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.
