Designed by the Utah-based architect Robert McArthur for the author, the 42-room architectural marvel measures a massive 21,548 square feet. The picture-perfect site sits at the base of the Wasatch Mountains, and captures views of the valley below, including the campus of Brigham Young University.

Built in 1996, the two-story home features seven bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and walls of glass and skylights that bring natural light into every room. It also boasts soaring ceilings, ornate decor, and carved and hand-painted elements throughout. An elevator connects the floors.

On the main level, an oversized living room with a fireplace looks out onto walls of glass. A formal dining room adjoins a great room with a kitchen and family room, and features dramatic views from an enormous deck that runs the length of home.

A two-story library includes a balcony and plenty of room to house all the author’s bestselling books.

In addition, the layout features an office, butler’s pantry, and linen pantry. The spacious main floor master suite offers dual closets, a jetted tub, kitchenette, two-story fireplace, and automatic blinds.

You can take a dip year-round in the enormous indoor swimming pool, surrounded by glass doors and skylights, plus shower rooms. The area also includes a basketball court, complete with an electronic scoreboard.

Other amenities include a separate apartment, a playroom with a nursery rhyme theme, a home gym, sauna, walk-out daylight basement, and six-car garage.
