A Hurricane community
Pecan Valley Real Estate & Homes
Pecan Valley is a newer Artisan Homes resort community on Hurricane's southwest edge, out toward Sand Hollow. The homes are large and built for recreation and rental income, with private pools and 45-foot RV garages, and many lots have short-term-rental approval. Pecan Valley is not a quiet cul-de-sac subdivision. It was built for play, minutes from the reservoir and the dunes.

Life in Pecan Valley
What a day in the neighborhood looks like
A morning here usually points at the water. Sand Hollow is about ten minutes down the road. Before the day heats up, the boat or the side-by-side comes out of that oversized garage. You launch on the water, or you air down on the dunes, which means letting some air out of the tires so they grip the sand. On the days you stay put, the backyard pool is the whole plan, and most of these homes were designed around exactly that.
Midday means a run into town for supplies. Pecan Valley sits on the desert edge, roughly ten minutes from the State Street stores. People tend to stock the fridge on the way in and not think about it again. When a home is being rented, the day looks different. Guests unload their gear and figure out the pool controls, and the RV or trailer tucks in alongside the house.
Evenings are quiet in a way that surprises people. Out this way there is a lot of open ground and not much through-traffic, so after dark you mostly hear wind and the pool pump. On a clear night the sky opens up, because you are away from the brighter core of town. The red rims around Sand Hollow hold the last light longer than they do downtown.
The Sand Hollow area
What is out your door
Sand Hollow State Park
Utah's warm-water boating reservoir and its red sand dunes sit about ten minutes south. You can wakeboard and paddleboard on the water and drive side-by-sides on the dunes. That is the reason most Pecan Valley homes were built with a garage for a boat and other toys.
Sand Hollow Golf Course
The 27-hole Sand Hollow layout is a short drive from the neighborhood, with championship holes along the rim above the reservoir. It is one of the best-known desert courses in the state.
The backyard pool
Most Pecan Valley homes were built with a private pool and a fire-pit patio, sized so a full house of guests has somewhere to be. The pool carries the summer here, when the dunes get too hot by midday.
Quail Creek Reservoir
Sand Hollow's cooler, deeper sister reservoir sits a few minutes northwest, off SR-9. Quail Creek is popular for trout fishing and scuba. On a busy weekend, it is also a quieter place to paddle than the main reservoir.
The 45-foot RV garage
Artisan's signature here is an oversized garage, up to about 45 feet deep, with extra RV parking alongside the house. The garage is built to hold a motorhome, a boat, and a trailer of toys, with no storage-lot bill.
Zion, when you want it
Zion National Park is roughly 35 minutes east on SR-9, close enough for a morning hike and a return to the pool by afternoon. St. George and its airport are about 25 minutes the other way.
Homes & garages
Big homes built to hold a crowd
Pecan Valley is an Artisan Homes development. Building began around 2020 with phase 1, and more lots are filling in behind it. The homes are consistent: large single-family homes, most with a private pool, a fire-pit patio, and that signature oversized RV garage. Floor plans generally run from four to seven bedrooms, with the square footage to match. They feel more like desert vacation homes than everyday smaller, more affordable homes.
These homes were designed for rental income and group stays, not with resale as a typical family home in mind. Many plans carry fire sprinklers so larger groups can stay in them. The layouts lean toward bunk rooms, several gathering spaces, and outdoor living around the pool. Even if you buy one to live in full time, you are buying a home that was built to host.
Out here, the garage is the feature. People walk the pool and the kitchen, then spend twice as long measuring whether their motorhome and boat will both fit inside.
Before you fall for a plan, check how that exact home is set up to be used. Some come ready for nightly rental. They have a rental management deal in place, a booking history, and furnishings that convey, which means they stay with the home when you buy it. Buying one of those is different from buying a home with nothing set up that you plan to live in. Both exist in Pecan Valley. I will help you sort out what conveys, what the rental approval on that lot allows, and what the numbers look like either way.
Two ways to own here
A home to live in, or a rental
Buyers here do not all buy the same way, and that is the thing to sort out first. The homes were designed to do two jobs. The job you want changes what you should look at, what you should pay, and how you should finance it.
The recreation home
You want the pool, the toy garage, and Sand Hollow at the end of the street, maybe as a full-time home or a family getaway. Here the questions are about how you will live in the home. Look at the floor plan, and check that the garage will clear the RV, boat, or trailer you own. See which way the pool faces and how the street feels off-season. The rental approval matters less than whether the home fits how you will use it.
