Teton Headwaters Ranch is a rare opportunity to own 425± contiguous acres in the heart of Idaho’s Teton Valley. Familyowned for 30 years, this property offers a legacy of stewardship in a setting that feels worlds away yet sits just two miles from the mountain town of Driggs.
Flowing directly through the property, Teton Creek is a clear, cold-water fishery that supports brook, brown, rainbow, and Yellowstone cutthroat trout, along with mountain whitefish. Its winding course also draws migrating waterfowl and sustains healthy riparian habitat, creating an irresistible draw for moose and whitetail deer. For the sportsman, the ranch offers on-site, high-quality hunting and fishing in an environment that feels truly private.
Surrounding lands are protected by conservation easements, ensuring a natural buffer that will safeguard the property’s open space, wildlife habitat, and stunning views of the Tetons for generations to come. The result is just minutes to town and four-season recreation, with the peace of total seclusion.
While best known for its recreational attributes, Teton Headwaters Ranch also functions as a capable agricultural holding. The property is perimeter and section fenced and currently supports seasonal cattle grazing. Lush meadows yield a single annual hay cutting, averaging approximately four tons per acre, all nourished by exceptional water rights. This balance of beauty and productivity gives the ranch both immediate utility and long-term value.
With the nearby Grand Targhee Resort poised for future expansion and Teton County experiencing steady growth in property values and demand, the ranch sits in a region with both lasting appeal and strategic investment potential. Whether envisioned as a private fishing retreat, a working cattle operation, or a generational investment anchored in conservation, Teton Headwaters Ranch stands as one of Teton Valley’s most desirable offerings.

Driggs, for whom the town is named, a community leader and merchant whose family helped establish schools, churches, and the agricultural backbone that still defines the valley today.
