The Summer and early Fall in Jackson Hole are heavenly with low humidity and average about 72F to 80F with sunny blue bird days being the norm with endless recreational activities. The nights are a refreshing 38F to 42F. The Winter and early Spring season is legendary at Jackson Hole Ski Resort that averages 475" (750" in 2010) of light dry powder snowfall creating the best skiing in America, and arguably experts consider the best skiing in the world. The valley receives only about 150" of snowfall, with about 20" to 30" snow coverage on the ground at any given winter day, creating a beautiful, bright, cheerful, and surreal winter scenery. Typically the snow falls in the evening and the days are bright and sunny, and with the low humidity and the strong high altitude sun, the winters are surprisingly comfortable with an average temperature of 24F to 28F. As a point of interest, Colorado College reported that due to climate change (Global Warming) Colorado and Utah will not be a viable ski resort designation by 2050. Colorado snowfall will be down 82%, Utah down 84%, New Mexico down 89%, Idaho down 61%, Montana down 34% and while Wyoming will only be down 26% making Jackson Hole even more sought after and in demand in the future. Please see the complete report "Climate Change effect on Ski Industry" in the documents section. This incredible, enchanting, and serene property was featured in Cowgirl Magazine, Mountain Living Magazine, Log Cabin Magazine, Self Magazine, and on HGTV as "one of the most beautiful log homes in Jackson Hole and the Rocky Mountain region". SUMMARY OF JACKSON HOLE REAL ESTATE MARKET The builder reported a "building cost of $15,400,000, including furnishings, land, landscaping, and improvements and a current replacement cost between $18,000,000 to $20,000,000 includes 15% builder profit". Sotheby's International Realty sold a home of similar size and scope in nearby vicinity for $19,000,000 this September, and another home of similar size and scope sold last year for $15,000,000. In the lows of the real estate market of 2008/2009, while this residence was under construction, two homes of similar size and scope sold for over $13,000,000 and $14,000,000 respectively. Currently there are several other nearby 10,000 +/- square foot log homes on the market in Jackson Hole from $12,500,000 to $29,650,000, however none have the museum specimen quality log construction offered in Bighorn Lodge, all are older being built between 1991 to 2003, and none have unobstructed dramatic Grand Teton views. Currently the two most expensive properties on the market in Jackson Hole are priced at $175,000,000 (Jackson Hole Land and Cattle Ranch) and $100,000,000 (Walton Ranch). They are also the #1 and #2 most expensive properties currently on the market in all of U.S. The Bighorn Lodge had a great deal of interest this summer with two attractive and acceptable cash offers by prospective buyers, however for personal reasons (health and financial issues) on the part of the buyers they were not able to bring the sale to a close. A couple other buyers loved the property, but needed to be closer to another existing family home. Last year, there was a very attractive offer near the asking price but the buyer required seller financing which did not work for the seller. And in addition there were two lower cash offers which the seller did not accept. Bighorn Lodge is an ideal family home, vacation or corporate retreat for those who value privacy, luxury, and a sporting life in the heart of an outdoorsman's paradise. Minutes from world class alpine skiing, fishing, hunting, rafting, hiking, horseback riding, biking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, wildlife viewing and snowmobiling, this beautiful home has views that will never change, and its surroundings will remain wild forever. Please visit a home tour of Bighorn Lodge at the following video link... http://www.circumerrovideo.com/client/spackmans_bronko/big_horn_lodge/ In summary, Bighorn Lodge awaits an owner who desires an extraordinary mountain residence that is without compromise or equal on an irreplaceable lot in one of the most beautiful, enchanting, and extraordinary places on Earth. There will always be beautiful homes in Jackson Hole, but perhaps none more so than Bighorn Lodge. Please find the following in the "Documents" section...

