In his 2026 State of the State address, Gov. Spencer Cox said he doesn’t want Utah to “become a state of renters,” but has he actually seen the housing market lately? Inspired by Zillow Gone Wild, here are some of the craziest homes for sale in Utah.
The Park City estate we featured two years ago has gone up from $47 million to $60 million but has retained its “Italian thermally-broken steel windows and doors, Croatian limestone, shou sugi ban-charred cypress, and full copper roof.”
A “Lord of the Rings” inspired home in Provo is on the market for $43 million with shire-like details and its own lake.
A 54-acre property in La Sal, Utah features a mobile home, five red rock caves (three of which make “promising living quarters”), off-grid infrastructure, and sweeping mountain views. All for under $1 million.
For $675,000, this empty lot (close to Liberty Park!) could be yours. So, again, not an actual house but the potential for up to four units under Salt Lake City’s current zoning laws.
A whole closet for your freaky a** jackalope. (Realtor.com)
Even though this $34.5 million Hyrum mansion sold in October, I had to feature it for its creepy animatronics and tunnels (??) that look eerily like the Backrooms.
