Yes, while the interiors have the power to delight, the ranch’s most impressive feature is its sublime Wasatch Mountain landscape, including the peak of the 12,000-foot Mount Timpanogoswhich envelops the verdant estate. The land is also situated on the fringe of Deer Creek Reservoir and the Provo River.
