No HOA Homes for Sale in Manila, Utah
Manila sits at the north end of Flaming Gorge Reservoir, tucked against the Uinta Mountains in Daggett County — Utah's least populated county. With a year-round population of a few hundred and most of the surrounding land managed by the Ashley National Forest, the town never developed the dense subdivisions that produce homeowner associations. That means the vast majority of homes for sale here come with no HOA, no monthly dues, and no architectural review board telling you what color to paint the trim or where to park the boat trailer. For buyers who want a recreation base camp near the reservoir or a quiet primary residence without rules attached, Manila is one of the most HOA-free markets in the state.
What you trade for that freedom is self-reliance. Many properties run on well and septic rather than municipal services, road maintenance on outlying parcels is often handled by owners, and winter access at 6,400 feet means you'll want a plow plan before the first storm. On the upside, lots tend to be larger than what you'd see along the Wasatch Front, prices are a fraction of Park City or Heber, and the Green River, Sheep Creek, and the Gorge itself are minutes from most front doors. Buyers usually fall into two camps: anglers and boaters wanting a cabin within walking distance of the marina, and retirees looking for quiet acreage with mountain views.

Common questions
About no hoa homes in Manila.
Why are no-HOA homes so common in Manila? ▾
Manila is a small unincorporated town of roughly 300 residents in Daggett County, and most of the housing stock predates the HOA era. Lots tend to be larger, properties are spread out along the Flaming Gorge corridor, and county zoning handles what an HOA might elsewhere. Outside of a few specific subdivisions near the reservoir, you simply won't run into homeowner associations here.
Can I park an RV, boat, or trailer on a no-HOA property in Manila? ▾
Yes, and that's a big reason buyers look here. With Flaming Gorge Reservoir minutes away, most owners keep boats, side-by-sides, and travel trailers on their own lots. Daggett County setback rules still apply, but there's no association telling you where the boat has to live.
Are short-term rentals allowed on no-HOA homes in Manila? ▾
Daggett County permits short-term rentals in many areas, and without an HOA layer on top, owners have more flexibility than in places like Park City or St. George. You'll still need to follow county licensing and lodging tax rules, and verify zoning on the specific parcel before counting on rental income.
What should I check on a Manila property if there's no HOA to maintain things? ▾
Roads, water, and septic are the big three. Some properties are on private wells and septic systems rather than the Manila town water supply, and a few sit on shared dirt roads with informal maintenance agreements. Ask for well logs, septic inspection records, and any road-maintenance paperwork during due diligence.
How does winter affect no-HOA homes out here? ▾
Manila sits at about 6,400 feet on the north slope of the Uintas, so winters bring real snow and cold nights. Without an HOA plowing common areas, you're responsible for your own driveway and any shared access. Most full-time residents own a plow truck or tractor; second-home owners often hire a local for the season.
What's the price range for no-HOA homes in Manila right now? ▾
Inventory is thin given the town's size, but homes generally run from the mid $200s for older cabins and modest single-family places up past $700K for larger lakefront-adjacent properties with acreage. Active count fluctuates week to week — the listings below show what's currently on the market.
