Jackknife Creek Ranch
ď‚–
INTRODUCTION Jackknife Creek Ranch is comprised of 220+/- acres, nearly two fishable miles of the Salt River, a spring creek that arises on the property and Jackknife Creek, a native cutthroat spawning tributary. The ranch lies alongside the Idaho border beneath the picturesque Caribou Mountain range, just 45 minutes south of Jackson Hole and only 15 minutes from the Palisades Reservoir, headwaters of the famous South Fork of the Snake River. The ranch is within easy driving distance to a multitude of worldfamous fly fishing waters including the South Fork, North Fork and Henry's Fork of the Snake River, the Warm River, the Fall River, the Teton River, the Green River, the Hoback River and the nearby Greys River, perhaps the most scenic and favorite fishery amongst those who live in the area. This exclusive property provides the opportunity to purchase the ranch in its entirety or in separate parcels.
Offered for $2,750,000
The entire Jackknife Creek Ranch property is surrounded on three sides by the Perkins family of The Orvis Company, who have created a private spring creek fishing paradise by restoring the spring creeks on their property. With the help of the owner’s hydrologist, Gillilan Associates of Bozeman, MT, they have done the same on their property with the restoration and enhancement of the spring creek to a 50 cfs private fishing venue and restoration of the historical alignment and habitat for Jackknife Creek, which had been severely degraded by years of dairy farm operations and over-grazing. The property has been transformed from a worn-down dairy ranch to a first class recreational fly fishing ranch appealing to the Jackson Hole fly fishing market.

The property offers not only great fishing but also excellent waterfowl hunting and observation opportunities. The expansive sub-irrigated pastureland is ideally suited for the creation of one or more trout and duck ponds. One such pond, in cooperation with the neighbors are being researched to create a second spring creek anabranch of the Salt River, which would provide an additional mile of private fly fishing water.

The Owner's vision is for the property to be held for long term ownership as a recreational fly fishing and waterfowl hunting property, with any future development of the property being carefully planned so as to preserve the open space habitat the property offers. The Owner has secured the entitlement for 9 separate homesite lots to be located on the old homestead section of the property, and has installed the infrastructure to allow for their eventual development if so desired. This plan maintains the maximum amount of open space for the property, which is preserved by virtue of a conservation easement on 180 of the 260 acres guaranteeing view corridors and the use of the hunting and fishing areas in perpetuity. Intelligent CC&Rs will ensure the ongoing quality of the architecture and recreational uses on the property, thus preserving its value.

With a newly remodeled and fully furnished ranch house available for immediate occupancy, and the ability to develop more homes or a family compound on the property, or to relinquish such rights for possible tax benefits, the property offers not only a place where you can teach your grandkids to fish, but an investment opportunity allowing for multiple hold or exit strategies.

“Don't give your son money. As far as you can afford it, give him horses. No one ever came to grief, except honourable grief, through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing horses, but never through riding them; unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.� - Winston Churchill The Works Of Winston Churchill
