Single Story Homes for Sale in Beryl, Utah
Beryl sits in the Escalante Valley in western Iron County, roughly 40 miles northwest of Cedar City along Highway 56. It's high-desert ranch and farm country at about 5,200 feet elevation, with wide flat lots, alfalfa fields, and long views toward the Pine Valley and Wah Wah mountain ranges. Most of what trades hands here is rural acreage property — manufactured homes on five to forty acres, older ranch houses, and a smaller number of newer custom builds. Single story floor plans dominate the area for practical reasons: lots are big enough that buyers aren't forced to build up, foundations are typically slab or crawl, and the buyer pool skews toward retirees, off-grid enthusiasts, and working ranchers who don't want stairs.
If you're filtering for single level living in Beryl, you're looking at a market measured in dozens of listings rather than hundreds, so inventory turns over slowly and price points vary widely — anything from a modest manufactured home under $200K to a custom rambler on irrigated acreage well above $500K. Water rights, well depth, power access, and septic condition matter as much as the house itself out here. Cedar City is the nearest full-service town for groceries, hospital care, and the regional airport, and St. George is about 90 minutes south.

Common questions
About single story homes in Beryl.
Why are single story homes so common in Beryl? ▾
Lots in Beryl are typically measured in acres rather than square feet, so there's no pressure to build vertically. The buyer base also leans heavily toward retirees and ranchers who prefer slab-on-grade or crawlspace ramblers without stairs. Manufactured and modular homes — almost all single level — make up a meaningful share of the housing stock.
What's the price range for a single story home in Beryl? ▾
Expect a wide spread. Older manufactured homes on a few acres can list in the $150K–$250K range, while site-built ramblers on irrigated acreage with water rights often run $400K–$700K. Condition of the well, septic, and outbuildings tends to move price more than square footage does.
Do most single story properties in Beryl have well and septic? ▾
Yes. Beryl is unincorporated and there's no municipal water or sewer, so virtually every home runs on a private well and septic system. Well depth in the Escalante Valley commonly ranges from 200 to over 600 feet, and water rights are a separate negotiation from the real estate itself.
How far is Beryl from Cedar City and St. George? ▾
Cedar City is about 40 miles southeast, roughly a 45-minute drive on Highway 56, and that's where most residents go for groceries, the hospital, and the regional airport. St. George is about 90 miles south, around an hour and 40 minutes by car.
Are there HOA restrictions on single story homes in Beryl? ▾
Most of Beryl is rural Iron County land with no HOA, which is part of the appeal for buyers wanting livestock, shops, or off-grid setups. A few newer subdivisions have light CC&Rs, but the area is generally free of the architectural review boards common on the Wasatch Front.
Is the elevation a factor for building or buying single story here? ▾
Beryl sits around 5,200 feet, so winters bring real cold snaps and occasional snow, while summers are dry and mild compared to St. George. Single story homes with good insulation, propane heat, and freeze-protected well lines handle the climate without much drama.
