3 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Homes for Sale in Ophir, Utah
Ophir is one of the smallest incorporated towns in Utah — fewer than 40 year-round residents tucked into a narrow canyon on the east side of the Oquirrh Mountains, about 15 miles south of Tooele off SR-73. The town's history is silver mining, and the housing stock reflects that: a mix of restored 1800s miner cabins, mid-century cabins on small lots, and a handful of newer builds along Ophir Canyon Road. A 3-bedroom, 2-bath home here is on the larger end of what the canyon offers, and most properties at that size sit on lots ranging from a quarter-acre to a few acres, often backing up to Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest land.
Buyers shopping this size in Ophir are usually after one of two things: a primary residence with real elbow room and quiet (the commute to Tooele is about 25 minutes, and SLC is roughly an hour via I-80), or a mountain getaway that still has enough bedrooms for family and guests. Expect well water and septic on most parcels, propane heat, and winter access that occasionally requires a plow. Cell coverage is spotty and there's no town grocery — Stockton and Tooele handle errands. Inventory turns over slowly; in a typical year only a handful of homes change hands in the entire canyon.

Common questions
About 3 bed 2 bath homes in Ophir.
How many 3 bed 2 bath homes are usually for sale in Ophir at one time? ▾
Ophir is tiny — often there are zero to two homes of any size on the market at a given moment, and a 3/2 specifically may not always be available. If nothing is listed today, it's worth saving the search; new listings here tend to move within a few weeks once they hit the MLS.
What do 3 bed 2 bath homes in Ophir typically sell for? ▾
Pricing varies widely based on whether the home is a restored historic cabin, a modern build, or a fixer. Recent sales in the canyon have generally landed in the mid $400s to upper $700s for homes in this size range, with land, condition, and outbuildings driving most of the spread.
Are these homes on city water and sewer? ▾
No. Ophir does not have municipal water or sewer service. Nearly every home runs on a private well (or shared well agreement) and a septic system, so review well logs, water rights, and septic inspection records carefully during due diligence.
What's winter access like in Ophir Canyon? ▾
Ophir Canyon Road is maintained by Tooele County, but storms can still close or slow access for short periods. Most full-time residents keep 4WD or AWD vehicles and a snow blower or plow attachment. Driveways and side roads are the homeowner's responsibility.
Can I use a 3 bed 2 bath home in Ophir as a short-term rental? ▾
Ophir Town is small and has its own ordinances, and Tooele County rules also apply depending on the parcel. Short-term rental allowances change, so confirm current STR rules with the town clerk and the county before assuming a property will pencil as a nightly rental.
What schools serve Ophir? ▾
Ophir falls within the Tooele County School District. Most students are bussed or driven to schools in Stockton and Tooele, roughly 20-30 minutes away. Families relocating here should plan around that commute when choosing grade levels and activities.
