The Legacy of Luxury in Sun Valley—and the Treasures Left Behind
Tucked among the soaring peaks of Idaho’s Wood River Valley, Sun Valley has long been more than a mountain escape. Since its golden age in the 1940s, this alpine enclave has quietly welcomed the world’s most discerning travelers—celebrities, titans of industry, and those who simply value beauty, privacy, and refinement.
Legends like Ernest Hemingway, Marilyn Monroe, and Clark Gable once walked these streets. Today, Sun Valley remains a discreet retreat for elite families and individuals who maintain stunning properties amid the aspen groves and riverfront meadows. These homes are often masterfully curated—filled with luxury furnishings, original artworks, and rare pieces sourced from across the globe.
