Single Story Homes for Sale in Fairview, Utah
Fairview is a small Sanpete County town of about 1,250 people sitting at 6,000 feet on the north end of the Sanpete Valley, roughly 90 minutes south of Provo on US-89. Winters are long and snowy here, summers are dry and mild, and the surrounding ranch land, Skyline Drive access, and proximity to Fairview Canyon define the lifestyle. Single story homes make practical sense in a climate like this: no stairs to navigate when the front walk is iced over, easier roof maintenance after heavy snow loads, and floor plans that suit the retirees, ranch families, and remote workers who make up most of Fairview's buyer pool.
Most one-level homes in Fairview fall into two categories. The first is older ramblers and brick post-war homes on quarter-acre to half-acre lots inside the original town grid, often with mature trees and detached shops. The second is newer construction on 1 to 5+ acre parcels along the outskirts, where buyers want a shop, a few horses, or simply distance from neighbors. Pricing generally runs from the upper $300Ks for in-town ramblers up into the $600Ks and beyond for newer builds on acreage with outbuildings and water shares. Inventory in a town this size is limited, so listings come and go quickly. Browse the active single story homes below to see what's currently available in Fairview.

Common questions
About single story homes in Fairview.
Why look for a single story home in Fairview specifically? ▾
Fairview sits at roughly 6,000 feet in Sanpete County, and winters bring real snow and ice. A single-level layout means no hauling groceries up stairs in January, no icy outdoor staircases, and easier roof and gutter access during snow season. It's also the layout most retirees and ranch buyers moving here from the Wasatch Front specifically request.
What's the typical price range for a one-level home in Fairview? ▾
Most single story homes in Fairview trade between the upper $300Ks and mid $600Ks depending on lot size, outbuildings, and whether the property includes acreage or water shares. Older ramblers in town sit at the lower end; newer builds on 1-5 acre parcels north toward Mt. Pleasant or south toward Milburn push higher.
Are most Fairview ramblers on full basements? ▾
Yes, basements are common here because frost lines run deep at this elevation and the foundation depth makes a basement cost-effective. Many listings marketed as single story still include a finished or unfinished basement, which buyers often use for storage, a cold room for canning, or extra bedrooms for visiting family.
Can I find a single-level home on acreage in Fairview? ▾
Frequently. Fairview's rural zoning and agricultural history mean a good share of one-level homes sit on 1 to 10+ acres, often with irrigation rights, a barn or shop, and room for horses. Buyers coming from Utah County specifically target these properties for the combination of single-level living and usable land.
How is heating handled in single story homes at this elevation? ▾
Natural gas forced air is the most common setup in town, with propane on outlying properties beyond the gas line. Wood stoves and pellet stoves are widespread as a backup or primary heat source given how cold Sanpete winters get. Ask for 12 months of utility history before you write an offer.
How many single story listings are usually active in Fairview at one time? ▾
Fairview is small, so inventory is thin. It's normal to see only a handful of qualifying single-level homes active on the MLS at any given moment, and well-priced ones on acreage tend to go under contract quickly. Setting up a saved search is the practical way to catch new listings the day they hit.
