THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN SOUTHERN UTAH
PINION HILLS
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
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, are rigorously protected through careful architectural review 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 overshadow 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 between. Contrast 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 breathe 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 also has a backup system using solar, ensuring that the 1 million-gallon storage tanks will always be filled. If the grid fails, Dammeron Valley and Pinion Hills will have a supply of 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 varying 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.

FAQ

The homeowner is responsible for extending the utilities from the edge of the road to the building site. Connection fees charged by the various utility companies are the responsibility of the homeowner.
Summary of CC&Rs
The CC&Rs basically control the design and building process. Their primary function is to ensure that projects properly integrate into the natural environment, protecting natural features, trees, view corridors, and separation between adjacent homes. Architectural creativity is encouraged so long as it meets the CC&R guidelines.
Homeowners are encouraged to use their property. Outdoor activity areas are encouraged, including patios, decks, pools, BBQ's, gardens, etc., with several properties having space and topography for small orchards. Casitas are allowed, so long as they meet the location and size requirements. Typically, the natural vegetation provides a good base from which minor landscape elements can be added. Although plentiful, water conservation is encouraged.
The height restriction for homes is 16’ which allows for integration into the natural environment and encourages architectural consistency. Colors and materials should blend in with the natural landscape.
Preferred architects/designers and builders
Owners may engage their own architect/designer and builder who should meet certain standards of experience and quality. Designers and builders must be approved by the developer, with previous experience designing and building in similar environments a factor. There is no time limit for a lot owner to build a home.
