A Rare Equestrian Property in Draper’s Galena Hills

This is the kind of property that doesn’t come up often. A 4,788-square-foot rambler on 3/4 of an acre in Draper’s Galena Hills neighborhood—zoned for horses, with a 32x36 barn, direct access to bridle trails and the Jordan River Parkway, and enough garage/shop space for 8 vehicles plus RV parking. It’s an outdoor enthusiast’s dream, and it went under contract in just 4 days.

Inside, the home features three master suites (each with a private bathroom), a theater room, a second kitchenette perfect for in-law or guest apartment use, a home office/gym flex space, and a show-stopping primary suite with its own fireplace, reading nook, built-in closet organization, jetted soaking tub, and two-person walk-in shower. Vaulted ceilings and fresh finishes throughout give the home a modern, open feel.

The location is classic Draper—less than 5 minutes to the freeway, walking distance to Galena Park with multiple access points to the Jordan River Parkway trail system, and just 5–7 minutes from shopping and dining. Mountain views on three sides of the backyard. No HOA.

How the Rebate Worked

As the buyer’s agent on this transaction, I provided full representation: property evaluation, negotiation strategy, inspection coordination, and closing management. Everything a traditional buyer’s agent provides—nothing skipped, nothing cut.

The difference? At closing, I rebated approximately $17,000—50% of the buyer’s agent commission—directly back to the buyer. That money went toward reducing their out-of-pocket closing costs on a conventional loan, making an already great deal even better.

This is what DiscountAgent.com does on every buyer transaction. Full-service representation. Half the commission back. No catch, no fine print. On a property like this, the rebate is substantial—money that would have otherwise stayed with the agent at a traditional brokerage.
