racken set the stage this year with one of the most glorious and glamorous homes in the parade. This home was called the "Hermosa Vista Verde", which means the "Beautiful Green View". Once you enter the great room it is no surprise why it is called that. The view is simply amazing. A 42 foot long curved glass wall lets you peer out, as if to forever and ever. Looking through the glass, you see an infinity pool rising above and reflecting the luxurious Sand Hollow Golf Course and the spectacular red cliffs setting. If we are talking Zen, this home has the ultimate in peace of mind.

he Southern Utah Parade is never one to disappoint. Every year the builders show their magic and build a feast for the eyes. I had high expectations even in this down economy and was not let down. Here is how our tour went.

uhaye is an amazing destination on its own. The name Tuhaye translates to “the good land” for a great reason. With the champion Mark O’Meara designed golf course, steps to the Jordanelle Reservoir, only 15 minutes to downtown Park City and world class ski resorts as your backyard... It is obvious why builder Josh Phillips of Aspen Valley Homes decided to build this magnificent dream home here.

ountiful, the name says it all. Bountiful is a place where you are surrounded by mountains and have endless views of the valley below. The hillsides are lush and green and the trees here are numerous. Downtown Salt Lake City is only a short 15 minute drive around the point, yet feels like it is miles from this heavenly spot. What else could you expect of a place named Bountiful?
