Description: House in Utah
Address: 15155 Rose View Ln Herriman 84096

Approximate value $: 269,000

My designer home in Rose Canyon, just outside Salt Lake City on 5 acres, for your California home.

An avante guarde Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design, passive solar heating and cooling, with a massive Trombe wall fireplace. Gorgeous views of the Oquirrh (say oak-er)mountains and the Salt Lake Valley. Close to skiing. Awesomely quiet. Clean, fresh air. Low crime. Moratorium on new building. Backed by BLM and Camp Williams (Nat'l Guard). Cordial neighbors.
3bdrm, 1&1/2 bath, vaulted ceilings, 2 storage attics, new fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, R.O. water filter, 2 car garage with well equipped shop. DSL internet. 26 HDTV channels from an antenna. No need for cable. Fenced dog run. Single story, stucco finished 2005. City water and no hassle, no stink septic. Rain water catchment system. Mainly Juniper, Sage Oak and Maple, with Buffalo grass lawn. Separate in-law cabin. Herds of tame deer, flocks of wild turkey, gaggles of rabbits, hummingbirds by the score, but never a mosquito anywhere on the five acres. All paid for. Four working off-road vehicles included for the many miles of mountain trails, some right on the property, which is on a gravel pavement cul de sac. An adjoining 3.65 acre empty lot is available. Also included is a 12 ft. Snark sailboat that will cartop to the large Herriman reservoir, 10 minutes away. Great free swimming, snorkeling, fishing, sailing, picnicking, beaching and bathing beauties, with the Wasatch range for a backdrop. Rugged mountain biking, horse back riding, ATV off-roading, hiking, kite flying, archery and bow hunting, camping, cross-country skiing, gardening and hammock swinging, all on the 5 acres.
There's a great sense of community with the neighbors and the Home Owner's Assn. Just North of us is *THE* richest mountain in the world, owned by Kennecott Copper. Earlier this year, they tried to take over our Rose Canyon, the Crown Jewel of the Salt Lake Valley, to dig it up for more ore. No Way, Jose! The community organized, galvanized, politicized, and with a David vs. Goliath epic battle, we won! Rose Canyon will remain pristine and unsullied! And we now share in the feeling of victorious solidarity. Lots of wine-tasting and pot-lucking. Togetherness, with a community of high calibre people of integrity. It's rare.

But alas, we grow tired. We are an aging retired couple wanting to downscale and re-locate to CA to be closer to our families in our dotage, and pass the baton.

In exchange for House in California, 84096

Our requirements are minimal, but we want a garden, a shop, a view,3-4 bedrooms, easy bicycling, fresh air and beauty, with minimal stairs , somewhere in California. Let's do a trade and save all those broker's fees!
