3 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Homes for Sale in Manila, Utah
Manila sits at the north end of Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Daggett County, Utah's least populated county and a world apart from the Wasatch Front in both pace and price. Most of the housing stock here serves two kinds of owners: full-time Daggett County residents working for the school district, the Forest Service, or the handful of local businesses, and second-home buyers who want a base camp near the marina, the dam, and the trout water below it. A 3 bed 2 bath layout is the sweet spot for both groups — enough room for a family or for a group of anglers and hunters, without the upkeep of something larger on a lot that may not have municipal water or sewer. Many of these homes sit on a quarter acre or more, some with detached shops or room to park a boat and a trailer side by side.
Because Manila's total housing inventory is small, a 3 bed 2 bath house can mean a 1980s single-level rambler in town, a newer manufactured home on a foundation, or a log-sided cabin a few miles out toward the reservoir. Winters bring real snow load and sub-zero nights, so buyers should expect to see propane heat, wood stoves as backup, and well-insulated construction rather than the swamp coolers common further south. Lot size and well/septic condition matter more here than in a city with municipal utilities, so budget time to review those details on any listing that catches your eye.

Common questions
About 3 bed 2 bath homes in Manila.
How many 3 bed 2 bath homes are usually for sale in Manila at one time? ▾
Manila is a very small market, so it's common to see only a handful of active listings across all home types. Three-bed, two-bath homes specifically might range from one or two up to maybe a dozen depending on the season. Spring and early summer typically bring the most new listings as sellers target the Flaming Gorge tourist season.
What do 3 bed 2 bath homes in Manila typically cost? ▾
Most three-bedroom, two-bath homes in Manila sell in the $250,000 to $450,000 range. Manufactured homes on smaller lots come in lower, while site-built homes with a view of Flaming Gorge, a shop, or several acres push toward the top of that range or higher.
Are these homes on city water and sewer or well and septic? ▾
Inside the town of Manila proper, many properties are on the municipal water system, but septic is common throughout the area. Homes on larger parcels outside town are almost always on a private well and septic. Always confirm during due diligence and ask for recent septic inspection records.
Can I get a conventional mortgage on a Manila home? ▾
Yes for most site-built homes on a permanent foundation. Manufactured homes built before June 1976 generally won't qualify for conventional or FHA financing, and some lenders are cautious about rural Daggett County appraisals because comparable sales are limited. Working with a lender experienced in rural Utah properties saves headaches.
Is Manila a year-round community or mostly seasonal? ▾
It's both. There's a permanent population of full-time residents, a K-12 school, and basic services, but the town doubles or triples in summer with reservoir visitors. Winters are quiet, cold, and snowy — something to consider if you're buying for full-time living versus a summer cabin.
How far is Manila from the nearest larger town or airport? ▾
Vernal is about an hour south via US-191 over Carter Creek summit, and that's where you'll find the closest hospital, big-box stores, and regional airport. Rock Springs, Wyoming is roughly an hour and twenty minutes north. Salt Lake City is around four hours by car.
