How One Buyer Found the Right Lot—Even When It Wasn’t on the List
A few weeks ago, I received a call from a buyer looking for land in Park City. Smart guy. He’d done his research, knew about HOA restrictions, design review boards, height limitations—you name it. He even sent over a detailed Excel sheet with 64 potential properties.
But here’s what he didn’t have: clarity.
So, we got a buyer-broker agreement in place and went to work. After sifting through spreadsheets and spec sheets, I organized a targeted tour that let him experience the neighborhoods firsthand. Three great lots rose to the top of the list.
That’s when we walked them with a builder. That boots-on-the-ground approach made all the difference. Ironically, the lot he ended up choosing? It wasn’t even on his original list.
Once under contract, he and his wife met with a shortlist of architects I introduced them to. Their vision started to take shape because they started with the right piece of land.
I’ve been doing this for over twenty years. I’ve bought land for myself, advised developers, and helped hundreds of buyers navigate the same journey. Finding the right property in Park City isn’t about luck. It’s a process—and we’ve got it dialed.

What You Should Consider When Buying Park City Land
Evaluate how your future home will sit on the lot, considering views, sun exposure, and accessibility. Bring your architect and builder into the process early. Work backward from your ideal design to find the right land to support it.
Also, don’t overlook slope. A downhill lot is often preferred—it allows for garage-level entry, easier grocery hauls, and daily usability. However, with a large uphill lot you can wrap the driveway around back to live like a downhill build.
