Schneitters Swiss Oaks (full name) took 10 years to build and was the first commercial Planned Unit Development in Heber Valley, completed in 1995. Robert Fuller conceived the idea of a Swiss community laid out like a Swiss Village on a hillside. Complete with Fresco paintings by Austrian artist Gerhard Lipp, a park, tennis courts, sport court and 15 acres of grounds, Swiss Oaks even boasts the first town Cemetery for “Mound City” dating back to 1870 with 4 Pioneer graves located in the square on the edge of the community park. The property was owned by his mothers family, the Schneitters, for over 120 years when he purchased the land and designed the community. He had the concept in mind since he was 19 and his family would recreate on the property. Swiss Oaks was so named because of its heritage (Schneitter family from St. Imier, Bern, Switzerland), architecture, location in Midway, and the native Gamble Oak that covers the hillside and surrounds the residences. The oak turns vibrant colors in the fall as seen in this picture to add a seasonal beauty to Swiss Oaks.

The layout shows the unique village style of Swiss Oaks with its center square and clubhouse. The Community Clubhouse shows 100 years of genealogy and history of the Schneitter and Fuller families painted as fresco building paintings on the front with its bell ringing clock tower. Located in the clubhouse are the offices, kitchen and banquet room for owners use, children’s activity room, workout room with cardio and fixed workout equipment, game room, racquetball court, locker rooms, sauna and large whirlpool. The building is used for Swiss Oaks community events and private owners use.
