Homes Under $300,000 in La Sal, Utah
La Sal sits in southeastern Utah's San Juan County, tucked between the La Sal Mountains and the red rock country south of Moab. It's high desert ranch land — elevation around 7,000 feet, cold winters with real snow, mild summers, and night skies dark enough to see the Milky Way without trying. Under $300K in this corner of the state typically gets you a manufactured or older site-built home on acreage, a fixer cabin, or the occasional small ranch parcel with a modest structure. Buyers here are usually people who want land, distance from neighbors, and proximity to public lands rather than a polished subdivision lot. Moab is about 35 miles north for groceries, hospital access, and the regional airport, while Monticello sits roughly 25 miles south.
At this price point, expect to do some homework on water (wells and cisterns are common), septic systems, road access in winter, and power — some properties run on solar or have long service extensions. Internet is increasingly workable thanks to Starlink, which has changed what remote work looks like out here. Inventory is thin: La Sal usually has only a handful of active listings at any given time, so anything well-priced under $300K tends to move when it hits the market. Hunters, off-grid hopefuls, retirees stretching a budget, and folks priced out of Moab all shop this same pool. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market in La Sal.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in La Sal.
What does under $300K actually buy in La Sal? ▾
Typically a manufactured home on 1-5 acres, an older site-built ranch house needing updates, or a small cabin on a larger parcel. Newer construction at this price point is rare because building costs out here run high once you factor in well drilling, septic, and power runs.
Are there many homes for sale in La Sal at any given time? ▾
No. La Sal is a small unincorporated community in San Juan County, and the active listing count is usually in the single digits. Inventory under $300K is even thinner, so buyers often set up MLS alerts and move quickly when something hits the market.
Will I need a well and septic on a La Sal property? ▾
Almost certainly. There's no municipal water or sewer in La Sal — homes rely on private wells, shared water systems, or hauled water, plus septic tanks. Always review the well log, water rights, and septic inspection during due diligence.
Can I get a conventional mortgage on a manufactured home here? ▾
Sometimes, but it depends on the home's age, foundation type, and whether it's been de-titled as real property. Pre-HUD (pre-1976) manufactured homes generally won't qualify for conventional or FHA financing, so many sub-$300K deals in La Sal end up being cash or seller-financed.
How far is La Sal from Moab and the airport? ▾
La Sal is roughly 35 miles south of Moab on Highway 191 — about a 45-minute drive. Canyonlands Regional Airport (CNY) north of Moab handles regional flights, and Grand Junction, Colorado is about 2 hours northeast for larger commercial service.
What's the climate like at La Sal's elevation? ▾
La Sal sits near 7,000 feet, so expect cold, snowy winters with overnight lows well below freezing and mild summers in the 80s — much cooler than Moab's triple-digit heat. Plan on plowing your own driveway and heating with propane or wood for several months a year.
