Six Top Reasons Buyers select Jackson Hole:
Through informal focus groups, we discovered that Upper-end Buyers select Jackson Hole for six main reasons:
1) Our public & private jetport – In today’s fast-paced world, convenience is essential. Upper-end Buyers demand efficient access and transportation to and from their vacation homes. With one of the most convenient private jet ports in terms of proximity, Jackson Hole stands out among other resort towns in the Rocky Mountain Region.
2) Access to Public Lands – hands down, Teton County has the highest and best access to the largest amount of public lands in the lower forty-eight. Thanks to Bureau of Land Management, National Forest, and National Park services, there are thousands of acres of wilderness to explore.
3) Privacy in the Hole – Jackson Hole differs from many destinations, like Aspen, Colorado, because it lacks the fanfare and celebrity-seeking cachet. Instead, Jackson Hole captures a laid-back spirit that attracts Upper-end Buyers seeking privacy, peace, and the opportunity to rejuvenate. Over the last fifteen years, developers created a large supply of inventory with the privacy-seeker in mind: high-end homes with fine finishes situated on large parcels of land (35+ acres). High-end Buyers delight in our market because they find a plentiful selection of premier homes and architectural styles with the privacy they crave.
4) First-class second home services – From landscaping and custom care-taking to professional cooking, second-home owners have an array of service providers to tend to their needs while they visit their Jackson Hole hideaways. Hiring these service providers allows them to enjoy more time unwinding with their families instead of dealing with the headaches and hassles often associated with owning a vacation residence.
5) Golfing in the Hole – From hiking to biking and fly-fishing to rafting, Jackson Hole offers summer visitors and residents a plethora of outdoor recreational options. A new recreational trend continues to emerge as Jackson Hole attracts more and more golf enthusiasts. With the recent completion of two new golf courses (Snake River Sporting Club and 3 Creeks) and the new Shooting Star golf course, at Teton Village, slated for later in 2007, Jackson Hole has been discovered by the golfing world as a serious contender for the ultimate Rocky Mountain golfing destination.
6) Wyoming’s tax-friendly status – Wyoming has no state income, corporate, or inheritance tax. When a Buyer with a high net-worth and annual income considers these financial benefits in conjunction with the other five factors listed above, their choice becomes clear: Jackson Hole is the ideal location for their Rocky Mountain retreat.