The income property
You are running the numbers on the home as a nightly rental. Now four things matter most: the lot's short-term-rental approval, how many people the home sleeps, what furnishings and rental management come with it, and any booking history on paper. I am licensed in both real estate and lending. On any one purchase I take one role. If I am your lender, I can tell you early if a home could be hard to get a loan on.
On the money side, projected rental income is not a promise. Occupancy and rates swing with the season and the market, and the costs of running a home with a pool and an RV garage are not small. Treat any pro forma (a forecast of income and costs) as a starting point. Check the rental approval on that exact lot with Hurricane City before you lean on it. This is general information, not financial, tax, or legal advice.
Sand, water, and slickrock
Why the toys come first
Living on this side of Hurricane puts you at the doorstep of Washington County's best outdoor play, not its downtown. The reservoirs, the dunes, and the OHV (off-highway vehicle) country are all a short drive south and west. That is exactly why homes here were built around a garage big enough to store what you use.
Sand Hollow dunes
The open red sand inside Sand Hollow State Park is prime side-by-side and dirt-bike country, about ten minutes south. Unload where the riders park, let some air out of your tires, and you are riding within the hour.
Sand Mountain OHV
The larger Sand Mountain trail network fans out beyond the reservoir, with miles of dunes and slickrock. It is one of the best-known off-road areas in the southwest corner of the state.
Gooseberry Mesa
Gooseberry Mesa has world-class slickrock mountain biking with Zion views, on a mesa you reach by dirt roads southeast of town. For guests who bring bikes, it is a bucket-list ride.
The full outdoor picture, including Zion, the trail networks, and the reservoirs, is in the Hurricane guide.
Errands & drive times
Errands, measured in minutes
Here is the catch of living out by Sand Hollow. You are close to the water and the dunes, and a little farther from the store than you would be downtown. Times are estimated, measured from 2250 South.
| The errand | Where it happens | From Pecan Valley |
|---|---|---|
| Boat and dune day | Sand Hollow State Park entrance | ~10 min |
| Full grocery run | Walmart Supercenter, west State Street | ~10 min |
| Second grocery option | Lin's Fresh Market, State Street | ~12 min |
| Fuel and quick stop | Maverik, State Street | ~10 min |
| Dining out | State Street and downtown Hurricane | ~12 min |
| Urgent care (24/7 ER on the same campus) | Intermountain Hurricane Valley Clinic with InstaCare, 75 N 2260 W | ~11 min |
| Golf | Sand Hollow Golf Course clubhouse | ~8 min |
| Zion National Park | Springdale entrance via SR-9 | ~35 min |
| Flights | St. George Regional Airport (SGU) | ~25 min |
Life out here is built around recreation. The reservoir, the dunes, and the golf are the closest things to your door, and the grocery run is the trip you plan around. St. George and its airport sit about 25 minutes west when you need the bigger city. The full day-trip map lives in the Hurricane guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts
Pecan Valley is in the Washington County School District. A fair number of buyers here treat the home as a second residence or a rental, so schools are not always the deciding factor. For anyone moving in full time, the in-town public options for the younger grades start with Three Falls School at 789 S 700 W and Hurricane Elementary. From there students go on to Hurricane Intermediate, Hurricane Middle, and Hurricane High. Valley Academy, a K-8 charter school in Hurricane, is another choice. A charter school is a public school that runs on its own, apart from the district. This corner of the county is growing fast, and the district changes which schools serve which streets as it builds. Ask the district for the current assignment on any specific address before you count on it. GreatSchools and Niche both publish independent data you can weigh for yourself. Higher education runs through Utah Tech University and Dixie Technical College in St. George, about 25 minutes west.
I cover the bigger education picture in the Hurricane guide.
What locals know
Notes from around Hurricane
A listing photo shows you the pool and the garage. It does not show you what daily life is like out by Sand Hollow, or what to check before you buy here. These are the things I would walk a friend through.
-
Rental approval goes with the lot, not the name. Buyers assume "resort community" means every home can be rented nightly, but it does not work that way. The short-term-rental status belongs to the specific lot and to Hurricane's current rules. Check the exact address with the city before you build a budget on booking income.
