Homes Under $300,000 in Virgin, Utah
Virgin is a small town of roughly 600 people sitting on SR-9 between La Verkin and Springdale, about 15 minutes from the south entrance of Zion National Park and 35 minutes from St. George. The Virgin River runs through town, the red cliffs of the Kolob Terrace rise to the north, and most lots are larger and more rural than what you'd find closer to St. George. Because of the Zion-adjacent location, prices have climbed steadily over the past decade, and inventory under $300K is genuinely scarce. When sub-$300K listings do appear, they're usually manufactured homes on acreage, older site-built homes needing work, or vacant residential lots ready for a build.
Buyers shopping this price range in Virgin tend to fall into two camps: people who want land and don't mind bringing their own house (a manufactured or modular home placement), and value hunters willing to take on a project in exchange for proximity to Zion. Keep in mind that most properties here run on septic rather than city sewer, water rights matter, and short-term rental zoning is restricted to specific overlay areas — not the whole town. If you're flexible on home type and willing to look at land plus a manufactured placement, Virgin is one of the few Zion-corridor markets where the math still works.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Virgin.
How much inventory under $300K is typically available in Virgin? ▾
Not much. Virgin is a small town of roughly 600 residents tucked along SR-9 between La Verkin and Springdale, and the active MLS count under $300K usually sits in the single digits. Most of what does come up at this price is vacant land, manufactured homes on acreage, or older site-built homes needing work.
What kinds of properties show up in this price range? ▾
Expect a mix of manufactured and modular homes on larger lots, fixer-uppers, and occasionally a small site-built home on a partial acre. Many parcels in Virgin sit on well and septic rather than municipal utilities, which keeps lot sizes generous but adds maintenance considerations.
Can I get a USDA loan in Virgin? ▾
Yes. Virgin falls within USDA Rural Development eligible areas, so qualified buyers can finance with zero down on eligible properties. This is one of the more useful loan programs for sub-$300K purchases here, alongside FHA for manufactured homes that meet HUD foundation requirements.
How far is Virgin from Zion and St. George? ▾
Virgin is about 15 minutes from the Zion National Park entrance at Springdale and roughly 35-40 minutes from St. George. That location is the main reason values have climbed — short-term rental demand from Zion visitors pushes pricing higher than the town's size would suggest.
Are short-term rentals allowed on homes at this price point? ▾
Virgin has specific zoning for nightly rentals, and not every property qualifies. If income potential matters to your purchase, verify the parcel's zoning with the Town of Virgin before writing an offer — some areas permit STRs, others are residential-only, and that distinction directly affects resale value.
Is well and septic common on properties under $300K here? ▾
Very common. Much of Virgin outside the town core relies on private wells and septic systems. Budget for a well inspection, water quality test, and septic pump/inspection during your due diligence — these are standard asks on rural Washington County properties.
