Homes Under $300,000 in Scofield, Utah
Scofield sits at roughly 7,600 feet elevation in Carbon County, centered around Scofield Reservoir — one of Utah's most popular ice-fishing and cold-water trout destinations. The town is small by any measure, with a permanent population well under 100 residents, but it draws a steady stream of buyers looking for cabins, recreational retreats, and year-round getaways within about 90 miles of Salt Lake City. Homes here are almost entirely single-family cabins or modular/manufactured homes on modest lots, and the sub-$300K price range captures a substantial portion of the active market. Given Scofield's rural character, you're not paying for proximity to a Costco — you're paying for silence, dark skies, immediate reservoir access, and winters that regularly push 200+ inches of snowfall, making the area a quiet alternative to the crowded Wasatch Front ski corridor.
Buyers focused on homes under $300K in Scofield should understand a few practical realities before writing an offer. Most properties in this price range are seasonal or semi-seasonal cabins, so verifying year-round road access, propane availability, well and septic condition, and insulation quality is critical — not optional due diligence. Carbon County property taxes are low by Utah standards, which helps offset carrying costs when a cabin sits empty in shoulder seasons. Financing can be more nuanced for recreational or non-primary-residence properties, so connecting with a lender experienced in rural Utah cabins early in the process saves headaches later.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Scofield.
What kind of property can I actually get in Scofield for under $300K? ▾
Most listings in this range are small cabins, A-frames, or manufactured homes on recreational lots near Scofield Reservoir. Square footage typically runs 600–1,200 sq ft, often with a sleeping loft rather than separate bedrooms. Raw land parcels also show up under $300K if you'd rather build.
Are these homes livable year-round or just seasonal? ▾
It depends on the specific property. Some cabins in the Mountain View and Pondtown areas are winterized with heated water lines and propane furnaces, but many are summer-only with drained plumbing from October to May. Confirm road maintenance, snow removal, and utility setup before assuming year-round access.
Do Scofield properties typically have HOA fees? ▾
Many of the platted subdivisions around the reservoir do have HOAs, with dues usually in the $200–$600 per year range covering road maintenance, common areas, and sometimes shared water systems. Properties outside the subdivisions on county roads generally don't have HOA fees but also don't get plowed in winter.
How is water and septic handled out there? ▾
Scofield town itself has a small municipal system, but most properties outside the town limits run on private wells or shared community water and individual septic tanks. Have any well tested for flow rate and water quality, and ask for a recent septic inspection — replacements at elevation can run $15K and up.
Can I finance a cabin under $300K in Scofield, or is it a cash market? ▾
Both happen. Conventional and second-home loans work on properties that meet standard requirements — permanent foundation, year-round road access, working utilities. Older cabins, off-grid setups, and manufactured homes on leased land often end up as cash deals or portfolio loans through a local lender like Eastern Utah Community Credit Union.
How often do homes under $300K actually come on the market here? ▾
Scofield is a thin market — sometimes only 5 to 15 properties trade in a full year across all price points. Listings under $300K move fastest in late spring when buyers are gearing up for summer. Setting up an MLS alert is the practical way to catch new inventory before it's gone.
