Single Story Homes for Sale in Altamont, Utah
Altamont sits in the Uinta Basin at roughly 6,400 feet, a small ranching community in northern Duchesne County surrounded by hay fields, irrigation canals, and the foothills leading up toward the High Uintas. Housing here skews rural and practical, and single story ranchers are the default build — they suit the wide lots, the heavy snow loads that come with basin winters, and the working-property lifestyle that draws most buyers to this corner of Utah. Expect to see ramblers on 1 to 5 acres, often with detached shops, loafing sheds, or pasture, and many with full basements that add square footage without adding stairs to daily living.
For buyers prioritizing one-level living, Altamont's market has real advantages over the Wasatch Front: more land, lower price-per-acre, and homes designed around main-floor function rather than stacked square footage. The trade-offs are honest ones — you're 25 minutes from Roosevelt for groceries and roughly two and a half hours from Salt Lake City — but Altamont Town serves the K-12 school, and the surrounding area gives quick access to fishing on the Strawberry, Moon Lake, and the Uinta forest trailheads. Inventory in a town this size stays tight, so single-level listings move when they're priced right. Browse the active single story homes below to see what's currently on the market in Altamont and the surrounding Bluebell and Mountain Home areas.

Common questions
About single story homes in Altamont.
Are single story homes common in Altamont? ▾
Yes. Most of the housing stock in Altamont is single-level ranch and rambler-style homes built on larger rural lots, often with detached shops or outbuildings. Two-story farmhouses exist, but ranchers dominate, partly because lot sizes make sprawl cheaper than stacking.
What lot sizes come with single story homes in Altamont? ▾
Many ranchers in the Altamont and Bluebell area sit on 1 to 5 acres, and properties with irrigation shares or pasture aren't unusual. If you need horse property or shop space, single-level homes on acreage are the typical setup here.
Do single story homes here usually have basements? ▾
A lot of them do. Full or partial basements are common on Duchesne County ranchers and effectively double the livable square footage while keeping the main floor on one level. If stair-free living is the priority, filter for homes specifically listed as no-basement or slab-on-grade.
What price range should I expect? ▾
Single story homes in Altamont generally run from the mid $300Ks for older ranchers on smaller lots up past $700K for newer builds on multiple acres with shops. Acreage, water rights, and outbuildings move the price more than square footage does.
Is Altamont a good fit for retirees wanting one-level living? ▾
It can be, if rural quiet and a 45-minute drive to Roosevelt or Duchesne for full-service shopping and medical care work for your lifestyle. Winters bring real snow at this elevation (around 6,400 feet), so a single-level layout with an attached garage is a practical setup.
How many single story listings are usually active? ▾
Altamont is a small market — inventory is thin, and active single-level listings often sit in the single digits at any given time. The active MLS results below show what's currently available; setting up a saved search is the best way to catch new ones.
