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.
The Hoopes Teton View Ranch is a very private 452± acre mountain retreat nestled under the north end of the Big Hole Mountains overlooking Idaho’s highly sought-after Teton River Valley. This highly diverse property features lush rolling meadows, quality dryland farm ground, timbered draws, and aspen groves. This location offers unobstructed full-range Teton Mountain views to the east. With national forest just a mile away, this area of the valley is comprised of largely undeveloped mountain ranches and significant agricultural operations. These ingredients provide the perfect habitat for a cross-section of native wildlife and big game species, including elk, deer, moose, and bears. The ranch is particularly appealing to some of the local elk herds, which can be found on site from spring through late fall when the first snowfalls start accumulating in the region. The privacy, abundant feed, and timber cover found throughout the ranch also provide great elk-calving habitat. In addition to the larger game species, the Hoopes Teton View Ranch offers great opportunities for the wing-shooting enthusiasts with healthy coveys of sharp-tailed grouse and Hungarian partridge throughout its rolling landscape, as well as ruffed grouse in the timbered draws and aspen groves.
The Hoopes Teton View Ranch is located just 20 miles from Driggs, home to Grand Targhee Summer & Ski Resort, and is 50 miles from Jackson Hole, one of the West’s most desirable resort destinations. The ranch serves as a well-positioned base camp for access to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, both of which are an easy day’s drive from the ranch – not to mention immediate access to a world-class destination resort in Grand Targhee and great fishing on the Teton and Henry’s Fork River systems that are literally on one’s doorstep. A blank canvas, the land features numerous building sites that offer both privacy and big mountain views across the valley. Hoopes Teton View Ranch is an intrinsically beautiful mountain retreat with big views that offers one an entry into the year-round resort destination of Driggs.
