Robert Redford’s share devastating story about his wife where she lived when they met.
Mansion Global has learnt that visual artist Sibylle Szaggars Redford, the wife of actor Robert Redford, advertised her opulent mountain residence near Sundance, Utah, for $3.99 million on Monday.
Surrounded by clean mountain air, Rocky Mountain pines, and breathtaking vistas of Mount Timpanogos, sits a three-story mansion on Balsam Drive. The inside of the house is centered on a triple-height living area that blurs the line between indoor and outdoor space with a wall of windows overlooking the unspoiled surroundings.
The house was bought by Szaggars Redford in the 1980s, exactly one mile from where she first met
the Hollywood star at the Sundance Resort. For more than 50 years, the actor was the owner of the
lodge that gave rise to the Sundance Film Festival.
After purchasing Timp Haven, a ski resort on Mount Timpanogos’ slopes, in 1968, Redford
renamed it Sundance in honor of the part he performed in the 1969 Oscar-winning picture “Butch
Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” which he continued to love even after decades in the industry.
The estate has been Szaggars Redford’s refuge, the source of inspiration for a great deal of her
artwork, and the driving force behind her conservation efforts in the years since she bought it,
according to Jaisa Bishop, a broker with Windermere Real Estate/Luxury Portfolio International,
who is holding the listing.Bishop claimed that she “used it perpetually throughout the years as a
space to refuel and for inspiration.”
The 1.43-acre property features four bedrooms, a lower-level guest apartment with a kitchenette,
sitting space, and private terrace overlooking the pines, as well as many decks with views in various
directions.
Szaggars Redford, who was not immediately reachable for comment, used the bottom floor as a
workstation and art studio, but according to Bishop, she has been spending most of her time lately
in Northern California, where the couple resides.
