Single Story Homes for Sale in Ticaboo, Utah
Ticaboo sits about 50 miles south of Hanksville on Highway 276, roughly 10 miles from the Bullfrog Marina on Lake Powell. It's a tiny, remote outpost in Garfield County built originally to support uranium mining and now leaning on Lake Powell tourism, houseboat traffic, and a handful of full-time residents. Single-story homes make practical sense out here for the same reasons they do across rural southern Utah: easier to build and maintain on rocky desert ground, simpler to cool through 95°F-plus summers, and friendlier to retirees, weekenders, and lake-goers who don't want to haul gear up a staircase after a long day on the water.
Inventory in Ticaboo is thin in any given month — we're talking a community measured in dozens of properties, not hundreds — so when a rambler or ranch-style house does hit the market, it tends to move based on its proximity to the marina, well and septic condition, and whether it's set up for off-grid or seasonal use. Buyers should expect smaller square footage than Wasatch Front comps, longer drives to full-service grocery (Hanksville or Blanding), and a lifestyle built around red rock, dark skies, and Lake Powell access rather than schools or commuting. If a single-level floor plan near Bullfrog is what you're after, browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About single story homes in Ticaboo.
Why are single-story homes common in Ticaboo? ▾
The area's hot summers, rocky terrain, and older mining-era housing stock favor low-slung ranch and manufactured layouts. Single levels are cheaper to cool, easier to maintain on remote lots, and a better fit for the retirees and seasonal lake users who make up much of the buyer pool.
How many single-story listings does Ticaboo typically have? ▾
Very few — Ticaboo is one of the smallest communities in Utah, so it's normal to see only a handful of active listings at a time, and sometimes none. If nothing shows below, it's worth saving the search so you get notified when something new comes on the MLS.
Are most of these homes on well and septic? ▾
Yes. Ticaboo is off the standard municipal grid, so expect private wells, septic systems, and propane rather than natural gas. Inspections on well flow, water quality, and septic condition matter more here than in town markets like St. George or Cedar City.
What's the closest town for groceries, fuel, and services? ▾
Hanksville is about 50 miles north and Blanding is roughly 100 miles east. Bullfrog Marina has seasonal fuel, a small store, and a clinic during peak months. Most full-time residents stock up on monthly trips rather than weekly runs.
Can these homes be used as short-term rentals for Lake Powell visitors? ▾
Garfield County's rules are more permissive than Wasatch Front cities, and several Ticaboo properties have operated as vacation rentals for boaters and houseboat groups. Confirm current county and any HOA rules before purchasing, since regulations can shift season to season.
How do prices compare to other Lake Powell-adjacent markets? ▾
Ticaboo generally prices below Page, Arizona and below the Big Water/Greenhalgh side of Lake Powell because of its remoteness and smaller services footprint. That same isolation is what keeps it attractive to buyers who want quiet red-rock living without resort-town pricing.
