Living in Timber Lakes: Heber Valley's Private Mountain Sanctuary
Timber Lakes is a premier private, gated mountain community located just 7 miles east of Heber City. Surrounded by the Uinta National Forest, it offers an unparalleled lifestyle defined by roaming moose, spectacular "High Country" vistas, and immediate access to world-class snowmobiling and ATV trails. It is the top choice for buyers seeking a high-altitude retreat that feels worlds away while remaining just 30 minutes from the Park City ski resorts.
The community is entering its most active season in Spring 2026. The Timber Lakes Property Owners Association (TLPOA) is currently executing its 2026 Wildfire Mitigation Plan, which includes community-wide chipping days and fuel-reduction initiatives to protect the area's natural beauty. Additionally, the city is finalizing its 2026 Road Maintenance Schedule, focusing on gravel stabilization and dust control for the lower-tier residential loops. Whether you are looking for a rustic seasonal cabin or a modern year-round luxury estate, Timber Lakes represents the gold standard for private mountain living in the Heber Valley.
