Single Story Homes for Sale in Kamas, Utah
Kamas sits at the mouth of the Kamas Valley, gateway to the Uinta Mountains and about a 15-minute drive from the Jordanelle and Deer Valley East expansion. Winters here run colder and snowier than the Wasatch Front — Summit County averages well over 100 inches of snow a year in the valley floor, more up toward Marion and Woodland. That climate is a big reason single story homes hold steady demand: no stairs to navigate when the driveway's iced over, easier snow-shoveling logistics, and simpler heating since you're not fighting to warm a stacked floor plan through a long mountain winter. Many buyers here are retirees or second-home owners from the Wasatch Front and out of state who want a rambler or ranch-style layout on an acre or more, with room for a shop or horses, rather than a condo in Park City proper.
Single story inventory in Kamas tends to split between older rambler-style homes on larger lots close to Main Street and newer custom ranch builds out toward Francis and Marion, often on 1-5 acre parcels with well and septic. Because lots here are bigger than what you'll find in Park City or Heber, single level square footage can run larger too — 2,500 to 4,500 finished square feet isn't unusual for a one-story custom build. Expect prices to track closely with acreage and proximity to Highway 32 or the Jordanelle. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About single story homes in Kamas.
Why are single-story homes popular in Kamas? ▾
Heavy snow, long winters, and an older retiree population shifting over from Park City all push demand toward one-level living. No icy stairs, easier roof and gutter access, and simpler aging-in-place layouts are the main practical reasons. Younger families also like single-story plans on the larger lots typical to Kamas Valley.
What's the price range for single-level homes in Kamas right now? ▾
Older in-town ramblers on smaller lots typically start in the high $700s to low $900s. Newer single-story builds in subdivisions like Hi Country or Forest Meadow generally run $1.1M to $1.8M, and custom one-level homes on acreage with Uinta or Jordanelle views regularly clear $2M.
Are most single-story Kamas homes on full basements? ▾
Yes — full or daylight basements are the norm given the climate and the way local builders frame for frost depth. That means a rambler listed as roughly 2,000 finished square feet on the main level often delivers 3,500–4,000 total once the basement is finished. It's worth checking finished vs. unfinished square footage on each listing.
Can I find single-level homes on acreage or with horse property in Kamas? ▾
Definitely. Kamas Valley, Marion, Francis, and Woodland all have one-level homes sitting on one to five-plus acres, many with existing barns, loafing sheds, or irrigation rights. South Summit zoning is generally horse-friendly, but always confirm water shares and animal counts with the listing agent.
How far is Kamas from Park City and the Salt Lake airport? ▾
Park City's Old Town is about 18 miles via Highway 248, roughly 25 to 30 minutes depending on season. Salt Lake International runs about 45 to 55 minutes via I-80, which is one reason a lot of second-home and retiree buyers land here instead of pricier Park City addresses.
What should I know about wells, septic, and utilities on rural single-story listings? ▾
Plenty of homes outside Kamas city limits run on private well and septic rather than municipal services. Budget for a well flow test, water quality test, and septic inspection during due diligence. Natural gas is available in town; rural properties more often use propane plus electric, and that affects long-term heating costs.
