Go Inside This Frank Lloyd Wright-Inspired Gem Near Salt Lake City With a Plush Walk-Out Lower Level Level

If Frank Lloyd Wright had designed a modern mountain retreat, it might look something like this. Nestled at the base of Little Cottonwood Canyon—just 20 miles from Salt Lake City—this striking 2006-built custom home sits within the prestigious, 477-acre guard-gated community of Pepperwood. With its clean lines, natural materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, the residence nods to the principles of Wright’s Prairie School, reimagined here for contemporary mountain living.

From the moment you step inside, the architectural influence is clear: natural stones and woods, strong horizontal lines, wide overhangs, and expansive windows that blur the boundary between indoors and out.

The home reflects thoughtful craftsmanship throughout. Rich hardwood floors ground the open-plan main level, where natural light pours in through oversized windows framing dramatic canyon views. A serene primary suite and two spacious home offices anchor the main floor—ideal for today’s work-from-home flexibility. Eight full bedrooms, three three-quarter baths and two half baths spread across nearly 13,000 square feet present the ultimate retreat for multi-generational living.  

Upstairs, each bedroom is its own private sanctuary, complete with an en-suite bath, walk-in closet, and a dedicated deck showcasing panoramic alpine vistas.

But the true showstopper lies on the walk-out lower level. With soaring 10-foot ceilings, the space is tailored for entertainment, leisure and wellness: a state-of-the-art theater, full gym with spa steam shower, gaming lounge, hobby room, and a fully outfitted guest apartment with its own kitchen and entrance.

Car enthusiasts and collectors will appreciate the 8-car garage, complete with an electric vehicle charging station and heated, plumbed driveway. A 1,350-square-foot vault on the lower level offers rare flexibility for secure storage or custom use.

Outside, the private backyard delivers on every level, with a large covered patio, basketball court, and lush landscaping designed for both large-scale entertaining and quiet evenings under the mountain sky. Sustainability was top of mind, too—solar panels and dual electric radiant and hydronic heating ensure year-round comfort with energy-conscious design.

Living in Pepperwood means access to a suite of resort-style amenities, including a pool and spa, tennis and pickleball courts, a splash pad, sand volleyball, playgrounds, and miles of walking and biking trails. Community events—from summer food truck nights to the Fourth of July parade—foster a true sense of neighborhood.

In the spirit of Wright, this home delivers an architectural beauty that blends form and function while being in total harmony with its natural surroundings.
