Rural Summit County
Kamas/Francis/Woodland
These three scenic communities sit at the foot of the Uinta Mountains. Whereas Heber and Midway are slowly transitioning into slightly more populous communities, Kamas has steadfastly held onto its “wild west” roots. The most recognized residential neighborhood in Francis is Wild Willow, which features large homesites and ranch style homes. Located near the small town of Francis is the 5,600 acre Victory Ranch development, which features a Rees Jones designed golf course, five private miles of fishing along the Provo River and striking luxury homes and homesites. Woodland is best known for the renowned Wolf Creek Ranch development, which offers the largest residential land parcels in the area. Some Wolf Creek lots are 160 acres in size, with a perimeter length of two miles. The entire development comprises 14,000 acres of stunning outdoor recreational paradise, and is within easy driving distance of Park City.
Oakley/Peoa
The small Summit County farming communities of Oakley and Peoa are located between Coalville and Kamas. Stunning Mountain vistas surround both Oakley and Peoa, which feature miles of farm fields and a rich local history. Oakley is home to the world-renowned Oakley Rodeo every summer around the Fourth of July while Peoa hosts Mountain Town Music’s summertime concerts at the quaint Woodenshoe Park. While some luxury properties certainly exist in these areas, the majority of homes are reasonably-priced. Those looking for a less-remote experience should explore the area’s planned community, North Bench Farms.
Coalville/Wanship/Hoytsville
Coalville is the seat of Summit County, despite its rural location and small population. The three towns of Coalville, Wanship and Hoytsville are primarily agricultural in nature and many families have lived in the area for multiple generations. Excellent fishing exists in the nearby Weber River, which feeds into the Rockport Reservoir and offers popular water recreation. These towns are quite rural and comprised mostly of ranch and agricultural land, but are only a short distance to Park City via Interstate 80. Potential buyers will find excellent home values in any of these three communities.
