The Sawtooth Modern | Designer Build | Hot Tub | River Access

There are houses in Sun Valley… and then there are the ones you remember long after you've unpacked your bags. This thoughtfully crafted, architect-designed retreat sits near the base of the mountain in Ketchum's Warm Springs area, and feels equal parts modern alpine lodge, art gallery, and peaceful sanctuary in the trees. The moment you pull into the quiet cul-de-sac, the mountain rises behind the house like a private backdrop — the kind that makes you stop, stare, and decide you're absolutely taking your coffee on the patio tomorrow morning.

Step inside and you'll feel the shift immediately. Soft plaster walls, exposed beams, hand-finished textures, and sunlight pouring through oversized windows — it's calm, intentional, and beautifully understated. The great room is the heart of the home, opening into a chef's kitchen that feels straight out of a design magazine. Think custom wood cabinetry, artisanal tile, an island made for sharing charcuterie boards, and enough counter space for everyone who “just wants to help” with dinner.

Across the room, a sculptural central fireplace anchors the space — the cozy center of winter nights, ski stories, and slow mornings. The dining table sits beneath a statement chandelier and looks out toward the aspen grove, making every meal feel like a quiet moment in nature.

A lounge area extends off the great room, with warm natural light, plush textures, and low-slung, modern furniture that practically insists you curl up with a book. Beyond it, a private office offers a chic, quiet space for anyone who needs to work remotely — although with views like this, “working” starts to feel like a generous term.

The main-level primary suite feels like its own little spa wing: a king bed wrapped in warm wood, a sunlit ensuite with a walk-in shower and a soaking tub built for post-ski bliss. Upstairs, two more king bedrooms share a beautifully finished bathroom, both offering serene treetop views and the kind of stillness you only get in mountain towns after the lifts close.

Then there's the “Lazy Loft” at the top of the stairs — a softly lit hangout space that's basically a permission slip to slow down. Catnap? Journal? Sip wine and watch the sunlight shift? Yes, to all of it.
Past the loft is one of the best features of the home: a fully furnished ADU that can be locked off or integrated with the rest of the house. It's a designer suite all its own — with a stunning kitchen, living room, dining table for four, full bath, and another king bedroom. Whether you use it for grandparents, friends who want their own space, or just as extra prep space for a big holiday dinner, it's a game changer.

Outside, the property gives you that rare blend of privacy and proximity. A large yard, a backdrop of aspens, and direct access to the Big Wood River just steps away — a dream for fly fishers, cold-plunge enthusiasts, or anyone who likes to wander trails in the early morning. Downtown Ketchum and both Warm Springs and River Run ski lodges are only minutes away, making it effortless to bounce between skiing, dining, shopping, and relaxing at home.

With space for ten guests, California kings in every bedroom, a hot tub under the stars, and one of the most unique architectural designs on the rental market, this home delivers a high-end Sun Valley experience without ever feeling fussy. It's warm, it's comfortable, and it's the kind of place you'll look forward to coming home to after a day exploring the valley.
