Pne Meadow Subdivision

With stunning, protected views of the Tetons, the 14 lot subdivision of Pine Meadow is comprised of spacious, yet private homes that have access to a variety of excellent fishing streams and ponds.

Pine Meadow was originally part of a USA Patent to James Harmison in 1908. Through the years, the land was passed on to family members until the 1930's when parts of the land were sold to A.E. Ward, Helen and Henry Weston, and Alvin Ostler. Until the early 1950's, the land continued to be bought and sold several times before it was purchased by Albert Schwabacher Sr. and his wife May K. Schwabacher. Schwabacher was a California investor who was also an avid fly fisherman. He originally came to the Jackson Hole area in the 1920's to look for fishing areas and bought what is now Lost Creek Ranch. He subsequently purchased Pine Meadow, Teal Trace, the Buchenoth property, and the Edgecomb property in the 1950s and would frequently bring friends out to fish the superb fish creek channels. He also ran cattle on the property.

Albert's two sons, Albert E., Jr. and John L. Schwabacher also resided in California but spent a great deal of time in Jackson Hole. They were friends with local contemporaries Paul von Gontard and Felix Buchenroth. John helped run his father's ranch properties in the 1940's, and the family holdings extended into the Pinedale area.

In 1958, Albert Sr. transferred the property in south Wilson to his two sons, and in 1975, the two brothers divided the property between them. Albert sold his holdings to the Gros Ventre Cattle Company in a transaction that involved his old friends Gontard and Buchenroth. The Gros Ventre Cattle Company then went on to develop what is now Pine Meadows. Jack Schwabacher sold his part of the property to G. Bland Hoke, Jr. who developed it into what is now the Teal Trace area.
