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.

I love this quiet, uncrowded, peaceful wooded residential neighborhood on a low-traffic street by the ski mountain and river - with most town amenities only 5-10 minutes away (walk, bike, free bus)!

The river-rock gas (new) fireplace reminds me of wonderful times 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, theaters, library, gardens and nice people.

Perfect for me: I can walk quickly to ski, river, hike, bike, with yummy food, farmer's market, galleries, theaters, yoga & pools close by. My large organic garden area (over 20 trees) has a fenced area for dogs & privacy.

Two free-bus stops are near. Everything is quickly and easily accessed! West Ketchum is highly-appreciated by locals, for its wooded (cool in Summer!) 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 wooded town where "a river runs through it", with great music, theater, arts and sciences (and a famous National Lab nearby). After moving West, I added snow-skiing, fly-fishing, piloting small aircraft & sailing to hiking, biking, river and ocean sports.

LOTS 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 - 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 river canyon to North Fork (a nice retreat within a day's drive), or 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, theaters, yoga, pool. Free local buses stop within a block - 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.
