Venture capitalist Vinny Smith, founder of Toba Capital, has placed his riverfront estate in Oakley, Utah, on the market for $30 million. Smith is also the former CEO of Quest Software, which was acquired by Dell for $2.4 billion in 2012. 

In addition to the main 16,800-square-foot home on the banks of the Weber River, the property called Riverbend Ranch comes with a helicopter pad, wine cellar, and movie room.

"There is so much to do on-property that it feels like your own private oasis." The entire estate is 1,918 acres of Utah land.

Its close proximity to the river allows for easy access to fishing and other outdoor activities.

"We can fly fish in the river while the kids go tubing," Smith said. "We hike, ride ATVs, snow mobile, [and] we even go dog sledding."

The home has eight bedrooms and nine baths.

The Smiths have owned the estate since 2013.

"We saw a video of the property in an email around Christmas time in 2012, [and] we got invited to use [the house] for New Year's Eve, and we bought it the first week we arrived," Smith said.

Listing agent Paul Benson, of Engel & Völkers, said   that prospective buyers can enjoy the privacy the property offers. "[It's] a true mountain, western experience while still 25 minutes from Park City," he said.

Also among the property's draws are its craftsmanship as well as the sliding walls that open the dining room up to the river bank.

On deciding to sell the property, Smith said: "We have very busy schedules around work, kids, charity, and travel, that we felt we weren't in Utah enough during the year to really appreciate this amazing place. It has been a hard decision to put it on the market, but we are hoping the next owners can spend more time at the house and on the ranch."
