Description
A rare Bigwood River retreat just six miles north of Ketchum, this 1.8-acre compound delivers the classic ''Idaho summer camp'' experience with all the comforts of modern living. Tucked away on a private parcel at the end of Chocolate Gulch with no highway noise, the only soundtrack here is the river. The property centers on two modernized log cabins set in a park-like setting, native landscaping, and mature trees that frame direct frontage on the Bigwood River. From the backyard, a private path leads to the Chocolate Gulch trail, making hikes, runs, and mountain biking an effortless part of daily life. Along the river's edge, a natural beach creates an ideal spot for kids, dogs, fly-fishing and summer evenings by the water.
The main residence offers three bedrooms and 2.5 baths, blending log charm with thoughtful updates and an easy, open flow to the outdoors. A three-car garage with a workshop provides ample storage for vehicles, gear, and toys. The separate guest house features 1 bedroom plus an office, perfect for extended family, guests, or a private work-from-Idaho retreat.
Beyond the homes, the property lives like a true homestead, complete with a chicken coop and raised garden beds that invite a slower, more intentional lifestyle. With its river setting, trail access, and flexible layout for multi-generational use, this is a rare chance to own a private family compound that captures the best of Sun Valley's outdoor spirit.
