West Point Utah Home Tour: $799K New Build on a Half-Acre Cul-de-Sac Lot

Most new builds squeeze you onto a tiny lot. This West Point Utah home tour shows a brand-new $799,000 Country West two-story sitting on a full half-acre at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.

West Point Utah Home Tour: The Quick Overview

This is a brand-new $799,000 two-story home built by Country West. It sits on a half-acre lot in a quiet West Point, Utah cul-de-sac with open fields behind it.

If you have been shopping new construction in Northern Utah, you already know the lots keep shrinking. That is what makes this home stand out. You get a full half-acre in a city where many new builds sit on a fraction of that.

Here is what you are looking at:

• Price: $799,000
• Builder: Country West
• Style: Brand-new two-story with a full basement
• Lot: About 0.50 acre at the end of a cul-de-sac
• Garage: Side-entry 3-car with a long driveway
• Bedrooms: Four upstairs, plus a main-floor office that can work as a bedroom

West Point sits in western Davis County. You can learn more about the area on our West Point community guide.

Why a Half-Acre Lot Is So Rare in New Builds

Most new subdivisions maximize the number of homes per acre, so lots are small. A half-acre new build gives you room for a shop, garden, play space, or toys that typical lots cannot fit.

Land is the most expensive part of building a home today. Builders often respond by fitting more homes on each acre. That keeps prices down, but it also means small yards and close neighbors.

A half-acre changes how you live. You have room for a big garden, a play set, a future shop, or space to park a trailer or boat (always confirm city and any HOA rules first).

You also get breathing room. With open fields behind the home, you are not staring into a neighbor's back window from your kitchen.

What the Cul-de-Sac Location Gives You

A cul-de-sac means no drive-through traffic. Only the homes on the street use the road, so it is quieter and calmer for kids, bikes, and evening walks.

Through-streets bring cars cutting between neighborhoods. A cul-de-sac stops that. The only drivers coming down your street are your neighbors and their guests.

For many families, that is a big deal. You get a quieter street and less traffic past your front yard.

Cul-de-sac lots also tend to have unique shapes. Here, that shape helps create the endless driveway leading to the side-entry garage.

The Side-Entry 3-Car Garage and Long Driveway

The home has a side-entry 3-car garage reached by a long driveway. According to the listing, the garage can easily store up to four vehicles.

A side-entry garage keeps the garage doors off the front of the house. That gives the home a cleaner look from the street.

The bigger win is space. The garage is described as able to hold up to four vehicles, and the long driveway adds even more parking for guests or extra cars.

If you have teen drivers, a work truck, or outdoor toys, this setup solves a lot of problems that standard two-car garages create.

Inside the Main Floor: Kitchen, Office, and Great Room

The main floor features an upgraded custom kitchen with an oversized white island, quartz countertops, a walk-in pantry, and included energy-efficient appliances, plus a home office, mudroom drop zone, and great room with fireplace.

The kitchen is the heart of this home. You get an oversized white island, quartz countertops, and a walk-in pantry. The energy-efficient appliances are included, so you are not shopping for a fridge on move-in week.

A main-floor home office works well if you work from home. It can also serve as an optional bedroom for guests or a family member who prefers to avoid stairs.

Coming in from the garage, you hit a massive drop-zone mudroom bench. That is where backpacks, boots, and coats land. The great room with a fireplace ties the main level together.

Upstairs: Four Large Bedrooms and a Spa-Style Primary Suite

Upstairs you get four huge bedrooms, including a primary suite with a spa-style soaking tub and a glass walk-in shower.

Putting all four bedrooms on one level keeps the family close. It is a layout many parents prefer, especially with younger kids.

The primary suite is built to feel like a retreat. A spa-style soaking tub and a glass walk-in shower give you two ways to unwind at the end of the day.

Add the main-floor office as a fifth sleeping option, and you have a lot of flexibility for a growing family or visiting relatives.

The Giant Unfinished Basement: Built-In Equity Potential

The basement is unfinished, with rough-in plumbing and cold storage. You can finish it later to add bedrooms, a bathroom, a family room, or a theater on your own timeline.

An unfinished basement is a blank canvas. The rough-in plumbing is already there, so adding a bathroom later is simpler than starting from scratch.

You also get cold storage, which is handy for food storage, a common priority in Utah homes.

Common ways buyers finish a basement like this:

• Extra bedrooms for kids or guests
• A full bathroom using the rough-in
• A family room or home theater
• A home gym or hobby space

Finishing on your own schedule lets you spread out the cost instead of paying for it all up front.

Commute Times: Hill AFB, Ogden, and the SLC Airport

From this West Point home, you are about 20 minutes to Hill AFB South Gate, 27 minutes to downtown Ogden, and 35 minutes to the Salt Lake City airport.

West Point gives you a quieter, more open feel while keeping major job centers within reach. Here is how the drive times from the video break down:

Drive times vary with traffic and time of day. Still, for a home with this much land, those commutes are hard to beat. Explore nearby options on our Davis County communities page.

Is This a Good Fit for Military Families PCSing to Hill AFB?

Yes, for many families. It offers a reasonable drive to Hill AFB, room for vehicles and gear, a flexible main-floor office, and four upstairs bedrooms. VA loan buyers should confirm the price fits their entitlement and budget.

Military families often need space for a lot of stuff: extra vehicles, outdoor gear, and boxes that move every few years. A garage for up to four vehicles and a half-acre handle that well.

Many service members use a VA loan. According to the VA, eligible buyers may be able to purchase with no down payment, depending on entitlement and lender approval. Talk with a VA-experienced lender to see how a $799,000 price fits your numbers.

