Homes for Sale in Eden, Utah

Living in Eden

Eden is a fitting name for a perfect setting. Surveyed by Washington Jenkins in 1859, he claimed that the land was “the most beautiful he’d ever seen” and thus the biblical name was bestowed upon the area. The land is composed of beautiful rolling fields, sparkling waters, and surrounding dramatic mountainscapes. The hub of Eden is a close-knit town center with multiple shops, a gas station, grocery store, and eateries. Friends and families gather at Eden Park to enjoy the full size horse arena, soccer and football fields, the new children’s playground, and the area’’s big events, such as the Ogden Valley Balloon Festival. 

As one of three towns that compose what the locals refer to as the Ogden Valley, Eden’s winters are full of what Utah is known for: dry, fluffy powder. Eden is home to two ski resorts, Nordic Valley: the budget-friendly family resort, and Powder Mountain: a giant, back-country-esque ski destination. Powder Mountain claims over 500 inches of snow each year with over 8,000 skiable acres. The best part about the resort? It caps single day passes, so it’s never crowded like its southern counterparts in Park City and the Salt Lake Resorts. Snowbasin Ski Resort, home of the 2002 Winter Olympics, is just a short drive away in Huntsville, Utah. Heed caution. With 3 amazing resorts all within a 30-minute drive, this unique mountain town will turn the hobby skier into a ski-junkie in no time.

The Ogden Valley’s heart is Pineview Reservoir. Huntsville borders the eastern and southern shores while Eden lays claim to the northern and western waterfronts. The reservoir is large enough that even on busy days there’s room for some to swim, some to boat, some to fish, and others to do paddle board yoga. Whether it is spending the day on one of the many sandy beaches or enjoying the boat life, summer days on Pineview elicit childlike grandeur and awe. Set amongst serene views of the Wasatch and Monte Cristo mountain ranges, the lake, mountains, and valley floor are rich with 4-season recreation.

While Park City is frequently commended as Utah’s skiing destination, the Ogden Valley is the best-kept secret around and the locals strive to keep it that way. The elevation of Eden is 4,941 feet compared to Park City’s 7,000 feet, so the weather is more moderate taking the chill out of winter but leaving the beautiful snow. And it’s not crowded!
