Five miles from Jackson's iconic downtown and a good cup of coffee, this property's driveway drops into a 65-acre refuge, where a first-class spring creek weaves through six ponds and incomparably beautiful open land. From the back deck, the sounds of nature replace the hum of a vibrant mountain community. Circled by uninterrupted alpine views and conservation land, Cody Creek Sanctuary is home to an elk herd, bald eagles, blue herons and trumpeter swans, as well as magnificent waterways brimming with native cutthroat trout. For years, romantics chose properties in the middle of nowhere for adventure and the therapeutic benefits of living outside. This sanctuary, suited for the modern pioneer who wants it all, is like a mini national park—in the middle of everywhere.
