SALES
in the Sun Valley Resort Market Are UP for 2011
As of early June this year, sales for all property types in the Sun Valley resort market were up compared with this time last year. According to sales figures collected from the Sun Valley Board of Realtors, there were a total of 88 sales from January 1 through June 8, 2010, whereas in 2011 there have been 117 sales from January 1 through June 8. It’s significant that with a total of 201 resort market sales on record for 2010, this year’s sales so far (117) are already half way to matching last year’s production. This is particularly good news because what can be the busiest selling seasons for many local real estate agents—summer and fall—are yet to come. “The fact that sales activity is up significantly over where it was in the first half of 2010 certainly makes me optimistic that we will see this trend continue through the summer season, which tends to be the most vibrant portion of the year in terms of closed transactions,” agent Dan Gorham explains. The market, however, remains competitive, largely due to the significant number of distressed properties continuing to drive down prices. The final word from the local real estate community: The forecast may be improving, but sellers are advised to keep prices realistic. Value remains a number-one priority among buyers.
SUN VALLEY COMPANY is developing for-sale property for the first time since Earl Holding purchased the company in 1977. The development begins this summer with construction of the first four of 12 White Clouds Townhomes. Pre-sale of these contemporary, luxury homes has begun.

Wine cellars can be customized to fit any style of property, and they are sure to add value and character to any home. Wine enthusiast, Ryan Waterfield, visits two notable wine cellars in Ketchum to offer a glimpse into these cathedrals for connoisseurs.
Old World elegance meets New World refinement in the intimate Rheinschild cellar. Listed by Pam Goetz, Sotheby’s International Realty.
It’s Wine Auction season here in Sun Valley, and the talk around the Valley is wine, wine, wine. In fact, given that in 2010 the United States surpassed France as the largest wine consuming country, it seems the rest of America is also excited about wine. If you’re a wine enthusiast or collector and thinking about adding a wine cellar to your home, take a look at our two featured wine cellars here for inspiration…
Stepping inside Erin and Bill Rheinschild’s wine cellar, you feel as if you’ve been whisked away to Europe, as Erin looked to some of her favorite wine cellars and catacombs around Italy and France for inspiration. With handcrafted doors imported from Italy and a rustic yet refined Frontier Stone from Montana climbing the walls until it meets the brickwork that arches overhead, the Rheinschild cellar is a sophisticated nod to Old World sun valley property news

property trends tion. Because Jim, a serious collector of wine since the early 1980s, needed a space for his studied reverence for wine, they contracted with a California company specializing in wine cellars and this partnership bred a cellar that offers both focus and drama. The cellar, with a capacity for approximately 6,000 bottles, is supported by what Jim Figge refers to as a “green room.” The green room, a staging area of sorts, holds nearly that capacity behind the scenes. In the anteroom to the Figge cellar, sits a tip of the hat to one of Ketchum’s

elegance that never neglects its stage in the American West. The centerpiece of this cellar is the dining area just outside the climate controlled storage room enclosed in glass. In such a setting, dinner guests are assured that good wine is never far away. For another local couple, Jim and Sandy Figge, one of the driving considerations behind the design of their custom-crafted cellar was the need to house and showcase 27-liter, 18-liter and 9-liter bottles as well as magnums (1.5-liters) and the standard 1-liter bottles in their collec-

The slate floor and the burgundy walls in this anteroom create a warm, inviting atmosphere where a few good friends and wine aficionados may sit and luxuriate over a good bottle (or two…) of wine. While the anteroom blends comfort and sophistication, when you peek behind the door, your jaw drops. The golden hues of the handcrafted wood shelving and the intricately and precisely placed lighting within the shelves emanate energy and vitality. The shelves surround the walls and extend all the way to the top of the room. At the center of each wall is an arched alcove that echoes
Architect Buffalo Rixon, a partner at Ruscitto, Latham, and Blanton, says “lighting, texture, approach, and architectural design all blend together to form the experience of the wine cellar.” He assures us, though, there are many ways that an architect can meet their clients’ needs and match their clients’ personalities and tastes. the arch crowning the two columns and shelves at the center of the room. In this cellar, there is no question that wine is the star and everything else plays a supporting role—and isn’t that the way it should be? If you’re in the market for some place to store the wine you purchase at the Sun Valley Center Wine Auction this summer, take a look at these three prime properties, each featuring an incredible wine cellar… This Gimlet gem’s cellar can house 1,300 bottles of your favorite vintage.

