Single Story Homes for Sale in Emery, Utah
Emery is a small town in Emery County tucked between the San Rafael Swell and the Wasatch Plateau, with a population that hovers around 300 and a setting that's pure rural Utah. Single story homes — ramblers, ranch-style builds, and modest single-level cottages — make up the bulk of what gets built and resold here. That's partly a function of lot size (most parcels in and around Emery are generous, so there's no reason to build up) and partly a reflection of the buyer pool: retirees, ranching families, and folks working at the nearby Hunter and Huntington power plants who want easy single-level living with a shop, pasture, or RV parking out back.
Climate matters when picking a one-level home in this part of the state. Emery sits at about 6,250 feet, so winters bring real snow and summer afternoons stay dry and warm rather than oppressive. Single-level floor plans make snow-season living easier — no stairs to haul groceries up after a storm — and they pair naturally with the attached garages and mudrooms most buyers want here. Inventory is thin compared to Wasatch Front cities, so listings move on their own rhythm and pricing tends to reflect land, outbuildings, and water shares as much as the house itself.

Common questions
About single story homes in Emery.
Why are single story homes so common in Emery? ▾
Emery developed as a small ranching and coal community where most homes were built on generous lots with no need to stack square footage. Land has never been the constraint here, so builders historically spread floor plans out rather than up. That history means ramblers and ranch-style homes dominate the existing inventory.
What's the typical lot size for a single story home in Emery? ▾
Most single-level homes in Emery sit on lots ranging from a quarter acre up to several acres, with some properties including pasture, outbuildings, or water shares. Larger acreage parcels with a rambler-style house are common on the edges of town. If you want room for horses, a shop, or an RV pad, the inventory generally supports it.
Are basements common under single story homes here? ▾
Yes — many Emery ramblers have full or partial basements, which effectively doubles usable square footage while keeping all primary living on one level. Basements are often unfinished, leaving room for buyers to build out additional bedrooms or a family room over time. Walkout basements appear on lots with grade changes near the foothills.
How does single-level living suit Emery's climate? ▾
Emery sits at roughly 6,250 feet with cold, snowy winters and dry summers. Single story homes mean no icy exterior stairs to navigate in January and easier roof access for clearing snow loads. Heating costs also tend to be more predictable when conditioned air isn't fighting to reach a second floor.
What price range should I expect for a single story home in Emery? ▾
Pricing in Emery runs well below Wasatch Front averages, with most single-level homes trading in a range that reflects the rural setting and small population. Condition, acreage, and outbuildings drive most of the price variation. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently available and how the homes are priced against lot size.
How far is Emery from larger services and employment? ▾
Emery is in Emery County along Highway 10, roughly 30 minutes from Castle Dale and Huntington, about an hour from Price, and around three hours from Salt Lake City. Buyers here typically work in coal, power generation, agriculture, or remote roles. Grocery and medical runs are usually handled in Castle Dale or Price.
