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.
Located in Teton Valley’s scenic north end, and just 15 minutes from the thriving resort town of Driggs, the Three Peaks Ranch boasts some of the best full-range Teton views in the area. The property is comprised of 317± deeded acres, with 260± acres being grassland pasture and 100± acres of which are flood irrigated. The balance of the acreage consists of 0.8± miles of cottonwood and willow-lined Badger Creek, along with a small year-round spring. From the ranch, you will enjoy unobstructed views of the majestic Teton Mountains to the east and the Big Hole Mountains to the west. Access to the ranch is via two separate year-round maintained county roads, one along the ranch’s northern boundary and one along the south boundary.
Although historically run as a seasonal cattle operation, the ranch provides exceptional habitat and forage for area deer and elk populations, which utilize the Badger Creek drainage as they make their way to their winter range. Deer and moose can be found on the ranch throughout the year. The abundance of cultivated farmlands adjacent to the ranch will also attract native sharp-tailed grouse, as well as Hungarian partridge. While Badger Creek is seasonal on the ranch, the Teton River is located just minutes away. A true recreational gem, the Teton is a freestone river originating at the south end of Teton Valley, made up primarily of spring creeks at its source while picking up various mountain streams along its course as it makes its way west to its confluence with the world-famous Henry’s Fork River.
Three Peaks Ranch is located in Felt, just 13 miles north of the charming mountain town of Driggs, Idaho. Conveniently nearby is the Driggs-Reed Memorial Airport, a full-service Fixed Based Operator (FBO) featuring a 7,300’x100’ paved runway. Grand Targhee Summer and Ski Resort is also located in Teton Valley. Renowned for its consistent deep powder skiing and some of the best mountain biking trail systems in the West, Grand Targhee Resort is just 22 miles from the ranch. Jackson Hole and its commercial airport and extensive resort amenities lie about 45 miles from the ranch. Idaho Falls, which offers more city amenities and another commercial airport option, is just over an hour from the ranch.
In addition to the recreational activities found on the ranch and in the valley, the Three Peaks Ranch serves as a gateway to two of the country’s most visited national parks. Known for their sheer beauty, incredible mountain views and prolific wildlife, Grand Teton National Park is 50 miles from the ranch while Yellowstone’s west entrance is 80 miles away.
