Stucki Farms
in Washington,
by a local listing agent.
600 acres, 25 villages, a resort pool with a lazy river, and Zion Shores being built next door. Stucki Farms (now branded The Preserve at Alaia) is one of Washington County’s most layered submarkets. Here is the honest local read.
A resort-style masterplan
that quietly became a destination.
Stucki Farms sits just off the Southern Parkway on the east side of Washington City, about ten to fifteen minutes from downtown St. George. The original developer launched the community in 2018 as a nearly 600-acre master plan with 25 themed villages, dedicating roughly 140 acres to parks, lakes, walking paths, and the central resort amenity area. Six or seven years in, it now has finished homes across The Meadows, The Homesteads, The Cottages, The Cross Roads, and Lakeside at Stucki Farms, a completed Farmhouse Welcome Center, a resort pool with a lazy river, and the Karl’s Kourse miniature golf course at The Resort village.
In 2025, Visionary Homes acquired and rebranded the community as The Preserve at Alaia. Alaia is the Hawaiian word for joyful, and the name doubles as a traditional wooden surfboard. The original Stucki Farms villages still carry their names. Most residents, the MLS, and Washington County records still use Stucki Farms as the umbrella label. What changed is the next phase: new Visionary-built Alaia townhome and single-family collections are rising on the remaining village sites, and the rebrand sets up the community to anchor against the next-door Zion Shores surf resort that broke ground in 2025.
If you own a home here today, you sit in an unusual position. You are inside an already-established community with completed amenities, walking distance to a 30-acre surf resort that just put Washington City on the national real estate press cycle, and within an actively building Visionary masterplan that is pulling new buyer traffic into your zip code every weekend. That combination is rare in Washington County. It also means your home is harder to price accurately than the average Washington listing, because you are competing against new construction down the street and a buyer pool that splits across primary residents, second-home buyers, and investors.
Not one neighborhood.
A collection of them.
Each Stucki Farms village has its own product type, lot pattern, target buyer, and HOA flavor. Pricing your home accurately starts with knowing exactly which village you are in. If you are weighing a resale against a brand-new build, my Washington new-construction guide walks through that trade-off.
Established community core
One of the first villages built. Mid-size lots, production single-family homes, mature landscaping by Stucki Farms standards. A natural starting point for the community.
Modified craftsman, larger lots
The premium single-family village with the largest lots in the original plan. Modified craftsman elevations, room for RV pads or detached garages, the upper end of the original Stucki Farms resale market.
Nightly-rental zoned
Courtyard cottages on 19 acres, zoned for nightly and vacation rentals. Smaller floor plans (originally 530 to 1,200 sqft), operates with the Resort at Stucki Farms amenity package. Trades as a short-term-rental investment product, not standard residential.
Starter and right-size village
Smaller lots (originally .18 to .26 acres), designed for entry-level buyers and right-sizers. Multiple preferred builders, the more affordable end of the standard residential market inside Stucki Farms.
Water-feature premium pocket
Homes wrapping the community lakes inside the open space corridor. Premium lot orientation, view-protected, the highest resale ceiling among the original Stucki Farms villages.
New construction, current phase
Visionary’s newest single-family and townhome collections under the Alaia rebrand. Active model homes, builder incentives, the buyer-traffic generator for the next several years.
The MLS does not always tag village correctly. A Cottages comp and a Homesteads comp can look similar in an online search, but they trade in completely different markets (one is a vacation-rental product, the other is a single-family home). Pricing accuracy starts with sorting comps by village, not by Stucki Farms as a whole.
The city sets the frame,
your home sets the price.
These are the citywide Washington single-family numbers I brief every seller with before we talk strategy. Washington is a busy, healthy market: the median has held steady, sales volume is up sharply, and homes are still closing at 98 percent of list. The one real shift is pace, days on market have lengthened considerably from an unusually fast prior year, so this is a strong market that has normalized rather than cooled. What these figures cannot tell you is what your specific home is worth, because a citywide median hides the differences in lot, finish, and location that decide your number. That gap is exactly why a personalized Stucki Farms valuation matters more here than any headline median.
