Tucked within the gated confines of The Colony in Park City, Utah, Soaring Water stands as one of the most remarkable private mountain residences in the country. Situated on four and a half acres within a community of roughly 300 home sites, each parcel averaging five acres, the property offers a level of seclusion and natural immersion that is rarely achieved at this scale.
The home was designed and built by Upwell Design ten years ago, yet it presents with the precision and finish of new construction. Its curved roofline, knife-edge fascia, and copper gutter systems follow the natural contour of the ridge, a design philosophy rooted in conversation with the land rather than imposition upon it. The result is something closer to living sculpture than conventional architecture. Luxury real estate YouTuber Gavren Dochterman was given the opportunity to check out this stunning property.
Soaring Water spans 13,282 square feet of interior living space, comprising eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and 14 fireplaces spread across multiple levels. The home’s organic geometry carries from the exterior inward, where curved island countertops, sweeping steel staircases, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls create a continuous flow through every room. Materials throughout include clear cedar soffits, dry-stack stone, quartzite, Italian gray marble, and walnut shelving, all selected to complement the surrounding mountain landscape.
A bridge connects the main house to the primary wing, spanning a year-round creek that runs beneath the property and feeds into an on-site pond. The primary suite overlooks this water feature directly, offering an uninterrupted view that anchors the morning experience. The home also features a concealed lower-level room accessible only by elevator, offering two queen beds and ground-level access to the outdoor grounds.
The outdoor amenities match the scale of the interior. A heated lap pool maintained at 100 degrees, a spa accommodating ten to twelve guests, and a natural stone pathway across the creek create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. All exterior surfaces, including the driveway and bridge, are heated to manage snow accumulation throughout the winter season.
Of course Soaring Water features direct access to private ski terrain. From the dedicated ski-in, ski-out room on the lower level, residents can clip into their equipment and access the slopes of Park City Mountain Resort straight from their door.
