The Village at Empire Pass is widely regarded as one of Deer Valley’s most exclusive ski-in/ski-out communities. Located along the slopes of Flagstaff Mountain and Empire Canyon at Deer Valley® Resort, Empire Pass spans over 1,600 acres, with less than ten percent designated for development and a total of approximately 525 homesites.
Real estate in Empire Pass includes some of the most luxurious ski-in/ski-out homes in the world, along with large townhomes and condominium residences within Deer Valley’s premier alpine lodges—all set just minutes from Historic Main Street.
While the area is best known for its condominiums, single-family homes in Empire Pass are extremely limited. Because of this, opportunities to purchase a home here are rare, making them some of the most sought-after properties in the Park City real estate market.
