Come on In: Exploring a rancher’s paradise in the lush valley of New Harmony

SOUTHERN UTAH — If the American dream is owning a home, then the dream of a homeowner in the American West is owning a ranch.

Presented by Margie Hare with Summit Sotheby’s International Realty, “Come on In” is a new show opening the doors to Southern Utah’s most exquisite properties. In this episode, Hare tours a unique private ranch at the doorstep of Zion National Park.

Explore this one-of-a-kind ranch estate with realtor Margie Hare in this episode of “Come on In” in the media player above.

One of the most expensive and striking properties currently available in Washington County, this rancher’s paradise boasts over 800 acres of fertile farmland along with its very own natural history museum. The sprawling Tudor-style home encompasses 13,000 square feet and 11 bedrooms, each featuring a different theme. From Ralph Lauren and Laura Ashley to French country and Paris, it’s a buffet of beautiful designer spaces rich with personality.

There are endless places to escape, including the sunroom overlooking the tranquil private pond.

“I could spend every morning here,” Hare said.

It’s said that the kitchen is the heart of every home, and this one has three full-size kitchens. The four-story estate would make a perfect corporate retreat or bed and breakfast. It’s also the ideal setting for a countryside wedding.

Even more fascinating than this one-of-a-kind property are its owners, Garth and Jerri Frehner. They’re successful business owners and avid hunters with a comprehensive taxidermy collection that rivals any wildlife museum.

The ranch is currently listed by Jeri Gressman with eCore Premier realty. The house recently sold, but 650 acres of land are still up for grabs, and the Frehners will even throw in some cows and ranching equipment. It’s only a half hour’s drive from St. George, but the setting feels like another world.

“There’s no place on Earth like New Harmony with Zion National Park as your background,” Gressman said.
