THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN SOUTHERN UTAH

PINION HILLS

OUR NEWEST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT IN DAMMERON VALLEY

Consisting of 1,600 acres and surrounded on all sides by pristine BLM land, Pinion Hills and Dammeron Valley are situated just North of Snow Canyon State Park and St. George, Utah.  Cast in the shadow of Pine Valley Mountain, Pinion Hills is known as a mountain setting in a desert climate. With 10 degree cooler temperatures and a wide variety of vegetation and hillsides covered with Pinion pines and Juniper trees, the four season environment offers a wide variety of recreation – with scenic national parks, boating reservoirs, fishing streams, hiking trails and at least 10 golf courses nearby.

Though protected from the continuing growth of the Southern Utah metropolitan areas, Pinion Hills is only a short 15 minute drive from St. George, Santa Clara or Ivins, and all the benefits that growth brings – shopping and restaurants, theater and arts, 25 minutes to Costco and 35 minutes to the St George airport.

Pinion Hills - the hidden gem of Southern Utah.

WHERE IS IT?

HARMONY WITH THE ENVIRONMENT

AMAZING COMBINATION OF TOPOGRAPHY, ENVIRONMENT, ELEVATION, AND PROXIMITY TO ST. GEORGE

Pinion Hills offers large one-acre + view lots situated in the foothills overlooking the Pine Mountain range.  The planned separation of homesites not only preserves the natural environment but provides seclusion and privacy. The wooded homesites – Juniper and pinion trees intertwine with desert cacti and wildflowers – were created with great care, protecting trees, sensitive natural formations and the view corridors of surrounding properties.

Development and home design, through careful architectural review, are rigorously protected in order to ensure Pinion Hills will always maintain its beauty.

Architectural creativity is encouraged, striving to take advantage the opportunities of each lot.  Homes are designed to integrate with the environment rather than overwhelm it.

FORESTED ENVIRONMENT

When most people think of St. George, they picture a desert environment — comfortable in the winter and HOT in the summer, with short seasons in betweenContrast that with Pinion Hills – forested with a blend of pinion and juniper trees, beautiful moss-covered  sandstone outcroppings, blue skies horizon to horizon, and blazing sunsets that set the evening sky on fire.  What a delight to breath clear and fresh air, enjoy 10-degree cooler temperatures, and welcome no water restrictions.

INCREDIBLE VIEWS

The 10,000 foot high Pine Valley mountain range hovers at the eastern side of Dammeron Valley.  Pinon Hills lots not only have stunning views of Pine Valley, but have sweeping views of the entire area, taking in the Veyo volcano to the northwest and the Enterprise mountain range to the north.  

PRIVATE AND REMOTE

St. George is growing fast.  Some would say too fast.  It is quickly becoming a metropolitan area with its perks and problems.  All the amenities – restaurants, shopping, arts – are now impacted by the increased traffic, noise, crime, and pollution.  Pinion Hills, though only 17 minutes from downtown (as much time as it takes to drive across town these days), will maintain its rural feeling.  There is limited land that can be developed – Dammeron Valley can only have a total of 750 homes in its 1600 acre setting.  Surrounded by BLM, the Valley will always be insulated from the impact of the St. George record setting growth. The topographical configuration of the terrain, coupled with the forested environment will ensure that the privacy of each home is preserved 50 years from now,

WHERE WOULD YOU RATHER BE?

COOLER TEMPERATURES

Pinion Hills is on an average ten degrees cooler than St. George.  The long springs and falls are perfect for opening the windows and letting the air inside.  Outdoor activities are not just a summer activity but can be enjoyed throughout the year.  Summers are warm and winters typically mild, an excellent balance of a true 4 season environment.

WATER SERVICE

Pinion Hills has its own state-monitored community water service supplied by several reliable wells.  The gravity flow system is powered by the grid and by solar, ensuring that the 1 million-gallon storage tanks will always be full.  If the grid fails, Dammeron Valley and Pinion Hills will have water.  If St. George water supply has problems, Dammeron Valley and Pinion Hills will have water.

