3 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Homes for Sale in Big Water, Utah
Big Water sits in the far southern tip of Kane County, about 15 minutes north of Page, Arizona and a short drive from Wahweap Marina on Lake Powell. The town is small — a few hundred residents on a grid of streets carved out of red rock and sage flats — and the housing stock reflects that: a mix of manufactured homes, modest site-built ranchers, and a growing number of properties bought up as Lake Powell vacation rentals. Three-bedroom, two-bath homes are the workhorse layout here, big enough for a family or a rental that sleeps six to eight, small enough to stay affordable in a market where buyers are often paying cash or financing a second home.
The appeal of a 3/2 in Big Water comes down to location and price. You are roughly two and a half hours from St. George, five hours from Salt Lake, and minutes from some of the most-photographed slot canyons and reservoir water in the Southwest. Summers run hot — triple digits are normal in July — so AC, shaded patios, and xeric landscaping matter more than they would up north. Inventory is thin, listings can sit longer than in Wasatch Front cities, and price-per-square-foot varies wildly depending on whether a home has been updated for STR use.

Common questions
About 3 bed 2 bath homes in Big Water.
How many 3 bed, 2 bath homes are typically for sale in Big Water? ▾
Big Water is a town of roughly 500 people, so the active MLS inventory is small — often just a handful of listings at any given time, and sometimes zero in the 3/2 configuration specifically. New listings can sit for months given the remote location, which gives buyers time to think rather than the rushed pace of Wasatch Front markets.
What do 3/2 homes in Big Water generally cost? ▾
Pricing varies widely depending on lot size, age, and whether the home has been updated for short-term rental use. Modest manufactured and site-built 3/2 homes have historically traded well below typical Utah prices, while updated homes marketed to Lake Powell visitors can push significantly higher. Check the active listings below for current asking prices.
Are these homes on city water and sewer? ▾
Big Water has a municipal water system, and most homes in town are connected rather than relying on wells. Sewer service is also available within town limits. Confirm utility connections on any specific listing, since a few outlying parcels operate on septic.
Can I use a 3/2 in Big Water as a short-term rental for Lake Powell visitors? ▾
Yes — Big Water sits about 20 minutes from Wahweap Marina and is one of the closer Utah-side bases for Lake Powell trips, so vacation rental use is common. Kane County and the town have their own permitting rules, so verify current STR requirements before assuming income projections.
What's the commute or drive time to bigger towns? ▾
Page, Arizona is about 15 minutes south for groceries, the hospital, and the regional airport. Kanab is roughly an hour northwest, and St. George is about two and a half hours. There is no nearby commuter market, so most buyers are retirees, remote workers, or second-home owners.
What should I know about the climate before buying here? ▾
Big Water sits at around 4,100 feet on the edge of the Glen Canyon region — high desert with hot summers (regularly over 100°F in July), mild winters, and very little snow. HVAC capacity and shade matter more than snow load. Landscaping is xeric by necessity given low rainfall.
