Sale Announcement and Relocation Plans
Fashion designer and TV personality Tan France announced Tuesday that he, husband Rob, and their children will sell their North Cove home in Salt Lake City. The five-bedroom, 6,903-sq-ft Tudor house, completed in 2023, is listed at $7.5 million through Sotheby’s International Realty. The family plans to relocate to New York.
Background: From Utah Roots to an East-Coast Move
France moved to Salt Lake City before the house was built and lived there for more than a decade, meeting his husband Rob. In 2019 he said Utah helped him “escape from the extra life I have no desire to live,” but by 2024 he described life as a “bubble.” France, a naturalized U.S. citizen and television personality on Netflix’s *Queer Eye*, has amassed over 3.5 million Instagram followers, amplifying his public profile.
Property Profile & Market Data
The 3.36-acre North Cove lot offers 24/7 security, a glass atrium, heated driveway, home theater, and a 1,000-sq-ft custom closet. The interior includes a large laundry room and a gated community also imposes a $1,945 quarterly HOA fee. Annual taxes are about $25,000. Views of the Wasatch Mountains are highlighted in the listing.
Official Statements & Responses
In a social-media video, France said the house was “crazy about… our forever home” but the family chose to move east. He called Utah a “bubble” and described the upcoming change as “really exciting,” emphasizing a desire for new experiences.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
The article’s headline references a “$75 million” dream house, while the body and Sotheby’s listing state a price of $7.5 million. No clarification appears in the source material, leaving a discrepancy between the headline and the reported sale price.
