Mimi Sinclair November Newsletter No Images? Click here The Season for Giving ThanksNovember is typically a month when many of us will take a few moments to be thankful for all that we have. Our friends, family, and a space to call home are often at the top of people’s list of items for which we are thankful. During the holidays, your home can be so important if you are hosting a family dinner, a holiday party, or a specific holiday celebration. Some homes are designed to be showcased and used for entertaining and family gatherings, while others do well with more intimate gatherings. How do you use your space? HOME HIGHLIGHT- LIVING IN THE CANYONS- There are a number of canyons that are close to Salt Lake with year-round access. Carrigan Canyon is located on the East Bench above Foothill Drive. Near the canyon entrance, there is a beautiful gated community with high-end properties tucked near the base of the mountain. Millcreek Canyon has some spectacular properties that sit along the stream at the base of the canyon. These homes are typically ramblers that sit on large lots with backyards to die for. Neffs Canyon has a number of homes that are located in the shadow of Mt. Olympus and all its majesty. These homes provide true mountain living experiences with easy access to city conveniences. These homes also have easy access to the Millcreek trail system. Emigration Canyon is one of the most well-known Canyons in the Valley. There are a number of different pockets of neighborhoods within the canyon all with a different feel. Here is a listing I currently have in Emigration Canyon that should be on your list of must-sees if you aspire to live in the mountains. Click here to see the full listing or here to see a video tour of the property. Here are just a few of things that people who live in the canyons love about their homes:
