Townhomes for Sale in Big Water, Utah
Big Water sits at the far southern edge of Kane County, about five miles north of the Arizona line and a quick drive from Lake Powell's Wahweap Marina. The town has fewer than 500 full-time residents, an elevation around 4,100 feet, and a desert climate that runs hot in summer and mild in winter — closer in feel to Page, Arizona than to anywhere on the Wasatch Front. Because the town is small and built on wide-open parcels, the housing inventory leans heavily toward single-family homes on large lots, manufactured homes, and the occasional cabin or off-grid setup. True townhome product is rare here.
That said, buyers searching for attached or low-maintenance housing in Big Water are usually after the same thing: a lock-and-leave base near Lake Powell, slot canyons like Wiregrass and Cathedral, and the Glen Canyon recreation area, without the upkeep of a desert yard. When townhome-style listings do hit the MLS in the 84741 ZIP, they tend to move quickly to second-home buyers from Salt Lake, Las Vegas, and the Phoenix corridor. If the results below are empty, it simply reflects current MLS inventory — not a glitch. It's worth saving this search so new listings ping you the moment something attached comes on market, and the active listings below show what's available right now.

Common questions
About townhomes for sale in Big Water.
Are there many townhomes in Big Water? ▾
No. Big Water is a small town of roughly 500 residents, and the housing stock is dominated by single-family homes, manufactured homes on larger lots, and a handful of cabins. Townhome and condo inventory is extremely thin, and months can pass without an active listing. If nothing shows below, it means the MLS has no current townhome listings in the 84741 ZIP.
Why are townhomes so rare here? ▾
Big Water sits on open BLM-adjacent land with cheap, plentiful acreage, so builders historically had no reason to stack units. There's also no HOA-heavy resort development like you'd see in Ivins or Washington. Most multi-unit product in the Lake Powell corridor is built in Page, Arizona instead, about 20 minutes south on US-89.
What should I look at if no townhomes are listed? ▾
Buyers chasing a low-maintenance Lake Powell base often expand the search to Page, AZ condos (Lake Powell Resort area, Greenehaven), or look at smaller single-family homes in Big Water itself, which still trade well under typical Utah prices. Short-term rental rules differ sharply between Big Water and Page, so factor that in if you plan to rent.
Is Big Water a good fit for a lock-and-leave second home? ▾
It can be, but with caveats. Summers run hot (95-105°F in July), winters are mild, and the town is remote — closest full grocery is in Page. There's no municipal natural gas, so most homes use propane and electric. A townhome-style property would suit weekenders chasing Lone Rock Beach, Wahweap, and slot canyon access without yard upkeep.
What price range would a Big Water townhome likely hit? ▾
When they do appear, attached or small-footprint properties in Big Water generally list in the $200K-$350K range, well below Washington County averages. Comparable condos across the state line in Page tend to run $250K-$450K because of stronger rental demand and proximity to the marina.
Can I short-term rent a townhome in Big Water? ▾
Big Water has historically been friendlier to nightly rentals than most Utah municipalities, but rules evolve — verify current town ordinances and any HOA restrictions before you write an offer. If STR income is part of your plan, get the rental status in writing during due diligence.
