About this property

Sawtooth City Elegance, 360° views, loads of sun, peace and quiet

If peace and tranquility is what you are looking for, we've got it. Rest and rejuvenation, we've got it. Outdoor adventure, can't get any better. Needing a little culture, just drive the 40 minute scenic byway to Ketchum/Sun Valley and you'll find yourself in a small town with lots of flare; art galleries, symphonies, concerts, nice restaurants and more.
We call our home Eagle's Nest. It is a beautiful log house sitting atop a hill in the Sawtooth Valley. The majestic living room windows face the Sawtooth Mountains. You will never get tired of that view, but walk around the 360° deck and you will see there is a magnificent view in every direction.

We are located within the first-ever Gold Tier Dark Sky Preserve in the U.S., making the night sky views stunning. You won't believe how many stars are up there. The stars are dazzling given that there are no city lights within 100 miles.

There a 2 large bedrooms upstairs, one with a king sized bed, the other with a queen and a twin. These two bedrooms have views of the Sawtooth mountains as well. Downstairs there is a second master bedroom with a queen sized bed and a twin, a large playroom/media area and a 4th bedroom with 2 twin beds. There is a trundle bed in the play room.

Alturus lake is 7 miles away, Redfish lake is a 24 mile drive as is the quaint western town of Stanley. Smiley Creek store and restaurant is .6 miles down the hill. You could easily walk or bike to have a meal (open seasonally).

Fabulous trails for the mountain biker and/or hiker abound in the Sawtooth area. Easy walks all the way up to rigorous and rugged hiking, biking or even climbing are near by. Some of these trails are available right out the front door. For a day you'd rather sit a bit, try a river trip down the famous "river of no return", the Salmon river; or float the lazy river near Alturus lake.

We have a fire pit, well stocked kitchen, beach towels, coolers, and beach chairs for your use. We live locally, and will do everything we can to meet your needs.

Redfish lake lodge and Sawtooth Hotel in Stanley offer fine dinning. Be sure to visit the Stanley bakery for breakfast or lunch. They have legendary baked goods including a few gluten free selections.

For winter travelers, groomed x-country ski trails are 5 miles down-valley, there is great backcountry skiing and if you wish, you can snowmobile, ski or snowshoe right out the front door. Snowmobile rentals are available at Smiley Creek Lodge.

Smiley Creek airport has a dirt runway for small planes is .6 miles away. You could walk to Eagle's Nest from there.

Perfectly situated close to Ketchum, but in the heart of the great outdoors.
Please note: RV's, pull behind campers and tent trailers are not allowed on the property.

Why they chose this property

We feel so fortunate to have been able to purchase a property with such magnificent views and in this pristine area. We love the access to hiking and biking as well as winter sports. We love the remoteness and quite. And we especially love the clean fresh air. The place lightens the soul and you never want to leave.

What makes this property unique

We had been searching for properties in this area for over a year. This one was for sale, but honestly we didn't think we could afford it. We would just pine over it. When offers we made on other properties fell through and the price dropped bit on this one, we put on our thinking caps. We thought if we could sell another cabin we had in the area we might just be able to pull it off. We put out the word that our other cabin was for sale, got an offer within days, made and offer on this one and the rest is history. The universe conspired in our favor so fast it made our heads spin. We couldn't be happier.
