About the host
Hosted by April Morrison
I live in Florida caring for my husband, but I dream of being in Utah. I bought the Steel House and the Adobe House as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity although I can't use them much right now. I want to be in Teasdale when I can, leave the property to my grandchildren, and, in the meantime, make it available to others so they can enjoy what I consider the most beautiful unspoiled country in America. April Morrison, my partner in running the Steel House and the Adobe House, lives locally and will take care of you well. We are united in wanting to make each house a place of refuge and a base for adventure. I am a retired college professor. In our younger days, my husband and I loved hiking, which is how we found Teasdale in 1995. We returned as often as we could until my husband (now 97) got less mobile. Some of my best memories are of hiking and 4-wheel driving in Capitol Reef and around Torrey and Teasdale. In those days too I wrote travel pieces for the New York Times, including reports about hiking in Yosemite and to Macchu Picchu, shopping for rugs in Istanbul, and living in a houseboat on the Seine. I never wrote about Teasdale because I wanted to keep it to myself.
Why they chose this property
A refuge in the high-desert West, spacious, beautiful, elegant, well-equipped, the ranch is located in the beautiful Teasdale valley, with spectacular views, including the bright green agricultural fields, with their dancing irrigation water, and the majestic landmarks of Capitol Reef, changing with every minute's light. With the amazing rock formations all around, even the 8-minute trip to the general store in Torrey is a treat. This is the real west: in fall the cattle are herded down Teasdale Road back from their summer pastures in the mountains. Our fields grow alfafa to feed them. The landscape is the landscape of John Ford movies. This is a rare part of America -- authentic, beautiful, unspoiled.
What makes this property unique
Clear air, astonishing night skies, everchanging light. Great hiking and adventure driving. You could spend years exploring Capitol Reef, the least crowded of the five great Utah national parks. One hour's drive up Boulder Mt to Hell's Backbone Bar and Grill, the famous restaurant. View ranching life up close all around you. Remarkable chance to pick fruit from pioneer Mormon orchards at Capitol Reef in the fall.
