New Construction Homes for Sale in Kamas, Utah
Kamas sits at the mouth of the Kamas Valley, a few minutes from the Jordanelle and about 25 minutes from Park City on Highway 248, which has made it one of the last spots in Summit County where builders can still work with land that isn't priced like the resort core. New construction here ranges from custom homes on 1-5 acre lots out toward Marion and Francis to smaller subdivisions closer to town where you can still walk to the elementary school. Elevation runs around 6,500 feet, so buyers moving from the Salt Lake valley should expect a longer, snowier winter and plan HVAC and driveway heating accordingly - most builders working this area already spec for it.
Because Kamas isn't zoned like Park City, new builds tend to come with fewer HOA restrictions and more room for shops, barns, and horse setups, which is a draw for buyers leaving denser Wasatch Back communities. Lot availability moves fast when the snow clears in spring, and builders here range from small local crews who know how to handle the frost line to larger production outfits with a few spec homes going up near town. Water rights and septic versus sewer hookups vary block by block, so it's worth checking that early with any lot you're considering.

Common questions
About new construction homes in Kamas.
How long does a new build typically take to complete in the Kamas Valley? ▾
Plan on 10 to 14 months from groundbreaking for a custom home on acreage, longer if you're drilling a new well or installing a septic system. Summit County permitting adds 8 to 12 weeks on the front end, and winter shutdowns between December and March can stretch concrete and exterior work. Production builds in subdivisions with utilities already stubbed move faster, usually 7 to 9 months.
Are most new homes in Kamas on well and septic or city utilities? ▾
It depends on the parcel. Homes inside Kamas City limits and parts of Francis hook to municipal water and sewer. Anything in Woodland, Marion, Peoa, or Samak — which covers most of the larger acreage builds — is well and septic. Budget $25K–$45K for a well and $15K–$30K for a septic system if those aren't already in place.
What do new construction homes in Kamas usually cost per square foot? ▾
Production builds in established subdivisions are running roughly $375–$475 per square foot finished. Custom mountain-modern homes with higher-end finishes, structural steel, and large window packages typically land between $550 and $850 per square foot. Lot cost is separate and varies enormously — a flat acre in Francis might be $250K while a view lot in Tuhaye can exceed $1M.
Can I still buy land and build my own home, or is most new inventory builder-owned? ▾
Both paths are active. There are still raw and improved lots available in Woodland, Wild Willow, and parts of Hideout where you can bring your own builder, though Summit County design guidelines apply on many of them. Builder-owned spec and to-be-built inventory tends to be concentrated in the platted subdivisions around Kamas town and along the Highway 248 corridor.
Do new homes here come with HOAs and what do they cover? ▾
It varies by community. Subdivisions like Sunrise Estates and Wild Willow have HOAs running $100–$400 per month covering road maintenance, snow removal on private roads, and common open space. Homes on county-maintained roads in Woodland and Marion often have no HOA at all, which is part of the appeal for buyers who want livestock, RVs, or outbuildings without architectural review.
How does South Summit School District factor into new construction demand? ▾
It's a real driver. South Summit High in Kamas consistently ranks among Utah's stronger rural districts, class sizes are small, and families relocating from Park City often build in Kamas specifically to keep kids in South Summit schools rather than Park City School District. That's pushed steady demand for 3,000+ square foot family homes on quarter-acre to one-acre lots in the Francis and Kamas town areas.
