If you’ve ever wanted to live inside a mythical mountain fantasy, this might be as close as it gets. Inspired by The Lord of the Rings, designed by Michael Upwall and built by custom home builder Magleby Construction, this 30-acre estate in the secluded South Fork of Provo Canyon feels less like a home and more like a private alpine kingdom.
With 23,000 square feet in the main residence, a 6,200-square-foot guest house, waterfalls, ponds, reclaimed timber, and massive stonework quarried in Utah, the property blends old-world mountain presence with refined modern design.
For skiers, the appeal is obvious: Sundance Mountain Resort is just 15 minutes from the gate and Deer Valley’s East Village is within 45 minutes. Imagine slaying powder all day and then retreating to your own personal shire:

One of the Greatest Estates in Utah
Inspired by the Lord of the Rings, designed by Michael Upwall and built by Magleby Construction, this estate is among the most remarkable in Utah. Nestled on 30 acres in the secluded South Fork of Provo Canyon, it is a property defined by privacy, scale, and artistry.
The 23,000 sf main residence and the 6,200 sf guest house are thoughtfully positioned along a private pond accentuated by waterfalls and streams, creating a setting both serene and dramatic. The architecture blends stones quarried in Utah with reclaimed barn wood and massive timbers, giving the home a timeless mountain presence. Inside, the design is refined and modern with light walls, clean lines, and rich dark accents balanced by natural textures.
Wall of glass open to sweeping views in every direction. Amenities elevate the estate to the level of a private retreat: indoor basketball and racquetball courts, a 50+-foot climbing wall, golf simulator, theater, game lounge, sauna, hot tub, and an outdoor pool and natural stone diving features into a pond. The large two-bedroom lake house and pond extend the experience with paddleboarding, fishing, rope swings, and evenings on the water. Expansive lawns can host gatherings of every size, while private trails connect directly to public lands.
With the Provo River minutes away, Sundance Mountain Resort just 15 minutes from the gate, and Deer Valley’s East Village only 45 minutes from the property, the lifestyle here is without equal.
