YouTube star’s Utah estate with transforming indoor pool lists for $13.95m

YouTube star and real estate investor Kris Krohn has put his Utah mansion up for sale. The 28,446-sq-ft estate, commissioned in 2017, is listed for $13.95 million. The listing is handled by Paul Benson of Engel & Völkers Park City.

According to the listing, this residence has a feature that has “almost no parallel in North America”. The mansion has an indoor pool built on a hydraulic floor system inspired by The O Theater at the Bellagio. “On command, the pool descends, and the floor rises to form a column-free ballroom, ready for seated dinners, performances, productions, or private events at full scale,” the listing says.

Inside the Utah mansion

The estate spans 1.64 acres and has two connected wings. The family wing, measuring 8,500 sq ft, serves as the daily residence.

It has five bedrooms, a private office, a chef’s kitchen, a caretaker’s apartment, and a great room framed by double-height glass walls that capture the breathtaking views of the Wasatch Range.

The newer wing is where the scale becomes apparent. It has the pool and ballroom, a commercial-grade gym with a sparring ring for boxing and MMA, and a racquetball court. A spa also features a dry sauna, a steam room, a cold plunge, a float room, and a massage suite.

The wing also has an executive office with its own conference room and a second kitchen that opens straight into the ballroom.

A dedicated space for cars

Another highlight of the mansion is its carefully designed garage. It is a motorhead’s dream. The garage space measures more than 5,500 sq ft. “Most of it is a gallery for a car collection, with elevated display platforms and a lounge where friends can gather after a weekend drive. A 1,000-sq-ft RV garage with a 12-foot door keeps the motorhome or boat packed and ready for the next Lake Powell trip, and the family wing has its own three-car garage for everyday driving,” the listing says.

A separate RV garage accommodates a motorhome or boat, and the agent points to Lake Powell as the natural destination for the latter. According to the listing, it is “a visionary estate, built without compromise, for the buyer who recognises what it is”. The massive compound overlooks the valley, with breathtaking views of the Wasatch Range, Utah Lake, and Loafer Mountain. “What impresses me most is that it still feels like a home.

The family wing is separate, with its own kitchen, a great room with a two-storey wall of glass, and a hot tub on the deck above the valley. You can host a big event on Saturday night and wake up to a quiet house on Sunday morning,” the listing agent said.

Benson does not expect a holiday-home buyer. “Much of what our team sells in Park City is a second home, and this is the opposite. Nothing here is set up for a few weeks a year. You work here, train here, and host here every day.

Utah County is also where people live full-time and build their companies, so I expect the buyer to make this their main home. The one exception I can see is a buyer from out of state who wants a base in Utah that is big enough to bring everyone together several times a year,” he told the outlet.

He also has an ideal buyer in mind: “Someone who has built a business and wants everything in one place.”

“My guess is an entrepreneur or founder who already lives in Utah, most likely with a company in Utah County or Silicon Slopes, who works from home, trains every day, collects cars, and loves to host,” he added.Such a person would normally need an office, a gym, an event venue, and a separate building for the cars. This estate has all of them. “Either way, it will be someone who likes to bring people together, because that is what this home was built for.”