When I first moved to town, I was 22 years-old and could fit all my possessions in the trunk of my old Volvo. I was new to town, but it didn’t take me long to learn that for the 20-something crowd, the prime real estate in Ketchum was the bench in front of Grumpy’s after a day spent on Baldy… Here in Ketchum, I first fell in love with mountain living and all that entails: skiing, biking, or walking along the Big Wood under a canopy of golden aspen leaves. I also discovered something else to adore about this town, the unexpected side of living in Ketchum: the outstanding cultural activities that thrive here. Consider the caliber of programming that the Sun Valley Center for the Arts offers (Hello? David Sedaris, Ari Fleischer,
Michael Pollan just to name a few of their recent speakers). And who hasn’t had one of their best dates on a Gallery Walk? The Center’s Wine Auction stands as an unparalleled event featuring some of the best chefs and vintners from around the world, and the Writers’ Conference brings in Pulitzer Prize winning authors to run workshops with those of us who are lucky enough to live here. This list could go on and on. sun valley property news

Yes, living in Ketchum is a dream. We live among worldly neighbors who care about the local community as well as the larger one and who never forget to keep their mountain bike tires pumped for that lunchtime ride and their skis waxed and readily accessible. Seriously, where else could you have the benefits of living free and clear of the rat race but still see Sir Salman Rushdie speak? Yes, Ketchum is the heart of the Valley and it beats and beats. As for the prime real estate—there is plenty to go around, and the prices feel too good to pass up these days. However, for my money, the bench in front of Grumpy’s on a sunny day still takes top honors…now, I’m not saying I’d turn down one of Jack Bariteau’s luxury condominiums (see opposite page), but that bench offers a pretty good view and the beers are always cold!

With this development, he broke with the traditional mountain look represented in the Colonnade and moved even further into the mountain modern hinted at by the Christiania building. Each 600 Second Street home, designed by local architect, Jeff Williams, offers clean lines and a high design gestalt while featuring 100 yearold white oak paneling from a salvaged Portland, Oregon factory floor. Each unit is two stories boasting enviable views of Baldy and remarkable outdoor living areas —the perfect enticement for potential buyers who want the in-town experience with immediate outdoor access. Jack has left his indelible mark on Ketchum; his vision, sophisticated yet reverent of the natural surroundings, has bolstered Ketchum’s real estate offerings and offered a stage for some of our favorite local businesses. His next project, Hotel Ketchum, a 77 room, four-star hotel, will sit at the gateway to town and will surely add another chapter to Ketchum’s resurgence.

Jack Bariteau, a developer in the business for over 35 years, first started coming to the Ketchum area in the 1970s; in the 1990s, he began looking for a small home in Ketchum. His heart set on living in town, he was shocked at the lack of options that fit his criteria. He wanted well appointed, artfully rendered, high-end living in the middle of Ketchum. Recognizing that he couldn’t be the only one out there looking for such digs and the ease such a location promised, Jack and his like-minded investors bought the “old” Colonnade and developed a mixed-use building with vibrant ground-floor retail shops and high-caliber mountain penthouse living on the upper level. Since then, he has developed the Christiania building that houses local favorites like Iconoclast Books and offers a number of second floor professional offices and penthouse residences. His most recent development, and the place he now calls home, is 600 Second Street East, a series of nine private homes cascading with

nny day still takes top honors… now, I’m not saying I’d turn down one of Jack Bariteau’s luxury condominiums (see below), but that bench offers a pretty good view and the beers are always cold!
Since 1937 Trail Creek Cabin has lured many visitors to its idyllic location for sipping and supping. One more of its illustrious patrons was Ernest Hemingway. “Papa” Hemingway first came to Sun Valley in 1939. Sun Valley’s founder, Averell Harriman, hoped the lure of celebrities would benefit the resort’s publicity efforts to attract tourists. Trail Creek Cabin was a Hemingway favorite where he would
attend star-studded parties with the likes of Gary Copper—a Hemingway hunting and fishing partner. July 2, 2011, will mark the 50th anniversary of “Papa’s” death. Today, a memorial with a bronze bust of Hemingway overlooks Trail Creek.

outpost AN ARTIST’S HIDEAWAY IN THE SOUTH VALLEY BY MELANIE CRANDAL
Unassuming quickly becomes impressive—very impressive. The glass and steel-framed front door is imposing itself, towering nearly 15 feet. The downstairs houses an office and bathroom, as well as access to the garage and outside spaces. The main living space upstairs is dominated by light and oneness with the outside. The house blends seamlessly with the landscape, like a tree house without the trees—perched up but also shielded. Floor-to-ceiling functional glass doors and expansive windows reveal incredible vistas from three sides. From the living and dining area you barely have a sense that a kitchen is there. All appliances are hidden. The refrigerator sits behind recycled fir from the Carey Mill, which is used throughout. The oven is strategically placed behind a structural beam. It is rustic and simple, but the quality of materials and carefully considered design make it more sophisticated than rustic, more unpretentious than simple.

