bits of inspiration – #98.

Finally getting back to the blog after a long holiday break from posting. This first post of 2017 features a truly unique home in Southern Utah being auctioned later this month. The Utah Cliff House is, as the name suggests, built into a cliff in the Utah desert near Arches National Park. The 2,100 square foot residence includes an additional 12 acres of property and comes equipped with modern amenities despite its remote location. The original architects and owners of the home are looking to auction their remarkable property to a buyer who shares their passion for the land and history of the site.

While I don’t think I’d be the right buyer, I have to say that seeing these images has made me nostalgic for the trip I took last year to Arches National Park. Check out the video below for a tour of the home and its surrounding property. Enjoy!

I think the American West really attracts me because it’s romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.

Last week I went on a mini-vacation to Utah and had the opportunity to visit Arches National Park in Moab. I’d never been to Arches or any of the other parks in Southern Utah and was really excited to spend a couple days hiking and taking in the incredible scenery. The pictures below really do not do justice to the beauty of this place so if you have the chance to visit I highly recommend it. Enjoy!
