Homes Under $500,000 in Ticaboo, Utah
Ticaboo is one of the smallest and most remote communities in Utah, tucked along Highway 276 in Garfield County between the Henry Mountains and Lake Powell. The townsite was built in the 1970s to support uranium mining and now functions mostly as a service stop for Bullfrog Marina visitors about 12 miles south. Buyers looking under $500K here are usually after one of three things: a Lake Powell weekend base without Page, Arizona prices; a quiet desert retreat with dark skies and red rock in every direction; or a small primary residence tied to seasonal marina and tourism work. The trade-off is real isolation — the nearest full-service grocery store is in Hanksville, and Salt Lake City is roughly a six-hour drive.
At this price point in Ticaboo, expect modest single-family homes, manufactured homes on acreage, and the occasional residential lot with utilities already stubbed. Because total inventory in the area is so thin, listings move on their own timetable rather than following Wasatch Front market rhythms, and pricing reflects the unique mix of remoteness and lake proximity rather than typical Utah comps. Climate is high desert: hot summers, mild winters, and very little rain, which keeps maintenance costs predictable. Water rights, septic, and propane setups all deserve a careful look during due diligence. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market under $500K in Ticaboo.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Ticaboo.
Where exactly is Ticaboo and what's the vibe? ▾
Ticaboo sits in Garfield County off Highway 276, about 12 miles north of Bullfrog Marina on Lake Powell and roughly 50 miles south of Hanksville. It's a tiny unincorporated outpost built around the old uranium-mining era, now serving Lake Powell visitors, boaters, and a small year-round population. Expect remote desert living with red rock canyon country in every direction.
What kind of homes show up under $500K in Ticaboo? ▾
Inventory here is thin and irregular. When properties do hit the market under $500K, they're typically modest single-family homes, manufactured homes on acreage, or older units tied to the original townsite. Raw land parcels near Lake Powell access also fall in this range. Anything coming up is worth a close look because months can pass between listings.
What utilities and services should I expect? ▾
Ticaboo has its own small water and power infrastructure dating back to its mining-town origins, but services are limited compared to a Wasatch Front suburb. Internet is usually satellite or fixed wireless, cell coverage is spotty, and the nearest full grocery store and hospital are in Hanksville or further toward Richfield. Buyers should budget for self-sufficiency.
How far is it to Lake Powell from Ticaboo? ▾
Bullfrog Marina is about a 15-minute drive south on UT-276, which is the main draw for buyers here. You get lake access, houseboat rentals, and the Halls Crossing ferry without paying Page, Arizona prices. That proximity is the single biggest factor supporting property values in the area.
Is financing a home in Ticaboo straightforward? ▾
It can be tricky. Many remote Garfield County properties are manufactured homes, on large parcels, or have unique water/septic setups that conventional lenders scrutinize closely. Cash buyers and portfolio lenders tend to move faster here than buyers using standard 30-year conventional loans. Get pre-approved with a lender experienced in rural Utah before writing offers.
How often do homes under $500K actually come up here? ▾
Rarely. Ticaboo may see only a handful of residential transactions in any given year, and not all of them hit the open MLS. Setting up saved-search alerts and checking back regularly is the realistic way to catch one. The listings shown below reflect what's currently active.
