Homes Under $300,000 in Brian Head, Utah
Brian Head sits at roughly 9,800 feet, making it the highest incorporated town in Utah, and that elevation shapes what homes under $300K look like here. Most of the inventory is condos and townhomes near the Brian Head Resort lifts, along with older cabins and a few small single-family homes on the town's side streets. Many are compact one- or two-bedroom units, and some are sold furnished, which matters if you plan to use the place as a ski-season base. Cedar City is about 30 minutes down Highway 143, and Cedar Breaks National Monument is a short drive from town. Las Vegas is roughly three hours away, so Brian Head draws a lot of Nevada and Southern California buyers.
Buyers in this range should look closely at HOA dues, which often cover snow removal, water, and building maintenance, and at whether the nightly rental is allowed. Winters bring heavy snow and long stretches below freezing, while summers stay in the 70s, which is a real break from St. George heat. Roof condition, heating type, and road access in winter deserve a hard look on cabins. Financing can be different for second homes and condos, so check lender requirements early.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Brian Head.
What kind of property does $300K actually buy in Brian Head? ▾
At this price point, expect a studio or one-bedroom condo, typically between 400 and 700 square feet, in a complex like Cedar Breaks Lodge, Grand Lodge, or one of the older Aspen-style buildings near the lifts. Detached cabins almost never fall under $300K in Brian Head. Many of these units come furnished and are already set up as short-term rentals.
Can I use a sub-$300K Brian Head condo as a short-term rental? ▾
Yes, Brian Head is one of the few Utah mountain towns where nightly rentals are broadly permitted, and most condos in this price range sit in HOAs that allow them. Some buildings have on-site rental management. Check the HOA docs for any minimum-stay rules and confirm the town's current STR registration requirements before closing.
How high are HOA dues on these smaller condos? ▾
HOA fees in Brian Head are heavier than most Utah buyers expect, often $400 to $700 per month for condos under $300K. Dues usually cover heat, water, sewer, trash, snow removal, exterior maintenance, and sometimes cable or internet. That's a big reason units stay affordable up front — the building handles the brutal snow load and heating costs.
Is financing tricky on a condo this small or this cheap? ▾
It can be. Many lenders require a minimum square footage (often 500 sq ft) and a condo project warrant, and non-warrantable buildings with heavy rental concentration may push you into a portfolio or second-home loan with 20-25% down. Working with a lender who has closed deals in Brian Head specifically will save headaches.
What are property taxes like on a $300K Brian Head condo? ▾
If the unit is a second home or rental (which most are), it's taxed at the non-primary rate, roughly 1.0-1.15% of assessed value in Iron County. Budget around $2,500 to $3,500 per year. Only owners who actually live there full-time qualify for the primary residence exemption that cuts the taxable value by 45%.
How is the inventory under $300K right now? ▾
It fluctuates with the ski season — listings tend to thin out in late fall when buyers want to be in before winter, and loosen up in spring. On a typical week you'll see anywhere from a handful to a dozen active condos under $300K. Browse the current listings below to see what's on the market today.
