About This Home

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.