The winding drive up to Jan Cox’s Outpost in Bellevue can be described in one word—unassuming. Once turning off Highway 75, you pass funky barns, rusty tractors and industrial spaces. But as you drive closer and horses line the road, blood pressure drops. Beauty and calm envelop as you round the final bend to the concrete block house, itself unassuming until…a walk up to the front door changes everything.
The house blends seamlessly with the landscape, like a treehouse without trees… Expansive windows reveal incredible vistas from three sides.
left page: Nature provides all the drama that’s needed. Renowned architect Tom Kundig designed Outpost to be a star. Above: With highend appliances tucked away behind ruggedly beautiful materials, the kitchen perfects form and function—with none of the fuss.
OWNER AND ARCHITECT—LIKE MINDS CONNECT
Jan’s father, an architect, purchased the 40-acre parcel in Bellevue’s curiously named “Poverty Flats” in the 1970s, intending to build on it but never did. After years of living “in town” (Ketchum), Jan decided the time was right to take it on herself. A “big canvas” awaited and she was ready for “a big project.” Jan knew the person she wanted to engage. Renowned architect Tom Kundig, based in Seattle, was emerging as an international star. “We just clicked,” says Jan of her first meeting with Tom in 1999. An artist and highly creative herself, Jan had time to reflect on what she wanted for the property, using the site for parties and art installations before building commenced. By the time Jan sat down with Tom, she had a vision. But well aware of Tom’s talent, she was also very open to his ideas. The house and walled garden that emerged four years later represented several departures from what was planned. Changing needs and changing times, including a challenging economic climate, resulted in a smaller footprint. As Jan tells it, the

current structure reflects more of an expanded studio she conceived at one point in the planning process. With her children grown and their own places to stay while visiting, as well as separate studio space to pursue her art, she didn’t need a lot of space. It’s a house with strong elements—a Kundig trademark—a study in glass, steel, and reclaimed wood. Tom’s very direct approach to materials and finishes appealed to Jan. The interior’s few walls are organic, naturally pigmented clay plaster. There is virtually no sun valley property news

“There’s a phenomenon here,” says Jan. “I call it blissed out. People constantly comment on how it makes them feel.” The house does not interfere with its surroundings. It’s a curious harmony.

paint in the house, only two fire doors in the garage that were required to be painted. Untreated steel and wood are intended to age with the structure. There are no window coverings. None are needed. The positioning of the house provides complete privacy. Form marries function throughout Outpost. A high bookcase lining part of the open living space doubles as cabinets for the upstairs bedroom on the other side. The term “carefully considered,” used by Jan several times to describe Outpost, comes to mind yet again. It’s tough to separate the owner from the home as it’s clearly a personal vision, but one this writer could easily adopt. Spaces are spare but dotted with fabulous finds, like an Italian industrial take on a Swarovski crystal chandelier accented by heavy steel in the upstairs bath. A worn-looking but utterly charming piano sits in a corner of the open upstairs living area. The flow makes it ideal for entertaining. Cushions on her “floating” alcove supported by a structural steel beam are changed out seasonally. “In my work and in general, I highlight things that other people might not see,” she says. “And immersion in nature never hurts.” Indeed. “There’s a phenomenon here,” says Jan. “I call it blissed out. People constantly comment on how it makes them feel.” The house does not interfere with its surroundings. It’s a curious harmony. The sound of birds may permeate but never wind or other distractions. A little piece of heaven in Bellevue awaits. For more information on this property, please contact Katherine Rixon or Rob Cronin at 208.622.7722; www.svbrokers.com.

It’s four bedrooms and three and a half baths.” The main materials used in the home are concrete, plywood, and steel.

