Are you looking for security and privacy as well as a ski in ski out property?  In Park City there are a few options available.  There are options at both Deer Valley Resort a skier only resort or The Canyons Resort Utahs largest ski resort.  Besides Park City being the easiest to get to ski resort community, it also offers some of the best ski in ski out gated communities.

At Deer Valley Resort which was named #1 Ski Resort by Ski Magazine in 2005, there is the Deer Crest community and Bald Eagle community.  The Deer Crest community is a newer gated community offering views of the Jordanelle Reservoir as well as ski in ski out luxury homes.  Because Deer Crest is a newer community the homes are newer with several even underconstruction so you can possibly still choose finishes you desire before completion.  Getting to Deer Crest from the Salt Lake International Airport is a breeze too.  From the Airport to the gate house you will not encounter a single stop light.   Home prices range from about 4 million to 25 million.  The Bald Eagle area at Deer Valley Resort is an older Gated Community located near the Silver Lake area and homes generally aren’t  new construction but very nice with incredible views.  Home prices here range from about 7.5 million to 13.6 million.

At The Canyons Resort, the premier gated ski in ski out community is the Colony.  Here you will find some of the biggest parcels of ski in ski out property in the world.  Some of these parcels are even large enough for an equestrian estate.   It’s a newer community and offers many new construction opportunities as well.  Home prices here range from about 5.8 million to 25 million.

So if you like the gated community setting and would like an easy to get to ski in ski out property then Park City Utah may be the place to start looking.  If you need an agent to help you find your dream ski in ski out luxury home Please Call Julie Olsen at 435-513-2848 or email Julie@BestSkiProperty.com so I can help you find your perfect secluded ski retreat today .

I just met with the Canyons Resort Village Management Association Director the other day.  She over sees the Canyons SPA (Specially Planned Area).  There is a lot planned for in the area and they are just in the beginning stages for this up and coming four seasons village community surrounding the Canyons Resort both at the base and up on the ski hill.  Only 10% of the planned area is currently developed so it is a good time to buy in at the Canyons Village Area.  It will eventually rival ski resort villages such as Vail Village.  But the biggest advantage it will have over other ski resort villages is the easy access from an Internation Airport which is only a 30 minute drive away.  The clients I speak to say that is the #1 reason they enjoy coming out here besides the great ski terrain, weather & snow conditions.  Time is valuable and there are over 100 non-stop flight destinations from Salt Lake International Airport.  My client on the East Coast can take the morning flight in and be on the slopes that afternoon skiing. 

Now is the time to buy in the early stages to get the best pricing and the best potential for appreciation.  Contact me today so I can help you find a home or condo in the Canyons area that might fit your needs.  Feel free to also search on my website for Canyons listings on the Park City MLS at BestSkiProperty.com.  Be aware that many of the new pre-construction projects do not show up on the MLS so contact me so I can fill you in on the pre-construction projects happening at the Canyons.  At the Canyons, there are homes, condos, townhomes & condohotel opportunities as well as ski in ski out properties and luxury homes.

I recently visited the site of the new 5 star luxury condo project in the Deer Crest area of Deer Valley Resort.  It’s a new slope-side ski in out project under construction with a finish date planned for August 2008.   This new condo hotel will offer some of the most opulent amenities of any mountain resort in the world.  There will be an indulgent 17,000 square foot spa with salon and fitness facilities, a ski butler service, a ski “beach” and two resort style swimming pools.  Other amenities will include a ski apres lounge, wine & martini bar and a signature restaurant. 

The condo-hotel will be 11 stories with the top four levels holding the 26 Residences and Levels 1 thru 7 holding the 67 condo-hotel units with lock-off capabilities to optimize rental opportunities.  The condo-hotel units’ price includes furnishings and they can be placed in their rental pool.  The Residences will have their own seperate elevator from the condo-hotel units and will not be furnished to allow for individual decorators to come in to personalize the space.  The Residences will be exclusive and nightly rentals will not be allowed in this more private area. 

Please Call Julie at 435-513-2848 or email her at  Julie@bestskiproperty.com  if you are interested in more information on this amazing 5 star ski in ski out condo hotel at Deer Valley Resort before they are all gone.

I met with one of the representatives who works for East West Partners which is one of the key developers for new ski in ski out homes and condos at the Village at Empire Pass at Deer Valley Resort in Park City Utah.  It’s a great ski in ski out project on the best part of the mountain at Deer Valley Resort.   One of their current condo projects is Arrowleaf A and Arrowleaf B.  They will be opening at the end of August 2006 a model condo to show the quality finishes that they will be offering in the Arrowleaf Project.  The Arrowleaf Project is located adjacent to the Silver Strike Express Chairlift and the ski runs that take you to the lift.  The views are spectacular.  It is also located across the ski run from the Tower Club which is the private ski club for property owners at the Village at Empire Pass.  Please contact me so I can help arrange a showing if you are interested.

The ski town of Park City Utah does offer some of the best ski in ski out property that you can find in the world.  The majority of the land at the 3 ski resorts in Park City is privately held and therefore can be developed on.  Whereas most other ski resorts throughout the country are on publicly held land and so housing development can not occur on the ski hill.  Therefore other resorts are limited to building projects at the base of the ski resort . There are some amazing ski in ski out projects as a result of that in Park City. 

One example is the Colony development at The Canyons Resort which offers some of the largest ski in ski out building lots in the world as well as specatular views.   Some of the lots at the Colony also allow for horses.  Empire Pass at Deer Valley offers several new luxury ski in ski out condos at the highest point of the mountain at the prestigious Deer Valley Resort which is one of only 4 skier only resorts in the U.S.  

In many other ski towns with well established ski resorts the best locations for property have some of the oldest developments without any new product available.   Because of the limited amount of ski in ski out property at other ski towns the prices are extremely high and may run as high as $2000 per square foot.  In Park City you can find newer ski in ski out product, a greater variety and Park City real estate offers a better value.
