6424 E Lefthand Fork Ln, Salt Lake City, UT 84108

For a true mountain retreat within minutes of Salt Lake City, nothing compares to this opportunity in Emigration Canyon's most authentic mountain neighborhood, Pinecrest. Set among mature trees alongside a flowing creek, this home enjoys a romantic setting where all you can hear are the sounds of the forest and the creek flowing down the canyon. City life feels a world away but is just minutes down the road. Inside, the vibe is warm and inviting, filled with natural light and a modern cabin aesthetic. Floors are radiantly heated throughout, with polished concrete floors in the great room surrounded by cedar-clad walls. Four bedrooms are spread across three levels, including a main-level suite, a second-story primary suite with walk-in closet, claw-foot tub, and private deck overlooking a fire pit, two additional second-story bedrooms sharing a charming bathroom, and a spacious third-floor loft that works equally well as a game room, studio, or fifth sleeping space. In 2009, the home was rebuilt into the timeless treehouse that you see today, preserving only a small portion of the previous structure. In the past few years, the solar panels, boiler, water softener, and many appliances were replaced, and the roof was partially replaced as part of the solar upgrade, which has been paid off. Now you can enjoy your new canyon retreat from day one with peace of mind and low maintenance. When you live in Emigration Canyon, you are just up the road from the University of Utah, Rowland Hall, and downtown Salt Lake City, with convenient access to I-80 for the airport, nearby ski resorts, and Mountain Dell Golf Course. What attracts buyers most, though, is the authentic mountain lifestyle with year-round wildlife and out-your-door access to snowshoeing and backcountry skiing in winter, and some of the best hiking, mountain biking, and cycling in the spring, summer, and fall.