RECREATION

Morning and evening walks are a favorite pastime for many of the Pinion Hills residents.  The rural roads provide both exercise for those who want it or a quiet stroll for those seek a more quiet and leisurely experience.

Nearby mountains and Navajo sandstone formations offer incredible hiking, climbing and exploring. (Look up The Maze.) The Red Mountain Trail, leading to Snow Canyon crosses the back side of Pinion Hills.  The distinct four seasons of Pinion offer a wide variety of recreational opportunities, from off-roading and hiking in the local mountains to boating or fishing in the nearby reservoirs, to choosing one of the 10 golf courses that will challenge even the best golfers, to exploring the nearby world-renowned National Parks – day trips to Zion, Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon.

GARDENS

Many of Pinon Hills residents grow gardens.  In spite of the fluctuating terrain, grow boxes sprout up and produce season long crops, from flowers to favorite vegetables.  The growing season begins with planting in March and harvesting until late October.  If people choose, they can participate in the Dammeron Valley Community Garden – a few acres dedicated to producing fruit and vegetables that are made available to community members.

THRIVING COMMUNITY

The covenants and restrictions (CCR’s) ensure that the home designs and use of property respect the vision of Pinion Hills, with a landowner’s association made up of residents in the valley who take pride in the community.

Though the backgrounds of residents vary, from retired or working couples to families, Pinion Hills has a unified sense of community. 

The fire department has a full time chief, a new station, upgraded equipment, certified volunteer crew, and certified emergency personnel.  Not only is the valley well protected, but insurance rates are reasonable.

TESTIMONIALS

"We purchased property in Dammeron Valley in 1978. Although we considered this acquisition a long-term investment, it was also a possible retirement location. In following years, extensive travel throughout the Southwest did not reveal to us a better place to spend our golden years. In 1991 we made the decision to build our dream home. We have never looked back; and have had no desire to look for greener pastures. We enjoy the high desert climate with its mild winters and cool nights during the summer. We believe that Southern Utah cannot be beat for the variety of wild and scenic locations to visit and enjoy. We enjoy traveling to other places in this great land, but are always glad to return to this wonderful place we now call home."

Stan & Johnna Evans

"All of us hope that at some time in our lives we will find that little piece of earth that, to us, is Shangri-La. When we were neither looking for, nor thinking about a new home away from the West Coast 10 years ago, destiny pushed us up the mountain to Dammeron Valley. We knew we had found a slice of heaven. St. George, just 15 minutes away, is full of opportunities for cultural, civic, academic and social interaction. What a thrill to be constructive during the day in the "city", then drive up the 2,000 feet to the magic of our mountain home! We want the dust of our shoes to merge with the red rock history of this area… for all time. This is not just a place…it is truly "home"."

Anita & Dr. Al Painter

"I moved to Dammeron Valley seven years ago from Las Vegas. Horses are a big part of my life and I was looking for an area where I could pursue my riding and have a piece of land to myself. I live in the homesteads on a one-acre lot, though it feels like more because of the open space and endless areas to ride my horse. Dammeron Valley has become my home. Both of my brothers are hoping to move here soon, and we can't imagine being any place else."

Linda Murphy

"Dammeron is a great place to raise children and pets! It has lots of room to grow."

Jana & Jeff Bickell

"Dammeron has many riding trails with wonderful scenery."

JoAnn Bradley

"Dammeron Valley is as great a place for children as it is for adults. There are loads of recreational activities all within a mile or two."

Charles & Clarice Young

"Living in Dammeron allows me to keep active and healthy!"

Travis Wellman

"The beautiful sunrises, sunsets and great views in every direction plus interesting places for walking and hiking are just a few of the reasons we chose to retire in Dammeron Valley. We had lived in Southern California for 30 years and when we moved here the serenity we found was an added bonus."
