Professor Valley Ranch – Professor Valley, Utah

The ranch is designed to create a relaxed and comfortable character and includes a 5,800 SF house, 3,500 SF shop and 2,200 SF stable.

Buildings are positioned to enhance the spatial relationship with existing vegetation. Views of the ranch are gradually revealed to approaching visitors through breaks in existing tree lines.
