Home #7 - Spud Retreat

3052 N. Snow Canyon Pkwy. #73, St. George, UT

Well for kind of a silly house name, the "Spud Retreat" proved to be one of the more lavish homes on the tour.  The owners had this house custom built and they apparently fancied the theme of "grass" because the form and silhouette of grass was carried throughout starting with the doorbell...

Exhibit A. Grass/Leaf Doorbell.

Cool fireplace with a viking Native American sculpture spotlighted.

Asymmetrical natural stone above the counter sink basin.  Me likey.

The semi-flush mount lighting fixture is actually pretty boring but the cool circular tray ceiling is nice!

Ok this was scary.  This little wrought iron "screen" was actually not attached to anything so when guests come in and lean on it, they'll fall right down the stairs!

Gorgeous views of red rocks out back.  This is why you come to live in St. George!

I really like the number of recessed lights all over the kitchen area.

Some curvy, mountain-like details in the stone work above the TV and fire place.  Not my taste, but I can appreciate the $$ that went into that no doubt!

Nice little pool and jacuzzi out back.  No one out here calls it a jacuzzi I noticed...everyone calls it a spa?

Gorgeous glass and copper tiles in the shower!

Carrying on with the nature theme...branches and vines as the stair rail.

Nice theater room.  Every (nearly) million dollar house should have one of these.

A little cove in the basement turned into a John Deere playroom for kids.  That's cute.  

Yeah I just LOVE this window seat that perfectly fits the contour of the room.  I am sure this little baby was custom made and therefore lots of $$$.  But well worth it!

Cool "mountain" pattern in the shower tiles.

Fountains shoot into the pool.  If I were a kid I'd play with that feature all day.

And the piece de resistance...a twig toilet paper holder.  Yep they totally "natured" this place up.

The Verdict:
