An Enoch master-planned community
Living in Nelson Farm.
A master-planned PUD in central Enoch, Utah, designed to be built out in phases the city calls pods. Hawks Landing delivers single-family homes on generous lots, while Penny Farm Cottages brings attainable starter homes with alley-loaded garages and ADU-ready basements. Future pods will roll out as developers buy and build on different sections over the coming years.
I am Scott Buehler. I have spent 20+ years in Iron County, and Nelson Farm rewards knowing the master plan, not just the listing. I can show you what is built now, what is coming next, and how the pods fit together.

How Nelson Farm works
A master plan built in pods over time.
Nelson Farm is a Planned Unit Development in central Enoch, designed to be built out in phases the city calls pods. Rather than a single builder finishing everything at once, the PUD releases sections to developers over time, each pod bringing its own street pattern, home type, and character while staying inside the overall master plan.
The pod system means Nelson Farm will look different every couple of years. Right now, Hawks Landing and Penny Farm Cottages are the active pods, each serving a different buyer. Hawks Landing delivers traditional single-family on generous lots, while Penny Farm Cottages is built tighter around walkability, rear parking, and attainable pricing. As the remaining pods release, the mix will diversify further.
I treat Nelson Farm as active, evolving inventory. What is for sale today in Hawks Landing is not the same as what Penny Farm is releasing, and the pod a home sits in drives the pricing conversation as much as the floor plan does.
Pod 1
Hawks Landing, the pod that started it.
Single-family on real lots
One of the first preliminary subdivision plats brought forward under the Nelson Farm master plan. Single-family homes, a mix of ramblers and two-story builds in craftsman and traditional styles, on lots running from a quarter-acre to half an acre with attached garages and open floor plans.
Views toward the Markagunt
From many streets you get long looks across Cedar Valley toward the Markagunt Plateau. The product that put Nelson Farm on the map, and still the pod buyers ask about first.
Mid $300Ks to low $500Ks
Hawks Landing homes have generally landed between the mid $300,000s and the low $500,000s depending on size, lot, and finish level. Check the live listings for current pricing since inventory shifts with builder releases.
Grounded in the master plan
As POD 1, Hawks Landing established the street grid and character that later pods build on. It shares the Midvalley Road access, the Enoch parks, and the Three Peaks proximity that make Nelson Farm worth watching.
Pod 2
Penny Farm Cottages, starter homes with options.
Penny Farm Cottages is the second active pod at Nelson Farm, designed for buyers who want a lower entry point without giving up on location. The neighborhood is built around tree-lined streets, parks, and alley-loaded garages with rear parking, giving the streetscape a cleaner, more walkable feel than a front-drive subdivision.
The product here is starter homes, intentionally scaled to be attainable. Several floor plans offer the option of a finished basement configured as an accessory dwelling unit, which gives an owner a path to rental income from the same property. If you are looking for a home that can help pay for itself, this is the pod to focus on.
Every Penny Farm Cottage sits inside the Nelson Farm master plan, which means it shares the same Midvalley Road access, the same Enoch parks and schools, and the same short drive to I-15 and Cedar City as Hawks Landing. You get the master-planned setting at a starter price point.
In Nelson Farm the pod you are in moves the price as much as the floor plan does.
What is coming
The pods still on the drawing board.
The Nelson Farm PUD carries a maximum unit cap and releases additional pods as developers purchase and build on different sections. New subdivision names will appear over time. I track Enoch City planning notices so I can tell you what is coming before it hits the MLS.
Phased over years
The PUD is not a single builder finishing everything at once. Pods release as the market supports them, which means Nelson Farm in five years will look different from Nelson Farm today.
I track what is coming
If you are buying in Hawks Landing or Penny Farm today, you should know what pods are coming next. Future inventory can shift the resale picture, and I follow Enoch City planning so we are never surprised.
The one thing that sets it apart
A corner store, written into the plan.
Most Enoch subdivisions are purely residential, and you drive down toward Cedar City for anything beyond a school run. Nelson Farm is drawn differently. When the plan went through Enoch City, roughly 22 acres along Minersville Highway were rezoned from single-family residential to Community Commercial, setting aside a corner of the master plan for stores and services rather than more rooftops.
That is a meaningful distinction for a buyer. It means the daily-errand trip that most of Enoch takes into town could, over the plan's life, land at the community's own western edge instead. Nothing is built there yet, and commercial timelines move on their own schedule, so treat it as planned intent rather than a promise. But it is the reason Nelson Farm reads more like a small town in the making than a single pod of houses.
If a shorter errand run is part of why you are looking here, this is the piece to watch. I follow the Enoch City planning calendar and can tell you where the commercial parcel stands whenever you are weighing a lot.

