Scenic Hills (officially Scenic Hills Estates) is one of Bluffdale’s original horse-property custom-home communities, with most homes built between 1993 and 1999. The neighborhood sits between 15000 South (north) and 15300 South (south), bounded east by 2200 West and west by Mountain Side Drive and Silverpoint Circle. What distinguishes Scenic Hills from nearly every other Wasatch Front neighborhood is its combination of large 1.00 to 1.63-acre lots, horse privileges, and unlimited secondary water rights — a genuinely rare asset as Utah water becomes increasingly scarce and valuable.
Home styles are predominantly ramblers and 2-story customs, with some multi-level designs mixed in. Because Scenic Hills was originally developed as a custom-build community (not a single-builder tract), homes vary widely in size, style, and finish level. Square footage ranges from 1,954 sq ft at the smallest up to 7,365 sq ft for the largest estates. Pricing runs $1 million to $2 million, averaging $350+ per square foot — though per-square-foot pricing varies significantly given the wide size range and lot premiums. You\u2019ll find barns, shops, detached garages, RV storage, gardens, vineyards, and horse arenas across the community.
The HOA at Scenic Hills is remarkably light: approximately $100 per year. But the real value proposition isn\u2019t a long amenity list — it’s the unlimited secondary (irrigation) water included with the dues. For a 1.5-acre horse property with a pasture to water, a garden, a lawn, and shade trees, the value of unmetered secondary water easily exceeds $100 per month in some summers, let alone $100 per year. Secondary water is separate from culinary (drinking) water and typically runs April through October. This feature alone makes Scenic Hills highly sought-after among equestrian buyers and anyone wanting true country living on a usable lot without paying for irrigation.
Scenic Hills is within the Jordan School District: Bluffdale Elementary (Portuguese Dual-Language Immersion), South Hills Middle School, and Riverton High School. There are no parks directly within Scenic Hills — part of the tradeoff for the big-lot rural feel — but Wardle Fields Regional Park is about 5 minutes away, and the Jordan River Parkway Trail is easily accessible for walking, running, and biking.
Commuting is surprisingly easy despite the rural character. I-15 (Exit 291) is roughly 10 minutes east via 14600 South or Porter Rockwell Boulevard. Silicon Slopes in Lehi is 15 minutes south, downtown Salt Lake City 30 minutes north. Mountain View Corridor (SR-85) runs along the west edge of Bluffdale. Residents are also minutes from the new SLCC/University of Utah Juniper Building in Herriman — a first-of-its-kind joint campus that opened in 2023.
