Jackson Hole Sotheby's International Realty

One of the most beautiful places in the world, Jackson Hole, is a valley that is fifteen miles wide and forty miles long. In the center of this valley, lies the famous Bar BC Ranch where the Snake and Gros Ventre rivers meet.

The Bar BC Ranch is accessed via Spring Gulch Road and is approximately four miles from the town of Jackson. The Spring Gulch corridor is home to some of the last original Jackson Hole working ranches. Since 2004 the Bar BC Ranch has slowly formed into one of the most sought-after residential areas in the valley.

Viewable to the west is the world-class Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, famous for its deep powder, unmatched skiing and recreational opportunities. A few miles north of the property is the small but sophisticated Jackson Hole Airport, allowing for convenient travel to and from the property. Father north yet, but only ten miles or so, is the stunning Grand Teton National Park leading into Yellowstone National Park.

Of the 2.7 million acres in Teton County, where the Bar BC Ranch is located, 97 percent are part of national forests, parkland, or other protected public lands.  As one of Jackson Hole’s most well known ranches, this pristine acreage has remained unspoiled due to careful stewardship of the land.

Due to the incredible success of Bar BC Ranch real estate sales, a new offering – Bar BC East, has just been released.

Just across the country lane of Spring Gulch Road from the Bar BC Ranch is a stunning corridor of land that was part of the famous Lucas Ranch cira 1896. The 3 parcels that make up Bar BC East range from 35 to 49 acres. This is a riparian corridor with private Gros Ventre River frontage and spring-fed tributaries on 2 of the parcels. The 3^rd parcel is borders Grand Teton National Park.

All have stunning Grand Teton views, a private trail extending to the confluence of the Gros Ventre and Snake Rivers, and lovely blue spruce and cottonwood trees and foliage. They are ideal for equestrian use.

These sites will forever maintain the western spirit and open spaces that characterize the Rocky Mountain West.

Jackson Hole Sotheby’s International Realty hosted one of the first luxury real estate auctions in the valley in the summer of 2010 – a historic ranch near Kelly, WY with a stunning 10,000 sq. ft. home and the Marlboro barn, made famous by the 1971 western epic “The Wild County”.

While not an unheard of, the high-end real estate auction was a relatively new idea with virtually no track record here in Jackson Hole. In the case of this auction, it generated the highest property sale price in Jackson Hole that year.

More recently, our agents at Jackson Hole Sotheby’s have represented the winning bidder in the last 3 luxury auctions in Jackson Hole.

The process for buying and selling a luxury estate at auction is different than a traditional real estate transaction.  Typically the estate up for auction is available for interested buyers to preview every day in the weeks heading up to the auction – usually from 1:00 p.m to 4:00 p.m. Potential buyers need to register 3 days prior to auction day and a deposit is required at that time.

In the case of the upcoming auction on September, 12th, the deposit is $250,000 which is fully refunded to the non-winning bidder.

The potential buyers arrive on auction day and the bidding begins. In the case of the most recent auction, Grand Teton Estate, our agent represented the winning buyer who was bidding via telephone.

The luxury auctions that Jackson Hole Sotheby’s agents have represented have all been no-reserve or absolute auctions. From the seller’s perspective, advertising an auction as having no reserve price can be desirable because it potentially attracts a greater number of bidders due to the possibility of a bargain. If more bidders attend, a higher price might ulitmatley be achived.

Call For Offers – 7/5/2013

A nearly unmatched location in Jackson, this parcel is located at the gateway to the town of Jackson directly on the main highway from both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and is perfectly situated for upscale mixed-use development. The property is within walking distance to the town square, 5 minutes to Grand Teton National Park and borders the famous and beautiful National Elk Refuge.

It also located directly on the Teton County pathways – an extensive network of bike paths allowing for non-car travel all through town and all the way into the center of Grand Teton National Park.

This location is a “logical place for lodging uses in Jackson”.  The use of in-town land for this type of development can be a popular decision as it helps to keep development close to town core leaving the surrounding open spaces undeveloped to protect wildlife and view corridors.

Choosing Jackson Sotheby’s International Realty to list this Forest Service Parcel went outside the Forest Service’s usual method of selling land. This method was chosen due to the advantages of having a local broker with knowledge of the community.
