A Cedar City community
Living in Magnolia Fields.
A new neighborhood on Cedar City's far west side, roughly three miles west of Interstate 15 off Olesia Street and Fern Street. Premier Development is building it out plan by plan, on open west-side lots with a quieter, more rural feel than the downtown grid, with Main Street still a short drive away.
I am Scott Buehler, a Southern Utah resident of 20-plus years and a licensed REALTOR and lender. On new construction like this my job is to read the plan, the lot, the finish package, and the contract with you, so the home you fall for is the home you actually get.

Current listings
Homes for sale in Magnolia Fields.
Fed straight from the MLS and limited to homes inside the community: new Magnolia Fields listings appear here the day they list, and sold homes drop off. Because this is an active new-construction release, I pin the search to the subdivision name rather than a broad city query.

Life on the west side
What a day out here looks like.
Magnolia Fields sits out on Cedar City's far west side, roughly three miles past the freeway where the lots open up and the streets are still new enough to smell like fresh asphalt. Mornings here are quiet in a way the downtown grid is not, with open sky, wide setbacks, and the Iron County farmland still visible past the last finished street.
The trade for that space is a short drive for the daily stops. Cedar City's Main Street corridor sits back east across town, and the freeway on-ramp is closer than downtown is. For a lot of buyers that is the right swap: a quieter address and a builder-fresh home in exchange for a few extra minutes on the drive in.
Because this is an active new-construction release, the neighborhood is still filling in. That means the practical questions matter as much as the floor plan: which lot, which phase, what is included, and when the home will actually be finished. That is the part I help you sort out before you write an offer.
The setting
A west-side address worth knowing by street.
Magnolia Fields runs along Olesia Street and Fern Street, out around 3900 West in the 84721 ZIP code, roughly three miles west of Interstate 15. Recorded plat records place the two namesake streets side by side, which is also why two of the builder's floor plans share their names with the roads.
Out here, the exact street and phase matter more than they would on a downtown block. The drive back to Main Street, the school-boundary check, and the freeway route can all shift by a few minutes depending on the lot and how far the current building phase has reached, so I confirm those address by address rather than for the neighborhood as a whole.
On the map
Olesia Street and Fern Street anchor the neighborhood in the 84721 ZIP code on Cedar City's far west side.
Freeway access
Roughly 3 miles to Interstate 15, reached via State Route 56 (200 North), so heading out of town starts on open road.
Still growing
More phases have been planned since the first release, so confirm the active phase, the current map, and completion timing before you commit.
Homes & floor plans
A handful of plans, built new.
Magnolia Fields is a Premier Development community. The lineup is anchored by five named plans, the Fern, Olesia, Reese, Alisa, and Piper, with finished sizes running roughly 1,472 to 2,624 square feet, plus additional layouts the builder has introduced as the release has grown. You will find single-level designs and larger family plans, set on west-side lots.
The homes have generally included a solid spec: 2x6 exterior walls with an upgraded insulation package, quartz counters, 8-foot entry doors, an included refrigerator, upgraded lighting with ceiling fans, covered patios, and large backyards finished with block walls. Those are the headline inclusions on the builder's own plan sheet, but they can change by plan and by release, so I confirm the exact finish list for the specific home rather than treating any of it as a blanket promise.
With new construction, the plan sheet sells the dream and the contract sets the reality. I read both before you sign either.
One note worth keeping straight: two of the plan names double as street names out here, so "Fern" or "Olesia" can mean a floor plan or an address depending on the context. When we tour, I make sure we are comparing the right plan on the right lot.
New-build checklist
Before you write, pin down the details.
New construction needs a different read than an established resale. Here, I walk through the active phase, the exact plan and elevation, the lot, what is included versus optional, and what the builder will finish before closing, so the price you are comparing reflects the home you will actually own.
The backyard, block-wall, and finish notes above are a great starting point, but I treat them as a plan-by-plan checklist until a current builder document or the MLS remarks confirm them for the specific home. That is how you avoid surprises at the final walkthrough.
Plan and elevation
Confirm the plan name, elevation, finished square footage, and any structural options before comparing prices.
Lot and yard
Check rear-yard size, block-wall status, drainage, and what landscaping or fencing is included before closing.
Phase timing
Verify the release date, completion estimate, nearby construction, and how many competing homes are active.
Errands & drive times
Errands, measured in minutes.
This is the practical answer to "how far is everything from out here." Magnolia Fields sits west of the freeway off Olesia Street, so the daily stops mean a short run east on State Route 56 back toward Main Street. Times below are measured from near Olesia Street and are estimates; confirm door-to-door for any specific lot.
