A Rare Half-Acre Retreat at the Foot of the Mountains Rarely does an east-side property offer this combination of 0.51 acres of land, a remarkably secluded backyard, breathtaking mountain views, rich history, and convenient access to the best of the East Bench. This incredibly charming cabin-style house sits at the base of the Wasatch on a generous lot with the potential to build your dream home, either by replacing the existing house or retaining it as an ADU. Additional property improvements are possible, all subject to applicable zoning and approvals. Steeped in history, it's one of the oldest houses in Sandy and was remodeled in 2003, giving it a character that's hard to replicate. The interior is finished in lovely warm wood, making it feel like a well-equipped mountain cabin while still offering the conveniences of a city. The expansive yard combines traditional lawn with large trees and natural vegetation, creating a surprisingly rural feel. The exceptionally private backyard has a spacious patio, fire pit, and space for furniture, making it a blissful place to relax or entertain. The covered front porch offers yet another area to lounge, read, and reset. There's a large corral in back, a chicken coop, and plenty of room for a garden, animals, and other uses, with up to two horses permitted on the property. Little Cottonwood Canyon and the Wasatch are minutes away, providing incredible access to skiing, hiking, and year-round mountain recreation. Bell Canyon Park is a short walk, while nearby Bell Canyon Gully has trails that make you forget you're in the burbs. 11400 South provides easy access to I-15, Crescent View TRAX, Wasatch Boulevard, and countless shops, restaurants, and services in Sandy and Draper. It's a little slice of mountain heaven in the heart of the East Bench!