All the door handles are heavy steel cylinders, with doors stretching from floor to ceiling. Throughout the home heated concrete floors provide much-needed warmth in winter months. “No one would do concrete,” Denis says. “I wanted to use as many raw materials as possible. Straight concrete, not stained, and straight plywood, not stained. I wanted everything exposed.” A large concrete kitchen 56

counter divides the kitchen from the main room of the Ochi home, where a large piece by Ellsworth Kelly fills one wall overlooking a long wooden dining table with simple burgundy leather chairs. On one side of the fireplace hangs a large painting by Pat Steir, and above the fireplace is a piece by William T. Wiley. Two oversized dark green leather chairs and ottomans in front of the fireplace were designed by Charles Arnoldi. On a small side table next to the couch is a Jonathan Borofsky string piece, which stretches across the room to the fireplace wall. And an editioned Picasso ceramic sits upon the piano. Top to bottom: Charles Arnoldi’s, “Windfall,” a striking large acrylic that dominates a wall in the living room; The expansive kitchen counter space has plenty of room to exhibit, “Mars,” a bronze head by Katy Schimert.
Asked what he enjoys most about living here, Ochi tells us that Sun Valley is his Shangri-La.
Denis’s collection includes works that inspire his intellectual curiosity, such as a sculpture by Laura Stein. Stein’s environmental piece “Herd of Seven” watches over the second floor. Alongside Stein’s “Herd of Seven” is a 19th century Eskimo kayak, which lays across a banister below the sculpture. Stein’s piece is taxidermy deer forms in paraffin wax. “I like the mystery of this piece,” Denis says. “It reminds me of anthropology, and I like anthropology.” The main bedroom on the second floor includes more of Denis’s collection. A highlight of the main bedroom’s bath is a Japanese soaking tub, which sits prominently in a bath surrounded by glass dividing walls and large windows looking onto a concrete terrace, a significant second floor feature in several bedrooms. Other works throughout the Ochi home include rare pieces by Eric Orr, renowned for using his own blood and fractured human skull bones in his paintings. “Eric Orr’s painting was before DNA
became big in crime solving,” says Denis. “He said, ‘a chip of my paint could reproduce me.’” Works by contemporary artists such as Nancy Graves can also be seen in the Ochi home as well as highly collectible pieces by Robert Rauschenberg and Dennis Hopper. “Art is a gift coming from the heart,” Ochi says. “But unfortunately, in the last two decades, art has become more about branding and has become a commodity.” Asked what he enjoys most about living here, he tells us that Sun Valley is his Shangri-La. “Things have changed, but I still love it,” Denis says. “You can do things here and have more of an impact. We have been lucky. Pauli brings in young edgy artists and presents new opportunities for collectors allowing them to turn a corner in their collections.”

In Sun Valley, the Big Wood River receives help from the Warm Springs and Trail Creek tributaries.

along with Trail Creek are also the lifeblood of living in the Sun Valley where residents and visitors are drawn to the power of water from Idaho’s south central mountains. Award-winning and renowned bronze sculpture artist Dave McGary has made a home on the Wood River Valley in Rainbow Bend for five years where his family enjoys an environment he says is second to none. “Living on a river is unlike any experience in the world,” Dave says. “I think it’s the common bond of this beautiful area and people appreciate it.” Dave is considered a living legend among contemporary artists of the American West and is a master of realism in depicting Native American Indians. “When we decided to buy a home in Sun Valley, it was the river or nothing for us,” he says. “It has a real special feeling for my wife Molly and I and our daughter.”

Dave says the wildlife, the changing of seasonal colors in his back yard are incredible. “To wake up every morning to the sounds of the river and to go to sleep to it makes us very happy,” he says. “Any time it’s serenity and heaven to walk along the river. It’s grounding and peace of mind.” Dave looks forward to hosting Sun Valley Wine Auction vintner dinners at his home along the river so guests may enjoy his piece of paradise.

we’ll be debating the hottest property topics and dissecting the latest research and figures with our insightful and experienced real estate agents. We’ll bring you exclusive, unrivaled access to the very latest viewpoints on the Sun Valley Property Market, enabling you to maximize all property opportunities. This month, the area’s leading real estate experts analyze recent auction sales, buyer profiles, and market confidence to ascertain whether we are indeed seeing the early signs of a market recovery. Overall sales figures for the first part of 2011 as well as reports from individual real estate agents give us good reason to believe that the market may be beginning to make a turnaround. One standout example of an upward swing is the successful auction of the Chilali Lodge, a condominium complex near the heart of downtown Ketchum, this past February. These sales are widely viewed as a sign that buyers are out there and likely to make a move when they recognize a high-value opportunity such as the Chilali. As well, increasing buyer activity also tells us that buyers have confidence in the Ketchum-Sun Valley community as whole—a fact in which we can all take comfort.

