From Waterfront to Mountainside: Utah Luxury Homes
With its picturesque views of Jordanelle Reservoir and Wasatch mountain ranges, the Greater Park City area has proved to be a popular setting for luxury homes for almost two centuries.
Starting in May 1872, George Snyder and his family arrived in the mountain valley. Awed by the lush grasses and blazing wildflowers he christened the area, “…Park City, for it is a veritable park.” successful local merchants and business owners built fine homes in the Park City area, ranging from sprawling mansions to stately residences with classical and Gothic Revival elements. Bucolic towns throughout Park City, meanwhile, appealed to both summer vacationers and all-season sports enthusiasts, with wealthy families choosing Park City for their residences.
Today, there is an abundance of historic homes, as well as a robust inventory of modern & high-end properties in Park City, UT.
