The community

Old Sorrel Heights, Cedar City, Utah.

Old Sorrel Ranch is an established Cedar City neighborhood. Old Sorrel Heights is its highest section, Phase 5 along Renze Adams Street, perched to take in Three Peaks, the valley and the surrounding mountains from nearly every lot.

  • Above the rest of the Ranch. Lots are graded to maximize sweeping, unobstructed views of Three Peaks, the valley and the mountains.
  • 0.25 to 0.30 acre lots. Room for the plan you want, a three-car garage and a real backyard, with walk-out basement options on select lots.
  • Fiber to every lot. Underground utilities, so no poles or overhead lines in your view, and real bandwidth for working from home.
  • Festival City, USA. Home of Southern Utah University and the Utah Shakespeare Festival, under an hour from Brian Head Resort, about an hour from Zion National Park and minutes from I-15.
  • Four proven plans, or your own. The Westview Signature, Ridge, Horizon and Grande are starting points. Layout changes and fully custom plans are welcome.
