Single Story Homes for Sale in Orderville, Utah
Orderville is a small Long Valley community tucked between Mt. Carmel Junction and Glendale on Highway 89, with the Sevier Plateau rising to the east and Zion's backcountry just over the ridge to the west. The town sits at about 5,460 feet, which means four real seasons — warm summers in the 80s and 90s, cold but manageable winters with occasional snow, and shoulder seasons that draw a steady flow of Zion and Bryce visitors through town. Single-level homes are the dominant build style here, partly because flat valley parcels make ramblers practical and partly because the buyer pool skews toward retirees, ranchers, and second-home owners who don't want stairs.
Most one-level houses in Orderville sit on larger lots than what you'd find in Washington County — half-acre to multi-acre parcels with room for a shop, horses, or a garden are typical, and many include irrigation shares tied to the Long Valley ditch system. Floor plans range from 1970s-era ranchers on full crawl spaces to newer custom builds with open kitchens, attached three-car garages, and covered patios facing the red cliffs. Inventory turns over slowly because owners tend to hold, so when a good single-story comes up it usually moves within a few weeks.

Common questions
About single story homes in Orderville.
Why are single-story homes so common in Orderville? ▾
Orderville is a small Long Valley town of roughly 600 people with a heavy ranching and retiree mix, and most lots are flat valley parcels along Highway 89. Builders here have historically gone with ranch-style and rambler floor plans because the land allows for it and buyers — many of them older or planning to age in place — prefer everything on one level.
What price range should I expect for a single-level home in Orderville? ▾
Most single-story homes in Orderville trade in the mid $300Ks to low $600Ks depending on acreage, outbuildings, and condition. Properties with a few acres, water rights, or barns push higher, while older manufactured homes on permanent foundations come in lower. Inventory is thin — often only a handful of active listings at any given time.
How far is Orderville from larger towns and services? ▾
Orderville sits about 25 minutes north of Kanab and roughly 35 minutes south of the Highway 89/SR-9 junction that leads to Zion. St. George is about 90 minutes southwest, and Cedar City is around an hour west over Cedar Mountain. Grocery runs usually mean driving to Kanab or Glendale's small market next door.
Are basements common, or is it truly single-level living? ▾
Many ramblers in Orderville have either no basement or a partial basement used for storage and utilities. The high water table near Virgin River tributaries and the cost of excavation in rocky soil means full finished basements are less common here than along the Wasatch Front. Slab-on-grade and crawl-space builds dominate.
What should I check before buying a rural single-story home here? ▾
Verify the water source (culinary connection to Orderville town water vs. private well), septic condition and age, and whether the parcel carries irrigation shares from the Long Valley ditch system. Also check zoning — Kane County allows agricultural uses on most Orderville parcels, which matters if you want livestock or a shop.
Is Orderville a good fit for retirees wanting one-level living? ▾
It's a quiet, conservative community with low traffic, dark skies, and easy access to Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon's North Rim. The trade-off is limited medical care locally — Kanab has a clinic and small hospital, but specialists usually mean a trip to St. George or Cedar City. Many retirees here accept that drive for the lifestyle.
