If there's anything more magical than spending your days in the idyllic valleys and peaks of one of our covered ski towns, it's probably having waterfront property in that place on a road called Chocolate Gulch. Thankfully, this afternoon's lifting will satisfy those of our readers who dare to dream of such a life. This 4,600 square foot property a few miles past downtown Ketchum has five acres of South-facing lawn that descends from a dinner party-worthy back deck down to the quiet ebbs and flows of the Big Wood River. A number of other earthy amenities seek to satisfy any retiring-banker-cum-back-to-the-lander: a five-car garage with space for both your Chevy Tahoe and your Prius, a greenhouse, a hot tub, a backyard teepee that begs for summer slumber parties, and for all the equestrians out there, the place is mare-compatible.
That all leaves us real curious as to what's going on inside (other than five bedrooms and five baths), as we don't get a single interior shot to feed our musings of what that $2.6 million would get us...
