South Desert

Canyon Mill Homes, founded by Brett Burgess, is a company built on a legacy as enduring as the red rock landscapes that define Southern Utah. Its heritage traces back to the settlement of the region, when ancestor Melancthon Burgess constructed the first home in the St. George Valley in 1861. More than 160 years later, that same pioneering spirit continues to guide the company’s vision and craftsmanship. As a multi-generational, locally rooted homebuilder, Canyon Mill Homes takes pride in its role as a hometown builder, shaped by the community, committed to its future, and inspired by the people who call it home. With every home it builds, Canyon Mill Homes honors its rich history while helping families create their own lasting legacy.
