Katherine Heigl’s Utah Mountain Estate Is a Study in Refined Rustic Elegance inside a Secluded 24-Acre Alpine Sanctuary
Complete with a private spa wing and a 200-year-old listening shack, the $10.6M retreat is a study in elevated ranch living
Few homes feel quite as connected to their surroundings as Katherine Heigl’s private retreat in Oakley, Utah. Set among the Wasatch Mountains, the secluded estate marries Alpine charm with contemporary luxury – both of which pay homage to its surrounding landscape. Now, for those with a spare $10.6 million, the property is officially on the market.
Hidden within Maple Ridge Ranches, the custom-ranch-style home was created by the actress and her husband, musician Josh Kelley, as a private escape surrounded by nature. Needless to say, it fits the specifications.
The 8,000-square-foot residence blends traditional mountain architecture with a more refined approach, bringing together timber, stone, and modern decor across its interiors. Let's take a closer look around.
Upon entering the home, its scale is immediately apparent: vaulted ceilings, expansive living spaces, and a 30-foot steel fireplace anchor the main great room, setting the perfect base for the rustic decor to impress. But, as mentioned, there are modern elements too.
With her clever living room lighting (like this pendant from Wayfair), camel-hued skirted sofas, and mint accent chairs, Katherine designed a space that feels comfortable and lived-in despite its impressive proportions.

This sofa is designed for those who want that ultra-deep lounge experience without sacrificing clean, tailored lines. Whether you are anchoring a large room (like Katherine's) or working in a smaller home, it's 'sink in' feeling makes it hard to forget.
With its sleek black finish and rich cognac glass shades, this chandelier offers an alternative to Katherine's lighting. The five-light arrangement draws the eye upward while diffusing a warm, inviting light throughout the room.
For a Katherine-inspired look, this sage accent chair is a perfect addition. Its curved silhouette and boucle-like chenille upholstery create a cozy, elevated feel, while the open-cutout legs add a unique touch and keep the design light and airy.
This coffee table is so similar to the one in the middle of Katherine's room; it's hard to believe it's under $250. Its black geometric base contrasts beautifully with the rippled white faux-marble top, creating a designer feel the actress would surely love.
A white orchid is one of the most beautiful and versatile live flowers you can add to your home; just ask Katherine, who has two by her fireplace. The verdant leaves add a touch of texture, while the white flowers lend the look its signature elegance.
Storage doesn’t have to be boring. This handwoven seagrass basket adds warmth and texture to your space, with integrated handles that make it easy to move from room to room (starting with the living space, naturally).
Beyond the living room, the interiors continue that same balance of ranch-style comfort and modern craftsmanship. The home features six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, along with a custom kitchen, a dedicated movie theater, a media room, and a private spa wing complete with a sauna and a multi-head steam shower.
The primary suite offers a private retreat within the home, with a generous bedroom, a separate sitting area, an oversized walk-in closet, and a bathroom featuring a wall-fed waterfall that exemplifies the concept of a spa bathroom.
Outside, the home features expansive terraces and a heated pool positioned to frame the mountain views (from rattan accent chairs, where 70s-style once again meets contemporary outdoor furniture trends).
Alongside the main residence, the estate includes a number of distinctive spaces that make it feel personal, including a hand-rebuilt listening shack made from 200-year-old reclaimed oak. The retreat was designed for quiet evenings spent listening to records while taking in the surrounding mountain views.
Another detached studio with its own bathroom, water supply, and heating also served as Katherine's art studio and her husband's leather atelier.
'The views are unobstructed and cannot be built out, and the unique positioning of the property cannot be replicated,' says Paul Benson of Engel & Völkers Park City, who currently holds the listing.
From the 30-foot steel fireplace to the private spa wing, every corner of this compound proves that mountain living can be both ruggedly grand and effortlessly refined. Katherine's Utah retreat is officially ready for its next chapter – and its next lucky curator.
