930 Snow King Drive

Description

Perched in a remarkably private setting on Snow King Mountain, this charming mountain retreat borders the National Forest and offers immediate access to the extensive trail systems of the Snow King Ski Area and Cache Creek directly from the property. Hiking, mountain biking, skiing, snowmobiling, and year-round recreation begin right out the back door, while downtown Jackson remains just minutes away. Set high on the wooded hillside of Snow King Mountain, 930 Snow King Drive occupies a rare in-town position where elevation, privacy, and true Teton Views converge. Sited on a .67-acre lot, the property is laid out for a large future expansion of at least 4 bedrooms, and there could also be a large basement with an entire window wall looking out through the trees to a lower terrace that has a fun sized pond/pool already constructed. There is also room on the property for a large 2 car garage with a separate complete living space on the second floor offering Teton views. The existing home could serve as the kitchen and living core of an expanded residence, or be reimagined entirely in a Mountain Modern design given the abundance of existing windows and natural light. The original owner and builder is a local contractor with over 40 years working in Teton County. He planned for this adorable Victorian style residence to someday be converted to a 5,000 square foot plus family home from the start and that vision is embedded in every aspect of the site layout and structure. This is a rare in-town setting with Teton views elevated above the rooftops of town, framed by mature Douglas Fir trees, and capturing forest and mountain light with a sense of retreat that feels distinct within the town limits while remaining closely connected to the community below. The property has been steadily worked on and improved through the years while the home has not been lived in for 20 years but used as an executive office and a serene place to go think and plan. The current residence is thoughtfully scaled, cute and full of character. There is 1,000 square feet of clear Redwood decking that blends right into the forest floor. The windows and doors create an open concept floor plan that welcomes the outdoors to the interior of the home. The upstairs has a large kitchen, dining, living area all with vaulted wood ceilings and a large wood burning stone fireplace. The downstairs has a bedroom and bathroom with a flexible floor plan that includes a downstairs family room easily converted to a second bedroom or sleeping area - creating an ideal in-town retreat, guest residence, or a peaceful mountain escape. Framed by mature Douglas Fir trees in a stunning natural setting the home captures expansive Teton views and a rare sense of seclusion so close to town in one of Jacksons most desirable hill side neighborhoods. With direct proximity to Snow King Mountain and the property adjoining protected public lands, this is a uniquely appealing opportunity for those seeking privacy, recreation, and effortless access to the best of Jackson Hole.
