3 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Homes for Sale in Hanksville, Utah
Hanksville is a tiny high-desert outpost in Wayne County where the Fremont and Dirty Devil rivers meet, about 45 minutes east of Capitol Reef National Park and an hour north of Lake Powell's Bullfrog Marina. The town's full-time population hovers around 200, so the MLS inventory here is always small — a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in Hanksville is the kind of listing that draws interest from a mix of buyers: families wanting space and dark skies, retirees looking for a low-cost basecamp near red rock country, and investors eyeing short-term rentals tied to park traffic. Summer highs push past 100 degrees, winters are mild and dry, and the sky at night is genuinely dark thanks to almost zero light pollution.
A 3/2 layout tends to be the sweet spot in Hanksville — enough room for a family or guests without the maintenance load of a larger property. Many homes sit on generous lots with room for RVs, side-by-sides, or a workshop, and some come with water shares or irrigation rights tied to the Fremont River system. Buyers should expect well-and-septic systems on rural parcels, propane heat in many cases, and longer drive times to full-service grocery stores in Green River or Richfield. Cell coverage and internet have improved with fixed wireless and Starlink. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market, and reach out when you want to walk one in person.

Common questions
About 3 bed 2 bath homes in Hanksville.
How many 3 bed, 2 bath homes typically come on the market in Hanksville? ▾
Hanksville's population sits around 200 people, so the MLS often shows only a handful of active listings at any given time — sometimes just one or two, sometimes none. When a 3/2 does hit the market, it usually moves quickly because inventory is so thin. Setting up a saved search with instant alerts is the most practical way to catch new listings.
What do 3 bed, 2 bath homes in Hanksville generally cost? ▾
Pricing varies widely depending on lot size, well and septic status, and whether the home sits in town or on acreage along Highway 24. Modest in-town homes have historically traded in the $200Ks to low $300Ks, while properties with land, outbuildings, or short-term rental potential near Capitol Reef can push higher. Your agent can pull recent comps before you write an offer.
Are most homes on city water and sewer or well and septic? ▾
Homes inside Hanksville town limits are typically on the municipal water system, while properties on outlying parcels often rely on private wells and septic tanks. This matters for financing, inspections, and long-term maintenance costs. Always ask for well logs, water rights documentation, and septic records during due diligence.
Is Hanksville a realistic spot for a short-term rental investment? ▾
Yes — Hanksville sits at the crossroads of Capitol Reef National Park, Goblin Valley State Park, Lake Powell, and the Henry Mountains, so it draws steady traveler traffic from spring through fall. A 3 bed, 2 bath layout works well for families and small groups visiting the parks. Check Wayne County and town regulations on nightly rentals before you close.
What's the drive time to the nearest grocery store, hospital, or airport? ▾
Hanksville has a small market and gas stations in town, but full grocery runs usually mean driving to Green River (about 60 miles north) or Richfield (roughly two hours west). The closest hospitals are in Richfield and Moab, and the nearest commercial airport is Canyonlands Regional in Moab, with Salt Lake City International about 4 hours away.
Can I get a conventional mortgage on a Hanksville home? ▾
Conventional, FHA, and USDA Rural Development loans all work in Hanksville, and USDA is worth exploring given the area's rural designation. The bigger hurdles are appraisals — limited comparable sales in such a small market can complicate valuations — and lender comfort with well/septic properties. Working with a lender who has done loans in remote Utah helps.
