The 23,000‑square‑foot main residence and 6,210‑square‑foot lake house are thoughtfully positioned along a private pond accented by waterfalls and streams, creating a setting both serene and dramatic.

The architecture blends stones quarried in Utah with reclaimed barn wood and massive timbers, giving the home a timeless mountain presence. Inside, the design is refined and modern with light walls, clean lines, and rich dark accents balanced by natural textures. Walls of glass open to sweeping views in every direction, while a soaring three‑story library serves as a striking centerpiece. Retractable glass walls in the kitchen and great room connect to expansive terraces and the pool deck, creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living.
Rarely does a property of this magnitude and vision come to market. It stands as both an architectural achievement and a private sanctuary. It is truly one of Utah’s most extraordinary estates.
The Setting
The property encompasses thirty acres approximately three and a half miles up South Fork, combining open meadows, wooded hillsides, and carefully landscaped areas around a private lake. The main residence sits at the center of the estate with a circular drive and expansive lawns, while the lake features a sandy beach, stone‑edged water features, and a separate lake house on the shore. Groves of trees and garden spaces add variety to the landscape, and the outer acreage provides natural privacy with its mix of wooded terrain and canyon hillside. With a private gated entrance and complete seclusion, the setting offers sweeping views of Mount Timpanogos and the surrounding mountains.
