Check Out a $6M Mansion Carved Into Salt Lake City’s Mount Olympus

A 13,588-square-foot home in an exclusive neighborhood of Salt Lake City, UT, is the only home that has been or ever will be allowed to be built on the 9,573-foot Mount Olympus, a popular day hike for locals.

It’s one thing to own a home on top of a mountain, but how about a home carved right into the side of a hill? That’s exactly what makes this 13,588-square-foot home in the exclusive Olympus Cove neighborhood of Salt Lake City, UT, so appealing. The mountainside mansion is now on the market for $6 million. Known as “Monte Olimpo,” it’s the only home that has been or ever will be allowed to be built on the 9,573-foot Mount Olympus, a popular day hike for locals.

Listed with Marvin Jensen of Windermere Real Estate/Luxury Portfolio International, the residence was snapped up by the current owner in 2003, shortly after its design and construction were completed. An architectural marvel reminiscent of Tuscany, the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home, set on a 15-acre lot, is a true entertainer’s paradise.

The garage holds six cars. There’s also plenty of additional room for automobiles in the 300-yard driveway. The home has a total of seven outdoor terraces, and each of the bedrooms comes with its own stone-tiled balcony. One terrace hosts the hot tub. Perks inside include a 150-bottle wine cellar (chiseled right into the granite of the mountain), a home theater, and two master suites. There’s also a wellness center that features an indoor pool, juice bar, Jacuzzi, massage area, and a sauna and steam room.

The low-maintenance landscape, with pine and aspen trees, is also a plus. The two kitchens will please a culinary enthusiast or any buyer who enjoys large-scale entertaining. And for folks who love to control their entire experience with the touch of a button, this smart home allows for easy control of sound, lighting, heating, and cooling.

Although it’s carved into the side of a mountain—and offers plenty of privacy—the home isn’t out in the boonies. It’s about 20 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport, and a five-minute drive from schools. However, it’s also really secluded, since it is the highest residence on the mountain.