-
Measure the garage, do not trust the label. The label "45-foot RV garage" covers a lot of real depths and door heights across the plans out here. If a certain motorhome or a boat on a tall trailer has to fit, bring me the dimensions. I will confirm the actual clear opening (the real door height and width) on that home, not the brochure number.
-
The pool is a running cost, not just a feature. Desert sun, hard water, and heavy guest use mean these pools need real upkeep, and a rented home usually needs a pool service on contract. Put the maintenance and the utility bill into your numbers, because summer here runs the equipment hard.
-
You trade errands for recreation. Out on the desert edge of town, the grocery store is a ten-minute drive rather than around the corner. In exchange, Sand Hollow and the dunes are the closest thing to your driveway. Whether that is the right trade depends entirely on why you are buying here.
-
The neighbors may be guests. In a community built for nightly rental, some homes have new visitors every week instead of settled owners. If you plan to live here full time, walk the street you are considering on a busy summer weekend. That shows you the mix of guests and owners on it.
-
It is still filling in. Pecan Valley is a young development with lots and phases still coming. Artisan has talked about adding amenities as the site fills in. That could add to the neighborhood, and it also means active construction nearby. Ask what is committed and what is only a rendering (an artist's picture) before you let it shape what you pay.
Buy or sell here
The buyer side and the seller side
Buying in Pecan Valley
Pecan Valley sits on Hurricane's southwest side in the Sand Hollow area, off 2250 South near 5200 West. That puts it out toward the reservoir and the red dunes, not downtown. Sand Hollow State Park is about 10 minutes away, and State Route 9 is a few minutes away, for the run into town or east to Zion.
Pecan Valley is a newer resort-style community built by Artisan Homes since around 2020. The homes are large single-family plans, most with a private pool and an oversized RV garage, and many carry Hurricane's short-term-rental approval. Floor plans run from roughly four to seven bedrooms, so a home here is very different from a home in a standard Hurricane subdivision.
Many Pecan Valley homes sit in a Hurricane overlay that permits nightly rental, and that is a big part of why the community exists. An overlay is a zoning layer that adds rules on top of the base zoning. Approval is tied to the specific lot and to current city rules, not to the neighborhood name. Before you count on rental income, confirm the status of the exact home with me and with Hurricane City. I can pull the zoning and the licensing details on any address you are weighing.
Pecan Valley is about ten minutes from the stores along State Route 9. Walmart and Lin's Fresh Market are Hurricane's main grocery and retail stops there. The community sits on the desert edge toward Sand Hollow, so daily errands are a short drive, not around the corner. Dining and services are clustered along State Street.
Pecan Valley runs well above Hurricane's median (the middle price) because the homes are large, come with many extras, and are built for rental income. In Washington County MLS records, recent prices have run from the high $600,000s to over $1,000,000. Size, pool, garage, and finish all play a part. For Hurricane as a whole, my 2025 market report puts the median home sale at $580,500. Prices move, so ask me for current numbers.

Selling in Pecan Valley
Hurricane values have moved a lot in recent years. Where the lot sits and how nice the finishes are make a real difference. Start with the home valuation page, and I will compare your home with recent Pecan Valley sales. There is no obligation.
When you list with me, your home is featured on MovingUtah where it fits best. It shows first on the Hurricane listings and on this Pecan Valley page, where buyers are already looking. The get featured page explains how it works. If you are thinking about selling, I would be glad to talk it through with you.
It depends on what is competing with you in the Sand Hollow area. Pecan Valley is a small, specialized group of large rental-ready homes. Buyers shopping for one look for a well-presented home with a documented rental history. Tell me your timeline and how the home has been used, and I will tell you plainly what I see.
It does. A Pecan Valley buyer is often running the numbers on the home as an income property, so the listing has to answer their questions. It should show your booking and revenue history if you have it. It should also show what conveys with the pool and RV garage, how many people the home sleeps, and the rental approval on the lot. I market these to buyers looking for that kind of home, not to a typical buyer looking for a home to live in. I am licensed in both real estate and lending. On any one purchase I take one role. If I am your lender, I can tell you early if a home could be hard to get a loan on.

Prices have run from the high $600,000s to over $1,000,000 in Washington County MLS records, well above the Hurricane median. Many of these homes carry short-term-rental approval, so buyers run the numbers on them as income property. The price has to account for booking and revenue history, not just the finishes.
