A
70,000-square-foot mansion in Utah's Hyrum is set to go under the hammer on Friday with starting bids expected up to $8 million. The resort-like property, known as Lazy R Ranch, boasts Disney-fied decor and was built by a wealthy tech founder six years ago.

    Located on a 154-acre ranch just over an hour north of Salt Lake City, the gargantuan home features eight bedrooms, vaulted ceilings, walk-in closets, and themed rooms that set it apart from other mansions. A "Swiss Family Robinson"-themed bunk room, a replica of Disneyland's Tiki Room, and a Frontierland-themed shooting range are just a few examples.

    The five-level main house was built in 2019 by Richard Spillman, who made his fortune when his software company was acquired by Motorola in 2016. Spillman envisioned the home as a colorful space for family and corporate retreats, with a focus on hosting large gatherings.

    The property also includes an underground wooden house, a guest house, and a five-bay shop. A unique feature is the unfinished pool barn, which rises 53 feet tall and spans 27,080 square feet, connected to the main house by a "Star Wars"-like tunnel. The listing agent describes the estate as "truly unlike anything else in the western United States," offering an unmatched combination of space, luxury, and versatility.

    The property was initially listed for $35 million but is now going under the hammer with starting bids expected up to $8 million. Online commenters have been vocal about their reactions to the home's unique decor choices, ranging from criticism to admiration.
