(We asked AI to help us describe this gorgeous mountain home, and here’s what we got!)
MLS# 1990293 <– Click for tour and details!
If you’ve ever wondered what $38 million buys you in Utah, we found the answer: 3,387 acres, 17,493 square feet of living space, a private mountain, seven ponds, a waterfall, and a garage big enough to house your car collection, your friend’s car collection, and probably a small airplane.
And yes, this place is very real. It’s called Hobble Creek Ranch, and it’s currently the most expensive residential property for sale in the entire state.
We’re not listing it, and we’re not trying to sell it to you (though, if you happen to have $38M burning a hole in your jeans, call us). We’re just here to appreciate it, gawk at it, and give it the blog spotlight it very much deserves.
So… Where Is This Place?
Just outside Springville, Utah, tucked deep in Hobble Creek Canyon, sits a private estate that’s less of a house and more of a self-contained kingdom. You’re about an hour from Salt Lake City and Park City, but honestly, once you’re inside, you might forget the rest of the world exists.
At the end of a long, paved road — and through not one but two private gates — you’ll find the main residence surrounded by twenty acres of manicured lawns. Beyond that? The rest of your 3,387-acre backyard. Yes, that’s miles of personal land.
“This home isn’t just off the grid — it built its own grid, put a gate around it, and added a waterfall for good measure.”
What’s Actually Inside?
We took a deep dive into the details so you don’t have to (but also because we couldn’t help ourselves). The house itself spans 17,493 square feet across three fully finished levels, featuring:
- 7 bedroom
- 10 bathrooms
- A 20-car garage (heated, obviously)
- Not one but two kitchens
- A theater room
- Gym
- Sauna
- Vaulted ceilings, granite everything, and a layout that could only be described as “deliberately dramatic”
Here’s the breakdown:
| Feature | What It Actually Means |
|---|---|
| Indoor swimming pool | Yes, even your pool parties are year-round |
| Seven ponds on the property | One for fishing, one for floating, five for showing off |
| Workshop & outbuildings | Because why not? |
| Elevator | You could take the stairs. But why? |
| Guest apartments | So your guests can have their own zip code |
The Land Is… Unreal
This isn’t just about the square footage. It’s about the scale. You get full access to more than 10,000 acres of adjacent forest land, making this one of the most exclusive backyards in the country. There are trails, roads, and elevation that climbs from 5,700 to 9,100 feet — meaning your backyard includes meadows, hills, and actual mountain terrain.
It’s ideal for horseback riding, hiking, hunting, cattle, or just casually owning a literal mountain. Big game hunting? It’s here. Wildlife? Yes. Peace, quiet, and enough stars overhead to make you forget about Wi-Fi? That too.
“And on the seventh day, the ranch rested — but only after installing a steam room, tennis court, and central vacuum system.”
So Why Are We Talking About This?
Because this house is insane — in the best possible way. And we believe real estate should be fun to talk about, even if you’re just here to see what the most over-the-top house in Utah looks like.
At Washburn Real Estate, we love sharing the stories behind homes like this. Whether you’re in the market for a ranch, a cabin, a downtown condo, or just some property to daydream about — we think the real estate world should be inspiring, entertaining, and a little bit surprising.
So no, this isn’t your average listing. It’s something better: a reminder that Utah is full of wild beauty, and sometimes, that beauty comes with a hot tub and a helicopter pad.
