Homes with Acreage for Sale in Scofield, Utah
Scofield sits at roughly 7,600 feet elevation in Carbon County, tucked into the Price River watershed about 25 miles north of Price and 115 miles southeast of Salt Lake City. At that altitude, summers are cool and short — highs rarely crack 80°F — making acreage properties here a genuine alternative for buyers who want land without the scorching heat of the Wasatch Front. Scofield Reservoir draws anglers and boaters from across the state, and the surrounding Manti-La Sal and Fishlake national forests give property owners immediate access to hundreds of thousands of acres of public land for hunting, snowmobiling, and ATV riding. Parcels here tend to run larger and cost considerably less per acre than comparable properties in Heber Valley or the Wasatch Back — buyers routinely find 1- to 10-acre homesites and small ranches in price ranges that would barely buy a subdivision lot closer to the Wasatch Front.
Homes with acreage in Scofield attract a specific kind of buyer: people prioritizing elbow room, recreational access, and a slower pace over urban convenience. Most parcels are served by well and septic rather than municipal utilities, and road maintenance — particularly during heavy snowfall that can exceed 200 inches annually at this elevation — is a real ownership consideration worth discussing with your agent. Livestock keeping, outbuildings, and off-grid setups are common and generally permitted under Carbon County zoning outside incorporated limits. Cell coverage can be limited, so remote work viability depends on satellite internet options like Starlink. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Scofield.
How much land typically comes with acreage properties in Scofield? ▾
Most acreage listings around Scofield run anywhere from 1 to 40 acres, with cabin parcels on the smaller end and ranch-style holdings near Clear Creek or Mud Creek on the larger end. A handful of legacy homesteads occasionally hit the market with 80+ acres bordering Manti-La Sal National Forest land.
Is Scofield a year-round community or mostly seasonal? ▾
Scofield sits at roughly 7,600 feet and gets serious snow from November through April, so a large share of homes are used seasonally for fishing, snowmobiling, and hunting. That said, a small year-round population does live here, and some acreage homes are built and insulated for full-time occupancy.
Can I run livestock or horses on Scofield acreage? ▾
Yes, on most parcels outside the town limits — Carbon County zoning is generally permissive for horses, cattle, and small livestock on rural acreage. Confirm water rights and any HOA or subdivision covenants before counting on grazing, since high-elevation pasture is short-season.
What about water rights and wells on these properties? ▾
Water is the single most important due-diligence item up here. Some properties pull from private wells, others from shared community systems, and irrigation water rights from Scofield Reservoir tributaries are a separate issue. Always verify with the Utah Division of Water Rights before closing.
How far is Scofield from Price and Salt Lake City? ▾
Price is about 30 minutes down Highway 96 and US-6, and Salt Lake City is roughly two hours via Soldier Summit. The drive up the canyon can be slow in winter storms, which is worth factoring in if you plan to commute or stock the property regularly.
Are most acreage homes on paved roads with utilities? ▾
It varies widely. Properties closer to the town of Scofield and the reservoir tend to have power and county-maintained access, while parcels further out toward Pondtown or the forest boundary may rely on dirt roads, propane, septic, and sometimes solar. Listing remarks usually spell this out, but a site visit is essential.
