Star Valley Wyoming
Star Valley gives you the feel of the real ranching life. Following the roads and the irrigation ditches running alongside them, you’ll see crazing cows roam the fields and barbed wire fences that stretch between old log posts to keep them safe. Dotted throughout are historical large old ranches and newer ranches that represent the meaning of “home on the range”.
To the east of Star Valley are two mountain ranges with the Salt, Greys, and Wyoming River running through them. Living in Star Valley, you’ll have great opportunities to take advantage of outdoor hikes, fishing, kayaking, and wildlife viewing.
Star Valley includes the small towns of Alpine, Auburn, Bedford, Etna, Fairview, Freedom, Grover, Osmond, Smoot, Thayne, and Turnerville. Quite a selection for homebuyers considering Star Valley is only 10 miles wide and 40 miles across. Afton is the most populated area and offers more tourist attractions, like the Afton Tabernacle, Periodic Springs, and several museums, for those traveling from Jackson Hole. Not to be outdone by its neighbor, the town of Jackson, Afton constructed its own arch of antlers to welcome visitors and residents to Main Street. Standing 18-feet high and built with 3,011 elk antlers, it’s the tallest elk antler arch in the world. The Lincoln County Fair, Parade of Lights, Cutter Races, and a festive Independence Day celebration delight Star Valley residents and tourists every summer.
Star Valley is experiencing a building boom and as a result has become a hot real estate market in Wyoming. Buyers come here for an alternative to the expensive homes in the Jackson Hole real estate market. Star Valley is a great place for first time homebuyers to find an affordable home or veteran buyers looking for an affordable community that is still close to everything the Jackson Hole region has to offer.
