New Listings in Torrey, Utah
Torrey is a small town of roughly 250 residents sitting at 6,800 feet just outside the western entrance to Capitol Reef National Park. New listings here move differently than along the Wasatch Front — inventory is thin, often fewer than a dozen active properties at any given time, and what hits the market ranges from in-town cottages on quarter-acre lots to working acreage along Highway 24, casita-style guest cabins built for short-term rental income, and view parcels climbing toward Boulder Mountain. Because the town sits between red rock to the east and 11,000-foot alpine country to the west, the same week can deliver a desert ranch listing and a forested cabin tract, so checking new arrivals frequently matters more than it does in larger markets.
Most buyers looking at fresh Torrey inventory fall into three camps: second-home owners who want a quiet base near the park, operators building or buying nightly-rental cabins (Wayne County allows short-term rentals in much of the area, though always verify with the county), and full-time residents drawn by the dark-sky designation, the Fremont River corridor, and the 3.5-hour drive to either Salt Lake or Las Vegas. Water rights, septic systems, and well share agreements come up constantly out here, so a new listing's disclosure packet often matters as much as the photos. The listings below refresh as agents post them to the WFRMLS — browse what's currently active and reach out when something looks worth a closer look.

Common questions
About new listings in Torrey.
How often do new listings come on the market in Torrey? ▾
Torrey is a low-volume market — it's common to see only 2-6 new listings in a given month, and some weeks bring nothing at all. Spring and early summer are the most active periods as sellers prep for the Capitol Reef tourist season. Setting up an instant MLS alert is the most reliable way to catch new inventory before it's toured.
What price range should I expect on new Torrey listings? ▾
Recent activity has ranged from around $400K for older in-town homes on small lots to $1.5M+ for acreage properties with water rights, guest cabins, or established short-term rental income. Bare land parcels typically run $80K-$350K depending on size, views, and utility access. Pricing varies widely because no two Torrey parcels are alike.
Are short-term rentals allowed on new listings in Torrey? ▾
Much of the Torrey area permits nightly rentals, which is why you'll see cabin-style listings marketed with rental projections. However, rules differ between town limits, Wayne County unincorporated land, and specific subdivisions like Sleeping Rainbow or Red Sands. Always confirm zoning and any HOA restrictions before assuming a property can be rented nightly.
Do Torrey homes typically have well water or culinary water? ▾
It's a mix. Properties inside the town boundary usually connect to Torrey Town culinary water, while acreage outside town often relies on private wells, shared wells, or irrigation shares from the Fremont River system. Water rights and well agreements should be reviewed carefully — they meaningfully affect property value out here.
How long is the drive from Salt Lake City to Torrey? ▾
Roughly 3.5 hours via I-15 south to Scipio, then Highway 50 and Highway 24 east through Loa and Bicknell. Las Vegas is about 5 hours, St. George 3.5 hours, and Moab 2.5 hours over the scenic Highway 12 / Boulder Mountain route in summer. The Boulder Mountain pass can close in winter, so plan accordingly.
Why are some new Torrey listings only available seasonally? ▾
Several cabin and high-elevation properties south of town toward Boulder Mountain sit at 8,000+ feet with limited winter road access. Sellers sometimes pull listings between November and April or restrict showings to weekends. If a listing mentions seasonal access, ask the agent about plowed road status and whether utilities are winterized.
