$60M Megamansion
The Park City estate we featured two years ago has gone up from $47 million to $60 million but has retained its “Italian thermally-broken steel windows and doors, Croatian limestone, shou sugi ban-charred cypress, and full copper roof.”
Lord of the Rings
A “Lord of the Rings” inspired home in Provo is on the market for $43 million with shire-like details and its own lake.
Five Caves
A 54-acre property in La Sal, Utah features a mobile home, five red rock caves (three of which make “promising living quarters”), off-grid infrastructure, and sweeping mountain views. All for under $1 million.
An Empty Lot
For $675,000, this empty lot (close to Liberty Park!) could be yours. So, again, not an actual house but the potential for up to four units under Salt Lake City’s current zoning laws.

Disney Backroom
Even though this $34.5 million Hyrum mansion sold in October, I had to feature it for its creepy animatronics and tunnels (??) that look eerily like the Backrooms.
