Jackson Modern, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


This might be my favorite Jackson, Wyoming home yet. It's a great modern riff on the log cabin. Glass and wood dominate the contemporary home which sits on five acres atop gated North Gros Ventre Butte. The home's large glass windows offer gorgeous mountain views. The beige-on-beige color scheme isn't the most thrilling I have seen but the spare design means that you can bring your modern furniture to your Wyoming home and it won't look horribly out of place.

Ellen Creek, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


I keep checking out estates in Teton Village, Wyoming because they keep building new beautiful resort homes. This one might be the best one I have seen in the region so far. Not only does it sit on 2.45 acres and offer easy access to the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort but this one embraces Western architecture without going cowboy crazy. This five-bedroom home is lavish in the way that homes in the area often are but the use of reclaimed siding and timbers and a restrained sense of elegance make this home seem more inhabitable than some I've seen. All the resort amenities are here including a formal dining room, fitness area, home theater, library and a steam room yet despite the fact that it is 7,000 square feet it seems cozy. So much coziness costs though, this home is listed at $15.65 million. Pics after the jump or larger in the gallery.