sun valley property news
Promising Activity In addition to the Chilali, other activity this year points to a promising forecast. For example, our community may be gaining popularity among a desirable and recently elusive demographic: younger buyers. Agent Sue Engelmann explains that though it’s too early to know if this is a trend, appeal to younger buyers is essential to our economy’s health and she’s encouraged to see serious interest within this group. Engelmann credits the signs of interests among younger buyers to Sun Valley’s extraordinary quality of life. “People are realizing that investing in their health and well-being and in their children’s experiences is something that has to happen sooner rather than later,” she says, adding, “Quality of life is more important than ever, and our valley has a tremendous amount to offer in this respect.” Personally, Engelmann agrees with the increasing awareness among buyers that it’s a great time to invest in Sun Valley: “This lifestyle has never been a better value,” she says. Optimism Amongst Realtors Demographics aside, it’s clear that people are buying in 2011. Overall sales figures for 2011 show significantly increased activity, and many agents, like Engelmann, report that their own production is up. This, she explains, may be a very encouraging sign for the remainder of this year, especially because summer and fall tend to be her busiest seasons for transactions. “The fact that activity is up significantly over where it was in the first half of 2010 certainly makes me optimistic that we will

see this continue through what tends to be the meat of our selling season,” Engelmann says. Though signs, such as those discussed above, do suggest early-stage recovery, it’s clearly too early to let down our guard. Still, however, development is once again moving forward, which tells us that some insiders are beginning to feel more comfortable. Progress is being made toward new hotel development, for example—including Warm Springs Ranch, the Bald Mountain Hotel, and Hotel Ketchum. Jack Bariteau, one of the developers of Hotel Ketchum, says that interest is rising among prospective investors for the first time in three years—a sign of confidence in our community. “Sun Valley is still recognized for being one of the greatest all-seasons resorts in North America,” he says, and “people in the local market are well aware that new hotel development represents a great opportunity.”

Acknowledging that the market is still fragile, Huffman says that forging ahead now is a risk they’re willing to take in order to stay competitive. “Sun Valley is in the resort and real estate business for the long term,” he explains. “We prefer to be leading the townhome development rather than following, if at all possible.”

Ketchum • Sun Valley • North Ketchum
Together Ketchum and Sun Valley make up the ultimate summer and winter playground. Dining options abound—from some of the Northwest’s best burgers to sophisticated Italian, French, and Asian fusion fare—while late-night spots for music and cocktails can be found for every age group. Residents and visitors alike take to two wheels in the summer, cruising through town or along the paved bike path extending from north Ketchum to Hailey. Worldclass art—highlighted at evening Gallery Walks—and shopping make for exceptional browsing and buying. Hikers, often with the family dog in tow, hit in-town trials. Further north, the paddleboats and sandy shores of Redfish Lake and powerboating on Lake Alturas, both within an hour’s hour drive, make for unforgettable days in the sun. Of course Sun Valley Resort is a community cornerstone, its quaint village just as bustling in summer as in winter. Take a spin at the outdoor ice rink or take in a famous this-is-not-your-mother’s nighttime ice show and fireworks display. Both are not to be missed.

This building lot in North West Ketchum on Bear Lane is just under an acre. It views the original Ned Foster Homestead cabin, the original homestead in West Ketchum, that is a clue to the unique location at the base of Frenchmans Gulch for sun and close proximity to water at the Bigwood River (pick of the litter 130 years ago!) Fishing is only about 100 yards away via adjacent access trail, and Hemingway School and Park are not much further. Exceptional homes form the neighborhood in this uniquely hidden enclave. This is a rare property.
Yes, there are many homes available under replacement cost, but are they Green? This 3.36 acre lot adjacent to common area is ideal for a state of the art Green home with its sloped Southern Exposure allowing a home to be dug into the hillside for geothermal and have passive solar. Think Leeds Gold! Views of the Bowls and Seattle Ridge are complemented by views up Parker Gulch and wetland open space across the street. The last lot on a cul-de-sac street with only 5 houses, there is little traffic or noise. At the blow out asking price, one can go Green competitively!
