Single Story Homes for Sale in Ferron, Utah
Ferron sits in Emery County at the base of the Wasatch Plateau, a small coal-and-ranching town of roughly 1,500 people about two and a half hours south of Salt Lake City off Highway 10. Single-story homes dominate the housing stock here — most of what trades on the MLS was built between the 1940s and the 1990s as ramblers on quarter-acre to full-acre lots, with detached shops, irrigation shares from Ferron Creek, and views out toward Millsite Reservoir and the plateau cliffs. Two-story builds are the exception, not the rule, which makes a single-level search in Ferron less of a filter and more of a default. Prices typically run well below the Wasatch Front average, with many ramblers trading in the $200Ks to low $400Ks depending on acreage, outbuildings, and condition.
The appeal of single-level living here is practical. Winters bring snow and ice on driveways and walks, the median age in Emery County skews older than the state average, and many buyers are retirees, coal industry workers, or families wanting a shop and some pasture without stairs in the way. Mechanical systems matter — check the age of the furnace, well or culinary connection, septic, and whether the home has a basement (many Ferron ramblers do, which adds storage and a storm shelter without adding stairs to daily living). Browse the active single-story listings below to see what's currently on the market in town and out toward Molen and Clawson.

Common questions
About single story homes in Ferron.
Are most homes in Ferron single-story to begin with? ▾
Yes. The vast majority of Ferron's housing stock is single-level ramblers, often with a full or partial basement. True two-story homes are uncommon here, so buyers searching for single-story have a wide pool to choose from relative to the town's size.
Do single-story homes in Ferron usually have basements? ▾
Many do. A finished or partially finished basement is common on homes built from the 1960s onward, which effectively doubles the square footage without putting stairs in your daily path. If basement access matters for storage or a storm shelter but you want main-floor living, Ferron's housing stock fits that pattern well.
What price range should I expect for a single-level home in Ferron? ▾
Most single-story homes in Ferron trade between the low $200Ks and the low $400Ks, with the spread driven by acreage, outbuildings, and updates. Homes with a shop, irrigation shares, or a few acres toward Molen tend to land at the upper end.
Is acreage common with single-story listings here? ▾
It's common to see lots from a quarter acre in town up to several acres on the edges of Ferron and out toward Clawson and Molen. Irrigation water from Ferron Creek and Millsite is often included with rural parcels, which matters if you want pasture, a garden, or to keep a few animals.
Are there HOA-restricted single-story subdivisions in Ferron? ▾
No. Ferron doesn't have the master-planned, HOA-governed subdivisions you'd see in St. George or Lehi. Most single-story homes sit on individual lots with no HOA, which keeps monthly carrying costs lower but means upkeep and aesthetics are entirely on the owner.
What should I inspect closely on an older Ferron rambler? ▾
Pay attention to the furnace age, roof condition, electrical panel, and whether the home is on culinary water or a private well. Septic systems are common outside the town core, and many properties carry irrigation shares that need to be verified and transferred at closing.
