New Listings in Hanksville, Utah
Hanksville sits at the crossroads of Highways 24 and 95 in Wayne County, a tiny high-desert outpost of around 200 people surrounded by some of the most dramatic public land in the country. Capitol Reef National Park is 45 minutes west, Goblin Valley State Park is 20 minutes north, Lake Powell's Bullfrog Marina is an hour south, and the Henry Mountains rise to over 11,000 feet just east of town. Inventory here is thin — Hanksville may go weeks without a new MLS listing — so tracking new arrivals as they hit the market is how most buyers actually land a property. When something does come up, it's usually a small ranch parcel, a manufactured home on acreage, a roadside commercial-residential lot, or occasionally a stick-built home in town.
Buyers watching new Hanksville listings tend to fall into a few camps: off-grid and self-sufficiency types drawn to the wide-open BLM-adjacent acreage, short-term rental investors targeting the Capitol Reef and Lake Powell tourism corridor, and retirees or remote workers wanting quiet, dark skies, and low property taxes. Wayne County property taxes run well below the Wasatch Front, but utilities and services are limited — many properties rely on wells, septic, propane, and satellite internet, and Starlink has been a game-changer for connectivity out here. Check the new listings below as they're posted, and set up an alert if you want to be notified the moment something fresh comes on.

Common questions
About new listings in Hanksville.
How often do new homes come on the market in Hanksville? ▾
Not often. Hanksville is one of the smallest incorporated towns in Utah, and the MLS may show only a handful of new listings per year. When a property does list, it tends to move quickly if it's priced reasonably, especially anything with acreage or short-term rental potential near the Capitol Reef corridor.
What types of properties typically show up as new Hanksville listings? ▾
Most new arrivals are land parcels ranging from a few acres to several hundred, manufactured or modular homes on rural lots, and the occasional in-town residence or mixed-use commercial-residential property along Highway 24. True custom stick-built homes are rare and usually carry a premium.
Are new Hanksville listings usually on city water and sewer, or off-grid? ▾
The town center has culinary water through the Hanksville Water Conservancy District, but most properties outside the main grid rely on private wells and septic systems. Power is available through Garkane Energy in many areas, while truly remote parcels often run on solar with propane backup.
Can I use a new Hanksville listing as a short-term rental? ▾
Wayne County is relatively friendly to short-term rentals compared to many Utah jurisdictions, and Hanksville sees steady tourist traffic from Capitol Reef, Lake Powell, Goblin Valley, and the Henry Mountains. Always confirm current county and town rules with the planning office before closing, since regulations can shift.
What price range should I expect on new Hanksville listings? ▾
Raw land parcels often start in the $20,000–$80,000 range depending on access and utilities, while homes on acreage typically run from the low $200,000s into the $500,000s for larger or income-producing properties. Anything with established short-term rental history tends to price higher.
How can I get notified the moment a new Hanksville property hits the MLS? ▾
