Overview
Country Estates is a prestigious and established neighborhood in the southeast corner of Sandy, Utah, nestled against the foothills of the Wasatch Range. It is known for its large, custom-built homes on expansive lots, offering privacy and stunning mountain views. The area provides a serene, semi-rural atmosphere while remaining conveniently close to the amenities of the Salt Lake Valley.
Character & Lifestyle

Residents enjoy a peaceful lifestyle defined by spacious properties, mature trees, and winding streets with minimal through traffic. The setting emphasizes outdoor living and a connection to the natural beauty of the adjacent foothills and mountain vistas.
Housing
Housing in Country Estates primarily consists of large, custom-built single-family homes, many built from the 1970s through the 1990s, on lots that often exceed one acre. Architectural styles are varied, including traditional, contemporary, and rustic mountain designs. The properties are some of the most sizable and sought-after in Sandy, commanding premium prices for their land and panoramic views.
Getting Around
Country Estates is accessed via major roads like Little Cottonwood Road (UT-209) and Wasatch Boulevard (UT-190), providing routes to I-215 and I-15. The neighborhood's internal roads are quiet and residential, not designed for heavy traffic. While car-dependent, it offers a relatively quick commute to the Cottonwood Canyons, downtown Sandy, and the Salt Lake City metropolitan area.
Dining & Shopping
Residents typically drive a short distance to the shopping centers along Fort Union Boulevard or the heart of Sandy for major retail and dining. Nearby options include the Shops at South Town, Sandy Promenade, and a variety of local restaurants. For everyday essentials, smaller plazas with grocery stores and services are conveniently located just outside the neighborhood.
Parks & Recreation
The neighborhood borders the expansive Dimple Dell Regional Park, a massive natural gulch with over 600 acres of trails for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking.
