A house perfect for an avid golfer has hit the market in Jackson Hole for $9.95 million.
Designed by architect Stephen Dynia, whose designs are sought after for residential and commercial buildings all over the Jackson Hole area, the home is located inside the gates of the Snake River Sporting Club.
It also is a place NFL Hall-of-Fame quarterback Peyton Manning is known to have frequented, said listing agent Kelsey Spaulding, an associate broker with Keller Williams Jackson Hole.
The golfing lifestyle has become a growing real estate trend in Wyoming and across America, and the Ranch Estates property would be one way to go all-in.
The three-bedroom, four-bath, 3,698-square-foot house sits on 35 acres with killer views looking out on the Snake River and nearby Wolf Mountain.
The property also includes a 1,354-square-foot “toy” barn with room enough for three cars or, if preferred, RVs, ATVs, golf carts, boats and bikes instead.
Members of the Snake River Sporting Club are apt to drop more than a few celebrity names who favor this exclusive, high-end club.
For one, there’s Tom Weiskopf, the renowned American golfer who designed the club’s golf course. Weiskopf won 16 PGA Tour titles, including the 1973 British Open.
While he has designed many stunning golf courses in several countries like Scotland, South Africa and the Caribbean, he always claimed that the Snake River Sporting Club was his favorite.
There’s also Lyle Waggoner, an actor and comedian who was mentioned as a member of the club in a 2016 Second Shelters article. Several prominent figures also live in the surrounding area, including Harrison Ford, Sandra Bullock and Judge Judy Scheindlin.

A Killer View In Every Room
What makes this property “super special” is its elevation, Spaulding said.
“You really get complete, 360-degree views from the property,” she said. “And with that elevation, it has views of the Snake River.”
The home has been designed with that 360-degree view in mind. That means every room in this fully furnished, custom-built home has a postcard-worthy landscape to look at through large picture-frame windows.
“It’s a stunning home,” Spaulding said. “And they built it for themselves to live in full-time, year-round, so there’s nothing spec-built about it. It has walnut finishes throughout, and lots of triple-pane glass, imported from Germany.”
Everything is on a high-end Lutron lighting system and Sonos audio, Spaulding added, allowing comprehensive control over light and sound, as well as automated scheduling and integration with smart home devices.
There’s also a 24-zone irrigation system, automatic blinds, fiber optic internet and a generator.
The polished concrete floors have radiant heat, so they will never feel cold in the winter, and the home includes a humidifying system so that it never feels too dry.
The primary suite has windows that capture a panoramic view of Wolf Mountain and a nearby elk refuge. Throughout the seasons, it’s a serene but ever-changing scenic backdrop.
Dual walk-in closets and a dedicated laundry, plus a huge walk-in shower, complete the amenities for this high-end home.
While the home is ultra-private, it’s also been designed with entertaining in mind with a choice between a formal dining room that seats eight, or al fresco dining on the south patio, which also includes a cozy outdoor fireplace and hot tub.
The kitchen area includes a high-end kitchen and a butler’s pantry. There’s also a dedicated office space for those who want to work remotely.
The Immersive Outdoor Lifestyle, Plus Horses
It’s not just the golf lifestyle that buyers of the property at 13175 S. River Bend Road will find.
“This has lots of access to outdoor amenities,” Spaulding said. “And it has the ability to have horses.”
Membership to the Snake River Sporting Club, required to access the private golf course, costs $150,000 in initiation fees to join and another $23,000 in annual dues.
But those who are members are not just gaining access to the golf course. There’s also a simulator as well as pickleball and paddle tennis courts, and there’s a yoga and Pilates studio. There’s also an infinity pool and hot tub, fly-fishing, scenic floats, horseback riding, kayaking, skeet shooting, hiking, snowshoeing and more.
“There’s almost 7 miles of the Snake River, which is deemed one of the best sections during the (Jackson Hole) One Fly,” Spaulding said. “So, there’s just the unique opportunity here where the homeowners can put their fly rods on their bikes and go down and wade fish on the property.
“You can do scenic floats right from the Astoria bridge to South Park there, and you’re so close by. That makes this a really unique club environment.”
It’s a total package for fans of an immersive outdoor lifestyle in so many ways, and that’s one of Spaulding’s favorite things about the property.
“If you just walk to the edge of the fence line and go through the gate there on the bench line, there’s this concrete patio overlooking the Snake River,” Spaulding said. They have a seating area set up on that.”
