Big In Park City, Estate of the Day


Those of you who have been playing this game with me for a while may remember this home. I first checked it out in 2006 when it was still under construction. Well now the 33,000 square foot lodge is finally completed giving us a chance to do a before and after. This home was built on a massive scale and has 14 bedrooms, a 12,500 sq ft underground heated garage and more stone, wood and glass than some hotels. Each room seems to be built on a huge scale with room for the masses. This home features one amazing Jacuzzi framed by a double-height window and a wine cellar big enough to provide years of wine-soaked nights by the fire. It was listed at $25 million in 2006 and has come down just a touch to $23.8 million.

Ann Romney's Jewelry Stolen

Filed under: Jewelry, Celebrity Shopping


Mitt Romney's wife Ann might regret leaving some of her jewelry at the couple's Park City Utah home, which is currently for sale for $5.25 million. The Park Record reports that someone stole between 15 and 20 pieces of her jewelry from the couple's mansion. The person who stole the jewelry apparently had access to the house because there was no evidence of a break-in. Workers were recently in the home making some repairs on a bathroom near the walk-in closet containing the jewelry and it is not clear if the jewelry was taken at that time. Currently the value of the pieces stolen is not known.

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

mitt romneyFormer Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate Mitt Romney may be feeling the financial pinch. The Boston Globe reports that Romney is selling two of his four homes, his Utah ski cabin and his Belmont, Massachusetts home. Romney also owns homes in New Hampshire and La Jolla, California. Romney's rep says that he and his wife Ann are downsizing because their children are grown and that the move has nothing to do with either the recession or the $42 million Romney spent on his campaign to be the Republican nominee for president.

Romney's Park City, Utah home is a seven-bedroom, 9,500-square-foot log cabin tucked into the side of a mountain on 11 acres. The post-and-beam home will be sold fully furnished with furniture made specifically for the Western-themed home. All the lighting features and fireplace screens were custom made. The home is rich in wood and natural stone including river-washed rocks which surround a large spa tub for relaxing after winter sports. This home is listed at $5.25 million.

White Pine Canyon, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


The listing refers to this Park City, Utah home as exceptional and they aren't kidding. The 13,000 sq ft home designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson is a modern version of a ski home. The most arresting feature has to be the lap pool which arcs out over the landscape, ending in a solid slab of aquarium glass to give you the sensation of swimming in a forest. Wood, concrete, steel and glass create a home that is angular and yet warm. The five-bedroom home has high ceilings, an elevator, gym, a streamlined wine cellar, covered dog run and large deck. There is also an indoor greenhouse. The 12.8 acre property has a ski trail across the street or you can ski through the woods to a main trail. It is listed at $9.8 million.

The Castle at Red Hawk, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


Someone in Park City, Utah has a bit of a French fetish. How else to explain this castle-like home with its medieval-style wooden gate, a stone guard house and a charming little peaked guest house complete with a clock above the door. In the main home the style vacillates between genuine vintage French antiquities and reclaimed pieces (the master bedroom seems to have a gorgeous vintage red marble fireplace) to the standard faux-European style we see in so many new homes. The listing says the home has five bedrooms and is 6,288 square feet. Noteworthy details include the charming round windows set into the peaked dormers, the antique angel hovering over a sitting area in the master bedroom and a chandelier in the laundry room. I'm not sure why you would need a chandelier in the laundry room but this home isn't about need, it's about the desire to create a Frenchified fantasy in the middle of ski country. It is listed at $5.9 million which looks to be a reduction from a $7 million listing price.

Filed under: Estates


This home in the Park Meadows area of Park City, Utah is a bit of a strange duck. The home has nine bedrooms with over 22,000 square feet of living space. The home is angular and modern and the pictures reveal some really huge spaces. The kitchen seems to have some sort of mirrored ceiling and there seem to be a lot of spaces dedicated to play with both a poker table and a foosball table in evidence. The home's design is so strange that it seems like it would be a hard sale. It is listed at $4.9 million.

Heber City Utah, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


This new home in Heber City, Utah is another example of the ski house on steroids. Like the massive Park City home I saw a while back, this one seems to be designed for giants. The seven-bedroom home is over 17,000 square feet. Instead of being a standard log cabin Western this home has a more of an Austrian ski house feel, a brick fireplace instead of river stones, highly finished beams as opposed to more rough hewn ones. Details of the home include a deluxe masterbath with mountain views from the whirlpool tub, an indoor pool, home theater, an entertainment room with a bar and a ski prep room. It is listed at $28.975 million. The virtual tour is here. After the jump, Paul Bunyan's ski getaway.

Deer Crest Estate, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


Today's estate takes us to another frosty winter location, Park City, Utah. This six bedroom home is located on a hilltop and has views of Park City as well as Jordanelle Resevoir. The over 10,000-square-foot home has features such as a ski prep room, plenty of fireplaces, an elevator, ski storage and an oversized garage. It's very similar to the last estate we covered in the Deer Creek estates nearly two years ago and the price $8,388,607, is also close, although I prefer the style of this home a bit more. After the jump, the very rough-hewn pool table.

Park City Utah, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


I don't usually choose estates still under construction but you can already tell that this Park City, Utah home is going to be a stunner. In a way it's almost more fun to see it in this phase, before it is completed so that you can appreciate how much work goes into creating a home of this size. This massive 33,000 square foot lodge is lcoated at the base of The Canyons impressive Ninety-Nine Ninety and Peak Five chair lifts. The huge home will have 14 bedroom suites, a hotel-quality spa, 25 seat theatre, exceptional wine cellar/retreat and a 16 car underground garage. It is listed at $25 million.
