The HGTV Dream Home 2012 contest is finally underway and one lucky winner will get the prize of a lifetime - a modern, western ranch in Park City, Utah. The picturesque location is ideal for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

The 4,000-square foot home features features five covered decks with connecting boardwalks, an outdoor living room and hot tub, and a changing room with fishing accessories. The house includes three bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, a dedicated entertainment room and a gourmet chef's kitchen.

Situated along the banks of the Provo River, the house also boasts stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and meadows. The home was designed to compliment the natural landscape. A natural color scheme, rock walls, wood flooring and large windows make for a stunning abode.
