Creating a community from scratch requires high-quality ingredients, perseverance, and a compelling vision. Terraine, a new community in the West Bench, in the foothills of the Oquirrh Mountains in the Salt Lake Valley, embodies these qualities. Here's a glimpse into what makes Terraine special.

A Symbiotic Setting

Terraine is located in the West Bench, a unique area with a rich history and stunning natural beauty. This land has sustained both habitat and humankind for generations, from Indigenous peoples to modern-day nature enthusiasts. The community is built on a 650-acre ranch owned by the Wood family for over 80 years.

Cohesive Design

Nestled within this breathtaking new community, Tri Pointe Homes will be offering a harmonious blend of modern living and the natural beauty that surrounds it. The designs at Polaris at Terraine were created to complement the natural elegance of the region, and reflect the essence of the land – where wide-open spaces meet contemporary comfort. Offering multiple floorplans, homes will feature 3-4 bedrooms, 2 bay garages with living areas ranging from 2,013 – 3,438 square feet. Whether you’re drawn to panoramic mountain views, the serenity of nearby trails, or the sense of belonging in a beautifully crafted community, these homes are designed to inspire. More than just a place to live, this neighborhood is an invitation to embrace the outdoors, find balance, and create lasting memories in a home that feels as natural as the landscape itself.

Elevating Our Ecosystem

Terraine is not just a place but an idea. The community integrates nature into its design, creating a dynamic and wild ecosystem. The native landscape, known as the "sagebrush sea," is central to Terraine's evolution. The community uses native plants and well-adapted non-native varieties to create a thriving habitat for both humans and wildlife. It emphasizes drought-resistant plant species to create a responsible and intentional connection between the neighborhood and local open space. This approach links the past, present, and future, similar to Terraine's architectural character.

The Village That Thinks It's a Camp

This community combines the charm of a village with the spirit of an adventure camp. The community is organized around a central hub with buildings, an outdoor commons, and an amphitheater. The hub and various parks offer recreational opportunities, a robust social calendar, and unique educational offerings. One-third of Terraine is planned to be preserved as walkable trails and open space, perfect for exploration.

Planned Community Features

  • The Shed: A welcoming café, outfitter, and interpretive center.

  • The Grange: An indoor meeting space for community events and clubs.

  • The Lanterns: Small pavilions scattered throughout Terraine, each with a different purpose.
