Splendor in Southern Utah’s Canyon Country! Between two national parks and at the gateway to Grand Staircase National Monument is the picturesque little community of Escalante. On the edge of Escalante, in a beautiful, intriguing landscape, the Fire Rock residence is of a bold, creative design, with a quiet elegance, much in line with its companion, Fire Rock, the massive sandstone formation rising behind it. The home sits on a pretty 18.5 acres with abundant water rights, a guest house, shop, gardens, and a geothermal greenhouse. There is a wonderful sense of space with the land and within the home. A substantial structure with a generous, graceful feel inside, the home has three levels with a total of 6100 square feet. Designed for livability along with an appreciation for the lovely views, there are three bedrooms, 4 baths, and a great room with a fabulous kitchen. On the second floor, a home office in a separate wing has sizable windows, a deck of its own and plenty of space to work and to relax. The master suite, very private and very spacious, has a sitting room, walk-in closets, and its own laundry. The lower level has a guest bedroom, bath, and den. It leads to the utility room, storage, and a light-filled garage with glass doors. The materials throughout are of the utmost quality. The floors are fir, the doors are walnut, and the cabinets are zebra wood. The custom pivot front door is Cherry wood. The tile in the bathrooms is from India, the countertops are a specialty Vetrazzo and Caesarstone Blizzard, and Telluride granite. The appliances are Wolf and Subzero. Most windows are Loewen Douglas Fir triple-pane windows. For a complete list of all the materials and details of the home, please see the handout. Energy efficiency was very important to the homeowner. The initial investment of a geothermal system for cooling and heating, and an extensive solar system will pay dividends for years to come. The exterior stone walls are expertly constructed with stone quarried from a Utah mountain at 11000-foot elevation. The premium metal siding is a changing-color-siding from Western Decking in Arizona. The outdoor kitchen, Argentinian grill and pizza oven are enclosed with the same beautiful stone. The entire property is impressive and unique, as well as very functional and convenient.The 1090 square foot guest house has 1 full bath, bedroom & sleeping loft plus full kitchen and laundry room. It provides for a variety of lifestyles and works well as a second home or a year around place to live in the midst of the incredible Escalante canyons and in the Grand Staircase National Monument.
