Get to know Pine Valley

About Pine Valley

Pine Valley is an unincorporated Washington County community at roughly 6,800 feet, surrounded by ponderosa pines, alpine meadows, and granite cliffs in the Dixie National Forest. Housing is predominantly cabins and custom mountain homes; many are second homes. Despite the secluded setting, Pine Valley is only about 35 miles from St. George, putting shopping, healthcare, and employment within reach. The area is home to the historic Pine Valley Chapel, one of Utah's most significant pioneer landmarks.

Why people move to Pine Valley

Buyers choose Pine Valley for cool mountain summers, four distinct seasons, towering pine forests, year-round outdoor recreation (hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing, hunting, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing), and the historic charm of one of Utah's oldest mountain settlements. The community attracts retirees, second-home owners, remote professionals, and families seeking a true mountain lifestyle within driving distance of St. George.

Pine Valley homeownership snapshot

Inventory is limited and seasonal demand is strong. Typical 2026 detached prices range from the mid-$500Ks to over $1M for custom mountain residences. Many properties are seasonal or second homes — verify year-round access, water, septic, and snow load per parcel. Conventional, jumbo, USDA, cabin, and construction financing all see use; VA loans require primary-residence occupancy.
