Homes with Acreage for Sale in Glendale, Utah
Glendale is a small ranching town in Long Valley, tucked along Highway 89 between Orderville and the north end of Zion National Park. Acreage here looks different than acreage in the Wasatch Front suburbs: parcels are genuinely rural, often with irrigated pasture fed by the East Fork of the Virgin River, mature cottonwoods, and red-rock canyon walls rising on both sides of the valley. Buyers usually come looking for room to keep horses, run a few head of cattle, build a shop or barn, or just put real distance between themselves and a neighbor's window. Kane County zoning is agriculture-friendly, well water and septic are the norm outside the town core, and many older properties carry shares in the Glendale Irrigation Company.
The trade-off is remoteness. Glendale's population sits under 400, the nearest grocery run is Kanab or Orderville, and winter mornings in Long Valley can drop into the teens even though summer days are mild compared to St. George. That said, Zion's east entrance is about 20 minutes south, Bryce is an hour northeast, and Kanab's growing economy is a short commute. For buyers who want a working hobby farm, a horse property, or a quiet rural homestead within striking distance of southern Utah's national parks, Glendale acreage is a narrow but interesting market.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Glendale.
How much land typically comes with an acreage property in Glendale? ▾
Most acreage listings in Glendale run from 1 to 10 acres, with larger ranch parcels of 20+ acres showing up a few times a year along the Long Valley floor and up toward Glendale Bench. Irrigated pasture is more common than dry desert ground because the East Fork of the Virgin River runs through town.
Does land in Glendale usually come with water rights? ▾
Many of the older parcels along Main Street and the river bottoms carry shares in the Glendale Irrigation Company, which is a major value driver in Kane County. Always verify share counts and delivery schedules during due diligence — water rights here trade separately from the deed in some cases.
Can I keep horses, cattle, or chickens on a Glendale acreage property? ▾
Yes. Kane County zoning around Glendale is rural and agricultural-friendly, and horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and poultry are standard. Lots over an acre generally have room for a barn, loafing shed, and small arena without conditional use hassles.
How far is Glendale from larger towns and services? ▾
Glendale sits on Highway 89 about 25 minutes north of Kanab, 45 minutes from Zion's east entrance, and roughly 75 minutes from St. George. Groceries and basic services are in Orderville and Kanab; bigger shopping and the regional airport are in St. George or Cedar City.
What do acreage homes in Glendale typically sell for? ▾
Pricing varies widely with acreage and water, but single-family homes on 1–5 acres generally land in the mid $400s to high $700s, while larger irrigated ranches with outbuildings can run well past $1M. Raw land without a house trades much lower per acre.
Are short-term rentals allowed on rural Glendale properties? ▾
Short-term rental rules fall under Kane County and, inside town limits, the Town of Glendale. Some rural zones allow nightly rentals with a permit, others do not — this is worth confirming parcel by parcel before writing an offer, especially given the proximity to Zion traffic.
