Central Homes on 1+ Acres

An acre is where Central living actually starts making sense. It is the difference between a house in town and a property: room for the shop, the animals, the garden, and the RV, without a neighbor's window ten feet from yours. This page collects the current listings on an acre or more.

Central sits on SR-18 at about 5,200 feet, 27 miles and roughly 36 minutes north of St. George, right where the road to Pine Valley turns off. It is best known as the starting line of the St. George Marathon, and it borders Dixie National Forest, which tells you most of what you need to know: this is cooler, higher, quieter country with real acreage, and it is the halfway point between the desert and the mountain.

Acreage country under county code

Central is unincorporated Washington County, governed by county land use code rather than a city hall. Zoning up here leans rural: residential agricultural lots from one acre up, and agricultural parcels at five acres and beyond, with plenty of ground that has never been subdivided at all. The county allows one accessory dwelling on lots under five acres with owner occupancy strings attached, and short term rentals require a county license with an owner occupancy requirement and per subdivision caps. If your plan involves animals, a shop, or a second dwelling, the county framework here will usually let you do it, and I will verify the specific zone on any parcel before you write an offer.

Every listing on this page comes straight from the MLS, so you are seeing what is really on the market in Central. Call or text me, Lance Clifford, at 435-200-5508, or reach me through my contact page. You can also browse all Central homes for sale.
