Perfect Retirement or Small Family Home
Description: Located in a quiet neighborhood within the community of Ivins, in the Saint
George area of Southwest Utah. Many of the windows bring into focus beautiful
unobstructed views of Red Mountain, Snow Canyon and Pine Mountain.
Walking trails are
only a few feet away from the back yard, and the Snow Canyon State Park entrance, which
features hiking, biking and camping, is only two miles away. The front yard is fully
landscaped, including irrigation, and the back yard remains unfinished, waiting for
whatever ones imagination desires to create.
The well maintained house, with tile roofing, is approximately 1,210 square feet
consisting of three bedrooms, two baths and utility room with pantry. It has an attached
two car garage and covered patio off of the dining area. The living room and bedrooms
are carpeted, with wood floors in the kitchen and dining area.
Utilities: The water heater and central heating is natural gas, all else is electric. It
has both central air conditioning and heating. Appliances included are microwave, range,
dishwasher, refrigerator and washer and dryer. It is wired for cable, which is
automatically included as part of the HOA dues ($46.00 monthly).
Climate:
Saint George has ideal winter temperatures from about late September through
April, making outdoor activities a more pleasant experience than most areas of the
country. The summers do tend to get a bit warm, with temperatures topping out into the
low hundreds most days, unless cooled down by the summer monsoon rains. Outdoor
activities in town are then best enjoyed during the early mornings or late evenings.
However there is an easy escape from the heat by heading about twenty to thirty miles
north of town to the Pine Valley area. The town itself is at 6,500 feet in elevation,
with picnic grounds, hiking trails and camping nearby, and if you really want to cool
down, Cedar Breaks National Park is over 10,000 feet in elevation and is only about one
and a half hours away.
Area Features: Kolob and Zion National Parks are both less than an hour away, with Bryce
Canyon, Cedar Breaks and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon National parks real doable
day trips as well. There is also skiing in the winter at Brian Head about two hours
away. Furthermore there are a number of local golf courses, not to mention an extensive
walking and bike trail system that connects to many of the local parks and parts of the
city.
There are also theatrical shows and musical concerts performed at the nearby
Tuachan performance center (about two miles).
