Jackson Hole, Wyoming’s ‘Aspensong’ Is Worth Every Penny of the $18M Price Tag

Published: September 8, 2016 | By: American Luxury Staff

With its nearly all-glass exterior and low-lying profile, Aspensong—a 7,300-square-foot contemporary estate in Jackson Hole, Wyoming—looks like something the famed architect Philip Johnson would have dreamed up. Rather, it’s where bucolic beauty and ultra-modern craftsmanship meet, a testament to the surrounding beauty of the Jackson Hole valley and the Teton mountains, with a design aesthetic designed to maximize the views.

The views are about the only maximalist thing about this house. The rest is all clean lines and pared-down minimalism: stacked-stone walls, polished rooflines, those stunning floor-to-ceiling sliding glass walls that reveal impressive panoramic views (including a northward view of the Grand Teton), and a floating white oak-clad ceiling mimicked by exterior overhangs. The residence is split into two wings, bridged by a central living space. The north wing consists of a guest suite, a master suite, and a conservatory, while the west wing contains two guest suites and a media room.

This is less a house than it is an architectural essay in minimal structure and geometry. And of course, due to the location, it has access to scenic hiking and cross-country ski trails, Blue-Ribbon streams for great fishing, and no shortage of wildlife sightings. But we guess there’s one other maximalist aspect to this house: its price, which is currently set at $18 million.
