RED PINE RETREAT: At the end of a private drive, just 5 miles from Kamas, lies a 50-acre mountain canyon sanctuary bordering National Forest, where the sounds of wildlife and wind in the quakies replace the noise of everyday life, and after dark, the stars fill a sky untouched by city lights. Nestled in a beautiful aspen and pine forest with doorstep access to miles of trails for hiking, snowmobiling, ATVing, and horseback riding, this 8,200 square-foot custom timber-frame home captures breathtaking views of the surrounding valley and mountainside. Water features, numerous gardens, a fire pit, expansive and quaint decks and patios add to the ambiance and facilitate large gatherings and private meditation. A game field, elevated playhouse with zip line and natural sledding hill assure that the magic extends to the younger generation. For those with a green thumb, a raspberry patch, fruit trees, raised-bed gardens, and a geothermally heated BC greenhouse brings year-round options. While the majestic stone and large timber exterior complement the mountain setting, the interior is anything but rugged with a chef's kitchen outfitted with Wolf appliances, three ovens, two dishwashers, and a large center island. The main-level primary suite is a retreat of its own with a private deck, travertine fireplace, expansive windows and a luxurious bath. An additional 5 large en-suite bedrooms with vaulted ceilings or private garden space and exceptionally crafted tilework ensures that every guest will enjoy luxury and privacy. The home is as suited to everyday living as it is to entertaining, offering a home theater, dedicated exercise space, whole-home surround sound, and a full security system. A private entry office complete with fireplace and built-ins is a perfect place to write or work. A three-car garage with epoxy flooring and an extra-tall bay provides generous space for vehicles, recreational equipment, and mountain toys. Solar power, radiant heat, a private fresh-water well, and an on-site weather station contribute to a more self-sufficient mountain lifestyle. It's hard to find this much privacy just 30 minutes from world-class skiing, water recreation, award-winning golf, and the restaurants and nightlife of Park City. Salt Lake City International Airport is just an hour away. This private oasis can serve equally well as a full-time residence, family retreat, or second home. Some properties can be understood through photographs and descriptions. The rich wood detailing, masterful stonework, expansive views, and four seasons of magic at Red Pine Retreat must be experienced in person to be truly understood.
