estate auction of the Rockin S Ranch, a 57-acre property. The sale is being conducted in cooperation with the Lewis, Lewis & Kleiman team at Sotheby's International Realty in Jackson Hole and there is no reserve or minimum bid but a $100,000 deposit is required.

The ranch is located along a scenic half-mile stretch of the Teton River and has a total of nine structures, including the main residence, guest house, horse barn, angler's house and caretaker's house. The 6,400-square-foot main house is constructed of hand-peeled natural logs, native river rock, and massive timbers reclaimed from trestles built by the Southern Pacific Railroad. The great room has a floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace, dining area and adjoining game room with beamed ceilings and a built-in stereo sound system, an open kitchen with high-end appliances and custom wood cabinets. A private master suite is connected to the main house by a covered walkway and has a kitchenette, sitting area, private deck and a bathroom that includes a rock-walled shower.

Outside a covered veranda offers a place to enjoy views of the Teton and Big Hole Mountain ranges. The log-constructed barn contains seven individual horse stalls, a veterinary and breeding area, office and large tack room. There is also a second-story, two-bedroom apartment with a kitchen, dining and living area and a balcony with a separate entrance. The angler's house offers fast access to the Teton River. There are several spring-fed stocked trout ponds on the ranch, including one with a gazebo and deck located just steps from the main house. A fully lit and fenced sports court is ideal for tennis, volleyball, basketball and shuffle board. The ranch was previously listed at $8.9 million.