Citywide single-family figures, year over year. A holding median with strong volume and a normalized pace signals a healthy market that is no longer frantic. Use it as backdrop for your home, not as a per-square-foot price.

What sellers need to know
before listing at Stucki Farms.
Selling here is different from selling in a more conventional Washington City neighborhood. Five things that move the needle, and one common pricing trap.
You are competing against Visionary’s base price.
Active Alaia model homes are selling a few streets over with builder incentives, rate buy-downs, and design-center bundles. If your 2020 resale is priced like a 2026 spec home, buyers will go new. Your pricing has to acknowledge the live builder competition, not pretend it does not exist.
Village identification is everything.
Comps from The Cottages do not value a Homesteads home. Comps from Cross Roads do not value a Lakeside home. Comps from the original Meadows do not value a new Alaia spec. I split comps by village before pulling a number, every time.
The Zion Shores story is real, and it is a marketing asset.
Zion Shores broke ground in 2025 and is targeted to open mid-2027 right next door, a major luxury surf resort generating national press. It is generating national press. For buyers from California, Las Vegas, and the Wasatch Front, the surf resort is the hook. Your listing should reference it. Not every agent in town does.
If you are in The Cottages, you are selling an investment.
Cottages homes are zoned for nightly and vacation rentals. The right buyer cares about gross rental revenue, ADR, occupancy, the HOA’s rental policy, and which platforms allow you to list. Your sale package needs an income statement, not just an MLS sheet. Selling a Cottage as if it were a primary residence leaves real money on the table.
The buyer pool is geographically diverse.
In-state relocations from Salt Lake County, retirees from California, Las Vegas weekenders, ski-country exchange buyers, and Wasatch Front investors all shop here. Your marketing has to reach across markets, not just inside Washington County. That changes the photography, the floor plan documentation, the video walk-through, and the listing copy.
Anchoring on an automated online estimate.
National database models do not handle 25-village master plans well. They average across villages, miss the new-vs-resale split, and rarely catch lake or view premiums. I have seen these automated estimates miss by 8 to 15 percent here in either direction. Use one as a starting point, not a number to anchor your list price to.
What is around
Stucki Farms.
The community itself is a destination, but so is everything within a fifteen-minute radius. Here is what your future buyer wants to hear about.
The Farmhouse & Resort Pool
7-acre amenity area with the Farmhouse Welcome Center, Barn Event Center, lap pool, lazy river with waterfall, rock slide, large swimming pool with wading shelf, and a hot tub. Pool hours run 10am to 10pm in season.
Karl’s Kourse Mini Golf
An 18-hole professionally designed miniature golf course at The Resort at Stucki Farms. Genuinely fun, not just an HOA bullet point.
Lakes & Walking Paths
Approximately 24 acres of community lakes and 3.25 miles of paved walking and biking paths winding through the open space corridor, with another 140 acres of landscaped open space across the masterplan.
Zion Shores Surf Resort
A 30-acre luxury surf community next door, broke ground in 2025. Three wave systems including a PerfectSwell Zion lagoon and a UNIT Dynamic Wave (first of its kind in the world), a 9-acre lagoon, restaurants, retail, and a private clubhouse. Membership programs include 65 surf-front lots at the top of the local market.
Sand Hollow State Park
Reservoir boating, paddle boarding, sandstone shoreline, Sand Mountain OHV area. The single biggest lifestyle draw for the east side of the county.
Downtown St. George
Restaurants, the Town Square, the SunTran network, Dixie Tech, and the medical campus. Close enough to use as a daily city, far enough to feel like a getaway.
Schools & Landmarks
Washington County School District feeder schools serve the area, from Majestic Fields Elementary through Desert Hills High. For current assignments and ratings, check the district and a third-party source like GreatSchools. As a wayfinding landmark, the Red Cliffs Utah Temple sits about two miles northwest.
