Inspired By Nature: Summit Creek Comes To Utah Valley

WOODLAND HILLS, Utah, May 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Utah's newest luxury community is coming to southern Utah County.

Development partner Don Mecham and renowned custom home builder Magleby Construction have teamed with Panthera Development to launch Summit Creek, a development "inspired by nature" at the base of majestic Loafer Mountain, yet mere minutes from the tech companies of Silicon Slopes, shopping and dining in Provo and Salt Lake City, world-famous skiing at Sundance Resort, classes and cultural events at Brigham Young University, and national and international gateways at Salt Lake and Provo airports.

The development, being introduced with a home featured in the Utah Valley Parade of Homes early next month, offers the serenity of a lush, remote oasis, while being just a short drive from everything you need, from top-notch entertainment to top-ranked hospitals to strong schools and major sports franchises.

"We are excited to introduce this new community—it is especially appealing for couples and families who may already have roots here in Utah," Mecham said. "You'll wake up to the serenity of incredible views and lush green foliage every morning, but you'll also be so close to so much, like more than 100 restaurants within a 12 mile radius alone! It'll be a great place to come home to, and for those whose children are grown, a phenomenal place for them to come visit and share with you."

Phase I of Summit Creek will consist of 13 Mountain Villa Homes measuring 2,400-4,400 square feet with modern mountain design and flexible one- and two-level floor plans, with 9 Estate Lots for those wanting to build a custom home.  Magleby Construction, NAHB 2007 Custom Builder of the Year, will build both the custom homes and Mountain Villas on lots sited to maximize views and privacy, and to preserve the natural wildlife corridors of the land. Scenic walking paths wind through the community to enhance the connection to nature and provide easy access to picnic pavilions, a central mail hub and a community center: an airy gathering space perched above a wildlife corridor, outfitted with kitchen facilities, a fitness center, lending library, fireplace, patios and more.

Summit Creek will be built in four phases, the first kicking off Thursday morning, June 5, timed with the Utah Valley Parade of Homes, June 6 to 21. Buyers will have eight Mountain Villa Home floor plans to choose from, as well as Estate Lots for custom homes — all designed to offer breathtaking views while also minimizing any impact on the surrounding environment. The Mountain Villa Home plans were designed by Babcock Design Group of Salt Lake with modern flexible floor plans and were carefully sited on each lot to maximize views while protecting privacy.

The environmentally friendly designs were one of the main factors in attracting strong support from the mayor of Woodland Hills, Steve Lauritzen, who helped shepherd a pristine new road to the community.

"We call our city of Woodland Hills the 'crown jewel of the Wasatch Front,' and Summit Creek — true to its name — will help that jewel shine even brighter," Mayor Lauritzen said. "As the head of a company that specializes in earth-friendly geothermal heating and cooling systems, I know about responsible development, and Don's team along with Magleby Communities have established a proven track record as environmental stewards and home craftsmen across the West. I can't imagine a better group to build new, beautiful homes for neighbors I can't wait to welcome to our community."

Mayor Lauritzen adds that the development will prove a boon to Woodland Hills, not merely for the city's budget and all that it supports, but for local businesses, restaurants, civic groups and more, as well.
