Essential Tech Features for Premium Second-Home Owners

For Efficiency and Peace of Mind 

Escaping to the Wasatch mountains should be a purely relaxing experience. Yet, for many luxury property owners, leaving a mountain retreat vacant for months at a time can bring a subtle sense of anxiety. Buyers expect more than just a breathtaking view of the Jordanelle Reservoir. They want a home that works for them, no matter where they are in the world.

Whether you are wintering in Park City, or spending some time away from the mountains, these four essential tech features will protect your investment and elevate your experience at Shoreline Park City.

1. Remote Climate Control & Energy Management

Park City winters are legendary for their incredible snow, but managing heating bills and worrying about freezing temperatures from three states away shouldn’t be part of the package. Smart thermostats are non-negotiable for the modern second home. They allow you to maintain a safe, cost-effective baseline temperature while the house is empty, and easily turn up the heat from your smartphone while you’re en route from Salt Lake City International Airport.

At Shoreline, this technology works in perfect harmony with our sustainable building practices. Every home here boasts a 49 HERS Score and Energy Star certification. By pairing smart climate tech with our high-quality, energy-efficient builds, you minimize your carbon footprint while maximizing comfort and cost savings.

2. Smart Water Leak Detection Systems

The biggest fear for any winter-destination homeowner is a burst pipe during a deep January freeze. A smart water leak detection system completely neutralizes this threat.

These Wi-Fi-enabled systems monitor your home’s water pressure and flow in real time. If they detect an anomaly, they send an instant alert to your smartphone and can automatically shut off the main water valve. This provides ultimate peace of mind, ensuring your mountain sanctuary remains pristine and protected while unoccupied.

3. Advanced Security & Access Control

Gone are the days of hiding physical keys under a welcome mat. A robust smart home security suite featuring smart locks, video doorbells, and exterior cameras offers unparalleled convenience and safety for remote owners.

Smart locks allow you to generate temporary access codes for property managers and housekeeping staff, all from your phone. You can track exactly who enters and leaves. Meanwhile, exterior camera systems do more than just monitor for security. They let you remotely check the snow accumulation on your driveway or simply admire your sweeping views of the Jordanelle whenever you miss the mountains.

4. Automated Lighting and Motorized Shades

Automated lighting is a brilliant way to keep your property secure. By setting your interior and exterior lights on a randomized, automated schedule, you successfully mimic human presence, deterring any prowlers when the home is empty.

Furthermore, motorized shades for your Marvin Windows are essential for properties with abundant natural light. Shoreline’s expertly designed homes feature expansive windows to capture 360-degree lake and mountain views. Automating your window treatments to lower during peak afternoon sun keeps the house cool and protects your luxury furnishings and hardwood floors from UV damage, effortlessly preserving your interior.
