Not Just Another Mountain Town

Why Teton Valley Idaho is a hidden jewel in the Gem State

Positioned on the western side at the foot of the Teton Range, Teton Valley Idaho represents not one, but four superb mountain towns nestled in the midst of a steadfast rural, agricultural and ranching community.

At the northern end of the Valley lies the City of Tetonia, ID population 247 (2000 census). At the center of the Valley lies the City of Driggs, ID population 1,100 (2000 census). At the eastern edge of the Valley lies the Town of Alta, WY population 400 (2000 census). At the southern end of the Valley lies the City of Victor, ID population 840 (2000 census).

Each location offers a its own diverse flavor of mountain town living, centered around the principal theme – “…go outside and play…”

As you commute to your job during the week, or commute to your favorite park to play on the weekend, consider these Teton Valley facts;

1-2 minutes drive to: World Class Fly Fishing; Cross Country Skiing;
15-30 minutes drive to: Grand Targhee Resort; championship Golf; Hiking, Mountain Biking
15-45 minutes drive to: Upland Game + Bird Hunting;
30-45 minutes drive to: Jackson Hole WY; Grand Teton National Park;
90-120 minutes drive to: Yellowstone National Park

Ever considered shifting gears during your commute? National Geographic has. In April 2009, National Geographic announced that Driggs, ID would be the home of the first Geotourism Center in the US. Teton Valley lies within the Greater Yellowstone Region, and its selection as a center for sustainable tourism reinforces the beauty and significance of this region.

Confused? Here’s a simple explanation of Geotourism provided by National Geographic.

“Geotourism is the kind of travel that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place — its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents.”

Teton Valley Idaho is evolving from a once predominantly rural/ag./ranch community into one that includes recreation based tourism. This transition has brought both public and private development projects.

Private development tends to garner ample media coverage, and Teton Valley’s growth has generated its fair share of News through large scale projects including the Grand Targhee Expansion; Huntsman Springs; Teton Springs; Teton Reserve; Teton Saddleback Vistas, among many others. Each of these projects reflect different phases of the development cycle, some are complete pending construction of homes on previously sold lots; some are being completed in phases; others are yet to break ground.

Public development has gained momentum over recent months and threatens to rival the pace of the private folks. Idaho Transportation Department’s investment in Scenic Byways during 2009 will work in parallel with National Geographic through the construction of the new Geotourism Center; Urban Renewal funds will see streetscape improvements constructed in Driggs; Teton Basin Ice + Recreation will soon commence construction on the new Ice Arena in Victor as soon as Steel is delivered, whilst the new Transit Facility will be constructed alongside the Ice Arena this summer.

Forward planning continues in Victor with the work of Envision Victor, an organization created following the receipt of a $100,000 grant from the Orton Family Foundation to guide the Community through a detailed planning process

“Envision Victor seeks to implement a new kind of planning in our City, a process that is focused on engaging our citizens, bridging our divisions, and honoring our shared values, in order to realize a vibrant and enduring Victor for years to come. The first phase of the project will last two years, but we hope it will continue well beyond.

The Goals and Objectives of Envision Victor are summarized as;
• Engage and connect all segments of the Victor community
• Describe and articulate the City’s Heart and Soul
• Enhance a sense of belonging
• Enact a new model of planning and decision making
• Develop a land use plan that incorporates visions and values of its citizens
• Strengthen the ability of the Citizens to integrate the ideas of the Citizens into tangible products such as transportation, capital improvements and main street plans

Construction will commence in mid July 2009 on a Bike Park in Victor. An initiative of non-profit Victor Velo, City of Victor has approved development of a bike park within the boundaries of Pioneer Park. An in‐town bike park is designed to pack as much fun as possible into a small space while teaching the youth of Victor Idaho about the lifetime sport of cycling. Victor Velo will begin the construction of a pump track & set of dirt jumps as the next step towards a multi‐discipline cycling facility unique to Southeast Idaho. A pump track is a cycling feature that looks similar to a skate board park, but made of dirt, and is designed to accommodate cyclists of all ages and skill levels.”

With so much activity on the horizon in an otherwise dark economic environment, it is imperative that growth Teton Valley is managed with the degree of stewardship deserving of the Greater Yellowstone Geotourism region.

With its many wildlife corridors and unspoiled vast wilderness areas, this delicate ecosystem, combined with unparalleled recreation has been seeking a way to harmonize with one another. Recent changes in City and County Planning Ordinances has cast a might tighter net across growth and will result in more intensive scrutiny of development proposed in designated wildlife corridors and wetland areas, potentially making development in those areas difficult and costly.

NAI Commerce One / Jackson Hole Offers PowerSale Accelerated Marketing Program

PRINCETON, NJ, March 9, 2009 – NAI Commerce One / Jackson Hole announced it is participating in the Commercial Property PowerSale™, an Accelerated Marketing Program created by NAI Global to help property owners and financial institutions dispose of troubled real estate needs.

NAI Global is the premier managed network of commercial real estate firms and one of the largest real estate services providers worldwide. NAI Commerce One / Jackson Hole is the exclusive NAI member firm in Jackson Hole + Teton Valley markets.

“The global economic slowdown and frozen credit markets have caused a major disruption in the traditional property sales market, and we are working closely with our clients to find the right marketing solution for their properties,” said Steven Keim of NAI Commerce One / Jackson Hole. “NAI’s accelerated marketing program is a boon for clients who need to sell an asset or portfolio, but are having difficulty in today’s economy.”

The Commercial Property PowerSale™ employs a variety of accelerated marketing techniques that have proven effective in previous economic cycles when traditional sales channels are gridlocked. Property owners will have the option of offering their property for sale via a series of live online auctions, sealed bids or a unique combination of the two formats. Properties in the Commercial Property PowerSale™ benefit from an aggressive marketing campaign that includes focused print, broadcast and electronic advertising, and a direct-to-buyer outreach to more than 175,000 active buyers. Sellers are assured a shortened sales process and a date certain sale schedule. The three program options – Auction Marketing, Sealed-Bid and Sealed-Bid Plus™ – set up a competitive bidding environment that creates urgency, forcing buyers to act immediately.

“The Accelerated Marketing Program is designed to meet the demands of our clients – property owners and financial institutions – with troubled assets, as well as sellers with healthy properties that are having trouble finding a buyer in today’s market,” said Finn. “Together with our longtime partner, Higgenbotham Auctioneers International, we have successfully completed more than $2.3 billion in sales through accelerated marketing programs. We are able to leverage our knowledge and relationships with the most active buyers at any given time to help our clients achieve the best possible value for their asset, despite the current economic climate.”

The program is open to both private and institutional owners and will include the sale of both commercial real estate equity and loans. Sellers may submit an individual asset or an entire portfolio, and property types will include everything from office, industrial, retail, hospitality and multifamily properties, to residential subdivisions and land for development. Both performing and non-performing commercial real estate loans may also be offered for sale. The NAI team will evaluate each property and guide the seller through the program process, helping them to choose the sales vehicle that best suits their needs.

The May 1st PowerSale includes over 50 properties totaling $150 million in value. NAI Commerce One is working with Windermere Real Estate and the Grand Teton Team in offering two properties in Teton Valley, Idaho. Click here for more information.
