Description: This house is in the Ketchum-Sun Valley area, where the famed outdoors have drawn celebrities, such as Gary Cooper and Ernest Hemingway, and ordinary Americans, since the 1930s. It's a ski center but also boasts great fishing, riding, hiking and hunting.
The elevation, at more than a mile high, means the garden's season is brief, but it is bathed in mountain sunshine and the plants bloom profusely. This is a continually blooming garden that goes from daffodils and tulips in the spring to daisies in the summer to chrysanthemums in the fall. There are also thick ground covers, lawns, shrubs, and shade and flowering trees. The lot, at an acre-and-a-half, is big enough to keep horses, but it's only a couple miles from town.
Inside is a combination of country-home elegance and rusticity. There's a fireplace, rough-sawn hickory floors, Silestone engineered-stone countertops and top-of-the-line appliances.
