this was salt lake city’s first neighborhood, established in the 1850s. it sits above salt lake city’s downtown area, giving you the feel of being above it all, while still in the middle of everything. homes are nestled on the sides of the foothills to the north of the city. residents tend to be politically progressive. homes have a well-tended, “artsy” feel. the avenues is the home of many professionals in salt lake who want a short commute to downtown, the university of utah or the capitol. that vibe meshes nicely with the older, victorian architecture of the homes you will find here. memory grove and city creek canyon are popular areas for hiking and outdoor recreation.
Situated in a private canyon, this 16-acre estate lot offers seclusion, views of the Salt Lake Valley and surrounding mountains, as well as close proximity to Salt Lake City’s downtown.
It is one of only three lots in the Northvale gated community and rises above the other two for a spectacular view of the valley.
Adding to its privacy, the lot is surrounded in part by Salt Lake City-owned property on its northern and eastern borders that is within an “open space” zone.
The Bonneville Shoreline Trail is nearby for walking, hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing. Downtown Salt Lake City lies less than two miles below, with many restaurants, theater and shops. City Creek Canyon, with its recreational opportunities, is quite close by. The Salt Lake City airport is twenty minutes away and the University of Utah, with its world-class medical facilities, is within a ten-minute drive. LDS Hospital and Salt Lake Regional Hospital are even closer.
The spacious two-acre buildable area, roughly in the center of the 16 acres, presents a rare opportunity to build an extraordinary estate nestled in its own nature preserve in the mountain foothills.
This property is zoned for one single-family residence.
A preliminary structure of a house, consisting of foundations and some walls, was removed. The land was then refilled, regraded, reclaimed, and reseeded.
