Robert Redford lived in multiple locations in Utah, with significant residences including a home in Sundance, Utah, where he passed away, and a 30-acre horse ranch in Charleston, Utah, named Horse Whisper Ranch. He first put down roots in Utah in 1961 by purchasing two acres of land in Provo Canyon. He purchased the Timp Haven ski resort in 1969, which he later renamed Sundance Mountain Resort. At Sundance, he developed a strong connection with the area, which became a central part of his life for over six decades. Redford and his wife also had a Utah mountain home near Sundance Mountain Resort, surrounded by pine forests and natural beauty. He was deeply involved with the community and environment of Utah, seeing it as a peaceful escape from the superficiality of Los Angeles.
