New Construction Homes for Sale in Francis, Utah
Francis is a small Kamas Valley town of roughly 1,500 residents tucked between the Uinta Mountains and Park City, and new construction here looks nothing like the rooftop-to-rooftop subdivisions you see along the Wasatch Front. Lots tend to be larger (half-acre to five-plus acres is common), HOAs are lighter, and most builds are either semi-custom or full custom rather than tract product. Buyers come for the combination of rural feel, South Summit schools, and the fact that Park City's Kimball Junction is only about 20 minutes up SR-248. Elevation sits around 6,500 feet, so winters bring real snow and summer evenings stay cool — design choices like steep roof pitches, in-floor radiant heat, and oversized garages for plows and toys are standard rather than upgrades.
Active new-build inventory in Francis shifts between spec homes in established pockets like Pine Meadow Ranch and Woodland and custom projects on acreage off Center Street, Lambert Lane, and the SR-32 corridor. Pricing has held up better here than in some valley markets because land supply is limited and the South Summit area continues to draw buyers priced out of Park City proper. Expect a mix of mountain-modern, traditional ranch, and timber-frame designs, with build timelines running roughly a year for a straightforward custom on a serviced lot. Browse the active new construction listings below to see what's currently on the market, and reach out if you want builder references or a walk-through of lots that haven't hit the MLS yet.

Common questions
About new construction homes in Francis.
What new construction is actually being built in Francis right now? ▾
Most new builds in Francis fall into two camps: custom homes on 1-5 acre lots in subdivisions like Pine Meadow Ranch and Woodland Hills, and a smaller number of production-style homes closer to Highway 35. Lot premiums vary widely depending on whether the parcel has Uinta views, river frontage, or backs to open space. Builders active in the area include local Summit and Wasatch County custom outfits rather than the big national names you see down in Utah County.
How does Francis compare to Kamas or Oakley for new builds? ▾
Francis sits just south of Kamas on SR-32 and tends to have slightly more available land and a quieter feel, while Kamas has more commercial services and Oakley skews toward larger ranch parcels. Pricing in Francis often comes in a touch below Kamas for comparable square footage, though anything with a Uinta view or water rights closes that gap quickly. All three share the South Summit School District.
What should I know about wells, septic, and utilities on new builds here? ▾
Many Francis lots outside the town core are on private well and septic rather than municipal systems, which affects both build cost and timeline. Water rights are a real conversation in this part of Summit County, so confirm what conveys with the lot before going under contract. Natural gas service is available in some subdivisions but not all, so propane and high-efficiency electric are common backups.
How long is a typical build timeline in Francis? ▾
Plan on 12-18 months from lot purchase to certificate of occupancy for a custom home, longer if you're navigating Summit County's review process or building at elevation where the construction window tightens in winter. Spec homes already underway obviously close much faster. Snow load, frost depth, and HOA architectural review in places like Pine Meadow add steps you wouldn't hit down in the valley.
Is Francis a good fit for full-time living or second homes? ▾
Both work here. Francis is about 20 minutes to Park City's Kimball Junction, 45 minutes to Salt Lake International, and 30 minutes to the Mirror Lake Highway, so commuters and weekenders both make it work. Winters are real (the Kamas Valley regularly sees colder lows than Park City proper), so factor heating, plowing, and a 4WD vehicle into the math.
What's the price range for new construction in Francis? ▾
Entry-level new builds on smaller in-town lots generally start in the high $800s to low $1M range, while custom homes on view acreage routinely run $1.5M to $3M+ depending on finishes and lot size. Land alone in the desirable subdivisions typically trades between $300K and $900K. The active listings below will show what's currently priced and available.
