A 21,000-square-foot Wasatch County mansion was sold last week — for a price that’s “definitely a record,” its listing agent said.
Though he said he’s unable to comment on the price or buyer, listing agent Paul Benson said the deal left both parties happy.
“The seller is very excited that the buyer is a family that will actually use all the amenities that the home was created for,” he said. “We are thrilled.”
The Wall Street Journal reported the home “sold in the high $50 million range,” which, if accurate, aligns with Benson’s claim of a broken record.
Previously, the highest amount paid for a single-family home in Utah was set in 2022 when someone paid $41.7 million for a furnished house in The Colony at White Pine Canyon, at Park City Mountain. The closing price was $39.6 million.
(Engel & Völkers) The home, which was listed Sept. 20, 2024, for $65M in Deer Crest at Deer Valley Resort, contains an indoor NBA regulation-size basketball court, pickleball courts, a bowling alley and other amenities.
The new record-holding home, which was originally built by Doug Bergeron, the former CEO of VeriFone Systems, sports a pool, sports courts, a climbing wall, bowling alley and gondola-like rail system to take passengers to Deer Valley runs atop Bald Eagle Mountain.
