New Construction Homes for Sale in Huntington, Utah
Huntington sits in Emery County along SR-10, about 30 minutes north of Price and a two-hour drive from the south end of the Wasatch Front. It's a small coal-country town with a working-class history, big lots by Utah standards, and a setting right at the base of the Wasatch Plateau — Huntington Canyon, Electric Lake, and the Manti-La Sal National Forest are all within a short drive. New construction here looks different than what shoppers see in Lehi or Washington City: instead of master-planned subdivisions with rows of identical floor plans, most new builds in Huntington are one-off custom homes on quarter-acre to multi-acre parcels, often with shop space, RV parking, or room for horses already worked into the plans.
Because the town is small (population hovers around 2,000) and builders are mostly local outfits rather than national production companies, new-build inventory on the MLS is limited and turns over slowly. When a brand-new home does come available, it typically reflects what buyers in Castle Country actually want — practical layouts, oversized garages, propane or natural gas heat, and durable exteriors that handle the temperature swings between 95-degree summer afternoons and single-digit winter mornings. Pricing tends to run well under comparable Wasatch Front new construction, which is a big part of why remote workers and retirees have started paying attention to the area.

Common questions
About new construction homes in Huntington.
How much new construction actually happens in Huntington? ▾
Not a lot. Huntington is a small Emery County town of roughly 2,000 people, and most years see only a handful of new builds — often custom homes on private lots rather than tract subdivisions. When a new home does hit the MLS, it tends to move quickly because inventory at any price point is thin.
Who is building new homes in Huntington right now? ▾
Most new construction here comes from local Castle Country builders and owner-builders rather than national production companies. Lots are usually purchased individually, and the home is designed around the buyer's needs — shop space, RV parking, or room for animals are common requests.
What do new builds in Huntington typically cost? ▾
New construction in Huntington generally runs well below Wasatch Front pricing, often in the $350K–$550K range depending on square footage, lot size, and outbuildings. Land costs are lower than Price or Castle Dale, which keeps total build budgets reasonable for buyers coming from out of the area.
Are there utility or well considerations for new builds out here? ▾
Yes. Homes inside town limits typically connect to Huntington City water and sewer, while properties on the outskirts may rely on a well, septic system, and propane instead of natural gas. Always confirm utility hookups and water rights with the listing agent before writing an offer on a new build.
What's the appeal of building or buying new in Huntington specifically? ▾
Huntington sits at the mouth of Huntington Canyon with quick access to Electric Lake, Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry, and SR-31 over Skyline Drive. Buyers drawn here generally want elbow room, hunting and ATV access, and lower property taxes than they'd pay in Utah or Salt Lake counties — new construction lets them set that up exactly how they want it.
How long does a custom build usually take in this area? ▾
Plan on 9 to 14 months from groundbreaking to certificate of occupancy for a typical single-family build, longer if you're waiting on a well permit or custom finishes. Emery County permitting is generally faster and less expensive than Wasatch Front jurisdictions, which is one reason owner-builders favor the area.
