Lakeside at Desert Sands Homes for Sale | Hurricane, Utah
Lakeside at Desert Sands is one of the easier neighborhoods to recommend if Sand Hollow is the reason you are looking at Hurricane in the first place. The community sits about a quarter mile from the entrance to Sand Hollow Reservoir, the Sand Hollow Golf Course, and the sand dunes, which means the boating, fishing, golfing, and side-by-side trail systems that draw most buyers to this part of Southern Utah are essentially in your backyard. These are new Ivory Homes builds from 2022 through 2025, with prices running in a tight band from the $540,000s to the $590,000s, and a notably low $25 monthly HOA.
Because Ivory Homes is a major Utah production builder, the homes here are consistent in floor plan, finish, and construction. Single-level layouts dominate, with three and four-bedroom options ranging from about 1,890 to 2,200 square feet, on lots that run a fifth of an acre to a fifth-and-a-half. Attached two and three-car garages, gourmet kitchens, separate dens, and low-maintenance landscaping are standard across the community.
The Sand Hollow Location Is the Whole Pitch
What sets Lakeside at Desert Sands apart from most other Hurricane new construction is not the floor plans or the finishes, both of which are competitive but not unique. It is the location. From this community you are minutes by boat trailer to launching at Sand Hollow Reservoir, minutes by golf cart to teeing off at Sand Hollow Golf Course, and minutes by side-by-side or ATV to the dunes and the broader Sand Hollow trail system. The new water park and recreation area in Hurricane is about half a mile away. For buyers whose Southern Utah life is built around the lake and the dunes, the math is straightforward.
Several lots in the community back to permanent open space or the subdivision entrance road, which means an unobstructed long view toward Pine Valley Mountain with no possibility of future construction blocking it. Those view lots tend to command a premium when they come up, and they are worth identifying carefully if a long view is part of your buying criteria.
What You Get With an Ivory Home
If you are not familiar with Ivory Homes, they are one of Utah's largest and longest-running production builders, and the work they do in this community reflects that. Floor plans here have included separate dens, gourmet kitchens with four-burner cooktops and central grills, gas-burning fireplaces with TV connections built in above, wood-grain laminate flooring throughout the main areas, and tandem third-car garage options for the buyer who needs storage for a side-by-side or a workshop area.
Most listings here have referenced a preferred-lender incentive program through Ivory's preferred lender. That kind of program can be meaningful if you actually use it, but it also has its trade-offs against shopping rates independently. Worth understanding the full picture before you commit.

Location and the Hurricane Lifestyle
Lakeside at Desert Sands is in the Sand Hollow area on the south side of Hurricane, accessed via Sand Hollow Road off the Southern Parkway. That puts you minutes from the reservoir and golf course, fifteen to twenty minutes from State Street and the city core of Hurricane, about twenty-five minutes from St. George, and roughly forty minutes from Zion National Park. This is firmly Sand Hollow resort territory rather than in-town Hurricane, so set your expectations on that. The trade-off is direct access to the recreation that defines this part of Southern Utah. The Hurricane off-road lifestyle page covers the broader picture, and the St. George golf course homes page is worth a look if golf is part of your draw.
Buyers comparing Lakeside at Desert Sands often also look at Dixie Springs next door for similar Sand Hollow Road proximity, at Sand Hollow Village for another Sand Hollow option, and at Dunes at Sand Hollow Resort for a higher-end resort-community alternative. Comparing those side by side is the cleanest way to figure out which fits your goals.
