80 W Broadway | PO BOX 4897,Born in the land of the Delta Blues, Colby Murphy grew up as a nationally ranked cyclist and avid outdoorsman. Colby's addiction for competition took his amateur cycling career through college, capturing silver at the USAC National Championship and a spot on Team USA for the 2013 UCI World Championships in Auckland, New Zealand. While attending Middle Tennessee State University, Colby volunteered coaching youth athletes in addition to interning with the D1 NFL Combine Camp in Nashville, Tennessee. It was freshman year when Colby was exposed to the magic of Jackson Hole. Instantly attracted, he began splitting his time to ski Jackson every year thereafter.
Upon publishing research in the International Journal of Exercise Science and receiving his bachelor’s degree, Colby immediately relocated to Southern California in pursuit of his professional cycling career. Once retired from competition, Colby quickly found himself as a top producing sales professional serving owners of high end luxury real estate in areas of San Diego including Rancho Santa Fe, La Jolla, and Coronado. With his affection for luxury property, history with Jackson Hole, and prior connection to Christie's International Real Estate, Colby saw a clear path and executed a move to Jackson. In his spare time, he now enjoys turning laps at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and giving back at Jackson Hole Therapeutic Riding Association.
Colby is fortunate to have been raised around admirable examples of what drive, tenacity and resilience can yield. His father, a self-made entrepreneur, and uncle, an owner of the Christie's affiliate brokerage in San Miguel de Allende and Mexico City, both inspired Colby's ambitions from an early age.
Now, Colby has positioned himself among some of the most respected networks in the industry. He feels proud and blessed to have established relationships with multiple Christie’s affiliate owners and associates spanning multiple cities, states, and countries. Colby has also recently become a member of REALM™, the first globally collaborative real estate collective designed to empower the real estate professional by curating new relationships and matching qualified buyers based on lifestyle experiences and passions rather than search criteria.
In a market where there are as many agents as annual transactions, Colby represented clients from Australia, the UK, Mexico, and several U.S. states in his first year alone. He applies the principles and work ethic he learned through sport and his impressive circle of mentors to ensure he creates the highest value for his clients. Always elevating, always seeking excellence, his acquired values and attributes provide a successful combination that will ensure your selling or buying experience is a win.

Figures reflect currently listed South of Jackson properties above and update as listings change.
01
This is Jackson Hole's oldest money, quietly held.
South of Jackson is where the valley's earliest ranching families put down roots, and much of that heritage survives in the scale of the properties still standing today: broad acreage, working barns, riding arenas, and country club fairways carved into sagebrush flats and cottonwood bottoms along the Snake River corridor. Unlike the Town of Jackson, where lots are measured in feet, land south of Jackson and toward Wilson is measured in acres, and that difference in scale is the entire appeal.
Buyers drawn here are typically trading proximity to downtown restaurants and galleries for privacy, land, and a slower, more pastoral rhythm, without giving up much drive time to get back into town. It's a market that rewards patience: inventory turns over slowly, and the estates that do come up for sale tend to have been held by the same family for a generation or more.
02
Inventory south of Jackson is almost entirely single family estates rather than condos or townhomes, a legacy of the area's ranch and country club roots. Lots run larger and more private than in-town parcels, with several Wilson properties sited on multi-acre grounds with room for pasture, barns, or riding arenas. New construction is a meaningful share of current inventory, reflecting steady demand for custom-built estates on larger footprints than the town core can offer.
Single Family Estates
$10.2M–$62M. The dominant property type south of Jackson, spanning classic ranch-style homes to newer architectural builds.
Ranch & Equestrian
Larger acreage listings concentrated toward Wilson, several with barn, pasture, and riding facilities in place.
New Construction
Several Pending and Coming Soon listings reflect ongoing custom builds on larger South of Jackson lots.
03
South of Jackson trades walkability for acreage. Buyers who want to step out the door into restaurants and shops tend to look in the Town of Jackson or Teton Village instead. Buyers who want land, quiet, and a working-ranch character, with a short drive back into town when they want it, look south. West of Jackson and North of Jackson offer a similar tradeoff at different price points and proximities, so it's worth comparing all four before deciding where in the valley to settle.
04
South of Jackson falls within Teton County School District #1, rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger and ranked 18th of 43 Wyoming districts. Colter, Wilson, and Jackson Elementary rank among the top elementary schools statewide, with students continuing to Jackson Hole Middle School and Jackson Hole High School, which posts a 92 percent graduation rate and an Advanced Placement participation rate well above the Wyoming state average.
School assignment follows official district boundaries. Buyers should confirm current zoning directly with Teton County School District #1.
05
Larger lots, more privacy
Parcel sizes here run well above the typical in-town lot, appealing to buyers seeking real distance from neighbors and unobstructed views of the Tetons.
Established ranch heritage
Home to some of Jackson Hole's long-standing country clubs and multi-generation ranch properties, giving the area a settled, understated character.
Minutes from town
Most listings sit a short drive from downtown Jackson's restaurants, galleries, and services despite the rural, low-density feel.
