Sun Valley Estate – Perfect All Year
This wonderful property has been the venue of choice for every trip our active family, and sometimes just my wife and I, have made to Sun Valley for the last seven or eight years. We are a family of experienced travelers, and know this beautiful, luxurious, comfortable and welcoming home will be the perfect place to return to ski, play tennis, run, fish, ride, hike, ice skate or just relax. The property is always maintained perfectly, and accommodates us, no matter our family’s and guests’ individual and varied pursuits or the season. For Winter, there are two wood burning fireplaces in the main living areas on the ground floor, a huge kitchen with everything (including an indoor BBQ), a sauna, hot tub, triple-bay heated garage with plenty of room to store skis and other sports paraphernalia, a very large mud room/laundry room for boots, parkas, gloves and helmets, and wet gear. For Spring through Fall, there is a beautiful, private patio with outdoor fireplace, with a view to the fairway and the Idaho sagebrush hills beyond. The owner has provided every detail for this luxury home. The great kitchen, with numerous work areas (including four sinks and, I repeat, an indoor BBQ), is one of our favorite details as it has more than enough room for all chefs, “wannabee” chefs, helpers and guests to appropriate their own space and interact comfortably. There are formal areas, a huge dining area (with fireplace), and other areas with comfortable, casual seating. The ground floor and the upstairs bedrooms all have great mountain and golf course views. From the owner’s suite (with gas fireplace and seating areas), from the VIP bedroom, and from the “office” (with its gas fireplace, built in desk, and fold out bed), one can see “Baldy” and “Dollar” mountains. Two additional bedrooms upstairs have views to the hills. The layout of the house works just great. We have never had a problem or concern while at the property. When we have had questions or asked for information about local events or amenities, the owner has been quick to respond with extensive and insightful information. I recommend you book this property – except when we want to be here!
