If you’re dreaming of building a custom farmhouse in Eden, Utah, you’re not alone. More and more families, couples, and empty-nesters are choosing the quiet beauty of Ogden Valley to create their forever home. Whether you’re planning to retire near the mountains, want more land for your family and horses, or simply crave that clean, open farmhouse style, you’re in the right place.

At Peterson Builders, we’ve been building in Eden and the surrounding Ogden Valley for nearly 50 years. This isn’t just where we work—it’s where we live, raise our families, and connect with our neighbors. If you’re considering building a luxury modern farmhouse, here’s what you need to know before you start.

Why People Are Building Farmhouses in Eden, Utah

Eden offers a rare mix of mountain beauty, open land, and a tight-knit community. Many of our clients are looking for:

• A slower, quieter lifestyle away from the Wasatch Front traffic

• Horse property or acreage to create their own private retreat

• A custom home that blends modern comfort with farmhouse charm

• Proximity to ski resorts, Pineview Reservoir, and hiking trails

• Room for multigenerational living or long-term family use

And when it comes to style, modern farmhouses are having a major moment. Think: clean white exteriors, black-framed windows, metal roofs, warm wood accents, and wide porches designed for mountain sunsets.

What to Consider Before You Build

If you’re planning your first custom build—or even your second—you likely care about quality, long-term value, and doing it right the first time. Here are a few things to think about:

🛠️ 1. Finding the Right Land

Eden has a mix of land with different zoning and access to utilities. We help clients evaluate properties for:

• Buildability (slope, soil, access)

• Water rights and well/septic feasibility

• Views and sun exposure

📐 2. Choosing the Architect & Designers

Whether you want a home office, gym, guest suite, or open-concept kitchen for hosting, we can help you find an architect that works for your lifestyle. Many clients in your stage of life are opting for:

• Main-level living with flexible space upstairs

• Walk-out basements for recreation or rental income

• Mudrooms and oversized garages for outdoor gear and storage

🌱 3. Planning for Lifestyle & Long-Term Use

We often build homes with:

• Dedicated space for kids or grandkids

• Outdoor living areas like covered patios or decks with fireplaces

• Barns or workshops for hobbies and equipment

• Smart home features and energy-efficient systems