The team at Concierge Auctions and Doug Milne (Kelly Associates) were exceedingly professional – an aggressive group of individuals who in many ways reminded me of my days on Wall Street. The auction process attracted interest, generated competition and created a market. It was a thrilling experience, and I firmly believe the future of luxury home sales will be increasingly weighted towards the Concierge Auctions methodology. ~ Andrew Osinski - Seller, Cover House | Darien, CT
We were very pleased with the professionalism of the Concierge Auctions team. Through their process we were able to identify a qualified buyer who is excited to become a resident of our fine community. ~ Lisa Richards - President, Isleworth Realty, a Christie's Great Estates affiliate | Windermere, FL
We look forward to hearing about another outstanding opportunity to buy a Concierge Auctions home from your fine company at an incomparable price. We will follow your website and tell our friends about our very positive experience today. We had a great time today, and I have told Anne several times... we should have been the final bidder on that home! ~ Elliot Oaklander - Second Highest Bidder, 9815 Laurel Valley Drive | Windermere, FL
My experience with the Concierge Auctions Team was top notch at every level. From the delivery of the auction sales materials, to the auction itself, and to the follow up for my client who bought during the auction, the attention to detail and client satisfaction was impeccable. I would recommend them to any Seller in this challenging market as well as Buyers looking for great opportunities. ~ Jim Allison - Coldwell Banker Maryl Realty | Kona, HI
Concierge Auctions is predicated upon innovation. Amidst today’s economic climate, diversification in your marketing techniques is paramount to success. For select listings, the activity generated by Concierge may be the best option to obtain the highest net value. I endorse Concierge’s services, particularly for unique and ultra-luxury properties. ~ George Ballantyne - Concierge Auctions’ Sotheby’s International Realty® liason
My experience with Concierge was satisfactory to say the least. Times were extremely difficult in the real estate market when through Sotheby’s International Realty and Richard Lewis we were directed to Concierge. They are tireless and professional, and while we all would have preferred a higher price, I’m certain they came close to maximizing the effort and therefore the results. ~ Peter F. Shields - Seller, The Rockin' S Ranch | Teton Valley, ID
This was a first for us – bidding on a house at auction. My husband and I had lots of questions, and Stuart Mattison gave us all the time and information we needed. On auction day, Stuart was right there, often by my side, giving me the support and assistance I needed to secure the house of our dreams. We want to thank Stuart and his associates for one of life’s memorable moments. ~ Donna O'Connell - Buyer, 72-3205 Punaloa Place | Kona, Hawaii
I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Concierge Auctions exposed the property to a global audience of qualified buyers and accomplished my objective of selling in an accelerated period of time amidst a very challenging market. It is especially gratifying that they were able to find new owners who will make this wonderful community their home. ~ Kelly Burt - Seller, 7 White Water Lane | Dana Point, CA
Felicity Farm was previously listed for over two years, and although it had received significant exposure on the market, a suitable offer had not been received. The Concierge Auctions method activates the marketplace by setting a date that the property will sell and forcing buyers to act. I will definitely recommend Concierge Auctions to other clients and look forward to working with them again. ~ Debbie McCabe - Prudential Fox & Roach Realtors | Wayne, PA
The Concierge Auctions process generated a tremendous response. We had more interested buyers through the property than had visited in the entire 26 months of it being listed previously through traditional brokerage efforts alone. We are pleased with the result and excited that Felicity Farm will be enjoyed by its new owners for years to come. ~ Chris Robbins - Seller, Felicity Farm | Wawa, PA
We were impressed by Concierge Auctions' effective communication of the property's historical attributes to the marketplace. The company's widespread yet precisely-controlled outreach efforts positioned the property on a platform similar to a one-of-a-kind antique or art masterpiece. We appreciated the amount of identified buyers who were educated on the opportunity. ~ Jack Biddle - Second Highest Bidder, Historic Tulip Hill | Harwood, MD
The auction generated more activity in six weeks than this property had seen in the past three years. To witness eight, active bidders competing ‘live,’ when 62 other Whitefish Lake residential properties are on the market, was a testament to the power of Concierge Auctions format. ~ Pat Donovan - Glacier Sotheby's International Realty | Whitefish, MT
You had wonderful press throughout the sale of Fawn Hill Farm. Your partners are very well versed and I was in awe of their methodology. Again, many thanks for all your help and expertise. We were impressed by Concierge Auctions' unique understanding of the significance of Fawn Hill and by its effective communication of the property's historical attributes to the marketplace. ~ Mary Horn - Weichert Realtors | New Vernon, NJ
The Concierge Auctions sales and marketing outreach efforts were phenomenal, and their team was a pleasure to work alongside. Our combined efforts generated over 80 showings in four weeks, which is a significant accomplishment considering that 54 other comparable homes are currently on the market in Weston. I would certainly recommend Concierge Auctions. ~ Patrice Schramm - Prudential CT Realty | Weston, CT
The Sotheby’s International Realty® brand is pleased to have Concierge Auctions serve as a preferred provider of luxury real estate auction services to our brokers nationwide. The Concierge platform, when coupled with the global reach of our network, is a powerful resource to accelerate the sale of unique, one-of-a-kind properties, particularly when the pool of potential buyers is small. ~ Philip White - President & COO, Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC
I am thankful to the Concierge Auctions team for their diligent and expert work. The widespread auction exposure and corresponding buyer interest was undeniable, generating 10 times the activity in 30 days than the property had experienced in the prior 18 months. ~ David White - Seller, 50 Spring Creek Place | Vail Valley, CO
I was blown away by the interest that Concierge Auctions attracted. Although the prior, traditional advertising efforts were widespread, buyers were reluctant to step forward with offers. By setting a deadline, the Concierge platform allowed me to turn the tables around, and bidders were forced to compete for the right to own in Mali’e Wai. It was great to witness such strong buyer activity again. ~ Jeff Smith - Seller, Mali'e Wai | Kauai, HI
After marketing the property for over 18 months, it was difficult to attract sufficient buyer interest until we engaged Concierge Auctions. The Concierge platform brought real buyers to the table, including CEOs, accomplished entrepreneurs, real estate developers and many other highly-qualified individuals, resulting in the highest-priced sale in Jackson Hole in the past year. ~ Richard Lewis - Jackson Hole Sotheby's International Realty | Jackson, WY
The five properties of Mali’e Wai had been on the market for 16 months, and although we exposed this listing with traditional marketing, we had not generated significant interest. After partnering with Concierge Auctions the properties had 60 showings in five weeks. To have 30 qualified showings in only five weeks and six bidders is outstanding. The power of the auction platform is undeniable. ~ Neal Norman - Koa Properties | Kauai, HI
In addition to our status as a preferred provider of auction services to Sotheby's International Realty, we are pleased to have partnered with other luxury brokerage firms and market experts nationwide.
