million to build
If you enjoy scaling mountains, scuba diving or splashing around
in water parks, this expansive swimming pool shows you can do it all from the
comfort of your own home - as long as you have an extra $2 million
floating around.
The luxurious, 140ft-long pool in
Springville, Utah features a towering man-made mountain, five waterfalls, a
lazy river and is deep enough for its owners to practice their scuba diving.
The feat of creative and
engineering genius featured on Animal Planet's 'The Pool Master'.

Making a splash: A massive
man-made mountain stands in the middle of a family's swimming pool in Utah

Secrets: It features a 60ft water
slide that goes through the mountain and into the pool below

Stunning: From the top, there are
stunning views of the landscape, as well as the expansive swimming pool
The mountain is crafted from reed
bar, metal beams and 350 yards of concrete painted to look like the real thing,
and inside there's a 60ft waterslide that spits swimmers out into the pool
below.
The man-made mountain 'emulates
the natural surroundings perfectly', Anthony Archer-Wills, the host of The Pool
Master, says on the episode.
The tallest of the five
waterfalls stretches to 20ft and forces more than 3,000 gallons of water per
minute over the edge. The falls can also be reached from nooks inside the
mountain.
Atop the massive boulder are
bridges, pathways and steps that lead to the waterslide and give views over the
140ft by 60ft pool - which holds 360,000 gallons of water in total - in all its
glory.

Luxury: Swimmers that are scuba
dive certified can also descend to 26ft through an entrance inside

Exploring: The underwater route
then brings the swimmer back out to the main swimming pool

Hidden away: Inside the mountain,
there is also a kitchen with a grill and granite topped surfaces

Lair: There is also a whole
changing room with showers, lockers and a bathroom for freshening up
But the mountain has more inside
than cement and the occasional secret passageway - it also houses a kitchen
with granite counter tops, an eight burner grill and a refrigerator.
A separate room holds changing
rooms, lockers and a shower.
Encircling the entire pool is a
300ft lazy river, which is propelled by jets.
Or if you fancy being a little
more active, you can don a wet suit and descend to as deep as 26 feet to check
out the bottom of the pool.
If you take this route, you enter
from an excluded entry point inside the mountain then take a 54ft long and 5ft
wide tunnel into the pool. Not bad for a home nearly 1,000 miles from the
ocean.
The show did not name the family
lucky enough to own the pool.