| The errand | Where it happens | From the neighborhood |
|---|---|---|
| Freeway on-ramp | Interstate 15 at Exit 59 (SR-56/200 North) | ~9 min |
| Full grocery run | Lin's Fresh Market, 150 N Main Street | ~13 min |
| Second grocery option | Smith's Food & Drug, 633 S Main Street | ~15 min |
| Hardware and home improvement | The Home Depot, Providence Center | ~15 min |
| Healthcare | Cedar City Hospital, 1303 N Main Street | ~14 min |
| Downtown and campus | Historic Main Street, Southern Utah University | ~14 min |
| Flights | Cedar City Regional Airport (CDC) | ~16 min |
| Off-road and mountain biking | Three Peaks Recreation Area (BLM) | ~15 min |
Farther out, the freeway puts the bigger trips within reach: Brian Head's ski runs are about 45 minutes north via Parowan, Cedar Breaks National Monument is roughly 45 minutes up State Route 14 in season, and St. George is about an hour south. The full day-trip map lives in the Cedar City guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Magnolia Fields is part of the Iron County School District. This far-west address sits outside the district's more established east-side elementary zones, and the district has been redrawing elementary boundaries as new construction fills in, so I do not guess at a specific elementary, middle, or high school assignment here. Use the district's official boundary lookup for the exact address, since it updates faster than any citywide guide can.
Boundaries can shift again as this side of town keeps building out, so confirm the current assignment for any home you are serious about directly with the district rather than assuming from a nearby property. For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself, and Southern Utah University is about fifteen minutes east.
I cover the bigger education picture, including SUU, in the Cedar City guide.
About the builder
Who is actually building this street.
Premier Development is a Southern Utah builder, not an out-of-state production company. The company was founded in St. George in 1994, after its founder had already spent years building homes in California, and Magnolia Fields is one of several Iron and Washington County communities the builder has developed, alongside projects like Country Lane in Santa Clara, South Point in St. George, and Summerfield Estates in Washington.
That track record matters more on new construction than a plan sheet does. A builder with decades of Southern Utah projects behind it has a reputation to protect on warranty work, finish quality, and following through on a multi-phase release, and I check that history alongside the current listings before I recommend any specific home.
What it does not tell you is how this specific phase, this specific lot, or this specific contract will play out. Builder standards can vary release to release, so I still walk the plan, the lot, and the paperwork with you the same way I would on any other new-construction purchase.
What locals know
Notes from the west side.
No plan sheet tells you this part. After more than 20 years in Southern Utah, here is what I would tell a friend buying new construction out here.
-
The plan name might be a street. Two of the plan names double as street names out here, so I keep "the Fern plan" and "Fern Street" straight when we are comparing homes and addresses.
-
Included is not the same as standard. Quartz counters, the refrigerator, the block walls, the covered patio: real features, but I get them confirmed in writing for your specific home before we count on any one of them.
-
Check the school zone before the paint color. This side of town is still being assigned as it grows, so I confirm the district boundary before we get attached to a specific lot.
-
New-build prices move with the phase. As phases open and close, builder pricing and incentives shift, so I read the current release against live resale competition before we make an offer.

Buying in Magnolia Fields
Magnolia Fields sits on Cedar City's far west side, roughly 3 miles west of Interstate 15 in the 84721 ZIP code, out past 3900 West. Olesia Street and Fern Street run through it, and the setting stays quiet and open out here while the drive back to Main Street and the freeway is still short.
These are new-construction single-family homes built by Premier Development from a set of named floor plans, with finished sizes running roughly 1,472 to 2,624 square feet. Expect a mix of single-level and two-story builds on west-side lots.
Premier Development is building Magnolia Fields, a Southern Utah builder founded in St. George in 1994 with more than 40 years of combined home-building experience. Builder, phase, included features, and pricing can change by release, so confirm those on the current release before you rely on them, and I will help you read the paperwork.
Homes here have generally included large backyards with block walls, covered patios, quartz counters, 8-foot entry doors, an included refrigerator, upgraded lighting with ceiling fans, and 2x6 exterior walls with an upgraded insulation package. Inclusions vary by plan and release, so confirm the exact finish list for the specific home.
Because it is new construction, the number moves with the plan, the lot, and the options you choose. Entry pricing has generally started in the high $300,000s, and a larger plan with premium options runs higher. Prices move, so treat that as a starting point and confirm against the live listings.
