An address, and nothing else on record
5942 West Horizon Drive, in Highland, Utah, stands on old Lake Bonneville sand left when the ancient lake dropped for the last time. Platted in 2004 as part of Blessing Rock At Beacon Hill, the lot carried a house by 2005. Ownership passed through builders, lenders, and six later owners, with no other event recorded against the property.
Lake Bonneville sand underlies a house with no history
The ground under 5942 West Horizon Drive formed long before any road had a name. This part of Highland sits on old lake sand. Lake Bonneville laid it down as the lake rose to its highest shoreline and then pulled back again. The lake covered much of what is now Utah Valley. When it dropped for the last time, it left flat benches of sand and silt across the foothills. That sand is still there, a few feet under the yard.
No fire, no trial, no burial. West Horizon Drive and North Beacon Hill Boulevard cross nearby. Both street names are newer than the ground they sit on. They are part of the grid laid out as Highland filled in as a bedroom community for the Salt Lake and Provo valleys. The house at this address carries no listed date of construction and no named builder in what survives.
What is here is simple: a residential lot, a street corner, and sand laid down by a vanished lake. The house stands on ground that has no other story to tell.
A developer platted the lot as Blessing Rock
Before the house existed, the lot existed only on paper. Jewkes Brothers Construction platted it that year as part of a subdivision called Blessing Rock At Beacon Hill. The name came from a developer's map, not from anything that happened on the ground. It was a name chosen to sell lots.
The empty lot changed hands before anyone moved in
Over the next several months, the empty lot changed hands again and again. Jewkes Brothers sold it to Blessing Rock LLC. Blessing Rock LLC sold it to Home Building Consultants LLC. Somewhere in that stretch, a house went up. County records list a construction year of 2005, but no builder's name survives with it.
Each transfer was paperwork. Nobody lived here yet. The house was built and the lot was sold before anyone spent a night in it.
A house was financed and sold before it was lived in
On January 10, 2005, Home Building Consultants LLC sold the finished house to Michael H Brown. Days later, the deed reversed. Brown transferred the property back to Home Building Consultants LLC, recorded that March. Then, on March 11, Home Building Consultants LLC sold it again, this time to Frederik Perfumo, who took out a construction loan from Holladay Bank & Trust the same day.
A lien followed weeks later, filed by Staker & Parson Companies, a materials supplier, against the property. It was the kind of paperwork that trails behind a new build. None of it points to a person living there. It points to a house being finished, financed, and passed along before it had a history of its own.
Six owners held the house without incident
Frederik Perfumo sold the house to Brett Munden in 2006. Munden held it seven years before selling to Rourk McRae in 2013. McRae sold it that same December to Robert B and Laurel S Vukich. The Vukiches held the property for over a decade, moving it into a living trust in 2025.
Six owners, one house, no events. Each name is a signature on a deed, not a story.
The sand is still under the yard, and the address is still just an address.
Every person, building and event in this story opens into its own dig in the app — and it will dig the ground you are standing on instead, wherever that is.
