50,000 Sq Ft Alone in a Utah Canyon. Good Luck.
At the end of Hobble Creek Canyon in Springville, Utah, one of the largest private residences in the United States is asking $12,900,000 after a massive price reduction. Fifty thousand, seven hundred and thirty-eight square feet. Six bedrooms. Fourteen bathrooms. A lazy river. A two-lane bowling alley. A 27-seat theater. One hundred and fifty acres. Reddit's primary question: what was the goal here? Have a wedding venue that you also live in?
The Amenities, Which Take a While to List
The grand entryway features 20-foot ceilings, a statement chandelier, and dual staircases. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Wasatch Mountains. The indoor pool complex alone includes a waterslide, waterfall, lazy river, rope swing, hot tub, children's area, and outdoor kitchen. Additional amenities: basketball court, two-lane bowling alley, 27-seat theater, sauna, fitness center, game room, children's playroom, and a designated shooting range area. The 150 acres offer room for horse stables and trails, and the surrounding canyon provides access to hiking, ATV riding, mountain biking, hunting, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. A private airport is 35 minutes away. Salt Lake City is about an hour. The home has six bedrooms and fourteen bathrooms, which means the ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms is more than two to one, a fact that raises its own quiet questions about how this building was conceived.
One Man, Wandering the Massive Halls, Sighing
Reddit processed this listing in real time and arrived at a range of conclusions. One commenter immediately pictured a single man wandering the enormous hallways, sighing. Another said they would be terrified alone in this house at night. A third — more optimistically — noted they would be absolutely thrilled to live there alone if someone simply gave it to them. One commenter observed that they could live with twenty people in this house and never cross paths, and suggested coordinating via group text: "let's meet in the bowling alley." The listing describes this as suitable for use as a primary home, vacation retreat, or corporate getaway. Reddit identified a fourth option: a wedding venue you happen to sleep in. The price has already been reduced significantly. The halls remain very long.
