Single Story Homes for Sale in Scipio, Utah
Scipio sits at the south end of Juab County right where I-15 meets US-50, about 90 minutes south of Provo and a common fuel-and-coffee stop for anyone driving between the Wasatch Front and St. George. It's a small ranching town — population under 350 — surrounded by hayfields, the Canyon Mountains to the east, and the Sevier Desert opening up to the west. Single story homes dominate the housing stock here for practical reasons: lots are large, land is relatively affordable, and ranch-style construction holds up well against the wind that funnels through Scipio Pass. Most properties sit on a quarter-acre or larger, many with outbuildings, detached shops, or room for a horse or two.
Buyers drawn to one-level living in Scipio tend to fall into two camps: retirees who want no stairs and low maintenance, and working families who want a shop, a garden, and space to keep equipment. Winters bring real snow and temperatures into the teens, so a single-level footprint also means a smaller roof to shovel around and one heating zone to manage. Expect well water and septic on most rural parcels, propane heat on many, and natural gas service in the town core. Prices generally run well below Utah County comps for similar square footage, though inventory is thin — Scipio often has only a handful of active listings at any time.

Common questions
About single story homes in Scipio.
How many single story homes are usually for sale in Scipio at one time? ▾
Scipio is a small market, so active inventory is typically very limited — often just two to six homes total across all styles. Single story ranchers make up the majority of what does come up, but new listings can sit for a week or appear and go under contract quickly depending on price.
Are most Scipio single story homes on well and septic? ▾
Yes, properties outside the town center generally run on a private well and septic system. Homes inside Scipio town limits may connect to municipal water. Always confirm the water share situation during due diligence — irrigation water rights are tracked separately from culinary water here.
What price range should I expect for a single level home in Scipio? ▾
Pricing varies widely based on land and outbuildings, but modest ranchers on smaller lots have historically traded in the low-to-mid $300s, while larger parcels with shops, acreage, or recent updates push into the $500s and above. Check the live listings below for current numbers.
Do single story homes in Scipio typically come with land for horses or livestock? ▾
Many do. Lot sizes of a half-acre to several acres are common, and zoning in much of the area permits horses, chickens, and other small livestock. If keeping animals matters, verify the specific parcel's zoning with Juab County before writing an offer.
Is Scipio a reasonable commute to anywhere with jobs? ▾
Scipio is rural — most residents either work locally in ranching, at the I-15 service businesses, or commute to Nephi (about 25 minutes north) or Delta (about 40 minutes southwest). It's roughly 90 minutes to Provo, which is doable but long for a daily drive. The town suits remote workers, retirees, and trades-based commuters best.
What should I watch for during inspection on an older Scipio rancher? ▾
Common items include the age and output of the well pump, septic tank location and last pump-out date, propane tank ownership versus lease, roof condition after years of wind exposure, and any irrigation ditch easements crossing the lot. A local inspector familiar with rural Juab County properties is worth the extra drive.
