Homes Under $300,000 in Fremont, Utah
Fremont is a small ranching community in Wayne County, tucked between Loa and Lyman along Highway 24 at roughly 7,000 feet elevation. The town sits at the edge of Fishlake National Forest, about 25 minutes from Capitol Reef's western boundary and a short drive to Fish Lake itself — one of the largest natural mountain lakes in Utah. Property here tends to be older farmhouses, manufactured homes on acreage, modest cabins, and the occasional newer build on a horse-friendly lot. Under $300K in Fremont usually buys something with real land attached, which is increasingly rare in most of Utah's price range.
Buyers shopping this price point in Fremont are typically retirees looking for a quiet base near hunting and fishing, remote workers wanting acreage without Wasatch Front prices, or families with ties to the area. Winters are cold (single-digit lows are normal in January), summers are mild and dry, and the growing season is short — about 90 to 100 frost-free days. Water rights, septic systems, and well status matter more here than granite countertops, so read listing remarks carefully and ask about culinary water shares with Fremont Irrigation. Wayne School District serves the area, and the closest full-service grocery is in Richfield, about an hour northwest.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Fremont.
What kind of homes can I actually get under $300K in Fremont? ▾
Most sub-$300K listings in Fremont are older farmhouses, manufactured or modular homes on half-acre to multi-acre lots, and small cabins. It's common to see homes from the 1950s-1980s in this range, sometimes with outbuildings, water shares, or pasture included. Newer stick-built homes under $300K do appear but they're less frequent.
Does Fremont have city water and sewer or are homes on wells and septic? ▾
Most properties in and around Fremont rely on private wells and septic systems. Some homes inside the small town footprint connect to culinary water through Fremont Irrigation shares. Always confirm well depth, septic age, and any attached water rights during due diligence — these line items can affect both financing and long-term costs.
How is the commute and what's nearby for groceries and services? ▾
Fremont is rural. Loa (county seat) is 5 minutes away with a small grocery, clinic, and the Wayne County offices. Richfield, about 55 miles northwest on Highway 24, is the closest town with a Walmart, hospital, and chain stores. Salt Lake City is roughly 3.5 hours north, and St. George is about 3.5 hours southwest.
Is Fremont a good fit for buyers who want recreation access? ▾
Yes — it's one of the reasons buyers look here. Fish Lake, Johnson Valley Reservoir, and Mill Meadow are within 20 minutes for fishing, ice fishing, and boating. Capitol Reef National Park is a short drive east, and the Fishlake National Forest borders the area for hunting, ATV trails, and snowmobiling in winter.
Can I finance a manufactured home in Fremont with a conventional loan? ▾
It depends on the home's age, foundation, and HUD tags. Manufactured homes built after June 1976 on a permanent foundation generally qualify for conventional, FHA, or USDA financing. Older mobile homes or those still on wheels usually require cash or specialty lenders. Wayne County also qualifies for USDA rural housing loans, which is worth asking your lender about.
How active is the market under $300K in Fremont? ▾
Inventory in Fremont is thin year-round simply because it's a small town — often only a handful of homes are listed at any given time, and the sub-$300K segment is the most competitive. Setting up MLS alerts is the practical way to catch new listings early, since well-priced rural homes here can go under contract within a few weeks.
