New Construction Homes for Sale in Orderville, Utah
Orderville is a small ranching town in Long Valley along Highway 89, tucked between Zion National Park to the south and Bryce Canyon to the north. The population hovers around 600, the elevation sits near 5,450 feet, and the surrounding red-rock and ponderosa landscape gives the area a different feel than Utah's busier building corridors. New construction here means custom homes on rural acreage, the occasional infill build on a town lot, or barndominium-style projects on parcels along the East Fork of the Virgin River. There are no large-scale subdivisions like you'd see in St. George or Washington, which is part of why buyers come looking in the first place.
Most buyers shopping new builds in Orderville fall into a few camps: people relocating for the dark skies and outdoor access, second-home owners who want a base between the two national parks, and Kane County locals upgrading from older homes in Glendale, Mt. Carmel, or Long Valley Junction. Build costs run higher per square foot than in southern Utah's metro areas because the contractor pool is smaller and materials travel farther, but land is comparatively affordable and lots over an acre are common. Winters bring real snow at this elevation, summers are mild compared to St. George, and shoulder seasons are long.

Common questions
About new construction homes in Orderville.
How much new construction is actually happening in Orderville? ▾
Very little compared to Washington County or the Wasatch Front. Orderville and neighboring Mt. Carmel together have only a few hundred residents, and most new builds are custom homes on rural lots rather than tract subdivisions. On any given month there may be only a handful of new-construction listings in the MLS for this corridor.
What does a typical new build in Orderville cost? ▾
Pricing varies widely because lot sizes range from half-acre village parcels to multi-acre rural tracts along Highway 89. Custom builds on larger acreage commonly run from the upper $400s into the $800s depending on square footage, finishes, and whether the property includes outbuildings or water shares. Modular and smaller stick-built homes can come in lower.
Is well water or culinary water more common for new builds here? ▾
Both exist. Homes inside Orderville town limits typically connect to the municipal culinary system, while properties on the outskirts toward Glendale or up the side canyons often rely on private wells. Septic systems are standard outside town since there is no large-scale sewer infrastructure in the area.
How long does it take to build in Kane County? ▾
Plan on 9 to 14 months from permit to certificate of occupancy for a custom home, sometimes longer if the lot needs a well drilled or a long driveway cut. Kane County's building department is small but generally moves quicker than fast-growing counties to the west, and the limited contractor pool means scheduling your builder early matters.
What's the appeal of building in Orderville versus closer to Zion? ▾
Orderville sits about 25 minutes north of the east entrance to Zion National Park along Highway 89, putting it in the path of park visitors without the short-term rental saturation of Springdale or Hurricane. Buyers come here for dark skies, quiet, proximity to Bryce Canyon and Coral Pink Sand Dunes, and land prices that are still a fraction of what you'd pay in Washington County.
Are short-term rentals allowed on new builds? ▾
Rules vary by zone and have tightened across Kane County in recent years. Some county-zoned parcels still permit nightly rentals with the right overlay, but inside Orderville town limits the regulations are stricter. Verify the current ordinance with Kane County or the town clerk before building with rental income in mind.
