Investment Properties for Sale in Hurricane, Utah
Hurricane sits at the south end of Washington County, about 20 minutes east of St. George and 30 minutes from Zion National Park's west entrance. That geography is the whole reason investors pay attention here: the city pulls steady short-term rental demand from Zion visitors, snowbird traffic from October through April, and long-term tenants who work in the St. George metro but want lower entry prices than Bloomington or Washington Fields. Hurricane is one of the few Washington County cities that still permits nightly rentals in specific overlay zones — Sky Ranch, Stone Cliff at Sand Hollow, the Coral Canyon STR pockets, and parts of the Sand Hollow Resort area — which is where most out-of-state buyers focus. Outside those zones, the rental play is 30-day minimums or traditional long-term leases.
Pricing ranges widely depending on use case. Entry-level long-term rental houses in older Hurricane neighborhoods still trade in the high $300s to low $500s, while STR-zoned homes near Sand Hollow Reservoir routinely list from the mid $600s up past $1.5M for newer builds with casitas, garages for toy haulers, and pool access. Property taxes on non-primary residences run at the higher 1.0%-ish rate rather than the primary-residence rate, which matters a lot to your pro forma. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market, and check the zoning notes on any property you're serious about before writing an offer.

Common questions
About investment properties in Hurricane.
Which Hurricane neighborhoods allow nightly (short-term) rentals? ▾
Nightly rentals are limited to specific zoned developments — most commonly Sky Ranch, Stone Cliff at Sand Hollow, parts of Coral Canyon, and the Sand Hollow Resort area. Hurricane City does not allow STRs in standard residential zones, so confirm the zoning and HOA rules in writing before closing. The city keeps a current list of approved STR communities, and HOAs in those areas require their own nightly-rental permit.
What kind of returns are STR investors seeing near Sand Hollow? ▾
Performance varies a lot by property, but well-furnished homes with private pools and easy access to Sand Hollow Reservoir typically run 55–70% occupancy annually, with peak nightly rates in March–May and September–October when Zion traffic is heaviest. Newer builds with toy-hauler garages and sleeping capacity for 10+ tend to outperform smaller units. Run your numbers against AirDNA or Rabbu comps for the specific subdivision, not Hurricane as a whole.
Are long-term rentals a better play than STRs in Hurricane? ▾
It depends on your zoning and your capital. Long-term rentals in older Hurricane neighborhoods (north of SR-9, around 100 South) have lower entry prices and steadier tenants — often workers commuting to St. George or Intermountain Healthcare. STRs require a much higher purchase price and furnishing budget but produce 2–3x the gross revenue when they're in the right zone.
How do property taxes work on a non-primary residence in Hurricane? ▾
Utah taxes primary residences at 55% of assessed value, but investment and second homes are taxed at 100% — so the effective rate roughly doubles. Expect annual property taxes around 0.9%–1.1% of market value on an investment property in Washington County. Build that into your pro forma, especially if you're comparing to a state like Arizona or Nevada.
What's the difference between buying near Sand Hollow versus closer to downtown Hurricane? ▾
Sand Hollow-area properties (Sky Ranch, Stone Cliff, the resort) command higher prices and are built for the STR vacation market — pools, casitas, RV bays. Downtown Hurricane and the older grid north of State Street is where long-term rental inventory lives, with smaller lots, 1980s–2000s construction, and tenant pools made up of local workers and families. Different strategies, different buyer profiles.
Can out-of-state buyers manage a Hurricane rental remotely? ▾
Yes, and most do. There's a deep bench of property managers in the St. George/Hurricane area handling both long-term leases and STR turnovers — companies like Utah's Best Vacation Rentals, Sand Hollow Vacation Rentals, and several local LTR managers. STR management fees typically run 20–25% of gross; long-term management runs 8–10%.
