Homes with Acreage for Sale in Apple Valley, Utah
Apple Valley is a small rural town tucked between Hurricane and Zion National Park on SR-59, and it's one of the few places in Washington County where acreage is still the norm rather than the exception. Lot sizes here typically run from one acre on the low end to 20+ acres on the parcels closer to Gooseberry Mesa and the Smithsonian Butte backcountry. Elevation sits around 4,900 feet, which means summers run roughly 10 degrees cooler than St. George and winters see occasional light snow that melts off within a day or two. The terrain is high-desert mesa with red rock views toward Zion, Pine Valley Mountain to the west, and the Vermilion Cliffs to the south.
Buyers drawn to acreage in Apple Valley are usually after some combination of horse property, room for a detached shop or RV barn, dark skies, and distance from HOA-governed subdivisions. Many homes here are stick-built ranchers or modulars on permanent foundations, with a growing share of newer custom builds on 2 to 5 acre lots. Water rights, well status, and septic condition matter more here than in town, so due diligence on those items is worth the extra time. Apple Valley Elementary serves the town and older students attend school in Hurricane, about 20 minutes down the highway.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Apple Valley.
How much land typically comes with an acreage property in Apple Valley? ▾
Most acreage listings in Apple Valley sit on 1 to 5 acres, with a meaningful number of parcels in the 5 to 20 acre range out toward Smithsonian Way and the Gooseberry Mesa side of town. Larger ranch-style holdings of 40+ acres do come up occasionally, often bordering BLM land.
Are horses and livestock allowed on Apple Valley acreage? ▾
Yes. Apple Valley's zoning is built around rural residential use, and horses, chickens, goats, and other livestock are common on parcels of an acre or more. Many properties already have loafing sheds, round pens, or fenced pasture in place, which is part of why buyers shop here instead of Hurricane or Washington.
What's the water situation for larger lots out here? ▾
Most homes are on culinary water through Apple Valley's system, but irrigation is the real question on acreage. Some parcels carry shares or have private wells permitted for stockwater; others rely entirely on hauled or metered culinary water, which limits how much you can realistically irrigate. Always verify water rights and well status before writing an offer.
How far is Apple Valley from St. George and Zion? ▾
Apple Valley sits about 35 minutes east of St. George via SR-9 and roughly 20 minutes from the Zion National Park entrance at Springdale. That proximity to Zion, combined with low traffic and dark night skies, is a big part of the appeal for acreage buyers who want space without driving two hours to a grocery store.
What price range should I expect for acreage homes here? ▾
Entry-level homes on an acre or two generally start in the mid-$400s, with newer builds or upgraded properties on 5+ acres commonly running $650K to $900K. Larger custom homes with outbuildings, shops, and view lots toward Gooseberry can push past $1M, though that's the upper end of what trades in this market.
Are there building restrictions if I want to add a shop or guest casita? ▾
Apple Valley town code is friendlier to outbuildings and accessory structures than most Washington County cities, which is a real draw for buyers who want a detached shop or RV barn. Setbacks, height limits, and ADU rules still apply, so check with the town before closing if a specific build matters to your plans.
