Bald Mtn、川によるアーティストの家。 スキー、魚釣り、ハイキング、自転車、食事、劇場まで歩く+

An active mature woman, wildlife photographer, hiker, skier, fisher, musician, film and theatre lover, computer & software industry professional/director, world traveller, private-pilot, sailor, organic gardener and more! I love animals, especially dogs, birds, bears, wolves and other wildlife!

As a former music performer and actor, I enjoy and support accomplished and rising young artists in the Merola Opera Program, SF Opera, SF Conservatory, Opera Parallele and others in San Francisco and Sun Valley. My key focus: to support wilderness, wildlife and great (timeless) music!

My home and gardens have been extensively renovated and upgraded in recent years. Several guests have returned for multiple visits.

This area has it all while very quiet and uncrowded. I love my peaceful wooded residential neighborhood on a low-traffic street by the ski mountain and river, with most town amenities only 5-10- minutes away!

The river-rock gas (new) fireplace reminds me of wonderful times spent in the Appalachians, notably the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (great for much but not for snow-skiing)!

I sought/bought a mountain "cabin in the woods" near a river, mountain sports and wildlife, with great pro-quality music, art, theatres, library and nice people.

My Ketchum cabin is perfect: I can walk quickly to ski, river, hike, bike, with food, galleries, theatres, yoga close by I have a large organic garden area (I've planted over 30 trees) with a fenced area for dogs & privacy. Two free-bus stops are very near. Everything I seek is quickly and easily accessed! West Ketchum is highly-appreciated by locals, for its location by the river and Bald mountain.

I learned to swim in a mountain stream and to fish and canoe in rivers and lakes. I grew up in a cultured University very-wooded town where "a river runs through it", with great music, theatre, arts and sciences (and a famous National Lab nearby). I later added snow-skiing, fly-fishing, piloting small aircraft & sailing to hiking, biking, river and ocean sports.

There is so much in this region to enjoy - it's a wonderland! The nearby 730,864-acres SNRA includes a large wilderness, with Swiss-Alps-like Sawtooth mountains, lakes, rivers and wildlife, where one can really escape into nature.

Take easy day trips to Silver Creek Preserve (famous for fly-fishing and wildlife including moose), Craters of the Moon monument, and Galena summit & beyond to the Salmon river, Redfish Lake and Stanley. For longer adventures, continue N thru a spectacular canyon along the river to North Fork, a nice retreat within a day's drive, or on to Glacier National Park & Flathead Lake.

LOCATION, privacy, calm, cozy, artful, dog-friendly: a private 1/2 duplex home (not condo) in a quiet residential neighborhood with a private upscale "cabin in the woods" feel, yet close to everything indoors & outdoors!

Walk to the river, mountain lifts (including gondola), trails, parks, art galleries, bars, restaurants, theatres, yoga. Free local buses stop within a block, so you don't have to drive. It's only 5-10 minutes' drive to most everything, if you have a car. I offer private parking for up to 4 cars.
