Originally from Colombia, South America, Carlos grew up in Chattanooga, TN, where he spent a great deal of his time exploring the outdoors and fishing the local streams and reservoirs, as well as the cold water trout streams of the Southern Appalachians and Great Smokey Mountains. Following his graduation from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a double major in Economics and Spanish, his passion for fishing, hunting and the great outdoors would later take him to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Carlos spent seven years guiding the trophy trout streams of the region, primarily the South Fork of the Snake and Teton rivers in Idaho, and the Snake River in Jackson, Wyoming. Looking to merge his passion for fishing and hunting into a long-term professional career, Carlos decided to get his real estate license and has been a farm and ranch focused broker in the Rocky Mountain West since 2004. He is licensed in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana.
Ranching heritage runs deep in Carlos’ family as he comes from a long line of Cebu cattle ranchers in Colombia, along with breeders and trainers of Colombian Paso Fino horses. Throughout his youth, he spent many summers on his uncles’ ranches building a great admiration and respect for the ranching and horseman lifestyle. This background, along with his passion for fishing, hunting and the outdoors, has made him a natural fit in this unique industry and has helped pave the way to many successful years as a ranch broker.
Carlos resides in the south end of Teton Valley in Victor, Idaho, with his wife Hilary, their three children, two bird dogs, and horses. He enjoys spending time in the outdoors with his family, floating down rivers, camping, and traveling abroad. Other passions include fly fishing, waterfowl and upland bird hunting, big game hunting, and riding horses.
Framed by the majestic Teton Mountain Range to the east, the 613± acre Badger Creek Canyon Ranch represents a truly unique offering in southeast Idaho’s coveted Teton Valley. Located at the north end of the valley, the ranch offers a diverse blend of rolling cropland set atop the tree-lined canyon rim with both sides of 2.5± miles of Badger Creek flowing through at the bottom. An excellent trout stream, this section of Badger Creek is unique in the sense that it is fed by large natural springs flowing out of the canyon walls, thus improving the habitat for the native Yellowstone cutthroat trout that call these waters home. Bordering public lands along its western and northern boundaries, the ranch provides excellent habitat for the area’s big game species, including elk and mule deer. The canyon serves as a critical migration corridor for big game as they head west in the late fall to their winter range along the Teton River Canyon and lower elevations. For the avid wing shooter, healthy numbers of native sharp-tailed grouse and Hungarian partridge can also be found on the ranch and adjacent public lands.
The Badger Creek Canyon Ranch sits on a peninsula with Bitch Creek along the northern boundary, Badger Creek along the south, and both streams joining the Teton River at the point of the peninsula to the west. All three fisheries are considered some of the best native Yellowstone cutthroat trout streams in the region. The charming resort town of Driggs is located just a short 25-minute drive from the ranch. Home to Grand Targhee Ski Resort located on the west slope of the Teton Mountain R, Driggs offers all the essential mountain town amenities, including restaurants, grocery stores, outdoor recreation shops and outfitters, farm and ranch stores, a hospital, and full-service FBO at Driggs-Reed Memorial Airport. Jackson Hole is located an hour from the ranch and is the gateway to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
With 2.5± miles of trophy trout water flowing through the ranch, diverse topography and landscapes, big game and upland bird hunting opportunities, the Badger Creek Canyon Ranch represents a blank canvas with an array of recreational attributes along with a small farming component in a highly desirable location.
