Homes with Acreage for Sale in Virgin, Utah
Virgin sits along the Virgin River corridor just west of Zion National Park, a stretch of Washington County where lot sizes open up fast once you leave the Hurricane and La Verkin subdivisions behind. Acreage here typically runs from one-acre horse-property parcels along Kolob Terrace Road to five, ten, and twenty-acre spreads pushing up toward the base of the Pine Valley Mountains. Zoning in Virgin Town and the surrounding unincorporated county has stayed friendlier to larger lots, agricultural use, and outbuildings than what you'll find in the tighter grid of St. George or Washington City, which is exactly why buyers wanting room for horses, shops, RVs, or simply distance between neighbors end up looking here first.
Water rights and irrigation shares matter more in Virgin than almost anywhere else in the county — many acreage parcels carry shares tied to the Virgin River or local irrigation companies, and that history affects both what you can grow and what the land is worth. Summers run hot and dry with highs regularly in the 100s, so well capacity, septic placement, and south-facing exposure are practical considerations, not afterthoughts, when evaluating a piece of land. Kolob Terrace Road also climbs into cooler, timbered country within a short drive, giving some acreage buyers a legitimate temperature break without leaving the area.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Virgin.
How much acreage is typical for listings in Virgin? ▾
Most acreage properties in Virgin range from 1 to 20 acres, with a healthy number of 5 and 10-acre parcels. Larger ranch-style holdings of 40+ acres come up occasionally, often along the Virgin River corridor or up on the benches toward Smithsonian Butte.
Do acreage properties in Virgin come with water rights? ▾
Some do, some don't — it's the single biggest variable in pricing. Properties along the river bottom may include shares in the Hurricane Canal or private irrigation rights, while bench parcels often rely solely on a culinary well. Always verify water rights and well production through the title company before writing an offer.
Can I run a short-term rental on an acreage property in Virgin? ▾
Virgin has historically been more STR-friendly than neighboring towns, and several acreage properties operate as Zion-area vacation rentals. That said, the town has tightened permitting in recent years, so confirm current STR rules with Virgin Town Hall before counting on rental income in your numbers.
Are horses and livestock allowed? ▾
Yes, most Virgin acreage parcels are zoned to allow horses, chickens, goats, and similar livestock without special permits. Many properties already have barns, loafing sheds, or arenas in place, and BLM trail access from town is a big draw for horse owners.
What should I know about building on raw acreage here? ▾
Expect to budget for a well (drilling costs vary by depth — some go 400+ feet), a septic system, and power extension if you're not near existing lines. Soil percolation, flood plain status near the river, and access road maintenance are all worth checking during due diligence.
How far is Virgin from St. George and the airport? ▾
Downtown Virgin is roughly 30-35 minutes from St. George and about 40 minutes from St. George Regional Airport. Las Vegas is just over two hours via I-15, which matters for buyers using the larger Harry Reid airport for travel or guest turnover on rentals.
