Homes with Acreage for Sale in Paragonah, Utah
Paragonah is a small Iron County town of around 500 people tucked between I-15 and the Red Hills, four miles north of Parowan and about 20 minutes from Cedar City. It has always been an agricultural community — the original 1850s settlers laid out wide lots specifically so families could keep livestock, run irrigation ditches, and farm hay and grain. That DNA is still visible today: residential parcels routinely come with one to ten acres, water shares through the Paragonah Irrigation Company, and outbuildings ranging from old red barns to modern insulated shops. For buyers who want elbow room, horse setups, or a hobby farm without driving an hour from a regional airport, this stretch of the valley delivers it at prices well below Washington County or the Wasatch Front.
Acreage homes here tend to fall into a few buckets: older farmhouses on irrigated pasture, 1990s-2000s ramblers on 1-5 acre lots along 100 North or the frontage roads, and newer custom builds going up closer to the foothills with views across Little Salt Lake toward Brian Head. Winters are real — Paragonah sits above 5,800 feet and gets meaningful snow — but summers are dry and mild, and the night skies are dark enough to see the Milky Way from a back porch. Brian Head skiing is 30 minutes up the canyon, and Cedar Breaks, Bryce, and Zion are all day-trip distance.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Paragonah.
How much land do acreage properties in Paragonah typically include? ▾
Most acreage listings around Paragonah run from roughly 1 to 5 acres on the valley floor, with larger 10-40 acre parcels available on the outskirts heading toward Little Salt Lake or the foothills. Old homesteads occasionally come up with water rights and outbuildings already in place. Lot sizes vary widely block to block, so it's worth reading the parcel details on each listing.
Does Paragonah allow horses and livestock on residential acreage? ▾
Yes — Paragonah's zoning is agriculture-friendly, and horses, chickens, goats, and cattle are common on properties of an acre or more. Many homes already have corrals, loafing sheds, or small barns. Check the specific parcel's zoning and any CC&Rs before assuming a particular animal count is allowed.
Do these properties usually come with water rights or irrigation shares? ▾
Some do, some don't. Paragonah Irrigation Company shares are the local currency for flood or pressurized irrigation, and they transfer separately from the deed. Always ask the listing agent whether shares are included, how many, and whether the home is on culinary water plus a well or just one source.
What's the commute like from Paragonah to Cedar City or I-15 jobs? ▾
Paragonah sits right off I-15 exit 95, about 18 miles north of Cedar City — roughly a 20-minute drive to SUU, Cedar City Regional Airport, or the hospital. Parowan is just 4 miles south for groceries, schools, and fuel. It's a realistic commute for people who want land without leaving the workforce in Iron County.
What price range should I expect for a home on acreage here? ▾
Smaller homes on 1-2 acres generally land in the $400,000s to low $600,000s, while newer builds or larger spreads with shops and water rights can run $700,000 to over $1 million. Price swings hard based on water, outbuildings, and condition of the home itself — a turnkey horse setup commands a real premium over raw pasture with an older house.
What's the climate like for hobby farming in Paragonah? ▾
Paragonah sits at about 5,840 feet, so the growing season is short — roughly mid-May through late September — with cold winters and snow on the ground for stretches of January and February. Summers are warm and dry, ideal for hay, garlic, and hardy orchards. Plan for windbreaks and frost-tolerant crops if you're serious about production.
