Single Family Home for Sale

When looking at a house, many times, buyers ask, "who are the sellers, and why are they moving?' 99% of the time, frankly, there is not much to that answer but not this time! I'm sure you are familiar with the word SURROUND SOUND- we have it in all of our TVs, cars, movie theaters, etc.; well, this is the place, the very place where surround sound was invented, tested, tweaked, and perfected. All things magical with how we listen to our favorite sounds were churned out from the lab in the basement. Welcome to the home that Foz built. The estate was the creation of Jim and Norma Fosgate's dream, quiet, close to nature, and the most peaceful respite they could have imagined, all while being close to friends and family. Designed for entertaining, this home has all of the open living space we love today and is carefully crafted for main-floor living. Our owner suite has 2 separate bathrooms, each with a large walk-in dressing room area and closet, private laundry room, and a spiral staircase to a quiet getaway space just perfect for yoga, meditation, or reading. The kitchen is fully equipped with a prep sink, double ovens, and an 8-burner cooktop and hood. Bar and table dining are ample here along with the walk-in pantry. Glass French doors open up into the study, and bookcases line the walls centered by a gas log-burning fireplace to cozy up to in the winter months. Mud room entry has storage , plus an exit for the pooch into the back. Our lower lever is chock full of space, just waiting for you to make it yours. This was where The Jim Fosgate Museum and "Wizard of Foz lab" were located, all of his lifetime collectibles were here, along with his lab where he tinkered and created surround sound and Aries. The Foz Theater is intact with the speakers Jim put together and listened to music, finetuning both Surround Sound and Aries. He did many Sound Demonstrations in this room, and having experienced many of them, it was truly magnificent. The property is breathtaking, with views of the Wasatch back that are best described as spectacular. Situated back off of 1200 South, it is peaceful and quiet, as if you are 1000 miles away from it all. There are additional garages on the property, one will hold 8 cars or an RV if you prefer; the door height is already installed. The smaller garage will hold 4 cars, and it is flanked by covered RV parking. There are 10 acres total in this price, two separate 5 Acre lots, but they can only be sold together as this was their request. The property has its own water, the power is underground along with the propane tank that runs all the gas appliances inside. Behind the home is 5 acres of natural-scape land; a herd of deer lives here year-round, and it is your own little outdoor adventure just outside the backyard gate. Just minutes to Heber, Jordenalle reservoir, Deer Valley's Jordonelle express gondola, or Park City, this property has everything you have been looking for and then some. All we can say is it's nice to come home to your own sanctuary, and here is your opportunity to have it and all the magic that happened here too. Welcome home.
