New Construction Homes for Sale in Manti, Utah
Manti sits in the heart of Sanpete County, about 90 minutes south of Provo along US-89, and it's quietly become one of the more interesting new-construction markets in central Utah. The town is best known for the Manti Temple on the hill above Main Street, but the growth story over the past few years has been driven by buyers priced out of the Wasatch Front looking for newer homes on bigger lots at a fraction of Utah County pricing. New builds here tend to be single-family homes on quarter-acre to full-acre lots, with three-car garages, unfinished basements ready to grow into, and architecture that leans traditional rather than the contemporary boxes you see in Lehi or Saratoga Springs. Snow College in neighboring Ephraim keeps the local rental market steady, and Manti itself offers a quieter, agriculture-adjacent pace.
Climate matters when you're buying new in this part of the state. Manti sits at roughly 5,575 feet, so winters bring real snow and summers stay cooler than St. George or even Salt Lake — most new homes are built with that in mind, including better insulation packages and natural gas furnaces as standard. Lot sizes also allow for shops, RV parking, and small hobby farms, which is a big reason buyers from Utah and Salt Lake counties keep showing up.

Common questions
About new construction homes in Manti.
Where is most of the new construction happening in Manti? ▾
New builds are clustered on the north and south edges of town, with smaller infill projects near the temple hill and along the corridor toward Ephraim. Subdivisions tend to be small — 10 to 40 lots — rather than the master-planned scale you see along the Wasatch Front. A few custom builders are also putting homes on larger acreage parcels east of Main Street toward the mountains.
What do new homes in Manti typically cost? ▾
Most new construction in Manti runs in the $360,000 to $525,000 range for standard single-family builds on city lots, with custom homes on acreage pushing $600,000 and above. Pricing sits noticeably below Utah County and the Wasatch Back, which is a big part of what's driving Sanpete County's growth. Lot premiums, finished basements, and detached shops are the most common upgrades that move the number.
Which builders are active in Manti right now? ▾
You'll see a mix of regional Sanpete and Utah Valley builders — Visionary Homes, Hamlet Homes, and several local outfits like Cox Construction and smaller family builders who've worked the area for decades. Inventory shifts quickly, so the active listings below reflect what's actually under construction or recently completed.
Are these homes on city utilities or wells and septic? ▾
Builds inside Manti city limits connect to municipal water, sewer, and natural gas. Homes on the outskirts and on acreage parcels often run on a well and septic system, which changes both the upfront cost and the long-term maintenance picture. Check the listing remarks — it's one of the first things to verify before writing an offer.
How long is the drive from Manti to Provo or Salt Lake City? ▾
Manti is about 90 minutes south of Provo and roughly 2 hours 15 minutes from Salt Lake City via US-89 and I-15. That distance is exactly why prices here are lower — but it also means remote workers and retirees make up a meaningful share of new-build buyers. Snow College in Ephraim, 7 miles north, is another steady draw.
Can I still pick finishes if I buy a new build here? ▾
It depends on the construction stage. Homes still in framing usually allow selections on flooring, cabinets, countertops, and paint. Completed spec homes are sold as-built, though some builders will negotiate small change orders before closing. Your agent can ask the builder what's still on the table for any specific listing.
