Nestled between the Teton Range and the Snake River, Eagle's Nest combines the authenticity of traditional Western design with exquisite siting and extraordinary attention to detail. The notable architectural firm of Jonathan Foote and Associates started with two 19th Century Montana homesteads, carefully had them reconstructed on-site to form the east and west wings of the house, then connected the wings to a new central structure, providing a grand space with reclaimed timbers, stacked stone, and an abundant use of glass. With complimentary interior finishes featuring antique fir wide plank flooring, plaster walls, and rock accents, the home has an overall feeling of comfort and rustic elegance.
Entering the home, the visitor proceeds through a foyer to an inviting den, complete with rock wall fireplace and 60-inch, plasma screen TV. Off the den is a gourmet kitchen, with a Thermador double oven and six-burner stove top, plus a large Sub-zero refrigerator/freezer. The great room, with access from both the kitchen and den, features a 30-foot-tall vaulted ceiling and breathtaking views of the Tetons, which tower over an adjacent trout-filled pond and five-acre meadow beyond. Anchored by a dining room table on one end and a meticulously restored 1880's Brunswick billiards table on the other, the great room has as its centerpiece a magnificent wood-burning stone fireplace facing a spacious seatin area.
The west wing, which is connected to the main house by a glass-walled corridor framed by aged timbers, houses an extraordinary master bedroom suite. The bedroom itself has a 15-foot wide window at the foot of the bed facing north to the Tetons, with separate his and her baths, each with a generous walk-in closet. A spacious sitting room with glass on three sides adjoins the master bedroom, and up a short flight of stairs are an office plus two twin beds in an adjacent alcove, complete with flat screen TV.
Eagle's Nest has four additional bedrooms, spread throughout the home for maximum privacy. The junior suite, complete with its own wood-burning fireplace, is accessed from the great room up a spiral, hand-crafted rock staircase with bentwood rail. A second glass-enclosed corridor leads to a charming guest wing on the east end of the house, with two bedrooms, two baths, and a sitting room with a stacked stone wood-burning fireplace, large flat screen TV, and exceptional views of the Tetons over the meadow to the north. The garage, which is connected to the main house by a short covered walkway, has an upstairs studio apartment complete with full bath, kitchen, and queen size bed.
Thoughtfully sited on over ten acres, just three miles from the town of Wilson, Eagle's Nest offers both a high degree of privacy and easy access to the town of Jackson and Teton Village ski area. One of the finest homes available for rental in Jackson Hole, Eagle's Nest is perfect for people who appreciate the finest craftsmanship and value a perfect location, incredible views, and a warm and spacious home. |
