Single Story Homes for Sale in Hanksville, Utah
Hanksville is a small Wayne County town tucked at the junction of UT-24 and UT-95, surrounded by red rock country and within an hour of Capitol Reef, the Henry Mountains, and Lake Powell's north end. The housing here reflects the landscape and the lifestyle: flat lots, big sky, and homes built close to the ground. Single-level ramblers, manufactured homes on acreage, and modest stick-built ranches make up most of what trades hands in town. With a population of only a couple hundred and elevations around 4,300 feet, buyers come here for space, dark skies, river-bottom irrigation, and a base camp for southern Utah recreation — not for dense subdivisions.
One-level living makes practical sense in Hanksville. Summers run hot and dry, winters are mild compared to the Wasatch, and a single-story footprint with a decent shop or carport handles the climate and the toys most owners keep out here — side-by-sides, boats, trailers, and the occasional horse setup. Inventory is thin and prices vary widely based on lot size, water shares, and outbuildings rather than square footage alone, so it pays to look at each property on its own terms. Wayne County zoning is generally relaxed, HOAs are rare, and many parcels include room for a second structure or guest casita.

Common questions
About single story homes in Hanksville.
Why are single story homes so common in Hanksville? ▾
Hanksville is a small high-desert town of roughly 200 residents, and most of the housing stock was built as practical ranch-style or modular homes suited to the flat valley floor along the Fremont River. Land is relatively inexpensive and lots are large, so there was never much pressure to build up. Expect mostly one-level ramblers, manufactured homes on acreage, and the occasional newer custom build.
What's the typical price range for a single-level home in Hanksville? ▾
Prices swing widely because inventory is thin and lot size drives value as much as the house itself. Smaller homes on standard lots have historically traded in the low-to-mid $200s, while properties with multiple acres, outbuildings, or water shares can reach $400K and up. Check the active listings below for current numbers since the Hanksville market often has only a handful of homes for sale at any given time.
Is single-level living practical for the climate out here? ▾
Yes — Hanksville sits at about 4,300 feet with hot, dry summers (regularly over 100°F in July) and cold but generally low-snow winters. A single-story footprint with good insulation and a swamp cooler or heat pump handles the climate well, and you avoid hauling groceries upstairs after a long drive from Green River or Richfield.
Do most one-level homes here sit on acreage? ▾
A lot of them do. Hanksville's lots tend to run larger than what you'd see on the Wasatch Front, and it's common to see ramblers on half an acre to several acres, sometimes with irrigation rights, horse setups, or detached shops. If you want a small in-town lot, those exist too but show up less often.
How far is Hanksville from services and major towns? ▾
Hanksville is genuinely remote. Green River is about 60 miles north on UT-24, Richfield is roughly 100 miles west, and Salt Lake City is around a four-hour drive. Capitol Reef National Park is 40 minutes west, and Lake Powell's Bullfrog Marina is about an hour south. Buyers should be comfortable with long grocery runs and limited medical services.
Are there HOAs or strict building rules on these properties? ▾
Most Hanksville properties are not under an HOA, which is part of the appeal for buyers who want shops, RVs, livestock, or short-term rental flexibility. Wayne County zoning still applies, and anything involving water rights, septic, or new construction is worth verifying with the county before you write an offer.
