Red Ledges
About the area
Red Ledges opened in 2007 under family-led private ownership on west-facing hillsides above Heber Valley, accessed from US-189 and Crib Creek Road. At roughly 2,000 acres, it is one of the largest private gated communities in the greater Park City region, and as of 2025 approximately 300 homes have been completed of a master plan calling for up to 1,200 residences. The landscape rises from 5,600 to 6,200 feet, with panoramic views of Heber Valley, Mount Timpanogos, and the Wasatch Range. The product range is deliberately broad: custom homesites, single-family homes, attached townhomes and villas, and lower-maintenance golf cottages. Prices begin around $800,000 for smaller attached products, most homes fall between $2 million and $4 million, and large custom estates reach $5 million to $10 million and above, with the current median near $3.71 million at approximately $746 per square foot.

Amenities & Lifestyle
Red Ledges is built around an amenity suite designed to sustain four-season residency. The golf program anchors the experience, but the broader club includes the Cliff Drysdale Tennis Academy (USTA-rated facilities, pickleball courts, and junior programming), the Equestrian Center operated by KB Horses (trail rides, horseback instruction, hayrides, and chuck wagon dinners), and two resort-style pools. The Wellness Center, which opened in 2024, added fitness, recovery, and spa programming in a dedicated building. Juniper Grill is the community's full-service restaurant, and the Kids Club provides structured programming during peak seasons. Summer draws residents outdoors for hiking, mountain biking, and riding across the hillside terrain, while the valley below—Jordanelle, Deer Creek, and Strawberry reservoirs within 10 to 20 minutes—expands the recreational reach considerably.
Getting Around
Red Ledges sits on the west-facing hillsides above Heber City, entered via US-189 and Crib Creek Road. Park City's Historic Main Street is roughly 18 miles away, a 25- to 30-minute drive via US-40 through Parley's Canyon or around the Jordanelle Reservoir. Salt Lake City International Airport is approximately 55 to 65 minutes in normal traffic conditions. Heber City Municipal Airport is five to ten minutes from the gate, useful for private aircraft. The community operates a complimentary shuttle to Deer Valley Resort for members during the ski season, and the resort is approximately 20 to 25 minutes by road.
Are Short-Term Rentals Allowed in Red Ledges?
Red Ledges is a private gated community, and short-term rental activity is governed by its CC&Rs rather than by a simple municipal permit process. Non-member renters—guests who have not purchased a club membership—cannot access the club's amenities, including the golf courses, tennis, pools, equestrian facilities, and Wellness Center. This restriction meaningfully affects both the rental appeal and the achievable nightly rate compared to communities where renters receive full access. Minimum stay requirements are typical. Buyers considering a purchase for rental income should review the CC&Rs carefully and confirm current policy with the HOA before proceeding.
Golf & Club: Red Ledges
The Red Ledges golf program is the centerpiece of the community. The Jack Nicklaus Signature 18-hole Championship Course winds through the natural terrain of the hillside, with elevation changes and valley views built into the design. The 12-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Park offers a shorter, more accessible layout suited to younger players, beginners, and those seeking an evening round. The Jim McLean Golf School at Red Ledges has been rated the number one golf school in the world. Beyond golf, the Cliff Drysdale Tennis Academy brings professional-level programming to the courts, including USTA-sanctioned play and pickleball. During ski season, the community operates a complimentary shuttle to Deer Valley Resort and maintains two private member ski lounges at the resort. The new Deer Valley East Village is approximately 15 to 20 minutes from the community.
Schools
Red Ledges is in the Wasatch County School District. Elementary-age students are served primarily by Heber Valley Elementary and J.R. Smith Elementary. Middle school students attend Rocky Mountain Middle School or Timpanogos Middle School. Wasatch High School serves grades 9 through 12 for the broader Heber Valley area. Deer Creek High School, a new secondary campus, is scheduled to open in August 2026.
A Still-Building Master Plan
As of 2025, approximately 300 homes have been completed at Red Ledges against a master plan that envisions up to 1,200 residences on the 2,000-acre site. That means roughly 900 homes are yet to be built, and active new construction phases continue under the community's family-led private ownership. For buyers, there is meaningful opportunity to enter the community at earlier phases, potentially ahead of the pricing that typically follows a more complete buildout, while the golf courses, club facilities, equestrian center, and wellness amenities were designed for a finished community of 1,200—meaning current residents enjoy a significant amenity-to-price advantage.

Park City's Historic Main Street is approximately 18 miles from Red Ledges, a 25- to 30-minute drive via US-40. Deer Valley Resort is roughly 20 to 25 minutes by road. The new Deer Valley East Village is approximately 15 to 20 minutes from the community, making Red Ledges one of the closest private gated communities to that expansion when it opens.
Red Ledges is a larger, more social community with two Jack Nicklaus Signature courses, a broader range of product types from golf cottages to large estates, and a wider price range anchored around a $3.71 million median. It is in Wasatch County above Heber Valley. Victory Ranch is more remote and lower-density, with a focus on private river fishing on the Provo River, a Rees Jones-designed golf course, and a Summit County address.
Red Ledges is located in Wasatch County, Utah. Wasatch County governs property taxes, planning and zoning, and the school district that serves primary-residence buyers. This is a meaningful distinction from communities like Victory Ranch, which is in Summit County. Buyers should confirm county-level tax rates and any applicable assessments with their legal and financial advisors before closing.
Red Ledges sits on west-facing hillsides ranging from approximately 5,600 to 6,200 feet above sea level. The elevation delivers panoramic views of Heber Valley, Mount Timpanogos, and the Wasatch Range, along with cooler summers than Salt Lake City. The hillside orientation captures long afternoon light across most home sites and provides natural separation between the community and the valley floor below.
