Single Story Homes for Sale in Georgetown, Utah
Georgetown is a quiet ranching community in Rich County, tucked along the Bear River about 15 minutes south of Bear Lake's west shore. Single story homes dominate the housing stock here for practical reasons — at nearly 6,000 feet of elevation with winters that routinely drop below zero and snow that sticks around from November through March, ranch-style layouts are easier to heat, easier to shovel around, and far easier to live in long-term. The town itself is small (population hovers under 200), so most listings sit on generous lots, often with room for horses, outbuildings, or a detached shop. Buyers shopping single-level homes in Georgetown tend to fall into two camps: retirees who want main-floor living near Bear Lake recreation, and working families tied to ranching, remote jobs, or the Montpelier/Logan commute.
What you get in Georgetown that you can't get along the Wasatch Front is space, quiet, and direct access to Bear Lake, the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, and some of the best snowmobiling country in the Intermountain West. Logan is about an hour over Logan Canyon (closed occasionally in winter storms), and Salt Lake City sits roughly two and a half hours south. Inventory here is thin compared to bigger Utah markets, so single story options come and go quickly when they're priced right.

Common questions
About single story homes in Georgetown.
Why are single story homes popular in Georgetown? ▾
Georgetown sits in Rich County at over 5,900 feet, where winters are long and snow loads are heavy. Single story layouts mean no stairs to navigate in icy weather, easier roof maintenance, and simpler heating — practical reasons that matter when you're 20 minutes from Bear Lake and a long way from the nearest hospital.
How many single-level listings are typically active in Georgetown? ▾
Georgetown is a small unincorporated community with a population under 200, so active inventory is thin — often just a handful of homes on the market at any time, with single story ranchers and cabins making up the majority. New listings can sit for weeks, which gives buyers room to negotiate.
Are most single story homes here primary residences or vacation properties? ▾
It's a mix. Some are full-time residences for ranching families and remote workers, while others are second homes used during the Bear Lake summer season and snowmobiling winters. The single-level layout appeals to both groups — retirees living year-round and weekenders who don't want to deal with stairs after a long day on the water or sled.
What price range should I expect for a single story home in Georgetown? ▾
Pricing varies widely depending on lot size, outbuildings, and proximity to Bear Lake. Smaller single-level homes on standard lots can start in the mid $300s, while properties with acreage, shops, or lake views push well into the $600s and above. Land value often drives the number more than square footage.
Do these homes usually have basements or are they truly single-level? ▾
Many single story homes in Georgetown are built on crawl spaces or slabs because of the rocky soil and high water table near the Bear River bottoms. Some do have full or daylight basements, which adds storage and bonus space without changing the main-floor living experience. Check the listing details — it makes a real difference in usable square footage.
What should I know about water, septic, and utilities on rural single story homes here? ▾
Most properties outside the small Georgetown town core rely on well water and septic systems rather than municipal services. Buyers should budget for a septic inspection and water test during due diligence, and confirm well production rates. Natural gas is limited in this area, so propane and electric heat are common.
