Splurge Vs Steal: Luxe Mountain Base Camps Outside Jackson, Wyoming
Share News:
In this day and age, privacy and seclusion are the hottest commodities. So, for this week’s Splurge vs. Steal, we’re comparing two gorgeous mountain base camps just outside Jackson, Wyoming.
Both of these beauties are just a 20-minute drive from both Teton Village and Jackson. We’re talking convenient access paired with the seclusion that makes you feel like you have the whole mountain to yourself.
Which is calling your name? The decadent log mansion Splurge or the sleek, mountain-chic Steal?
Splurge: Sprawling Log Mansion with Creek for $17.75 Million
This Wyoming estate is the real deal. The five-bed, seven-bath house is a bona fide log cabin — although ‘cabin’ doesn’t seem to fit when the structure in question is 6,802 square feet. Log beams feature in just about every aspect of the construction, endowing the house with a cozy, Western personality.
The home itself, while extremely special, may not even be the star of the show here. It’s hard to beat the natural setting that this estate boasts. Set right up on the edge of Fish Creek, the house sits on 5.88 acres. The result? A tranquil sense of seclusion in the Grand Tetons with room to roam.
From the listing:
“A quintessential Wyoming property, bordered by 105 acres of protected lands, sits at the end of a private road and is nestled amongst a mature forest of quaking Aspens and stately Pine and Spruce trees. In addition to the extensive creeks on the property is an enviable trout-filled pond on the western portion of the property. ‘A fly fisherman’s paradise.’ The hand crafted, custom log/timber and stone home, which was meticulously designed and built, exudes a timeless western feel and personality.”
Steal: Mountain-Chic Cabin With Modern Amenities for $6.95 Million
Inside and out, this home is sleek and modern, but with a cozy mountain element interwoven throughout. Although coming in at a $10 million discount, our Steal is comparable in square footage (6,263 square feet) and acreage (4.83 acres).
The interior is lighter and brighter with just the statement wooden rafters rather than entire walls and ceilings of log. From the industrial, metal light fixtures to the organically-shaped vessel sinks, this home is just a little bit edgy while maintaining a cozy, mountain-home feel.
From the listing:
“This home has all the features you would come to expect in an exceptional house – state of the art lighting and sound system, in floor heat, Miele cappuccino maker, plaster walls, steam shower and a butler’s pantry are just a few items that make this house stand out from the crowd. The master located on its own separate wing, enjoys incredible panoramic views to the Grand Teton and well beyond.”
