Pine Valley
Neighborhood in Leeds, Utah
Washington County 84781
Secluded community with cabin-style properties and large lots
Pine Valley has a variety of real estate options even though the community has a limited amount of housing available. This is due to the area being surrounded by publicly owned lands, preventing heavy development. The town has a mix of cabins, particularly A-frames, luxury homes and modified farmhouses. Summer homes were built in the 1940s, and each year, the population still swells in the summer months as part-time residents return. “Pine Valley is a semi-rural mountain community. There are a lot of large parcels, small farms and horse properties, and there’s a newer area with some luxury homes. There’s a mix of cabin-style properties and no commercial developments in the area,” says Mark Peterson, an associate broker and Realtor with Red Rock Real Estate’s Quantum Realty Group with 40 years of experience. Homes sell for an average price of $566,000 after 106 days on the market. Cabins and modified farmhouses range from $320,000 to $875,000, while luxury homes start around $800,000 and continue to $1.5 million.

Outdoor recreation in the Dixie National Forest
The town is surrounded by rugged, rustic landscapes with miles of hiking and horse trails just outside the community. The Pine Valley Recreation Area and Reservoir lies two-and-a-half miles from the center of Pine Valley. It has tent and RV camping sites and is popular with snowshoers and cross-country skiers in the winter. There are also volleyball courts, horseshoe pits and an amphitheater around the fishing reservoir. Pine Valley Mountain Wilderness is almost four miles from the town center and is part of Dixie National Forest. Encompassing over 50,000 acres, the wilderness area runs through the Pine Mountains and is home to unique species like the zebra-tailed lizard and Uinta chipmunk. It’s known for incredible views of the mountains and desert, camping and wildlife watching, in addition to 150 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails.

Nationally recognized historic chapel
The town’s most recognizable landmark is the historic Pine Valley Chapel, the oldest Latter-Day Saints chapel in continuous use. It was built without nails by a Scottish shipbuilder in 1868. He wasn’t familiar with architecture, so he designed the chapel as a ‘ship turned upside down’ and used rawhide and wooden pegs to hold the church together. The building was immediately used as a schoolhouse, community center and worship space. The chapel was remodeled in the 1960s and 2004 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

State highways and country walks
State Highway 18 is the community’s most significant roadway. It passes through Snow Canyon State Park and takes people the 35 miles to downtown St. George and Interstate 15. There’s no public transportation in the valley, although it’s easy for residents to walk or bike through the compact community. The Zion Medical Center is 28 miles away in St. George, and the St. George Regional Airport is 38 miles from Pine Valley.Steaks, shops and chops
Pine Valley doesn’t have any retail or grocery stores, but some essentials can be found at its beloved local restaurant, The Brandin’ Iron Steakhouse. The eatery has a general store for basic ingredients, like milk and eggs, alongside treats like candy bars and popsicles. The restaurant is known for premium steaks and an old-fashioned ice cream bar with root beer floats. The closest options for groceries and shopping are around 30 miles away at the edge of St. George. Digby’s Market, Smith’s and Harmons Grocery are just three choices for fresh produce, pantry items and household goods. The Shoppes at Zion, The Shops at Green Gate Village and Red Rock Commons offer dozens of retailers, restaurants and entertainment opportunities. The Shops at Green Gate Village are located in the historic downtown district, while Red Rock Commons and the Shoppes at Zion are just off Interstate 15 on the eastern edge of St. George.

Avoiding wildfire risks
Pine Valley faces the risk of wildfires. In the past five years, several wildfires of varying sizes have broken out in the community. To combat these fast-moving blazes, the USDA Forest Service has created the Pine Valley Priority Landscape Project to install and maintain critical infrastructure in the area. The project aims to improve watershed health and protect recreation spots. The Pine Valley Fire House is also centrally located in town to reduce response times.
