But one luxury golf neighborhood is experiencing more sales activity than the others…Red Ledges.

According to the Park City MLS, 7 lots have closed so far this calendar year at Red Ledges, with another 7 Red Ledges parcels currently pending sale.

This chart reveals that sales at Red Ledges have surpassed sales at Park City’s other private golf communities, including Tuhaye, Promontory, Glenwild, and Victory Ranch.

What’s Behind Red Ledges’ Surprising Success?

Price reductions and incentives have helped spur demand.  The developer is running a promotion right now that gives new lot buyers a new Mercedes as an incentive for their purchase!

No wonder buyers who are investing today are excited about what’s happening at Red ledges.

Red Ledges Grand Opening

Red Ledges' Jack Nicklaus Course

The Red Ledges golf course opened 4th of July weekend, 2009. Jack Nicklaus was present for the unveiling of the course, which marked the 200th course that he has designed around the world.

“Since the topography of the Red Ledges area is so stunning and diverse, we were challenged to stay true to the Red Ledges vision by planning each hole around its natural surroundings,”
said Nicklaus. “We were able to nestle some holes around the famous sandstone ledges and situate other holes in juniper groves. I am delighted with how the course has turned out.”

Red Ledges Cottages

Red Ledges Homes

The developer is also offering finished cottage homes.  These 3000-4000 square foot luxury cabins start just over $1.25M.

These Red Ledges homes with zero lot lines are perfect for second homes or primary residences, as owners don’t need to worry about taking care of landscaping and snow removal–it’s all handled by the homeowners association!

Kids Love The Heber Valley Railroad

It was a cold and snowy morning. Just before the railroad tracks, I saw the Heber Creeper train running-steam billowing and whistle blowing. I had gone back in time to the days of the steam engine. I grabbed my camera and took this photo.

This train is one of two 1907 Baldwin Steam locomotives

The journey starts at the train station in the middle of the picturesque Heber Valley.

There is a regular tour schedule and special events.

Special trains include: The Haunted Canyon Train, The Polar Express, Comedy Murder Mystery, day out with Thomas the Train, and Tube-’n'-train (which is snow tubing and train-ride combo).

The World Famous Train Put Heber City and Midway on the Map!

The steam engine has been featured in 33 motion pictures in the past 20 years and in the T.V. series “Touched by an Angel” and “The Promised Land”.

A trip to Heber City and Midway isn’t complete without a visit to Park City and Deer Valley just minutes away.

If you can’t leave your kids with the grandparents and don’t have the nanny that travels with you, kids are a part of vacations. They can be really fun to have along as long as they don’t get ‘bored’ Lets be honest, family vacations can be challenging enough without having kids who are ‘bored’. Keeping kids constructively occupied without shelling out big dollars can be difficult in a ski town during the season.

The children’s ages dictate family plans on a skiing vacation. Can they enroll in ski school so you can get your turns too or do you need to get daytime babysitter? Are they skilled enough to warrant a private instructor so that skiing with them is an option? Price can really climb with private instruction, but the upside is usually skiing with your kids sooner.

Obviously, with a younger age range, reserving a childcare service for a couple of adult nights makes sense as long as you can find reliable child care. Many hotels have services for babysitting and some do more expanded children’s programs. The most trusted child care service in Park City and Deer Valley is Park City Sitters.

Check the local Park City movie theatres, Redstone Cinemas and Holiday Village Cinemas, the indoor and outdoor ice rinks, Gorgoza Park and Soldier Hollow tubing hills, The Egyptian theatre, and the Heber Valley Railroad. White Pine touring grooms three different cross country ski tracks on the Park City golf course, where you can also arrange sleigh rides and dog sled adventures. Contact the tour operators for schedules and availability.

The Utah Olympic Park has museums, rides, shows and camps. Check them out at http://www.olyparks.com/

Or, better yet, buy plastic sleds for everyone, find a small, safe hill and enjoy your vacation, together.

The World Class Ski Resorts at Deer Valley, Park City, and The Canyons Offer Some of The Best Snow Sliding on Earth…

But guess what? You can enjoy a great Park City winter vacation even if you don’t ride a single chair lift.

