    What's special

    Fully fenced back areaHigh-fenced gardenNew updated refrigeratorStamped patioMultiple water hydrantsSpa-inspired bathroomCovered wrap-around porch
    Tucked into the heart of Dry Fork Canyon, this remarkable 8-acre estate offers more than a home-it delivers a lifestyle surrounded by some of Vernal's most iconic scenery. Towering Navajo sandstone cliffs create a dramatic backdrop, while nearby access to McConkie Ranch Petroglyphs, the Flume and Narrow trailheads, Red Cloud Loop, Flaming Gorge, Red Fleet Reservoir & Ashley Gorge via Ferrata puts outdoor adventure close by. A covered wrap-around porch welcomes you into a thoughtfully designed residence where craftsmanship and comfort meet. Inside, the great room makes an unforgettable first impression with soaring 24-foot tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings, expansive wood-framed windows, and a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, complemented by a Blaze King wood catalytic stove. Natural light and panoramic canyon views fill the space, creating a true sense of mountain elegance. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring granite and quartz countertops, custom alder cabinetry with built-in details, a gas range, and a new updated refrigerator. Whether gathered at the breakfast bar or seated in the charming circular dining nook, every space is designed to take in the surrounding views. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in shower, and walk-in closet. With four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, the home balances comfortable private spaces with inviting areas for entertaining. Designed with both function and versatility in mind, the property is fully equipped for animals and hobbies alike. Much of the acreage is pipe-fenced, with established pasture on the front and south side. This is a fully fenced horse property that includes a 20' x 24' lean-to. The impressive 3,500 sq. ft. red iron shop with attached lean-to provides exceptional workspace, featuring five bay doors, 200-amp separate service, commercial-grade wiring, a 50-amp RV hookup, and dedicated areas for storage, projects, and even a custom sauna. Outdoor living is just as exceptional, with a stamped patio, pergola, and custom rock firepit area perfect for enjoying peaceful canyon evenings. Additional amenities include a high-fenced garden area, chicken coop with run, covered hay storage, multiple water hydrants, and ample storage throughout. The well provides 4.73 ac ft of water. The property is also supported by 1,000-gallon and 500-gallon propane tanks for added convenience. This is a rare opportunity to own a private canyon retreat that seamlessly blends refined living with the rugged beauty of the surrounding landscape.
