70 Desert Solitaire Rd Moab, UT 84532

SERENITY AND SOLITUDE- a secluded 20-acre equestrian estate in the historic Pack Creek Ranch, where Ed Abbey wrote his esteemed "Desert Solitaire" and many others. Only 20 minutes from the convenience of downtown Moab and another 10 degrees cooler than the surrounding valley, you can find calm in the mountains while still enjoying the high desert beauty. A cinder-block built four-stall horse barn with concrete floors and stall mats, complete with tack room, wash rack, corrals, and open arena space make an easy landing pad for equestrian enthusiasts. Ride endless horse trails right from your back door and continue on as far as Colorado via the surrounding BLM and Manti-La Sal National Forest trails. With half a mile of Pack Creek frontage and miles of hiking trails all within the property lines, there is even more to explore on the waterfront and beyond, with national and state parks all within an hour's drive. Full RV hookups, plenty of parking space, and a 3-car attached open garage allow ample room for trailers, campers, snowmobiles, and more- you can truly pick your own adventure! A partial basement and several storage closets provide all the room you need for gear and more. The southwest-style home pays homage to the desert and the mountain, with its adobe exterior and exposed timbers throughout. Newly installed solar panels provide peace of mind and cost-efficiency and ductless mini-splits throughout the house provide individualized heating and cooling in each living space. As you enter the home, the beautiful Mexican Saltillo tiles welcome you and guide you from room to room. You can entertain with ease in a kitchen fit for a chef with a 48", 6-burner Wolf gas range and grill, with dual ovens, heat lamps, and full exhaust hood, alongside a built-in rotating shelf pantry, Sub-Zero fridge, a near-silent Bosch dishwasher, and a huge stainless-steel sink where you can enjoy a window full of mountain views. A second walk-in pantry offers additional storage and a second freezer. Passing through the kitchen, you will find a guest bathroom, complete with painted Talaverra-style sink and its own shower, and a quaint sitting space with vintage wood-burning stove. You are welcomed into a grand living area- "the atrium", with natural light pouring in from the clerestory windows and multiple levels of lounging space for your guests and loved ones. Built in sleeper-couch reading nook below, and above- a comfy loft, fit for a guest room or office den. A kiva fireplace spans the full 2 stories and joins the entire space together with warmth and Santa-Fe style. Two full walk-in closets flank the built-in entertainment center shelves, providing even more storage. Down the hall, you'll find a generous guest room, filled with built-in shelves, exposed log beams, and an adjoining half-bath with laundry. Continuing on, the primary suite is tucked away quietly, but doesn't skimp on breathtaking views of the Moab Rim and valley, the surrounding oak tree grove, and a private patio to take it all in. A full 5-piece bathroom, complete with jetted tub and dual-fauceted walk-in shower, a plentiful walk-in closet, and a third wood-burning fireplace provide all the comforts you need for a relaxing end to the day. Find yourself drawn to the outdoors by several patios surrounding the entire home. Enjoy your mornings watching the sunrise glow around Mount Tukuhnikivatz, and bask from the 1,100 gallon built-in swim spa in the evenings. The pergola, built from local logs felled right from the property, provides a cozy space for long conversations or watching the variety of wildlife- deer, elk, owls, and more- that find their way through your own private landscape. A home that feels as much a part of the mountains as it is within it, you will find endless opportunity to enjoy many "seasons in the wilderness" here.