Warner Valley & Sand Mountain
Off-road, dirt-bike, and side-by-side country, plus access to the Warner Valley dinosaur trackways. The reason a lot of Stucki Farms owners have an RV pad.
Zion National Park
The Springdale entrance to Zion is about 45 minutes east. The same drive opens up Kolob Canyons, Snow Canyon State Park (the other direction), and the broader Greater Zion corridor.

Curious what your home in Stucki Farms would sell for in this market?
Stucki Farms is too village-specific to value from a national-database guess. The questionnaire takes about 4 minutes and combines real Washington County MLS data with on-the-ground knowledge of which village you are in, your lot, your build year, builder incentives next door, and what your specific finish package competes against. I read every submission personally, pull comps split by village and tier, and send back a written pricing band, usually within one business day.
No pressure, no obligation, no marketing list. Just an honest number.

GoStucki Farms FAQs.
Is Stucki Farms the same as The Preserve at Alaia?
Yes. Visionary Homes acquired and rebranded the community as The Preserve at Alaia in 2025, with Alaia meaning joyful in Hawaiian. The original villages built under the Stucki Farms name (The Meadows, The Homesteads, The Cottages, The Cross Roads, Lakeside) still exist with their original names and most residents and the MLS still use Stucki Farms as the umbrella label. New Visionary-built townhome and single-family collections under the Alaia name are now under construction in the remaining village sites.
What do homes sell for in Stucki Farms?
Pricing varies widely by village, from new Alaia townhomes at the accessible end through Visionary single-family new construction in the middle, depending on plan, lot, and elevation. Resale homes from the original Stucki Farms villages built between 2018 and 2024 occupy the middle tier for standard single-family, with larger Homestead and Lakeside homes pushing toward the top. The Cottages, which are zoned for nightly and vacation rentals, trade as a separate short-term-rental investment product. Lot size, view, village, builder, and proximity to the resort amenity area move the number more than the Stucki Farms label itself does.
Does Stucki Farms allow short-term and vacation rentals?
The Cottages village within Stucki Farms is specifically zoned for nightly and vacation rentals, which is what makes it different from most Washington City neighborhoods. The Resort at Stucki Farms operates as the on-site vacation rental and amenity hub for that village. The other villages (Meadows, Homesteads, Cross Roads, Lakeside, and the new Alaia collections) are primarily residential and most do not permit short-term rentals. If you own in The Cottages, your home competes in both the residential resale market and the second-home or investor market, which changes how it should be priced and marketed at sale time. Always verify current STR rules with the HOA and Washington City before listing.
What is the HOA situation at Stucki Farms?
Stucki Farms has an active HOA that funds the common areas, walking paths, lakes, parks, and the Farmhouse Welcome Center and resort pool area. HOA fees on the original villages cover yard maintenance and common area upkeep. Current fees vary by village and product type (single-family vs. townhome vs. cottage) and have evolved as the community has grown. Always verify current dues and rules with the HOA management company before listing or buying. CC&Rs, architectural review processes, and STR enforcement differ village to village.
What is Zion Shores and how does it affect Stucki Farms home values?
Zion Shores is a 30-acre luxury surf resort under construction adjacent to Stucki Farms, broke ground in 2025, and is scheduled to open in mid-2027. It will feature three different wave systems including a PerfectSwell Zion lagoon, a UNIT Dynamic Wave (the first of its kind in the world), and a UNIT Standing Wave, plus a 9-acre private lagoon. Total project is a major investment. Only 65 surf-front residential lots are planned inside Zion Shores itself, at the top of the local market. The relevance for Stucki Farms sellers is that the project is generating significant national press, putting Washington City on the map for high-end second-home buyers, and pulling buyer attention to this exact corner of Washington County. Whether you sell now or later, this is the most consequential nearby development to watch.
