There’s a moment in every Southern Utah neighborhood.

At first, almost nobody knows about it.

Then a Parade of Homes happens…
People drive through…
Builders get booked…
Prices jump…
And buyers say the same sentence every time:

“I wish we would have bought here earlier.”

Right now, this home sits in that moment.

And that’s why this opportunity is different.

A Neighborhood Built for Homeowners — Not Speculation

This home is located on Curley Hollow Trail in St. George, tucked beside the red rock landscape and directly next to Mo’s Canyon — a local favorite for hiking, biking, and evening walks.

Unlike most new subdivisions, this neighborhood was not built by investors or large production builders.

Every surrounding home was built by owners for themselves.

Which means:
• higher quality homes
• pride of ownership
• long-term neighbors
• architectural consistency
• no turnover feeling

There are currently no resale homes available here — because people who live here planned to stay.

And now, for the first time, one more custom home is being built and offered before completion.

Why Buying During Construction Matters

This home is currently in the framing stage.

For most buyers, that sounds unfinished.

For smart buyers, it means something else:

You get to step into a custom home without waiting two years to build one.

You can:
• see the structure
• understand the layout
• make certain selections
• watch your home being built

And most importantly…

You avoid today’s biggest problem in building:
starting from scratch.

Built by Kelsch Construction

A Hands-On Builder Family

This home is being constructed by Kelsch Construction, led by Keith Kelsch along with licensed general contractors Makinzie and Parker.

They are not a volume builder.

They do not run 25 homes at once.

They stay hands-on in every project.

Their reputation in Southern Utah has come from one thing:
homes that function better after you live in them — not just when you tour them.

They focus on:
• livability
• durability
• smart layouts
• storage
• mechanical efficiency

Because they know most homeowners build once — and mistakes last decades.

Designed for the Way Southern Utah Residents Actually Live

This isn’t a formal showpiece floor plan.

It’s a lifestyle plan.

4 Bedrooms + Den | 3.5 Bathrooms

The den gives a true office or hobby room.
The split layout allows privacy for guests or family.
The open living space connects to outdoor living.

And then there is the feature buyers don’t realize they care about until they see it…

Nearly 2,000 Square Feet of Garage Space

Southern Utah living includes toys.

Boats.
Side-by-sides.
Trailers.
Tools.
Workbenches.

This home includes:

50-foot RV garage + 2-car garage
≈ 2,000 sq ft of garage space

This eliminates:
• storage units
• HOA parking stress
• off-site vehicle storage

You don’t just store your life — you live it.

Built for Efficiency and Comfort

Behind the drywall matters.

This home features 2x6 exterior walls, which provide:

• better insulation
• lower power bills
• quieter interior
• improved temperature consistency
• stronger structural envelope

You may never see it — but you will feel it every single day.

Especially in Southern Utah summers.

The Timing Advantage

The 2026 Parade of Homes is approaching.

When that happens, attention will come to this area.

Builders’ schedules will fill.
Lot prices will rise.
Finished home values will adjust upward.

Buying before a neighborhood’s spotlight is often where homeowners gain the most equity — not after it becomes popular.

Right now, this home sits just before that shift.

Who This Home Is Perfect For

This home is ideal for someone who:

• wanted to build but doesn’t want the stress
• wants new construction without the wait
• needs serious garage space
• values location and outdoor access
• wants a long-term neighborhood

It’s also ideal for buyers relocating to Southern Utah who want a custom-level home but don’t yet know local builders.

You get both the home and the builder relationship.

For Buyers Thinking About Building

Many people who walk a framed home say something important:

“Now I understand how a house actually works.”

If you’ve ever considered building, touring this property may be more valuable than touring a finished home.

You can see:
• framing structure
• room flow
• garage planning
• storage strategy

Kelsch Construction does accept custom build clients in limited numbers each year, and most come from people who first toured one of their homes under construction.

The Opportunity

Price: $1,350,000
New Construction | Curley Hollow Trail, St. George

This is not just a home listing.

It is a chance to:
• move into a custom neighborhood
• enter before demand spikes
• and avoid the uncertainty of starting a full custom build

Some buyers purchase a house.

Some buyers purchase timing.

This one offers both.
