Location, Views, Size, Quality, Comforts = Best Sv Home Deal!!

Located in the sparsely populated Lake Creek valley neighborhood, our home enjoys proximity to town, just two miles NORTH of Ketchum/Sun Valley, as well as privacy, views, seclusion and open spaces. The close proximity of both town and nature, combined with the exceptional attributes of the house and the very fair price, make our home an unbeatable choice for those who love Sun Valley. Sun Valley visitors are nature lovers who crave space, sunshine, views, privacy, dark night skies and room for the dog to roam. They like to be free of commute traffic, congestion and other complexities they're trying to leave behind in cities, and to be close to the river, convenient to hiking, biking and fishing, the incomparable downhill ski facilities, and the world-class cross-country skiing. Then, they like their accommodations to be NICE - tastefully decorated, fresh, uncluttered, exceptionally clean, fully-equipped, spacious and airy but likewise cozy and homey, and with a bathroom for every bedroom, a hottub, an extra living room with extra audio-visual... and of course a big granite kitchen open to everything. Oh, and they like it to be fairly priced. Well, that's this house... four doors from Governor Schwarzenegger and about a mile from Senator and Theresa Kerry in one of Sun Valley's most desirable and lightly populated NORTH valleys, just two miles from central Ketchum, an easy tra la la on a bike into town for dinner, concert, craft fair, etc. By car it's a quick five minutes to those activities or to park by the lifts in winter. Compare this property to all those agent-represented deals - we understand that you are looking for value! This 4 bedroom, 4 bath 4,100-sf-house is owned by the retired founder of what was SV's largest private property management company until we sold the company in the year 2000. The house is set up optimally for visitors, offering everything that a vacationer wants to find in a rental property - at the right price and in the right location.... Now, as of the beginning of 2017, we have completed what will no doubt be the last big improvement we will make to the house - a 300sf "sunroom" projecting into the wonderful east and south views of Lake Creek and surrounding peaks. The new space provides for a third hospitality/conversation area, one without TV and meant to just enjoy the view and the cozy gas log wood stove we've installed at the opposite end of the great room from the existing fireplace and TV seating area. Thus the finished great room, wide open to the kitchen of course, now extends from the cozy west end to the airy and light-filled east end, giving our guests the luxury of choosing between, say, football games or the serenity of the mountain setting and possibility of, for example, watching visiting elk groups in their search for winter shelter. Now, too, "office" functions will be downstairs in a corner of the sunroom, leaving the spacious loft area for pursuits such as yoga, meditation, play, puzzles or projects (this aspect is yet to be formatted). We are still making furnishing decisions, but we have tried out the new place and are satisfied that it is just what the house needed to be all it can be. We are sure you'll agree. Another big advantage of our place is the sleeping arrangements. Four bedrooms, each with their own bath (and each bedroom in its own wing), two (going on three) living rooms plus the library/loft awaiting its functional definition, four TVs, including a new 65' curved-screen Ultra High Def 4K Samsung Smart TV (with DVR and sound bar surround system) in the main living room, wifi throughout the house, streaming for 3 of the TVs, garage, decks, private hottub, playhouse, gas BBQ, Restoration Hardware dining room on the east end of the great room.... from the moment you arrive you'll be saying this is just what you were hoping for! Because Lake Creek flows next to the property, much of the nearby land is remains open, natural, green (or white) and inviting. Beds are K,TT(K),TT(K),Q + sofa sleeper in 2nd living room. The infrequently-used beds are all comfortable. The top floor master is almost 1,000 square feet, with private view deck, one of those lavish marble bathrooms, and indoor corner jettub, plus huge walk-in closet/dressing room. You won't find this home cluttered with personal stuff. The cabinets and closets are empty and ready for your use! The decorating features art quilts, live plants, wood and color; the emphasis is on home-style comfort from which to enjoy the incomparable outdoor environment. The Lake Creek Trailhead, Sun Valley's best mountain biking, hiking, and fishing area, is just down the street. Take the dog for a swim in the river while you cast for catch-and-release whoppers. And in winter the same trailhead begins the pristine grooming of the North Valley Trails for classic and skate skiing. Just five miles up the highway is where the famous Boulder Mountain Trail, with the same amazing grooming, heads north for 35k - doggie trails too! Downhill skiing is in the other direction, just two miles to access either River Run or Warm Springs at Baldy or to park at Dollar Mountain, the absolute beginner area adjacent to SV proper. WATCH OUT FOR AGENT-REPRESENTED PROPERTIES! You will pay much more for what you get. Be especially aware of location factors. Anything south of Ketchum is in the commute traffic!
