Homes Under $300,000 in Circleville, Utah
Circleville is a small ranching town in Piute County along US-89, sitting in the Sevier River valley between Panguitch and Marysvale at about 6,000 feet elevation. The population hovers around 500, the elementary school is K-8, and high schoolers bus to Piute High in Junction. This is Butch Cassidy's hometown — his boyhood cabin still stands south of town — and the surrounding country is mostly BLM ground, hay fields, and cattle operations backing up to the Tushar Mountains and Fishlake National Forest. Buyers shopping under $300K here are usually after acreage, a quiet rural pace, hunting and fishing access, or a low-overhead second home within driving distance of Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef.
At this price band in Circleville, listings tend to be older site-built homes on town lots, manufactured homes on deeded acreage, or fixer-uppers with outbuildings and irrigation rights. Winters run cold with real snow, summers are dry and mild thanks to the elevation, and most properties rely on private wells, septic systems, and propane rather than city utilities. Inventory is genuinely limited — Piute County only sees a few dozen sales a year total — so patience and a saved search matter more than they would on the Wasatch Front. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently available under $300K, and reach out if you'd like a heads-up when something new hits the MLS.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Circleville.
What kind of home does $300K actually buy in Circleville? ▾
At this price point in Circleville you're typically looking at older single-family homes on larger lots, manufactured homes on deeded land, or small acreage parcels with modest cabins or ranch-style houses. Many properties sit on a quarter-acre to several acres given how rural Piute County is. Square footage usually lands between 900 and 1,800.
How many homes under $300K are usually on the market in Circleville? ▾
Inventory is thin. Circleville is a town of roughly 500 people, so it's normal to see only a handful of active listings county-wide, and sometimes just one or two within the town limits. Setting up an MLS alert is the practical way to catch new listings the day they hit.
Is well and septic standard out here? ▾
Yes. Most properties in and around Circleville run on private wells and septic systems rather than municipal utilities. Buyers should budget for a well flow test, water quality test, and septic inspection during due diligence, especially on older rural parcels.
What's the commute and access like from Circleville? ▾
Circleville sits on US-89 in Piute County, about 3.5 hours south of Salt Lake City and roughly 90 minutes north of Cedar City. Richfield is the closest larger town for groceries, medical care, and big-box shopping at about 45 minutes north. There's no commercial airport closer than Cedar City or St. George.
Can I get a conventional loan on rural homes at this price? ▾
Usually yes, though manufactured homes, log cabins, and properties with significant acreage sometimes need a portfolio lender or USDA Rural Development loan. Circleville's rural designation means most of the area qualifies for USDA financing with zero down for buyers who meet income limits.
What should I know about water rights on rural Circleville properties? ▾
Water rights are a separate asset from the land in Utah and don't always transfer automatically. If irrigation, livestock water, or a secondary well matters to you, ask the listing agent for the water right number and verify it through the Utah Division of Water Rights before writing an offer.
