A

handsome gem in the crown of the 2009 Utah County Parade of Homes, Benchmark Construction's "Mountain Tranquility" is an immaculate living space designed, built, and finished with an attention to comfort and detail that sets it apart. Situated on a pleasant and picturesque creek in one of Alpine's most beautiful and exclusive areas, Mountain Tranquility is the product of eight months of intensive creative and technical work under the management of Benchmark's Joel Farrar. An impressive remodel, the home was completely torn down and re-created in a stunning vision of natural elements and a rustic yet luxurious atmosphere.

This ample 13,000 square feet home is as much an inspiration to its mountain surroundings as it is a product of the environment's natural majesty. From the nuances of exterior landscaping to the most particular choices of material and color indoors, the home compliments the distinct quality of Alpine's rugged terrain, as well as its flora and fauna. A grand family room comprises a major focal point of the home, and options for entertainment are limitless with a large, beautifully furnished private theater visible from the on-site gym. Sports and fitness fans are sure to love this dedicated space for working out, complimented by a racquetball court and a spacious, inviting indoor pool house.

A large and well-appointed gourmet kitchen makes a fantastic setting for memorable meals and clutter-free cooking, while seven bedrooms afford a peaceful night's rest in style and comfort. The home's master bedroom suite is a modern marvel of construction and design, comprised of a broad and open space transformed by large and tasteful windows looking out onto a storybook landscape of emerald trees, bold mountaintops, and dazzling skies.

The elegance and harmony of Mountain Tranquility is present in every detail...

Light plays an important role in the home's interpretation of luxury living; with vaulted ceilings, perfectly chosen paints, unobtrusive and stylish lighting fixtures, and imposing windows paneled and dressed to echo the home's aesthetic elements, light becomes a prominent feature of the design. With rooms and facilities to accommodate the modern lifestyle and infuse it with convenience and class, as well as efficient, energy star-compliant appliances and mechanical systems that deliver optimum performance with a minimum of waste, Mountain Tranquility is a dream home that's perfect for the nature lover as well as those looking to escape the city.

The elegance and harmony of Mountain Tranquility is present in every detail of design, from quality hardwoods and rich carpets to unique cabinetry and counter tops. Natural stones are subtly and beautifully incorporated into the home's structure, and materials that embrace the natural world in terms of substance, texture, and tone reign supreme throughout. In every nuance and around every corner, the prestige and peaceful balance of the home delights the senses and soothes the soul. Mountain Tranquility quietly revolutionizes the art of living among nature, making it ideal for homeowners who want to get down to earth in comfort and style.
