This is a 1975 split-level on 12+ acres outside St. George, and it has been in the same family since it was built. The land is the headline — a long private driveway crosses a wooden bridge over a creek before reaching the house, and the property backs into a deep ravine with mature hardwoods.
The house itself is almost entirely original. Expect dark wood cabinets, vintage vinyl tile, brown carpet, and coloured bathroom fixtures throughout. The bones are solid and the layout is generous, including a two-storey great room, a large lower-level bedroom with sauna, and a triple detached garage. But every surface is ready for a full renovation.
Buyers here are paying for the acreage, the privacy, and the setting. The house will need significant work to bring it to current standards.
