Single Story Homes for Sale in Plymouth, Utah
Plymouth sits in northern Box Elder County right off I-15, about 20 minutes north of Brigham City and roughly an hour and a half from Salt Lake City International. It's a small farming town — fewer than 500 residents — surrounded by hayfields, wheat, and the Bear River bottoms, with the Wellsville Mountains rising to the east. Lots tend to be larger here than what you'd find along the Wasatch Front, and the housing stock leans rural: ranch-style homes on half-acre to multi-acre parcels, plenty of outbuildings, and the kind of quiet that comes with being five miles from the Idaho border. Winters are cold with real snow, summers run hot and dry, and most properties are on well and septic rather than municipal systems.
Single-story homes make practical sense in Plymouth for a few reasons. The aging-in-place crowd appreciates having no stairs to navigate during icy Cache Valley winters, and the wide, flat parcels common to this area lend themselves naturally to ranchers and ramblers with attached shops or detached garages. Buyers coming from denser Utah markets often want the single-level footprint paired with acreage for horses, equipment, or a small hobby farm — which is exactly what Plymouth tends to deliver. Inventory here is thin, so listings move when they're priced right. Browse the active single-story homes below, and reach out if you'd like to walk through anything or talk through what's coming up off-market.

Common questions
About single story homes in Plymouth.
Why are so many homes in Plymouth single story? ▾
Plymouth grew up as a farming community, and older farmhouses and ranch-style builds were the norm rather than two-story construction. Land here has historically been cheap and plentiful compared to cities along the Wasatch Front, so builders spread homes out horizontally instead of stacking floors.
Are single story homes in Plymouth more expensive than two-story homes? ▾
Not necessarily — pricing in Plymouth is driven more by lot size, acreage, and outbuildings like shops or barns than by whether a home has one level or two. A single story home on five acres with a shop can easily cost more than a larger two-story home on a standard town lot.
What kind of lot sizes come with single story homes here? ▾
Expect anywhere from a half-acre in-town lot up to several acres on the outskirts of Plymouth toward the county road. Many single-level properties come with room for horses, a garden, or a detached shop, which is a big part of the appeal for buyers leaving denser cities.
How far is Plymouth from Logan or Tremonton for work? ▾
Tremonton is roughly a 15-minute drive south, and Logan is closer to 30-40 minutes depending on traffic through Sardine Canyon. Plymouth itself has very limited commercial or employment options, so most residents commute for work and shopping.
Do single story homes in Plymouth need well and septic systems? ▾
Many properties outside the immediate town core run on private well and septic rather than municipal service, so it's worth confirming water rights and septic inspection status before making an offer. This is common throughout rural Box Elder County and something your agent should verify early in the process.
Is new construction available for single story homes in Plymouth? ▾
New construction is limited and comes up infrequently since Plymouth isn't a high-growth building market like nearby Tremonton or Garland. Most single story inventory consists of existing homes, so buyers wanting new should expect to build custom on a purchased lot rather than buy spec.
