Homes Under $300,000 in Emery, Utah
Emery sits in the Castle Valley of Emery County, along the Fremont River and Highway 10, roughly 2.5 hours south of Salt Lake City. At a little over 300 residents, it is a farm-and-ranch town where a $300K budget buys what Wasatch Front shoppers can only find in a condo: a detached house, often on a large lot with irrigation shares, room for a shop, and sometimes pasture for animals. Most of the housing is older single-story ranch homes, manufactured homes on permanent foundations, and a handful of newer builds.
Price is the main draw, but the lifestyle matters just as much. Winters are cold and dry at about 6,200 feet, summers are warm with cool nights, and the San Rafael Swell, Joes Valley Reservoir, and Fishlake National Forest are all within an easy drive. Many residents work at the area's power and mining operations, in agriculture, or for Emery School District, and some commute to Castle Dale, Ferron, or Price. Remote workers with solid internet also look here for cheap land and quiet. Inventory is thin because the town is small, so listings move on their own schedule, and well-priced homes do not always sit long.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Emery.
How many homes under $300K are typically listed in Emery at one time? ▾
Emery is a small market — often just 2 to 8 total active listings town-wide, and the under-$300K band usually accounts for most of them. New listings can sit for weeks or sell in days depending on condition, so it's worth setting up an alert rather than checking sporadically.
What do you actually get for under $300K in Emery? ▾
Commonly a 3-bed, 1-2 bath home between 1,200 and 1,800 square feet on a lot ranging from a quarter acre up to an acre or more. Many properties include detached shops, carports, or older outbuildings, and some come with shares of irrigation water — ask the listing agent to confirm before writing an offer.
Are manufactured and modular homes included in this price range? ▾
Yes, and they make up a real share of Emery's affordable inventory. Financing varies: homes on permanent foundations with the title retired generally qualify for conventional, FHA, or USDA loans, while older units still on a title may need chattel or cash. Confirm foundation and title status early.
Does Emery qualify for USDA rural housing loans? ▾
Almost certainly yes. Emery's population and location put it well inside USDA Rural Development eligibility maps, which means qualified buyers can finance with zero down up to program income limits. It's one of the most useful loan products for this market.
What are property taxes and utilities like out here? ▾
Property taxes in Emery County are among the lower rates in Utah, often running well under 0.7% of assessed value on a primary residence. Most homes use natural gas or propane heat, culinary water comes from the town system, and many lots have septic rather than sewer — factor a septic inspection into your offer.
How far is Emery from jobs, shopping, and an airport? ▾
Castle Dale (the county seat) is about 25 minutes north, Price is roughly an hour, and Salt Lake City International is around 2.5 to 3 hours via US-6. Day-to-day grocery and hardware runs usually happen in Castle Dale or Ferron, with bigger shopping trips to Price or Provo.
