Mountain recreation in the foothills at Star Valley Ranch
In Wyoming's rural cattle ranching region, Star Valley Ranch offers scenic golf courses and panoramic views in the foothills of a national forest. With a population of about 2,000 residents, this mountain valley community provides ample opportunities for outdoor recreation with winter sports, whitewater rafting and nature trails. "This whole area all backs up to the Bridger-Teton National Forest, so basically all of our properties have hiking trails at their back door by Grey's River," says Tiphany Gayhart, broker GRI at Real Estate of Star Valley, LLC. "I love Star Valley Ranch. It's more rural, and you know your neighbors more."

Custom homes in a grassland with valley views
In the elevated grassland prairies, homes sit on spacious lots with sparse evergreen trees. Star Valley Ranch features New Traditional, contemporary and cabin-style homes, most of which are from the 1990s. Custom cabin-style homes have modern architectural features like midcentury windows and sprawling layouts. Many New Traditional homes are in 21st-century subdivisions, such as Star Valley Ranch and Stewart Country Club Estates. Home prices range from about $300,000 to $1.35 million. Prices increase depending on its square footage, views and proximity to the golf courses. Manufactured homes are available in the Star Valley Ranch RV Park, ranging from $100,000 to $240,000. "A lot of people who lived in Jackson are getting priced out by property taxes, and they move to this area," Gayhart says. "We're limited on expansion space because we are surrounded by public land and three national forests."
Some homes in Star Valley Ranch have a moderate risk of potential flooding due to proximity to Cedar Creek. Wildfires are likely as well. The area also has worse air quality than nearly 60% of cities in Wyoming.
