Homes Under $300,000 in Manila, Utah
Manila is the seat of Daggett County, tucked up against the Utah-Wyoming line and the south shore of Flaming Gorge Reservoir. It's one of the smallest county seats in the state, and the housing market reflects that — a mix of full-time residences, weekend cabins, and a handful of newer builds aimed at retirees and remote workers who want quiet over convenience. Under $300K in Manila usually means an older single-level home in town, a manufactured home on a larger lot, or a compact cabin within a short drive of the reservoir's marinas and trailheads. Acreage is often more generous than you'd see for the same price on the Wasatch Front, but the trade-off is distance: Vernal is about 40 miles south over Highway 191, and Salt Lake is a four-hour haul.
Buyers shopping this price band tend to fall into two camps — locals who work for the Forest Service, the school district, or in Flaming Gorge tourism, and out-of-area buyers looking for an affordable recreation base near world-class lake trout fishing, the Green River below the dam, and the Uinta high country. Winters are real here (Manila sits above 6,300 feet), so insulation, heat source, and road access matter when evaluating any sub-$300K listing.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Manila.
How many homes under $300K are typically available in Manila? ▾
Manila is a small Daggett County town with roughly 300 residents, so inventory is thin — often just a handful of active listings at any price point. Sub-$300K options tend to be older site-built homes on modest lots, manufactured homes on land, or cabins near Flaming Gorge. Checking back weekly is the realistic way to catch new listings.
What kind of property does $300K buy in Manila? ▾
At this price you're generally looking at 2-3 bedroom homes built between the 1960s and 1990s, manufactured homes on a half-acre to an acre, or smaller cabins used as second homes. Newer construction is rare in town, and lots with established water rights or outbuildings push prices higher quickly.
Is Manila a good area for a second home or short-term rental? ▾
Yes — Manila sits about 6 miles from Flaming Gorge Reservoir, and the area draws anglers, boaters, and hunters year-round. Daggett County has been friendlier to short-term rentals than many Wasatch Front cities, but verify current county rules before buying with STR income in mind.
What should buyers know about utilities and water out here? ▾
Many properties around Manila run on well and septic rather than municipal systems, and propane is common for heating since natural gas service is limited. Confirm water rights, septic condition, and winter access on any rural parcel — Manila sits at roughly 6,400 feet and gets real winter.
How far is Manila from larger towns and services? ▾
Vernal is about 65 miles south and is the closest full-service town with a hospital, big-box stores, and a regional airport. Rock Springs, Wyoming sits about 60 miles north. Salt Lake City is roughly a 4-hour drive, so Manila buyers should be comfortable with remote living.
Can I get a conventional mortgage on lower-priced Manila homes? ▾
Site-built homes usually finance without issue, but manufactured homes need to be on a permanent foundation and titled as real property to qualify for most conventional or FHA loans. Cabins without year-round road access or full utilities sometimes require portfolio or local-bank financing — worth lining up a lender early.
