On the Market: Moab, Utah
January 1, 2008
LOCATION: Built into Navajo Ridge in southeastern Utah’s Moab desert.
BACKGROUND: The 8,700-square-foot home has pristine desert views and proximity to national parks and recreational activities, such as river rafting and mountain biking. The house reflects the contemporary ideal, combining high ceilings, glass walls, natural materials and sleek lines within an abundance of open space. Outdoors, it is evident that nature played a key role in the property’s design, with a red stone wall chiseled from the rocky foundation.
STATS: The six-bedroom home is situated in an exceptionally small gated community (only 10 homes on five acres) and includes five-and-a-half bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, an infinity pool, an atrium with a water feature, an outdoor kitchen and a sundeck.
WHAT SETS IT APART: "The home is built into the mountain’s red sandstone," says Realtor Nels Cary. "It’s an artistic creation that evolves out of the natural canyon. But what makes it truly remarkable is that it is located in such an unexpected, unspoiled place, with dramatic views of snowcapped mountains year-round."
MARKET INQUIRIES: $9,750,000. Nels Cary, Peaks Real Estate Sotheby’s International Realty, 970.729.1404, www.peaksrealestate.com. Rick Lamb, Moab Realty, 800.897.7325, www.moabrealty.com
