Custom Home On 40 Private Acres Overlooking Zion

Plan your retreat in our southwestern home situated on 40 secluded acres with breathtaking views of Zion National Park. Sensational sunsets from the deck in the evening are a prelude to phenomenal star gazing. Every window in the home offers a "million dollar" view. Parking for boats/ATVs and boarding facilities for horses are available. Nearby access to BLM trails for hiking, world class mountain biking, ATVs and horseback riding. Close proximity to Zion, Lake Powell and North Rim Grand Canyon.

The space:

As you pass through the private gate at the entrance of Mount Zion View Ranch, you will have unobstructed views beyond the horse pasture of Zion National Park and Smithsonian Butte. You will have a sense of peace as you drive along the well maintained gravel lane that will lead you through cedar pine groves to the home on the hillside of the upper 40 acres. The site of this exceptional and unique home was thoughtfully selected to display the most spectacular views of the valley. If you are looking for a private retreat, this is the place for you. As you ascend the outdoor stairs to the deck and upper entrance of this well built home, you will be treated to a spectacular overview of the property. The front main door will take you into the well decorated and comfortable great room with floor to ceiling windows. The great room sofa can comfortably seat 10 people. The kitchen is large and well equipped. Also on the upper floor is a large master suite with a king bed, private access to the deck and indoor jacuzzi tub. There is also a secondary bedroom with a queen size bed and the large sofa in the great room also folds out into a sofa sleeper. The main floor laundry room is adjacent to the kitchen and has access to a back deck with stairs to the back yard. The lower level of the home can be accessed from interior stairs or from an outside entrance. It has the "horse lovers" bedroom with a queen bed and the "country room" with a queen bed. There is a full bath, kitchenette and additional large great room with a piano on the lower level.

Mount Zion View Ranch is an outstanding place to find personal peace in a retreat from the world or an ideal home base for exploring southern Utah and northern Arizona. We are located within 40 minutes of Zion National Park. World class JEM bike trailhead is less than 15 minutes away. Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Snow Canyon, Pine Valley, Brian Head, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Kanab, Kolob, Jacob's Lake and Sand Hollow Reservoir are all doable day trips. We are within 2 hours of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Toroweap Overlook, Lake Powell, Anetlope Canyon, and Bryce Canyon. Hurricane and St. George are your closest full-service towns. ATVs are available to rent in Hurricane for exploring Sand Hollow, Coral Pink Sand Dunes and Toroweap Overlook. Bike rentals are also available in Hurricane.

This is a stand out property that is well maintained, thoughtfully designed and tastefully decorated with panoramic views and a central location to the natural wonders of the region.

Guest access:

Guests will have access to entire home, laundry, BBQ, and 40 acre property to exclude horse corrals unless guests have made arrangements with hosts to board horses. ATV and boat parking are available.

Getting around:

A front wheel drive vehicle will be adequate for travel to Apple Valley throughout all seasons of the year. High clearance vehicles are great for exploring nearby Pink Coral Sand Dunes and Sunshine Route to Toroweap Overlook of the Grand Canyon.

Neighborhood description & distances to other recreational areas and towns:

Exactly what we needed
Beautiful views. Close enough to Zion to enjoy everything but remote. Screen shot the entry info log before you get to the property. Chances are fair that you won't have cell service (that was welcome) but wifi in the house was good. Host was super helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful views, well appointed house
My colleague and I had a great stay, the grounds were beautiful and it was a comfortable place to come home to after working nearby. Would be even better if we’d had more time to hang out at the house as there’s ample space for gathering for games or movies. Would 100 percent recommend.

A Serene Zion Retreat: Comfort, Beauty, and Unforgettable Views
Our stay at this VRBO was absolutely wonderful. The house was clean, tastefully decorated, and incredibly spacious. Each room was generously sized, and the two TV rooms were perfect for our family movie nights after our adventures in Zion and Bryce Canyon. The kitchen had all the utensils and cookware we needed, making home-cooked meals easy and enjoyable. The house provided the perfect balance of personal space for each guest and several cozy gathering areas for our entire group. We especially loved the patio overlooking Zion for breakfast and our evening card and Scrabble games. It made our stay so comfortable and relaxing. The secluded and quiet location was one of the biggest highlights, offering breathtaking views of Zion National Park from the upstairs patio. The star gazing was phenomenal, and we were even lucky enough to see the northern lights! It was truly an unforgettable experience. While the location is remote (just what we were looking for), being organized with supplies made the distance to town a non-issue. Curtis was amazing, always responding promptly to our inquiries about local spots and amenities. We are so grateful for our five-night stay and can't wait to return. Five stars! 🌟

Nice Location And Owner
The host is quite nice and welcoming. The house is quiet with great views. The house was roomy and well appointed with fast internet and smart TVs. There are actually 2 kitchens and more utensils, etc than you will ever need. We were surprised that while the listing states the home has AC, only the second floor has central air. The lower level has no supply or return vents and was stuffy. Thankfully we did not need the 1st floor space for our stay or this would have been a big issue. The home's front door had no operating lock. While the host was not concerned stating he's never locked the doors, no may not find this acceptable even given the remote site.

Fantastic Find
This property is a true gem, not to mention the beautiful home residing on it. Peaceful, incredible views, great location for a multitude of places to experience, Zion National Park in particular. Don't miss Snow canyon either. But many others as well. The hosts John, his son Curtis and his wife Carla were all so very friendly, helpful, and gracious, and always available. Carla provided a 13-page listing and description of places to visit and things to do (that is how we found Snow Canyon). You will not want to leave. As much as we highly expected to really enjoy our visit there based on everything we had read, it still exceeded our expectations. Don't let this one get away! Looking forward to returning in the future. Thank you John, Curtis, and Carla!
