What kind of home would you buy if you had over a million to spend? Would it have a movie theater, a basketball court, a swimming pool? What kind of details would you expect? How much land would you want? If it were in Cache Valley where would you want your $1,000,000.00 home built?
Today I had the opportunity to tour a Million Dollar home and I took photos to share with you. This property is currently available to purchase so as we explore, consider taking advantage of the opportunity to make this home your own.
Please excuse the cars in the drive...just note that you can have A LOT of cars in this drive all at once.
As we go through the home, keep in mind that it was built for an Engineer who took pride in making sure that the home is exceptionally well built. I will include some of the highlights that you can't see as we explore the beauty that you can see. Like this tidbit...the frame of the whole house is cross tied with galvanized metal providing high resistance in the case of an earthquake. If you are going to have a million dollar home you certainly want to make sure it is protected as well as it can be from potential disaster.
The entry is light, open and very grand.
Would you believe this home is 20 years old? The owners have lovingly cared for every inch of it inside and out.
A gorgeous custom etched glass and brass hand rail adorns the staircase.
A very presidential looking (oval-ish) office. Just imagine the kind of things you could accomplish in that environment! (FYI - most of the furnishings are available for purchase with the house).
There are four custom fireplaces in this home, each built in a way to maximize their ability to provide warmth both physically and visually.
Sorry, I only captured 3 of the 4 fireplaces on camera today.
A wonderful place to gather family and friends alike...
The outdoor features of this home are extraordinary. So indulge me as we explore the grounds.
Your ears are delighted by the soft sound of trickling water from three different fountains strategically placed around the grounds. The love birds are particularly charming.
There are several areas from which to enjoy the lush landscape including two wrought iron balconies.
A shaded escape to enjoy some solitude...
The exquisite view from front Juliette balcony.
An all white gazebo graces the back yard.
There is plenty of room to add that pool should you desire, however the grounds are so outstanding you may not want to. Let me point out here that all water coming off of the 7800 square foot roof is carried away to high capacity underground rock filled dry wells. Perforated pipe is laid in the gravel completely surrounding the house to prevent any possible window well water protecting the whole house during wet seasons.
Don't be surprised when you send the kids outside to play and they don't come back in for a while...a long while.
Up to the right in the picture above you can see the entrance to the tunnel that leads to the slide area outside.
What playhouse would be complete without a couple of chairs to relax in on the porch?
Yes those are real flowers planted in the window box of the playhouse:)
Shall we finish up with a peek at the master bath and kitchen?
As you can tell with 9900 square feet of living space, there is a lot to see and a lot I didn't show you. While this home may lack a few features that are often typical of a modern high-end home, (Viking range, home theater room, spa), it's smart engineering and gracious architecture more than make up for it. This is a home built to endure and would cost far more than the asking price to recreate new. There certainly is ample space to add any amenities or extras that your heart may desire.
If this home speaks to you, (and you happen to have access to $1,000,000.00 or so) let me know and I would love to show you this singular home in person. It is a home that has been cherished and now awaits a new owner to enjoy it's luxuries.
