Single Story Homes for Sale in Cedar Fort, Utah
Cedar Fort is a small ranching town on the west side of Cedar Valley in northern Utah County, sitting at about 4,900 feet just over Five Mile Pass from Lehi. The community is rural by design — large lots, horse property, dirt roads off the main grid, and a population that still hovers around 500. Single story homes fit the area naturally: most parcels here are wide and flat enough that builders don't need to go vertical, and longtime residents tend to prefer ramblers and walkout ramblers that work for aging in place, equipment access, and Utah winters where hauling groceries up a flight of stairs in January gets old fast.
Buyers looking at single level listings in Cedar Fort are usually trading the density of Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, or Lehi for acreage, quiet, and room for shops, RVs, or livestock. Expect to see a mix of older brick ramblers from the 70s and 80s, newer custom builds on 1-5 acre lots, and the occasional manufactured home on a permanent foundation. Well and septic are common, natural gas is not universal, and Alpine School District serves the area (with bus routes into Eagle Mountain schools). Inventory is thin compared to neighboring cities, so single story options can move quickly when priced right. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market in Cedar Fort.

Common questions
About single story homes in Cedar Fort.
Are most homes in Cedar Fort single story to begin with? ▾
A large share of the housing stock in Cedar Fort is single level, especially on the older ranch parcels along Main Street and the newer rambler builds going up on acre-plus lots. Two-story farmhouses exist, but ramblers and walkout ramblers dominate what comes to market here.
What lot sizes should I expect with a single story home in Cedar Fort? ▾
Cedar Fort sits in Cedar Valley with very few small-lot subdivisions, so single story listings typically come with anywhere from a half-acre up to 5+ acres. Many include space for horses, outbuildings, or a shop, which is part of why buyers leave the Lehi/Saratoga Springs grid for this side of the mountain.
Do single story homes here usually have basements? ▾
Yes, most ramblers in Cedar Fort are built with full or walkout basements because the soil and slope allow for it. That gives buyers main-level living upstairs plus a large finished or unfinished basement for additional bedrooms, storage, or a future ADU.
How does well and septic factor into single level homes out here? ▾
Many properties in Cedar Fort are on private well and septic rather than municipal utilities. When touring single story listings, ask for the well log, water rights (acre-feet), and septic inspection records — these affect both your loan and your long-term cost of ownership.
What's the commute like from a single story home in Cedar Fort? ▾
Cedar Fort is about 20-25 minutes to Lehi via SR-73 over Five Mile Pass, and roughly 45-50 minutes to downtown Salt Lake or the SLC airport depending on traffic at the Point of the Mountain. Winter storms over the pass can add time, which is worth factoring in.
Are single story homes in Cedar Fort priced higher than two-story homes? ▾
Per square foot, ramblers here often price slightly above two-story homes because the foundation and roof footprint are larger. That said, total price depends much more on acreage, outbuildings, and water rights than on the number of stories.
