This amazing rustic mansion in Park City, Utah, USA is set on a mountaintop, in its own private 4.3 acres of woodland. The enchanting home was built in 1996 with multiple outdoor entertainment and relaxation areas. With so much of natures beauty to enjoy, you might wonder if the owners would ever wish to go indoors… But this dwelling holds an extraordinary surprise feature. A river runs right through the centre of the interior, flanked by extensive volumes of natural rock, so that you need never feel separated from nature. Best of all, this house is up for grabs! That is, if you have a spare $9,400,000 laying around.
The exterior of this home reflects the natural elements that surround it. Built from raw timber and rustic rock the façade looks like it could have grown from the land itself.
The mountaintop beauty spot is awash with the sound of cascading waterfalls from the ponds and birdsong from the trees.
Decks around the home exterior enjoy views over the ponds, the changing colours of the trees and bright skies.
Outdoor relaxation would never grow dull with so many stunning aspects to soak up and enjoy.
Nature seems to hug this home.
All aspects of this house have been kept raw and honest to blend in with the natural beauty spot. An exterior chunky wooden balustrade around the edge of a stone patio, and the central wooden deck with dining benches, settle in quietly with surroundings rather than shouting out their presence.

Outdoor staircases are almost camouflaged.

Numerous unique ceiling fans rotate quickly overhead, keeping the grand living room cool and ventilated.
Rustic pendant lights also descend down from the rustic wooden ceiling, where roofline windows let in even more natural light and views of a clear blue sky. Tracks of smaller spotlights light the areas in between and around the edges. Looking down we can see the extensive stonework over the floor and steps, mirroring that of the sprawling patio outside beyond the glass doors and picture windows.
Four kitchen stools with scrolling metalwork frames are placed along the side of a smooth countertop that looks like it is rooted right into the floor. The surface looks as though it might have sprouted just to provide a comfortable place to sit and chat with the chef, and as a spot for casual dining. Four petite glass kitchen pendant lights illuminate the wood and stone installation.
The low-hanging breakfast bar pendant lights draw the eye up to appreciate the beautiful patina over a metal volume above the dining bench. The rest of the gourmet kitchen is an extensive selection of wooden cabinetry, some with glass doors to showcase the contents. A central island holds an extra sink and prep surface.
A step up to this rustic dining room has an undulating profile, lit by a floor level light. Two dining pendants hang above two banquet tables.
