Property Status: Active A Midcentury Architectural Retreat Beneath the Pines. An architectural original. A private woodland sanctuary. A distinctly Salt Lake experience. Discover a rare architectural retreat shaped by nature, designed by renowned local architect Stephen Macdonald, and lovingly inhabited by an artist for more than 50 years. Set amid towering pines and mature gardens, this distinctive post-and-beam residence offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience architecture, art, and the natural world in harmony. Macdonald had a remarkable gift for placing homes in conversation with their surroundings, and this residence is a beautiful expression of that vision. Natural materials, a dramatic flagstone fireplace, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outdoors into the living spaces. The distinctive shed roofline frames distant views of Mt. Olympus from the upper deck, while the main living area offers a warm, inviting atmosphere anchored by the substantial stone fireplace. Beyond the walls, the property unfolds like a secluded woodland garden. Forty-foot pines and mature shrubbery create a sense of privacy and escape, while meandering walking paths invite you to explore the grounds at your own pace. Along the way, discover tucked-away seating areas beneath the trees-quiet places for morning coffee, an afternoon read, or an unhurried evening surrounded by nature. There is a special sense of history here. Conceived by an architect and cherished by an artist over five decades, the home carries a creative spirit that is difficult to replicate. Its organic architecture and wooded setting invite you to slow down, look more closely, and experience a different rhythm of life. Whether you're visiting Salt Lake City for a mountain getaway, a creative retreat, or simply a change of scenery, this is more than a place to stay. It is an opportunity to inhabit a piece of architectural history, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the forest. Come for the architecture. Stay for the tranquility. Leave inspired.
