Concierge Auctions to Sell Riverfront Property With Historic Lodge Near Jackson Hole, Wyoming at Auction, With Bidding Ending August 13th

MORAN, Wyo., June 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Concierge Auctions is pleased to announce that the Rubber Snake Ranch, a luxury Rocky Mountain estate located just 35 miles north of Jackson Hole comprised of three distinct parcels of land including a 1930s historic lodge, will sell at auction. Bidding is currently underway at www.RubberSnakeAuction.com and will end with a live, on-site auction on August 13th. Originally listed for $6.85 million, the property will sell either as three separate parcels or in its entirety. The sale is being conducted in cooperation with Ryan Block, Managing Owner of RE/MAX Obsidian Real Estate.

"The Rubber Snake Ranch is one of the most premier ranch estates in the West, offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Creek, Teton National Forest and Bridger Teton Mountain Range," Block stated. "My client's commitment to selling on August 13th renders a tremendous opportunity for buyers. Anyone interested in purchasing a unique Rocky Mountain property should visit the auction website and begin placing their bids."

Rubber Snake Ranch offers an ideal blend of storied history and modern day amenities. Ideally located 35 miles north of Jackson Hole, the property sits on the banks of Pacific Creek upriver from the convergence of Pacific Creek and the Snake River, borders the Bridger Teton National Forest, and Teton Wilderness to the east. The parcels will be sold via bidding segments, or the final segment will include the purchase of the entire ranch.

Bidding Segment I: The Historic Lodge at 14865 Braman Road- The lodge is reminiscent of the Inn at Old Faithful, originally built by historic Jackson developers Jesse and John Wort, founders of the famed Wort Hotel and Cowboy Bar, on the banks of Jackson Lake in the 1930's. The structure was purchased and moved by the Western artist Bill Schenck to the current location in 1979. Over the years the lodge has been expanded and upgraded, but its western heritage has been maintained. The 4,469-square-foot structure includes four bedrooms, a sleeping loft, three baths, a large living area, family, dining, two fireplaces, granite counters, two outdoor entertaining areas, a separate guest cabin and an oversized two-car garage with shop.

Bidding Segment II: The River Cabin at 14885 Braman Road- The cabin offers the ultimate in mountain living including sweeping views of the Pacific Creek and the Bridger-Teton mountain range. Finishes include fir wood floors and cabinetry, granite counters, a river rock fireplace, and wood deck overlooking the creek. The cabin sleeps six people comfortably. The property also features a separate, spacious two-car garage and borders the rugged Teton National Forest.

Bidding Segment III: The River Lot- This 1.4-acre lot is adjacent to the River Cabin and sits directly on the river. It includes mature lodge pole pine, spruce trees and tremendous views and access to Pacific Creek and the Teton National Forest. The spot is primed for the construction of a new residence.

Bidding Segment IV: The Entire Rubber Snake Ranch

"Following our recent successful auctions of the Teton Valley Ranch in Jackson Hole, which marked the highest sale price in the area in the entire previous year, and the Rockin' S Ranch, which set a record price ever for a residential ranch in Teton Valley, Idaho, we're thrilled to be given the opportunity to sell another one of the Rocky Mountain West's historic properties," stated Laura Brady, Vice President of Marketing for Concierge Auctions. "Rubber Snake Ranch offers an ideal combination of outdoor recreation, natural beauty, and history. We look forward to finding its new owners."

Nestled into Grand Teton National Park with mountain ranges topping out at 13,766 feet, activities in Jackson Hole include world-class fly-fishing, hunting, boating, hiking, horseback riding, snowmobiling and skiing. The area's rich history is topped only by its stunning views, which capture nature's finest during four distinct seasons throughout the year. Jackson Hole is right at the southern doorstep to one of the nation's most beloved national parks, Yellowstone National Park, which was established in 1872. Communities now include Jackson, Moose and Teton Village, home to the world class Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. First open to the public in 1965, the ski resort, which lifts visitors to the top of the Bridger-Teton National Forest, is just one draw. In Jackson Hole's many communities, residents and visitors enjoy specialty shops and restaurants that incorporate the best of their beautiful natural setting. Teton County welcomes more than 3 million visitors to the area during busy summer months.

The auction of Rubber Snake Ranch is currently underway and will end with live, on-site bidding on August 13th. A 2.5% commission is offered to the buyer's broker.
