Tuhaye Homes: Park City Utah’s Most Exclusive Golf Retreats

July 13th, 2008 Categories: Golf, Jordanelle

We don’t usually blog about individual properties, but sometimes we run across residences that are so remarkable, they deserve a little extra editorial press.

Are Tuhaye Homes the “Best of Breed?”

While some Park City private golf developments are facing big challanges in today’s volatile economic times…

Promontory’s Bankruptcy, for example…

Talisker’s Tuhaye community is coming to life.

The homes that have been completed in Tuhaye are gorgeous, and sales have continued while some other segments of the Park City Real Estate Market have stalled.

The first home in Tuhaye sold just over 1 year ago, for over $3.8 Million–not a bad starting point! One Tuhaye spec home went under contract a couple of weeks ago, and it hadn’t even been listed for sale…

A Strong Summer Season for Homes at Tuhaye?

It’s rare to find the right home, in a great neighborhood, with the right views, for the right price.

Are you looking for a gorgeous mountain residence in Park City & Deer Valley’s most exclusive gated golf community?

This stunning Tuhaye home (Offered at $2,650,000 through Prudential Utah Real Estate) is perched an elevated 1.12 acre corner lot, and features dramatic mountain vistas.

Tuhaye Views Forever…

Your views are preserved from Lot #30.

Future neighbors homes will be nestled far beneath your inspiring views.

You’ll love watching dramatic sunrises and sunsets over the spectacular Uinta Mountain peaks to the east.

Artful Architecture at Tuhaye

Designed and built by renowned local Park City firm Jaffa Design Group, this one-of-a-kind residence was completed in late 2007.

The layout makes efficient use of the 4100 square feet of finished living area. It’s not the largest home in Tuhaye, but you’re not paying for a bunch of extra space you don’t need.

Generous windows throughout the home capture the spirit of the magnificent natural setting.

Extensive use of natural stone, timbers, and copper accents give the home a sturdy and authentic feel.

Designed to function beautifully as either a primary residence or mountain getaway…

The home features plenty of storage and closet space, including built-in cabinetry throughout.

Main-Level Living ~ Easy to Get Groceries from the Car to the Kitchen

The floor plan features a pair of main-level bedroom suites, including the master. The other main floor bedroom suite features extensive built-in office cabinetry and makes an elegant study.

The rest of the main floor boasts a designer kitchen that’s built for serious entertaining, a dramatic great room with huge views, stone fireplace and hearth…

Plus a formal dining room, laundry/utility/gift wrapping room, and easy access to the outdoor living areas.

Guests & Family Fun Upstairs

Ascending to the loft area…

You’ll discover a flexible game room (could also be an office, library, or art/music area), a second family room with cozy fireplace, enveloping surround sound, and two additional bedroom suites.

Ski-Prep Room Defies Tuhaye Golf Course Location

Luxurious Laundry

A well appointed laundry room includes custom cabinetry, granite counters and plenty of room for wrapping gifts, folding laundry, etc.

Nurture Meets Nature

Large Pella windows connect the luxurious indoor living area with the magnificent outdoor setting.

An expansive patio wraps the back of the home, and the sensible floor plan allows you to access the outdoor living area easily.

In the morning, sip your coffee in the sun and listen to the choir of birds in the Gambel oaks that dot the property.
In the afternoon, you’ll love the shade the home provides–the patio is perfect for parties and a cool spot to relax after a day on Mark O’Meara’s acclaimed course.
At night, you have direct access from the master bedroom to the Caldera hot tub. It’s protected under the roof-line, but open enough to appreciate the big night sky.
