Homes Under $300,000 in Virgin, Utah
Virgin sits along State Route 9 between La Verkin and Springdale, about twenty minutes from the south entrance of Zion National Park. It's a small town — a few hundred residents, wide desert lots, red rock bluffs on the skyline — and land here has never been cheap given the Zion tourism pull. Homes under $300,000 in Virgin are the exception rather than the rule these days: think older single-wide or manufactured homes on their own land, small fixer cabins, or the occasional vacant lot with a modest structure that needs work. Anything move-in ready with real square footage tends to price well above that mark once you're this close to the park.
Buyers chasing this price point in Virgin are usually trading finish quality for location and land — a half-acre or more, a septic and well already in place, maybe outbuildings for tools or an ATV. Some are looking at these as fixer-uppers or future short-term rental projects once renovated, since Zion visitor traffic keeps nightly rates strong even for basic properties. Others just want a cheap foothold in Washington County away from the higher prices of Hurricane and St. George. Inventory under $300K here turns over fast when it appears, and there often isn't much of it at all. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Virgin.
How much inventory under $300K is typically available in Virgin? ▾
Not much. Virgin is a small town of roughly 600 residents tucked along SR-9 between La Verkin and Springdale, and the active MLS count under $300K usually sits in the single digits. Most of what does come up at this price is vacant land, manufactured homes on acreage, or older site-built homes needing work.
What kinds of properties show up in this price range? ▾
Expect a mix of manufactured and modular homes on larger lots, fixer-uppers, and occasionally a small site-built home on a partial acre. Many parcels in Virgin sit on well and septic rather than municipal utilities, which keeps lot sizes generous but adds maintenance considerations.
Can I get a USDA loan in Virgin? ▾
Yes. Virgin falls within USDA Rural Development eligible areas, so qualified buyers can finance with zero down on eligible properties. This is one of the more useful loan programs for sub-$300K purchases here, alongside FHA for manufactured homes that meet HUD foundation requirements.
How far is Virgin from Zion and St. George? ▾
Virgin is about 15 minutes from the Zion National Park entrance at Springdale and roughly 35-40 minutes from St. George. That location is the main reason values have climbed — short-term rental demand from Zion visitors pushes pricing higher than the town's size would suggest.
Are short-term rentals allowed on homes at this price point? ▾
Virgin has specific zoning for nightly rentals, and not every property qualifies. If income potential matters to your purchase, verify the parcel's zoning with the Town of Virgin before writing an offer — some areas permit STRs, others are residential-only, and that distinction directly affects resale value.
Is well and septic common on properties under $300K here? ▾
Very common. Much of Virgin outside the town core relies on private wells and septic systems. Budget for a well inspection, water quality test, and septic pump/inspection during your due diligence — these are standard asks on rural Washington County properties.
