Step into a piece of Jackson Hole's history with this remarkable 120-acre property, available for the first time in 128 years. Originally homesteaded by early pioneers Sylvester and Mary Wilson, this land is rich in heritage and offers an unparalleled opportunity for the discerning buyer.
In November 1889, Sylvester and Mary, alongside Nick Wilson and their party, spent two arduous weeks cutting trees and building a rudimentary trail to descend the modern-day Teton Pass. Their arrival in what is now Wilson, WY, doubled the population of the area, which was only 28 people at the time.
This property is part of their original homestead, divided now into three deeded properties of 40 acres. The South Park parcels boast significant historical landmarks, including the remains of Jackson Hole's first schoolhouse built in 1895, which served the community until 1907.
This iconic property remains in the family to this day and is used for cattle grazing and hay production, preserving its rich agricultural legacy. The property features stunning, unobstructed views of the majestic Teton Range, making it an ideal location for multiple home sites. A seasonal irrigation ditch runs through the property, enhancing its agricultural potential and adding to its natural beauty.
Located just a 10-minute drive from the Town Square, this unique property offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an iconic piece of Jackson Hole's history.
