Most Expensive Zip Codes: 83353, Estate of the Day


For the next couple of weeks we will be checking out some homes in the most expensive zip codes in the United States, up today, 83353 . This zip code includes Sun Valley, Idaho, a popular resort community for hiking, skiing and other nature activities. This zip code has a median price of $1,630,000 with an appreciation rate of 266% since 1990. The area is a popular spot for second homes, especially for those on the West Coast. The area gets its fair share of celebrity attention and casino mogul Steve Wynn, John Kerry, Demi Moore and self-help guru Tony Robbins have all spent time here. Ernest Hemingway was a part time resident in the area for many years.

Today's home has some of the rustic touches such as rough hewn logs that often mark the luxury homes in the area. This Sun Valley lodge has four bedrooms and the master bedroom/office is located on the main level. There is a separate guest/children's wing. This isn't the most expensive home in the area by a long shot but it earns points for combining Western style with contemporary design (although the lady-painted bathroom is a bit off-putting) It's a lot more character than some other homes I've seen in the area.. This home is listed at $4,875,000.

Ketchum Idaho, Estate of the Day


Today's estate takes us to Ketchum, Idaho, the much-prized Sun Valley, a place so monied that people are willing to snap-up condos just to have convenient parking spaces. This seven-bedroom home is located in the Bigwood Subdivision. Rich in luxury this home includes a media room, jacuzzi, pools and a wet bar. It's a definitely not a cozy home, aiming instead for high gloss but the fireplace in the gourmet kitchen is a nice touch. It is listed at $9,660,850. After the jump, a surfeit of marble and columns.

Lane Ranch Estate, Estate of the Day


My searches for estates of the day don't often take me to Idaho which is a shame because I miss out on homes like this one. This home in Sun Valley has beautiful views of the cliffs in Lane Ranch. The home is a little beige and generic but without being too much of a McMansion. Overall it looks tasteful and lived-in (albeit in the most genteel way possible). The home has five bedrooms, two offices and a bit over 11,000 square feet of space. The outdoor space includes an expansive fireplace and patio area facing the mountains. Gorgeous but at $7.7 million over priced? The price was recently reduced and since it only offers less than two acres of space we aren't talking worlds of privacy here.  Yes, I know Sun Valley is expensive but still I'd be surprised to see this one go for over $7 million. After the jump, it's nice, but is it $7.7 million nice?
