4+ Bedroom Homes for Sale in Emery, Utah
Emery is a small ranching and coal-country town in southern Emery County, tucked between the San Rafael Swell to the east and the Wasatch Plateau to the west. With a population hovering around 280, it's the kind of place where 4+ bedroom homes tend to be working family properties — multi-generational farmhouses, ranch-style ramblers on an acre or more, and newer builds put up by families who wanted room to spread out without paying Wasatch Front prices. Most larger homes here sit on parcels big enough for a shop, a few animals, or irrigated pasture, which is a meaningful part of why buyers look in Emery in the first place.
Climate-wise, Emery sits at about 6,250 feet, so summers are warmer than Castle Dale but cooler than St. George, and winters bring real snow without the lake-effect dumps of northern Utah. Commuters typically work in Huntington, Castle Dale, or the Hunter and Huntington power plants, with Price about 45 minutes north and Salt Lake roughly three hours away. Buyers shopping for a 4-bedroom-plus home here are usually prioritizing square footage, land, and quiet over walkable amenities — the nearest grocery run is Ferron or Castle Dale. Inventory at this size moves slowly and listings are limited, so it's worth checking back regularly. Browse the active 4+ bedroom listings below to see what's currently available in Emery.

Common questions
About 4+ bedroom homes in Emery.
What's the typical lot size for a 4+ bedroom home in Emery? ▾
Emery sits in a rural pocket of Emery County, so larger parcels are the norm. Many 4-bedroom properties come with a half-acre to several acres, and it's not unusual to see homes paired with horse property, outbuildings, or irrigation shares. Tight subdivision lots are rare here compared to Wasatch Front cities.
How does pricing compare to nearby towns like Castle Dale or Ferron? ▾
Emery generally runs at or below Castle Dale and Ferron pricing because it's smaller and farther from the county seat. A 4-bedroom home here often lists well under comparable square footage along the Wasatch Front, though inventory is thin and prices swing with whatever handful of homes are active. Check the listings below for current numbers.
Are there many 4+ bedroom homes on the market in Emery at any given time? ▾
Inventory is limited. Emery's population is under 300, so the active MLS count for 4-bedroom-plus homes is usually in the low single digits. Buyers serious about the area often set up alerts and move quickly when something hits the market.
What school district serves larger families buying in Emery? ▾
Emery County School District covers the town. Elementary-age kids typically attend Cottonwood Elementary in Ferron, and older students go to Ferron Junior High and Emery High School in Castle Dale. Bus routes handle the rural distances.
Do larger homes here usually have basements or are they single-level? ▾
Both are common. Older farmhouses tend to be two-story with bedrooms upstairs, while homes built from the 1990s onward often use a rambler floor plan with a finished basement to hit the 4-5 bedroom count. Basement bedrooms in Emery generally stay cool through the summer without heavy AC use.
Is water and septic a concern on larger rural properties? ▾
Most homes inside town limits are on culinary water through Emery Water Conservancy, but septic systems are very common since municipal sewer coverage is limited. Buyers should budget for a septic inspection and ask about irrigation water shares, which can add real value for families wanting pasture or a large garden.
