The Heights at Washington Bench: One of Southern Utah's Best-Kept Secrets

Tucked into the hillside above Washington, Utah is a neighborhood that most of Southern Utah hasn't discovered yet — and that's exactly what makes it special. The Heights at Washington Bench sits on an elevated perch with unobstructed views across the St. George Valley, larger lots than you'll find in most new communities, and a location that's quietly central to everything that matters.

The homes here are built by Lance Rigby Construction — a builder known across Washington County for designer finishes and serious build quality. Right now you have two options: move into one of the finished luxury homes available today, or choose an available homesite and build your own with Lance Rigby. If you've been waiting for brand-new luxury without the wait or the markup, this is the place to look.

Here's a closer look at the homes currently available, the build-your-own option, and why the location may be the best part.

Why The Heights at Washington Bench

Location is the whole story here. The Heights lands inside the top-rated Crimson Cliffs school boundaries — a major draw for families — while keeping you minutes from the things that make Southern Utah living so good:

• About 15 minutes to Sand Hollow State Park and its red-sand dunes, reservoir, and golf
• Roughly 5 minutes to the new Washington Wheels Park and the under-construction Paseo Shopping & Entertainment District
• About 10 minutes to grocery, healthcare, dining, and shopping
• Quick access to the freeway for St. George, Zion National Park, and beyond

Add in the hillside elevation, the valley views, and lots with genuine room for a pool or sport court, and you have a rare combination: a tucked-away, low-traffic setting that's still close to everything. Brand-new luxury, in a spot most buyers haven't found yet.

2072 S Pony Way — $1,475,000

A timeless desert-Mediterranean home with a layout built for versatility and a finish level that stands out even in this neighborhood.

• 5 bedrooms · 5 bathrooms · 4,192 sq ft · 0.28-acre lot

• An attached 1,175 sq ft garage with a two-car bay plus an oversized 37-ft RV bay with epoxy floors

The independent walkout level makes this one especially flexible — a true second living space for family, guests, or rental potential.

1226 E Pony Trail Way — $1,975,000

The crown jewel of the three: a full custom home from Lance Rigby Construction, designed to make the most of the hillside and the views. (Currently under construction; images include an artist's rendering. Estimated completion summer 2026.)

Prefer to Build? Available Homesites in The Heights

Not every buyer wants a finished home — and you don't have to settle for one. The Heights at Washington Bench has available homesites where you can build your own home with Lance Rigby Construction. You choose the lot, the floor plan, and the designer finishes, and you get the same build quality and hillside setting that define the neighborhood.

It's the best of both worlds: a custom home, tailored to how you live, in a community that's already proven. If you've toured the finished homes and love the area but want to put your own stamp on it, this is the path.

Reach out and I'll walk you through the available lots, builder options, and what the build process looks like.

The Details That Tie It All Together

Every home here is built by Lance Rigby Construction, sits within the Crimson Cliffs school boundaries (Horizon Elementary, Crimson Cliffs Middle, Crimson Cliffs High), and carries a low $100/year HOA. They all deliver the designer finishes, quality construction, and valley views that define The Heights.
