Utah is known for its top-rated ski slopes, mountain resorts, and vast natural landscape that lends itself to a slew of outdoor activities.
Park City in particular, located east of Salt Lake City, especially optimizes the exhilarating outdoors, housing three of the best ski resorts in the world as well as Utah Olympic Park. However, skiing doesn’t fully encapsulate the essence of Park City. The terrain also allows for mountain biking, horseback riding, golfing, and paddle boarding, just to name a few.
Park City also specializes in luxury resort living, which blends sumptuous indoor facilities with the expansive outdoors. Promontory Club, a private residential community that is the epitome of luxury living, spans over 6,400 acres and offers a myriad of indoor and outdoor amenities. Chris Messick, the director of real estate sales at Promontory Club, describes it as a four-season private club, with relatively less humid summers and lighter winters.
“As people started spending more time here in the summer, people figured out Park City has more of a four-season feeling than some of the other spots. Summer is as important to us as winter,” Messick explained.
Messick credits Promontory’s appeal to its diverse selection of amenities, all of which occupy 190,000 square feet. Among them are a world-class equestrian center, a clubhouse and spa, multiple golf courses, a beach club, an Outfitter’s Cabin, from which members can embark on a number of outdoor adventures, and over 30 miles of trails.
According to Kerry Oman, associate broker at Summit Sotheby’s International Realty, this lifestyle along with the ongoing pandemic has yielded a booming real estate market in Park City.
“Because of COVID-19, we’ve seen an increase in out-of-state buyers coming and spending longer periods of time or even relocating to Park City. The last 12 months in Park City has been phenomenal with unprecedented growth. The demand has
been extremely high and properties sell really fast,” Oman said.
Along with Promontory Club, Oman speaks highly of Glenwild Country Club, which is rated the No. 1 golf course in Utah, and Deer Valley Resort, one of the world’s best with breathtaking mountain views. The opulence of these resorts are juxtaposed with Park City’s small-town charm. Visitors can venture to Main Street for quality shopping, fine dining, and historic attractions. Both Messick and Oman reiterate that Park City surprises people with its beautiful summers and the accessibility of outdoor activities during the season, making it an ideal, year-round retreat.

Nestled in the exclusive Promontory development overlooking the international ski resort community of Park City, Utah, the mountaintop estate known as Cascade will grace the cover of Unique Homes magazine for the Global, November/December edition.
Offered at $19.5 million, this architectural masterpiece designed by Wallace Cunningham is composed of steel, concrete, glass and Serpentine stone.
Settled over 5 acres, Cascade boasts some of the most magnificent views of Park City.
Italian Serpentine stone was used extensively throughout this transformative property, with 30 to 35 different elevations that interrelate. Listing Agent Alan Long, formerly of Los Angeles and now a principal with Rising Stars in Park City, noted that the early Romans believed this exclusive stone had healing powers.
“Every time I walk through the house, I notice something different and that doesn’t happen with other houses. It is more a piece of art than it is a structure,” observed Long, a veteran marketer of fine homes and estates.
Richard Goodwin, publisher of Unique Homes, said the property’s “cutting-edge, Contemporary design made it a natural choice for the cover of the magazine. We try to feature homes that are distinctive and exclusive. Cascade is perfect.
“Park City is a destination that engages and interests our readers. We’re excited to have Cascade as a cover home,” noted the longtime industry fixture.
