New Construction Homes for Sale in Virgin, Utah
Virgin sits along SR-9 between La Verkin and Springdale, about 20 minutes from Zion National Park's south entrance and 40 minutes from St. George. It's a small ranching town — under 700 people — where new construction tends to mean custom homes on 1 to 5 acre parcels with red-rock and Smithsonian Butte views, not tract subdivisions. Buyers come here for the elbow room, the dark skies, and the lighter short-term rental rules compared to Springdale and Rockville next door. The terrain runs from river-bottom parcels near the Virgin River to elevated benches with line-of-sight to the Zion cliffs, and lot orientation matters a lot for both views and afternoon shade in summer, when highs sit in the upper 90s to low 100s.
Most new builds in Virgin are single-level southwestern or modern-farmhouse designs, often with casitas, oversized garages for toys and side-by-sides, and outdoor living built around the views. Expect to see builders working with stucco, stone, and metal roofs suited to the high desert climate. Water rights, septic versus town sewer, and STR zoning are the three details that change the math on any given parcel, so it's worth reading listing remarks carefully and asking pointed questions during showings. Browse the active new construction listings below to see what's currently on the market in Virgin, and reach out if you'd like help comparing parcels or vetting a builder's track record.

Common questions
About new construction homes in Virgin.
How much new construction is actually happening in Virgin? ▾
Virgin is a small town of roughly 600 residents, so new builds trickle in rather than arrive in big subdivisions like you'd see in Washington or Hurricane. Most activity is custom homes on acreage parcels off SR-9, plus a handful of small developments near the Virgin River. Inventory turns over slowly — sometimes only a few new builds are active at once.
What's the price range for new construction in Virgin? ▾
New builds in Virgin generally start in the upper $600s for smaller homes on standard lots and climb past $1.5M for custom homes on multi-acre parcels with red-rock views. Land cost is the swing factor — view lots facing the Zion cliffs carry a heavy premium over interior parcels.
Can I build a short-term rental in Virgin? ▾
Virgin allows nightly rentals in certain zones, which is a major reason buyers look here over stricter neighbors like Rockville and Springdale. Rules vary by parcel, so confirm zoning and any HOA covenants before writing an offer. Properties already permitted for STR use trade at a noticeable premium.
How close is Virgin to Zion National Park? ▾
The east end of Virgin sits about 15 minutes from Zion's main entrance in Springdale along SR-9. That proximity — without Springdale's pricing or congestion — is what drives most of the new construction demand here.
Are utilities and water shares included with new builds? ▾
It depends on the parcel. Homes inside town limits typically connect to municipal water and septic, while rural acreage lots may require a well, water shares from the Virgin River, or a shared system. Always verify water rights and connection fees with the builder before closing.
How long is a typical custom build timeline in Virgin? ▾
Plan on 10 to 16 months from permit to certificate of occupancy for a custom home, longer if you're on a lot that needs a well or extensive site work. Washington County permitting moves at a steady pace, but trades in the St. George metro stay busy, so scheduling drives the timeline more than approvals.