For base information, visit the official Hill Air Force Base website. Then read our PCS relocation guide for Hill AFB to plan your move step by step.

Financing a $799K West Point Home with a VA Loan

Yes, you can buy this $799,000 home with a VA loan. If you have full entitlement, there's no VA loan limit, so you may be able to put $0 down if you qualify on income and credit.

For many Hill AFB families, the VA home loan is the easiest way into a home at this price. If your full entitlement is available, the VA doesn't cap how much you can borrow. Your lender still has to approve you based on your income, debts, and credit.

Here's what to know before you write an offer:

• No down payment is required with full entitlement.
• No monthly PMI, which can save you hundreds each month compared with a low-down conventional loan.
• A one-time VA funding fee applies unless you're exempt, such as veterans with a service-connected disability rating. It can be rolled into the loan.
• Your BAH can count as income, which helps a lot at this price point.

If you're using partial entitlement because you still own a home from a past duty station, you may need some money down. A good lender can run those numbers in minutes. You can read the official rules on the VA home loans page, then call The DIG Team at (801) 603-5213 and we'll connect you with VA-savvy local lenders.

Down Payment and Closing Costs: What to Budget

Plan for closing costs of roughly 2% to 4% of the price, plus any down payment your loan needs. On a new build, ask Country West about builder or preferred-lender incentives that can cover part of it.

Price is only one piece of the puzzle. On a $799,000 home, you also need cash for closing, and maybe a down payment. A rough rule is that closing costs run about 2% to 4% of the price, but your lender's Loan Estimate gives the real number.

New construction has one big perk: builders often offer incentives when you use their preferred lender. That could mean help with closing costs or a rate buydown. Always compare that offer with an outside lender so you know it's truly a better deal.

Don't forget move-in costs a brand-new home needs, like window coverings, landscaping on a half-acre, and possibly fencing. Budget for those before you close.

New Build vs. Resale in West Point: Which Wins?

A new build gives you a warranty, modern layout, and energy-efficient systems with little early maintenance. A resale may offer mature trees and finished basements, but rarely a half-acre cul-de-sac lot like this one.

West Point has both brand-new homes and older resales. Each has trade-offs, so it helps to compare them side by side.

• Warranty: New builds come with a builder warranty. Resales usually don't, unless the seller buys a home warranty.
• Maintenance: A new roof, furnace, water heater, and energy-efficient appliances mean fewer surprise repairs in your first years.
• Finished space: Many resales have a finished basement. Here, the unfinished basement lets you design it your way and add value over time.
• Lot size: Most newer subdivisions offer small lots. A half-acre on a quiet cul-de-sac is hard to find in either category.
• Landscaping: Resales often have mature yards. A new build may need you to finish or upgrade the landscaping.

If you want low upkeep and room to grow, this home checks a lot of boxes. If you need every square foot finished on day one, a resale might fit better. You can compare both right now on our live listings search or learn more about the area on our West Point community page.

What to Inspect Before Closing on a New Build

Yes, get an independent inspection even on a brand-new home. Focus on grading and drainage, the basement rough-in plumbing, attic insulation, the garage, and finish details, then do a final walk-through before closing.

New doesn't mean perfect. Builders work fast, and small misses happen. A third-party home inspector works for you, not the builder, and is worth every penny.

On this home, pay extra attention to:

1. Grading and drainage on the half-acre lot, so water flows away from the foundation.
2. The unfinished basement, including rough-in plumbing locations, cold storage, and any signs of moisture.
3. Attic insulation and ventilation, which affect your heating and cooling bills.
4. The side-entry 3-car garage: door operation, slab cracks, and the long driveway surface.
5. Kitchen and bath finishes, like quartz seams, cabinet alignment, and the glass walk-in shower seal.

Many buyers do a pre-drywall inspection if the home isn't finished yet, then a final inspection before closing. Make a punch list and get the builder's fixes in writing. Also ask for a copy of the warranty terms and how to file a claim. Moving from out of state? Our Hill AFB PCS relocation guide explains how we handle inspections when you can't be there in person.

Who This West Point Home Fits Best

This home fits growing families, Hill AFB households, and buyers with trucks, trailers, or hobbies who want space, privacy, and a quiet cul-de-sac without giving up a reasonable commute.

Not every home works for every buyer. This one shines for a few types of households.

• Growing families: Four large upstairs bedrooms, a main-floor office that can become a bedroom, and a big drop-zone mudroom make busy days easier.
• Military families: About 20 minutes to the Hill AFB South Gate, plus a basement you can finish later to build equity before your next PCS.
• Toy and vehicle owners: The long driveway and side-entry garage can hold up to four vehicles, with room on the lot for more.
• Remote workers: A dedicated main-floor home office keeps work separate from family life.
• Privacy seekers: No drive-through traffic and open fields behind you.

It may be less ideal if you want a small yard with little upkeep, or if you need a fully finished basement right away. West Point sits in western Davis County, so you get a quieter, more open feel while still being about 27 minutes from downtown Ogden.

Tips for Buying New Construction in West Point Utah

Bring your own agent on your first builder visit, ask what is included versus upgraded, get an independent inspection, and confirm warranty terms before you sign.

Buying a brand-new home is different from buying a resale. Keep these steps in mind:

1. Bring your agent on the first visit. Many builders require it for buyer representation.
2. Ask what is included. This home includes energy-efficient appliances, but always confirm every finish in writing.
3. Get an independent inspection. New does not mean perfect.
4. Review the builder warranty. Know what is covered and for how long.
5. Check lot rules. If you plan a shop or RV parking, verify city and HOA requirements first.
