Ivins utah real estate is among the most prestigious real estate
that the Greater St. George Utah area has to offer. Located about
5 miles out of St. George, there is really no unbuilt empty space
in between. The drive can be taken through Dixie Downs and Santa
Clara by way of Sunset Boulevard or it can be taken more up against
some rock cliffs that hedge there way dividing a higher elevation
route that if taken goes up into higher elevations of the northwest
Washington County area of Winchester Hills, Dammeron and Diamond
Valley, out to Veyo, Central and Pine Valley. Well, route out to
Ivins is called Snow Canyon Parkway.
The
cliffs on the right or north, as you travel out, are being built
up against with subdivisions called Castle Rock, The Cliffs, Entrada,
Kachina Springs and Kachina Cliffs to name some notable ones.
As you travel along Snow Canyon Parkway on your
way out to Ivins, you travel on a two lane road bordered by indigenous
rock walls and landscaped road way divider conducive to the environment
and the exclusive developments that are part of coming into Ivins.
What it feels like as you approach a horse-shoe
like ending into the Big Red Mountain and canyon intakes of Snow
Canyon- it feels like you are traveling into a national Park area.
While it is not the big towering rock cliffs of Zion Park, it
is a State Park area into Snow Canyon State Park. So, a good job
has been done towards keeping the area friendly to the black
lava rock and red rock environment. Much of Entrada, and the newer
areas featuring 2 million dollar homes on a golf course, no less,
have been built out in and amongst the indigenous black lava rock.
Some of the older parts of Ivins are typically on bigger lots,
about 1 acre in size. Some of these are being divided, even if
only to take advantage of a flag lot in behind. But the less exclusive
areas tend to be more inward to the center of town or older parts
of Santa Clara. Some of these areas that are removed from the
cliffs have good views of the U or L shaped red cliff/mountain
area, in which case older estate like homes have been built and
augmented by newer and nicer construction.
Not much room exists out in Ivins before that area will be
filled in with new construction or developments. So, values have
increased and will keep increasing. Yet there are still
opportunities for those looking because it is still far enough
out there that only locals end up driving by new opportunities.
In other words, it is still a very good place to invest and settle
in for those due a nicer view type existence. You can still locate
there for far less money and have spectacular views for far less
than living in some of these places in California or Las Vegas.
I do not know how much longer that will be the case. The St George
area was named the second fastest growing city in the nation recently
by the census bureau.
