The Land
The estate spans two parcels, covering approximately 156 acres. A private gated entrance, located at 5,700 feet in elevation, provides access near the end of the paved road in the Left Fork of Hobble Creek Canyon. A nearly two-thirds-mile private lane winds up the property, gaining over 200 feet in elevation, with the home sitting at 5,940 feet and the highest point of the property reaching nearly 6,400 feet.
During winter, the forest service locks the gate at the end of the canyon road, but the property’s location offers a distinct advantage—direct access to the canyon’s dirt road beyond the gate, allowing exclusive snowmobiling access to tens of thousands of acres of untouched national forest land.
About Hobble Creek Canyon
Hobble Creek Canyon, located an hour south of Salt Lake City in Springville, is one of Northern Utah’s most scenic canyons. Despite its secluded, peaceful setting along the Wasatch Front, it remains just 15 to 20 minutes from grocery stores, restaurants, and I-15. The area is also home to the Hobble Creek Golf Course, a renowned 18-hole championship course set against a stunning natural backdrop that attracts golfers from across the state.
The canyon is divided into two sections: the Right Fork and the Left Fork. The Right Fork is surrounded by public land and features a large park maintained by Springville City. A narrow paved road winds eight miles through the canyon before turning to gravel, eventually connecting to Diamond Fork and Spanish Fork Canyons. This area is popular for hiking, horseback riding, and camping, with two public campgrounds available.
The Left Fork, in contrast, consists almost entirely of private land and is home to some of Utah’s most exclusive estates. This section of the canyon is wider and offers dramatic views. A six-mile paved road transitions into a dirt path suitable for fourwheel-drive vehicles, leading to Daniels Summit near Strawberry Reservoir. Pole Haven Canyon, located about three miles in, provides access to the Kyhv Peak Trail, which connects to Provo Canyon.
Hobble Creek Canyon is a year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, off-roading, golfing, fishing, hunting, and photography. It even attracts heli-skiers seeking untouched powder, making it one of Utah’s premier recreational areas.
