This property offers privacy and views of the Teton and Big Hole mountain ranges. In addition, it is easily accessed year-round. Part of a 40 acre subdivision created in 1985, Teton Hideaway, there are three other homes, with open space between the homes, and disignated building sites.
The owners of Silversprings have lived in this house for over twenty years, and have done numerous remodels over the years to enrich this comfortable house, beginning with the complete overhaul of the original farmhouse, adding on a breakfast room addition, and river rock fireplace/rock walls. Oak flooring, cherry cabinets, and tile and stone work, carpeting in family rooms and bedrooms. With a growing family, they went on to an addition of two large sun-lit basement bedrooms, a large family room, sunroom/piano room, and a library/den. This addition came in 1995, with the realization that they had been outnumbered by their children, and they needed the extra room. At this time, they also added a detached two-car garage with an attached greenhouse. The grounds of the yard include an established garden and beautiful landscaping, with automatic underground sprinklers.
The 1000 square foot guest house, which had once been an outbuilding on the original farm location, was completely remodeled in 2002, with cherry flooring/Mexican tile bathroom, master suite/bathroom. It also has a very nice living/kitchen/dining area, and a sleeping loft. Wake up to the quiet of the day, with majestic sunrises over the Tetons, an outdoor enthusiast's paradise!
Now, in addition to the house, the owner is listing Lot 10 of Teton Hideaway. The original springs is located on this property, unobstructed Teton Views, and a year-round creek runs threough the property. Call for details.

The picture above exemplifies the Teton views from the property, but it is also a view of the property itself, the hilltop in the center of this photo, taken from the state line road. Idaho is one half mile from the property edge, we are the most Western Wyoming location! The original farmhouse is somewhat obscured by the willow trees, and at this time, 1976, the house had no neighbors, except for the Kaufman homestead to the south. While this image is from years past, Silversprings still retains a very pastoral and rural feeling. |
