Homes Under $300,000 in Ticaboo, Utah
Ticaboo is one of the most unusual addresses in Utah real estate. Built in the late 1970s as a company town for uranium mining and now sustained largely by Lake Powell tourism, it sits on Highway 276 in Garfield County about 15 minutes north of Bullfrog Marina. Population hovers in the low double digits year-round, the closest grocery store is 50 miles away in Hanksville, and the nearest hospital is in Richfield — roughly two and a half hours by car. For buyers willing to trade convenience for solitude, red-rock scenery, and quick boat access to Lake Powell, that isolation is the point.
Properties priced under $300K in Ticaboo are rare but they do surface — typically modest single-family homes, manufactured homes on acreage, or older cabins originally built for mine workers. At this price point, expect to do homework on water source, septic, propane, and internet options before writing an offer, since rural utility setups vary parcel to parcel. Most lenders treat Ticaboo as a remote rural market, so cash offers and seller financing are common. Climate here is high-desert: hot dry summers, mild winters, very little snow, and almost no humidity. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently available in the under-$300K range, and reach out if you want help vetting a specific property's utilities, access, or financing path.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Ticaboo.
Where exactly is Ticaboo and what's there? ▾
Ticaboo sits along Highway 276 in Garfield County, roughly 12 miles north of Bullfrog Marina on Lake Powell. It's an unincorporated outpost with a lodge, a small store, a gas station, and a handful of homes — built originally to support uranium mining in the 1970s. The nearest full-service town is Hanksville, about 50 miles north.
What kind of homes show up under $300K in Ticaboo? ▾
Inventory is thin and turns over slowly. When something does come on the market under $300K, it's usually a modest single-family home, a manufactured home on land, or occasionally a cabin-style property tied to Lake Powell recreation. Lot sizes can be generous given how remote the area is.
Can I get financing on a home in Ticaboo? ▾
Conventional financing can be tricky here because of the remote location, limited comparable sales, and the prevalence of manufactured homes. Many transactions end up cash or seller-financed. Talk to a lender familiar with rural Utah before assuming a standard 30-year mortgage will pencil out.
Is Ticaboo a year-round community or mostly seasonal? ▾
Both. A small year-round population keeps services running, but the area swells with Lake Powell visitors from spring through fall. Summers are hot (high desert, often 95-105°F), winters are mild compared to northern Utah, and snow is rare at this elevation.
What about utilities, internet, and water? ▾
Properties typically rely on community or private water systems, septic, and propane. Cell service is spotty, and internet usually means satellite or fixed wireless. Verify utility setup on any specific listing — what works for one parcel may not apply next door.
How close is Lake Powell access from a Ticaboo home? ▾
Bullfrog Marina — with boat ramps, slips, and the ferry to Halls Crossing — is about a 15-20 minute drive south on Highway 276. That proximity is the main draw for most buyers looking at property in Ticaboo at any price point.
