One of the most coveted markets in Teton Valley
Alta, WY is one of the most coveted real estate markets in Teton Valley. Though it is actually in Wyoming, east of the state line, it is only accessed through Driggs, Idaho. Alta is comprised of only about 12.5 square miles, not including Grand Targhee, and is surrounded by National Forest to the north, east and south.
You will not find much real estate here; there simply is not much available. Commercial services are limited to a small school, church, library, the famous Teton Teepee lodge and the Targhee Village golf course.
The three areas of Alta
Alta is small enough to cover in a few minutes, but the terrain splits it cleanly into three.
Ski Hill Road
Continues from Idaho across the state line and through the centre of Alta on its way to Grand Targhee. Along this short two mile stretch you find a small school, church, library and park, plus the famous old Teepee Lodge. Because Alta sits so close to the Teton range, Teton views are rare here, but they can be found directly up the canyon along this route, and those properties offer some of the most spectacular up-close views of the range anywhere in the valley.
Communities: Targhee Towne, Altamont, Les Trappeurs, Alta Meadows, Table Rock Ranch.
North Alta
Interesting terrain. Immediately north of Ski Hill Road, State Line Road and Alta North Road run parallel to one another and access several communities. The far north of Alta must be reached back through Driggs, north along Highway 33, then east into Wyoming to a few parcels surrounded by BLM and Forest Service land. The most notable subdivision there is Forest Edge, heavily wooded, remote and private.
Communities: Yellow Rose Ranch, Lochen Fen, Bustle Creek, F.G.M.M. Acres, Forest Edge.
South Alta
Limited to a few communities surrounded by large farm parcels. On the Idaho border, just inside the Wyoming line, Spring Creek Farms holds large parcels from 2.5 to over 10 acres. Just east along Perimeter Drive is the quaint Targhee Village nine-hole golf course. This is no typical golf community: surrounded by 25 lots, it offers views across the valley with nine parcels bordering BLM to the south and east.
Communities: Spring Creek Farms, Targhee Village.
