Real estate & homes in Redstone Springs

Mornings in Redstone Springs start quiet, in the Sand Hollow area on the south side of Hurricane. You have coffee at home on a big lot, and Lin's Fresh Market on State Street is about an eight-minute drive up the road. The bigger draw is the other way, toward Sand Hollow Reservoir, roughly five minutes off. A sunrise paddle or a quick run on an off-highway vehicle (OHV) before work is a real option.

The streets stay calm through the day. The homes are large, the lots are heavily landscaped, and there is no through-traffic. Red rock shows from many streets, a reminder that Zion is about 45 minutes east and the trailheads are minutes away.

Evening settles in with room to breathe: long driveways, walled backyards, and the space that oversized lots give you. Redstone Springs is a small area of custom homes on acreage, not a neighborhood of smaller, more affordable homes.

Redstone Springs is a small area of large lots, not a subdivision of homes built from a few repeated plans. Lots run roughly three-quarters of an acre and up. The homes on them are large custom single-family builds, several from the last decade or so. Expect big square footage, daylight basements with a walkout door to the yard, oversized garages, and yards that were designed rather than dropped in. Many lots have a separate pressurized irrigation line for the yard (secondary water) alongside city drinking water, which keeps the landscaping lush through a Hurricane summer.

Because these are custom homes, no two are quite alike. The outside looks, the finishes, and the floor plans change from lot to lot. The private touches carry outside too: walled backyards, pools and spas, fire features, and long private driveways. If you want space, privacy, and a high-end build near Sand Hollow, this is the kind of area to look at.

Newer custom construction helps in one way: the heating and cooling, the roof, and the windows on the more recent builds are fairly young. That usually means fewer near-term repair surprises and better energy performance during a Hurricane summer. The bigger differences from one home to the next are square footage, lot size, and the quality of the finishes. Weigh those alongside build age when you compare properties.

Redstone Springs is on the south side of Hurricane, near the water and the dunes. Sand Hollow Reservoir, with its red sand beaches and OHV dunes, is about five minutes south. The JEM Trail and the Hurricane Cliffs trail system are about 25 minutes east, and the Hurricane Rim trailhead is about 15. Confluence Park, where the Virgin River and La Verkin Creek meet, is about thirteen minutes north.

The reservoir is close, and the State Street stores are a short drive north. Times are estimated, measured from Redstone Springs.

The Washington County School District serves Redstone Springs. On this side of town, students generally go from Coral Canyon Elementary (grades K-5, in Washington) to Hurricane Intermediate (grades 6-7), Hurricane Middle (grades 8-9), and Hurricane High (grades 10-12). Valley Academy, a K-8 charter school in Hurricane, is another choice. The district can change which schools serve which streets as the area grows. For any home you are serious about, check the current school with the district. GreatSchools and Niche both publish school data you can weigh yourself. Utah Tech University and Dixie Technical College are about 25 minutes away in St. George.