Errands & drive times
Errands, measured in minutes.
This is the practical answer to "how far is everything from central Enoch." The short version: the freeway is right there at the Exit 62 interchange about five minutes east, the rest of Cedar City is about ten minutes down Main, and the big-box errands sit farther on at the Exit 57 end of town.
| The errand | Where it happens | From Nelson Farm |
|---|---|---|
| Full grocery run | Walmart Supercenter, Providence Center Drive | ~15 min |
| Second grocery option | Smith's and Lin's, Main Street corridor | ~7 to 10 min |
| Big-box and shopping | Providence Center, the Exit 57 interchange | ~15 min |
| Movie night | Megaplex screens at Providence Center | ~15 min |
| Fuel | Exit 62 interchange stations | ~5 min |
| Campus and games | Southern Utah University | ~10 min |
| Dinner downtown | Historic Main Street | ~10 min |
| Healthcare | Cedar City Hospital, north Main | ~12 min |
| Flights | Cedar City Regional Airport (CDC) | ~15 min |
Farther out, living beside Exit 62 means the drive south starts on the freeway instead of in traffic: Brian Head's ski runs are about 45 minutes, St. George about 50, and Zion roughly an hour. The full day-trip map lives in the Enoch guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Nelson Farm is served by the Iron County School District, whose district offices sit on Royal Hunte Drive here in Enoch. Which specific schools serve a given address can change as the district adjusts boundaries, so confirm the current assignment for any home you are serious about directly with the district. For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself. And Southern Utah University is about ten minutes away.
I cover the bigger education picture, including SUU, in the Enoch guide.
What locals know
Notes on buying inside a master plan.
A plat map does not tell you how a phased PUD lives day to day. Here is what I walk clients through before they pick a pod at Nelson Farm.
-
Ask which pod, not just which lot. Hawks Landing and Penny Farm Cottages are different products at different price points, and the next pods are not platted yet. The pod a home sits in shapes its resale set more than the floor plan does.
-
Living next to construction is temporary. Buy early in a pod and you trade a couple of years of trucks and framing for first pick of the lots. That is the tradeoff a phased plat hands you, and it is worth naming up front.
-
The Minersville Highway corner matters. Enoch rezoned roughly 22 acres of the plan on Minersville Highway for commercial use, so the everyday errand stops the plan carries could eventually sit at the community's own edge, not just down in Cedar City.
-
Penny Farm's basements are a strategy, not a bonus. Several cottage plans finish the lower level as an accessory dwelling. If a home that helps carry its own payment is the goal, that option belongs on the shortlist before you tour anything.

The buyer side and the seller side.
Buying in Nelson Farm
Nelson Farm is a master-planned PUD in central Enoch, off Midvalley Road. It sits about five minutes from I-15 and about ten minutes south of Cedar City, with Three Peaks Recreation Area roughly ten minutes northwest.
Mostly single-family homes, a mix of ramblers and two-story builds in craftsman and traditional styles. Lots generally run from a quarter-acre to half an acre, and you will see attached garages, open floor plans, and mountain views toward the Markagunt Plateau from many streets.
Hawks Landing is traditional single-family on quarter-acre to half-acre lots with attached garages and craftsman styling. Penny Farm Cottages is built tighter around walkability, with alley-loaded garages, rear parking, tree-lined streets, and floor plans that offer ADU-ready basement options for rental income. Same master plan, different buyer.
Pricing tracks the pod. Hawks Landing single-family has generally opened in the mid $300,000s and run into the low $500,000s depending on size, lot, and finish, while Penny Farm Cottages is positioned below that as attainable starter product. Because these are new-construction releases, the number moves with each phase, so confirm against the live listings before you anchor to it.

Selling in Nelson Farm
Values here move with the pod, the plan, and how much new-construction inventory the developer is releasing at the time, which is exactly what automated estimates tend to miss. Start with the home valuation page and I will run a comparison against recent Nelson Farm sales, no obligation.
List with me and your home is featured across MovingUtah, on this page, on the Enoch hub, and in the featured listings buyers browse on this site. The get featured page walks through exactly how that works.
The wrinkle here is the builder next door. When a pod is still releasing new homes, your resale is competing with brand-new inventory a block over, so pricing and presentation have to account for that. Once a pod finishes out, that pressure eases. Tell me your timeline and I will read your specific pod against what the developer is doing, not give you a pitch.
Yes, and it is common here. Timing the two is mostly a sequencing problem, and I cover the playbook in the buy and sell at once guide. Because I am dual-licensed, I can keep the sale, the search, and the financing on one desk.

Hawks Landing single-family homes here have generally opened in the mid $300,000s and run into the low $500,000s while Penny Farm Cottages sit below that, so a resale has to be priced against the pod it belongs to and the builder still working next door.
