Rooted in rich Sun Valley history, The Elkhorn Estate is an entertainer’s dream home with an innovative blend of mountain elegance and metropolitan flair, unique design elements and inspired functionality, and the high-end amenities of a boutique hotel. Take a tour with us!
Rich History & Legacy of Legends
You’re welcomed into a grand entryway with four modern guest bedrooms to the right, the elevator and Elkhorn Estate Heritage Hall ahead, and a massive great room to the left, designed and appointed with your vacation downtime and entertainment in mind. Pause for a moment to appreciate this home’s legacy of legends and deep roots in local history. The interior stairway railings are hand-carved by world-famous sculptor Larry Lefner. The Heritage Hall depicts the history of The Elkhorn Estate from its original ownership by the Sun Valley DuPont family, through its chapter with actress Brooke Shields, and on to the complete restoration and renovation by the current owners.
The stunning open great room is centered around a 30-foot “Stubby-stone” rock wall and wood-burning fireplace, the work of legendary downhill skier Picabo Street’s father and brother, Stubby and Bubba Street. Aside from being surrounded by full walls of windows boasting breathtaking views of Sun Valley’s iconic Bald Mountain, your eyes are drawn to the exposed wooden beams above, salvaged locally from the historic Triumph Mine.
Luxury Estate Living
There’s plenty of space to settle in for a luxury stay and this exclusive Sun Valley home features extensive AV equipment with 11 state-of-the-art TVs, PlayStation and Xbox gaming systems, and Sonos speakers throughout to set the tone for your Sun Valley escape.
In the great room, sofas surround the crackling wood fireplace, a cozy separate seating nook is perfect for movie night, the custom table and bar counter seat all your guests (with the best dining views in Sun Valley!), and the dual gourmet kitchens are every chef’s dream!
The Elkhorn Estate boasts a spacious open kitchen and secondary butler’s kitchen complete with a 48” gas range, triple ovens, warming drawer, dual dishwashers, dual refrigerators, wine refrigerator, commercial ice maker, coffee and espresso machines, a breakfast nook, bar seating for ten, and breathtaking Baldy views. Everything you need and could imagine!
Attached to the great room lies 2,000 square feet of outdoor patio space with a large dining table and BBQ grill for summer alfresco dining, a fire circle, an outdoor hot tub, and ample seating to soak up the panoramic views of Baldy, the Sawtooth Mountains, and the beautiful Boulder Peaks. This home is exceptionally equipped for indoor and outdoor entertaining, and boasts four seasons of epic outdoor adventures on your doorstep! For the ultimate culinary experience, Chef Andrew Dunning is available for private events.
