The Serengeti Home

The name ‘Serengeti’ comes from the Maasai language and appropriately means an ‘extended place’. As enduring as the game viewing is the liberating sense of space that characterizes the Serengeti of Jackson, in the back yard of this contemporary western home, stretches across a shimmering gold and green horizon at what seems like the end of the earth. Yet, as fall turns to winter and then to spring, this golden expanse of grasslands is transformed into an endless green carpet of wild grasses flecked with wildflowers. The expansive open space, ponds, creeks, streams and rivers filled with trout and lined with evergreens, aspens and cottonwood are home to a large number of wild life with an extraordinary view of the Teton Range.Privately nestled within this sanctuary is a new residence designed by Bay Area architect Lorissa Kimm and is a fresh, contemporary and innovated home paying tribute to its surroundings.The Serengeti home is nearly 7000 square feet with four bedrooms, 4 andfrac12; baths, wine cellar, catering pantry, office, tv room, gym, great room, entertaining kitchen. Significant care was taken with material choices including Iroko hardwood floors thoughout, African mahogany cabinets and doors, Montana select stone, and brilliant lighting details. There is no element overlooked in this exquisite Mountain Contemporary.Located south of the town of Wilson, just minutes down Fall Creek Road, this 6.7 acres in Teal Trace offers expansive mountain and sweeping open space views, access to private spring creek fishing and the Snake River, and the privacy enjoyed from end of the road solitude.