Skiing and snowboarding are not the only activities available in this picturesque mountain town.

Park City offers over 100 restaurants to choose from, but what will you do when you’re not skiing and eating?

Here are some ideas to get you started…

Park City Shopping

Park City Shopping offerings abound at the resorts, on Historic Main Street and at the Redstone Center and the Tanger Park City Outlets near the Kimball Junction exit off Interstate 80.

Main Street has long been a favorite destination of Park City visitors. You’ll have a great time shopping on Main Street, and there are some great places to dine as well.

Park City Spas

If you’re in need of a little self-pampering, Park City & Deer Valley’s luxurious spas offer all types of treatments. And that’s not all…

Spa afficianados anxiously await completion of 3 new world-class spas in Park City & Deer Valley:

At The Canyons Resort, the new Dakota Mountain Lodge will feature a Golden Door Spa. At Deer Valley, the internationally acclaimed St. Regis Resort and Deer Valley Montage Hotels will also have full service spa facilities among their other amenities.

9 Mountain Activities to Try on Your Next Utah Visit!

Cross country skiing on the Park City muni golf course can be rejuvenating or heart-pounding, depending on your mood. White Pine Touring offers lessons, rentals and clinics on site. White Pine grooms 3k, 5k, and 10+kilometer loops for beginning, intermediate, and advanced classic and skate skiers.

You can also test your cross-country talents at Soldier Hollow, the 2002 Olympic venue in nearby Midway, UT. Try the challenging Olympic tracks, or learn the basics on easy terrain.

Soldier Hollow also features a tubing park for family fun–reservations are recommended. Tubing can be combined with a train ride on the Heber Valley Railroad, which offers assorted local train rides as well as specialty trains like the Polar Express.

Park City Tubing is more luxurious than the experience you remember as a child. No need to climb the hill over and over packing down a track. Park City Tubing is great fun for the whole family, and available daily at Gorgoza Park in Jeremy Ranch during the ski season. They have rope-tows to help you up the hill, and warm beverages in the warming hut at the bottom of the hill!

Snow shoeing tours are a great way to get some peaceful exercise in and around the mountains of Park City, Utah and enjoy birds and other wildlife in their natural habitat.

Snowmobiling is great winter experience for the more adventurous and adrenaline oriented people. We recommend the snowmobiling around Strawberry Reservoir, where top snowmobile manufacturers film their advertisements in the wide open meadows, aspen glades, and wind-swept ridgelines.

Hot air ballooning gives you an unbelievable view of these mountains, as do scenic helicopter and glider rides that can be arranged at the Heber airport.

Dog sled rides are a thrilling way to see the countryside, and you don’t need to be an Iditarod veteran to have some fun.

Horse drawn sleighs offer a more romantic experience. At Deer Valley and Park City, you can combine adventure and romance into the same evening by taking a sleigh rides to and from a romantic slopeside restaurant.

Fly-fishing on the local rivers is productive year-round. Dressed in the right attire, you may hook a big one and have some great stories to tell the rest of your group in the evening. Fly fishing on the Provo River and other local waters is fantastic year round and guides will pick you up and return you to your hotel after your day of matching wits with the local trout population.

Enjoy your vacation to Park City, Utah!

The summer activities are dependent on weather but the season generally runs from the Memorial Day weekend to the Labor Day weekend. Many activities are available as soon as the snow is gone from the lower elevations, and available in the fall until the snow falls.

Hiking and biking are always an option; the chairlifts run during the summer season to assist you up the mountains to enjoy the highest elevations and hair raising downhill bike runs.
Chairlifts also take you to the top of the zip lines, alpine slides and coasters of Park City Mountain Resort and the Utah Olympic Park. The UOP also offers you the chance to ride in a bobsled or go to a performance of the athletes that fly forty feet in the air and land in a splash pool.

More courses like Red Ledges, Talisman and Victory Ranch will just add to the reputation of the great golf available near Park City. The Homestead, and the Utah state park courses near Midway offer a fantastic value and great courses.
