75 acres of pure Star Valley magic -- three parcels, two residences, and a geothermal phenomenon that rivals Yellowstone. The log home features tongue-and-groove pine interiors, a wall of glass framing panoramic mountain views, geothermal heat, gravity-flow spring water, and a year-round greenhouse with mature citrus. Next door, 55 acres of rare resort and recreational zoning come with a guest-ready lockout cabin, a finished outdoor mineral soaking pool, permitted commercial spring water rights, and endless room to build something legendary. County road access, grid power, fiber optic, and less than 20 minutes to Afton. Jackson Hole is one hour north. Truly one of a kind. An Extraordinary Star Valley, Wyoming Estate
There are properties that check boxes, and then there are properties that rewrite what's possible. Tucked into the breathtaking embrace of Star Valley's mountain panorama, this remarkable 75-acre, three-parcel estate is a rare alignment of pioneering self-sufficiency, resort-caliber possibilities, and a geothermal phenomenon that belongs in the same conversation as Yellowstone.
The primary residence is a masterfully crafted log home with tongue-and-groove pine interiors that feel both rugged and refined. The great room opens through a wall of glass to mountain and valley views -- a living painting that changes with every season. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, media room, and a layout designed for the way people actually live.
What truly distinguishes this home is its independence from the grid. Geothermal heating draws on the earth's own warmth. Gravity-flow spring water arrives pure and pressurized from the neighboring peaks -- no pump, no filtration, no bill, no anxiety. A sprawling 3,500+ SF greenhouse extends the growing season to twelve full months, anchored by mature citrus trees that bear fruit in defiance of a Wyoming address. This is not a homestead that aspires to self-sufficiency. It has already achieved it.
The neighboring 55-acre parcel carries something vanishingly rare in the Mountain West: resort and recreational zoning, already permitted for commercial use. A fully appointed four-bedroom, three-bath lockout cabin with kitchenette is guest-ready today. Partially constructed changing rooms and shower facilities frame the property's crown jewel -- a finished outdoor mineral soaking pool filled by a hot well water with documented healing properties.
The geothermal features here are not a footnote. They are a miniature Yellowstone -- a living, breathing natural ecosystem of thermal springs, mineral-rich water, and geological drama that commands attention. Numerous outbuildings and carefully chosen expansion sites await the developer, hospitality operator, or visionary family ready to build something legendary. Year-round access via county-maintained road. Grid electricity and fiber optic broadband already in place. Less than 20 minutes to Afton, Wyoming -- a full-service community with a major hospital, first-class grocery, farm and ranch supply, and a well-equipped municipal airport. Jackson Hole lies just one hour to the north.
Words are inadequate here -- and that is not hyperbole. This is genuinely one of the most singular properties available anywhere in the American West today. Inquire for a private showing. Some opportunities simply do not wait.
