3 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Homes for Sale in Brian Head, Utah
Brian Head is Utah's highest-elevation town, sitting at roughly 9,800 feet on the rim of the Markagunt Plateau in Iron County. A three-bedroom, two-bath property here almost always means one of two things: a chalet-style cabin tucked into the pines off Hunter Ridge or Aspen Drive, or a condo unit inside buildings like Cedar Breaks Lodge, Steam Engine, or Grand Lodge. The 3/2 footprint is the sweet spot for this market because it sleeps a family plus guests, qualifies for most nightly-rental programs, and stays manageable when you're paying to heat a mountain home through 360 inches of annual snowfall.
Buyer profiles skew toward Las Vegas and St. George owners chasing summer temperatures that rarely break 75°F, Wasatch Front families who want a ski cabin without Park City pricing, and investors running short-term rentals through the Brian Head Resort traffic. Brian Head Resort operates two base areas (Giant Steps and Navajo) with lift-served terrain a short shuttle ride from most three-bedroom listings, and Cedar Breaks National Monument is fifteen minutes up the road. Winter access requires SR-143 plowing and a vehicle that handles steep grades, so factor a garage or covered parking into your search criteria. Browse the active 3 bed 2 bath listings below to see what's currently on the market in town and along the surrounding mountain roads.

Common questions
About 3 bed 2 bath homes in Brian Head.
Are most 3 bed 2 bath homes in Brian Head primary residences or vacation rentals? ▾
The large majority are second homes or short-term rentals. Brian Head's full-time population is under 100 residents, and most three-bedroom properties trade hands as ski cabins, nightly rental investments, or summer escapes from St. George and Las Vegas heat.
What price range should I expect for a 3/2 in Brian Head? ▾
Three-bed, two-bath cabins and condos typically run from the mid $400Ks for older condo units in Cedar Breaks Lodge or Giant Steps area up to $900K+ for detached cabins with garages and ski-in/ski-out access. Condition, HOA, and proximity to the lifts drive most of the price spread.
Does Brian Head allow short-term rentals in 3/2 homes? ▾
Yes. Brian Head is one of the few Utah municipalities that broadly permits nightly rentals, which is why so many 3-bed properties are bought as income producers. Confirm any HOA-specific rules before writing an offer, since some buildings cap rental frequency.
What's the elevation and snow situation I'm buying into? ▾
Brian Head sits at roughly 9,800 feet, the highest base elevation of any Utah ski town. Annual snowfall averages around 360 inches, so a 3/2 here needs a steep roof, heat tape, and a serious plan for snow removal from October through April.
Are these homes on well and septic or city utilities? ▾
Most properties inside town limits are on municipal water and sewer. A handful of cabins on the outskirts toward Mammoth Creek or Panguitch Lake run on well and septic, which matters for winter freeze protection and lender requirements.
How far is Brian Head from a major airport? ▾
Cedar City Regional is about 35 minutes down SR-143 and handles daily Delta flights to SLC. Las Vegas Harry Reid is roughly 3 hours south, and Salt Lake International is about 3.5 hours north, which is why many owners drive in rather than fly.
