Inside Katherine Heigl’s Secluded $10.6M Utah Sanctuary

Few homes feel quite as connected to their surroundings as Katherine Heigl’s private retreat in Oakley, Utah. Set among the Wasatch Mountains, the secluded estate marries Alpine charm with contemporary luxury – both of which pay homage to its surrounding landscape. Now, for those with a spare $10.6 million, the property is officially on the market.

Hidden within Maple Ridge Ranches, the custom-ranch-style home was created by the actress and her husband, musician Josh Kelley, as a private escape surrounded by nature. Needless to say, it fits the specifications.

The 8,000-square-foot residence blends traditional mountain architecture with a more refined approach, bringing together timber, stone, and modern decor across its interiors. Let’s take a closer look around.

Upon entering the home, its scale is immediately apparent: vaulted ceilings, expansive living spaces, and a 30-foot steel fireplace anchor the main great room, setting the perfect base for the rustic decor to impress. But, as mentioned, there are modern elements too.

With her clever living room lighting (like this pendant from Wayfair), camel-hued skirted sofas, and mint accent chairs, Katherine designed a space that feels comfortable and lived-in despite its impressive proportions.

Beyond the living room, the interiors continue that same balance of ranch-style comfort and modern craftsmanship. The home features six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, along with a custom kitchen, a dedicated movie theater, a media room, and a private spa wing complete with a sauna and a multi-head steam shower.

The primary suite offers a private retreat within the home, with a generous bedroom, a separate sitting area, an oversized walk-in closet, and a bathroom featuring a wall-fed waterfall that exemplifies the concept of a spa bathroom.

Outside, the home features expansive terraces and a heated pool positioned to frame the mountain views (from rattan accent chairs, where 70s-style once again meets contemporary outdoor furniture trends).

Alongside the main residence, the estate includes a number of distinctive spaces that make it feel personal, including a hand-rebuilt listening shack made from 200-year-old reclaimed oak. The retreat was designed for quiet evenings spent listening to records while taking in the surrounding mountain views.

Another detached studio with its own bathroom, water supply, and heating also served as Katherine’s art studio and her husband’s leather atelier.

‘The views are unobstructed and cannot be built out, and the unique positioning of the property cannot be replicated,’ says Paul Benson of Engel & Völkers Park City, who currently holds the listing.
