Jackson Hole has a long, colorful history as a frontier community surrounded by some of the most vast and spectacular natural lands on earth. Shooting Star has been sensitively designed to respect and enhance Jackson Hole’s vistas, wildlife habitat, open landscapes, and traditional culture of working cattle ranches.

The story of Shooting Star is intricately tied to Jackson Hole’s culture and natural setting. Carefully planned by a family that has operated one of the valley’s largest working ranches for generations, Shooting Star takes its name from the West’s brilliant night skies, often captured in the nocturnes of Frederic Remington and Frank Tenney Johnson.

Many of today’s corporate resorts try to create “instant” places. In Jackson Hole, a rich history of Native Americans, trappers, outlaws, ranchers, and conservationists endures in an authentic Western community. Jackson Hole has fiercely retained its smalltown Western values while evolving into a world-class resort that attracts business and political leaders. Since the frontier era, many people settling in Jackson Hole have embraced and sustained these values. Supported by long-time residents and newcomers alike, organizations like the Jackson Hole Land Trust and the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole have contributed greatly to preserving local landscape and community character.

Working with some of the valley’s largest cattle ranches, the Land Trust has helped preserve the entire 1,800-acre Walton Ranch and parts of the Hansen Ranch and Snake River Ranch. All told, the Land Trust has permanently protected over 17,000 acres of land in and around Jackson Hole. Through its support of local organizations, the Community Foundation has helped make Jackson Hole the most philanthropic community in the U.S. on a per capita basis. Out of about 18,000 residents, nearly 2,000 participate in the Foundation’s annual fundraiser, which has raised more than $38 million for local nonprofits in the last eight years.

The Snake River Ranch was founded in 1929. Since then the ranch has grown while making conservation sales to Grand Teton National Park and preserving over 500 acres of land leading to Teton Village and the Park.

In 1999, this historic ranching operation was threatened when the state of Wyoming considered terminating the ranch’s lease on 640 acres and re-leasing it to a third party for golf development. The family sympathized with the state’s financial concerns, but believed the proposed golf course was poorly located in the middle of the ranch. The family believed that any golf course should be placed at the ranch’s northern edge closer to Teton Village.

Protecting Fish Creek was another concern. Just south of Teton Village, the headwaters of Fish Creek offer some of Jackson Hole’s best fly fishing. From here, the stream winds through the ranch for several miles. In the 1970s, the integrity and purity of Fish Creek was threatened. After the ranch and other downstream land-owners fought to protect Fish Creek, the state designated it a Class I trout stream.

Shooting Star was planned with mechanisms to complement Snake River Ranch as a working cattle ranch and with further enhancements to Fish Creek and its wildlife habitat.

Shooting Star is a planned residential community on a spectacular site with great views of three mountain ranges, four creeks, ten ponds, and one lake. The development is limited to 100 single-family lots, 34 hand-hewn cabins, and 48 townhouses. More than 75 percent of the lots adjoin creeks or ponds.

The most basic concept of the master plan for Shooting Star is that people will always be attracted to quality – whether it be a Tom Fazio core golf course, the incomparable skiing and snowboarding at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, a Class I trout stream, or 1800 acres of open space. To ensure that this quality endures, Shooting Star has developed architectural and landscape guidelines that allow for creative design while ensuring that each home complements the physical beauty and Western traditions of Jackson Hole.

The first phase of Shooting Star will include approximately 20 single family lots, many situated near the clubhouse. This phase will be followed by the release of 18 hand-hewn, three bedroom cabins designed by Paul Bertelli of JLF & Associates. JLF was founded by Jonathon Foote and is the unquestioned pioneer in the use of reclaimed materials and old-world craftsmanship. Their buildings convey a sense of history and respect for their natural environments.
