175 S HIGHWAY 12 ST E, Torrey, UT 84775

Located right in the heart of Torrey, Utah - the gateway town to Capitol Reef Country - this 1.25-acre lot sits at one of the most coveted intersections in all of southern Utah: the junction of Scenic Highway 12 and Highway 24. One road leads you into Capitol Reef National Park, just 8 miles away. The other takes you on a 123-mile journey through Bryce Canyon, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and the stunning cliff communities of Boulder and Escalante. You're not just buying land - you're buying the crossroads of Utah's greatest outdoor playground. A Dark Sky Destination Capitol Reef National Park became one of the world's 65 International Dark Sky Parks in 2015, and Torrey followed in 2018 when it was named Utah's first International Dark Sky Community. The star-gazing here is genuinely extraordinary - the Milky Way spirals overhead on clear nights, and amateur astronomers have reported seeing the Andromeda Galaxy - over two million light years away - with the naked eye. This designation is a significant tourism draw and an increasingly rare amenity that vacation rental guests actively seek out. Torrey: Small Town, Big Tourism Situated at an elevation of 6,800 feet, Torrey offers tourists pleasant summer weather, proximity to canyons, trails and parks, and wholesome small-town character. That elevation also means Torrey typically runs 10 to 15 degrees cooler than Utah's more popular southern destinations - a major selling point during peak summer travel season. The town offers restaurants, art galleries, a farmers market, lodging, and guided adventure services - everything a visitor needs, without the overcrowding of Moab or Zion.
