The Teton Valley is nestled between the Rocky Mountains of Idaho and Wyoming. Located only 15 miles from the Grand Targhee Resort and Jackson Hole, downhill skiing is one of the premier activities in the area.
Driggs, Idaho is a tranquil place, full of hope and surrounded in beauty. The Teton Valley is where many of our first settlers lived and where the Northern Shoshone Indians resided. The Indians flourished in this majestic place filled with wildlife and landscapes that where homes to countless variety of animals. This magical place is where tranquility meets its match with solitude. This is a place where you are given the benefits of being in a big city but taken away from the hustle and bustle that clouds our minds. This is Huntsman Springs. It’s a different kind of community, designed to fit every family’s needs and to reconnect with themselves through nature.
Golf is also a popular option for activities to do while living here. Famous golf architect David McLay Kidd has designed the Huntsman Springs golf course. He created something that was focused on all different skill levels and incorporated the natural surroundings in all of the greens and fairways. It most recently won 2014 Best Residential Golf Course in world-renowned Golf Week Magazine.
If you’re like me and relaxation is what you’re after, then the newly opened Springs Wellness Center & Spa has everything you need. The mission statement says it all: “To support the health and well-being of the members and guests at Huntsman Springs by providing programs and services that rejuvenate, re-inspire, and re-energize their mind, body, and spirit.”
The wellness concierge services include many luxurious spa options and state of the art fitness trends. The Mountain Body Polish is one such option. It is fashioned from sea salt from the Dead Sea and Great Salt Lakes mixed with jojoba & vitamin E.

The fitness center is equipped with the latest in gym equipment. It offers unique classes that fit the mountain living feel. The classes include anything from advanced boot camp classes that incorporate the outdoors to peaceful Pilates.
Honestly this might seem like any other luxury community; however, the best part is what it stands for and how its residents help those in need of a cure. In 1995, Jon and Karen Huntsman founded the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah. The Institute is now one of America’s major cancer centers dedicated to finding a cure. They recently announced a $100 million expansion that will double the laboratory space and create the Primary Children’s and Families’ Cancer Research Center, which will focus exclusively on inherited and childhood cancers.
Profits from Huntsman Springs Real Estate will be contributed to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. What a gratifying experience it is to be able to help find a cure for cancer by simply living in one of the most extraordinary places in America.
