Homes with Casitas & Guest Houses in Richfield, Utah
Richfield sits in the heart of Sevier County, about 160 miles south of Salt Lake and roughly two and a half hours from St. George, which makes it a natural stopping point for extended family visits, hunting groups headed to Fishlake National Forest, and travelers passing through on I-70. That geography is a big reason casitas and detached guest houses show up here more often than in comparable small towns — owners want a private space for parents, grown kids, or seasonal guests without giving up the main house. Lot sizes in and around Richfield also help: many properties on the edges of town, out toward Glenwood, Annabella, and Elsinore, sit on a half-acre to several acres, which leaves room for a true secondary dwelling rather than a converted bedroom.
Buyers shopping casita and guest house properties in Richfield tend to fall into a few camps: multi-generational families looking for separate living quarters under one deed, owners who rent the secondary unit to traveling nurses at Sevier Valley Hospital or to Snow College South employees, and second-home owners who want a caretaker's quarters while they're away. Sevier County's zoning is generally friendly to accessory dwellings on agricultural and larger residential parcels, but rules tighten inside Richfield city limits, so the specifics of each listing matter. Browse the active listings below to see which homes currently have a finished casita, mother-in-law suite, or detached guest house on the property.

Common questions
About homes with casitas & guest houses in Richfield.
What's the difference between a casita and a guest house in Richfield listings? ▾
In local MLS usage, a casita is usually a smaller attached or semi-attached unit — think a bedroom and bath with a private entrance, sometimes a kitchenette. A guest house is typically a fully detached structure with its own kitchen, bath, and living area. Both show up in Richfield, but detached guest houses are more common on the larger parcels outside the city core.
Can I legally rent out the casita or guest house as a short-term rental? ▾
It depends on where the property sits. Richfield city has restrictions on short-term rentals in residential zones, while unincorporated Sevier County is generally more permissive on ag and large-lot parcels. Always verify with the city or county planning office before assuming Airbnb income — long-term rentals to hospital or college staff are a safer bet in most areas.
Do guest houses in Richfield usually have separate utilities? ▾
It varies widely. Older guest houses on farm properties often share a well, septic, and power meter with the main home. Newer builds or recently permitted ADUs are more likely to have separate electric meters and sometimes separate culinary water taps. Check the listing remarks and the seller disclosure for utility setup before writing an offer.
What price range should I expect for a Richfield home with a guest house? ▾
Most homes with a functional casita or detached guest house in the Richfield area run from the upper $400s into the $700s, depending on acreage, age of the secondary structure, and whether outbuildings or water shares are included. Properties with permitted, fully separate ADUs on multiple acres can push higher.
Are the secondary units permitted, or are some unpermitted conversions? ▾
Both exist in this market. Some guest houses were built decades ago as legitimate second dwellings on farm property, while others started as shops or barns and were finished out informally. Ask for permit history during due diligence — an unpermitted unit can still be valuable, but it affects appraisal, insurance, and your ability to rent it.
How many casita and guest house properties are typically on the market in Richfield? ▾
Inventory is thin. Richfield is a small market overall, and homes with true secondary dwellings make up only a small slice of active listings — often just a handful at any given time. The active list below reflects what's currently available; if nothing fits, it's worth saving a search since these come and go quickly.
