Homes Under $300,000 in Orangeville, Utah
Orangeville sits in Emery County along Highway 29, in the Castle Valley area at roughly 5,800 feet, about 2.5 hours south of Salt Lake City. It's a small farming and ranching town of around 1,500 people, and price is the main reason buyers come here. Most single-family homes, older ranch-style houses, and manufactured homes on larger lots sell well under $300K, a price that buys a small condo or townhome along the Wasatch Front. Lots often run a half acre or more, and many allow a garden, shop, or a few animals.
Jobs in the area come from the Emery County power and mining sector, agriculture, schools in the Emery School District, and work in nearby Castle Dale, Huntington, and Ferron. Price Utah's hospital and shopping are about 45 minutes north. Winters are cold and summers are hot and dry, so check insulation, roof condition, well or secondary water access, and heating costs on older homes. Cleveland Reservoir, Joe's Valley, the San Rafael Swell, and Manti-La Sal National Forest are all close for hunting, fishing, ATV riding, and climbing. Inventory is thin because the town is small, so good listings can move quickly. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently available under $300K.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Orangeville.
What kind of home can I actually get in Orangeville for under $300K? ▾
Most listings in this range are 1,200–2,000 sq ft single-family homes built between 1960 and 2000, typically on lots of a quarter-acre or larger. Expect three bedrooms, one or two baths, an attached or detached garage, and often an unfinished basement. Updated kitchens and newer roofs are the exception, not the rule, so budget for some cosmetic work.
How many homes under $300K are usually for sale in Orangeville? ▾
Orangeville is a small market — it's common to see only a handful of active listings under $300K at any given time, sometimes fewer than five. Inventory turns over slowly, so if something well-priced hits the MLS it tends to go under contract within a couple of weeks. Setting up an instant alert is the practical move.
Do these homes usually come with irrigation water? ▾
Many older Orangeville properties carry shares in Cottonwood Creek Consolidated Irrigation Company or have secondary water rights through the town system. Shares are valuable for pasture, gardens, or large lawns and don't always transfer automatically — confirm with the listing agent and verify share counts before closing.
What are property taxes like in Emery County? ▾
Emery County has some of the lowest effective property tax rates in Utah, often well under 0.6% of assessed value. On a $275,000 home you're typically looking at roughly $1,200–$1,500 a year, which is a meaningful difference from Utah or Salt Lake County.
Is financing straightforward on lower-priced rural homes here? ▾
Conventional and FHA loans work fine on most stick-built homes in Orangeville town limits. USDA Rural Development loans are also available here and can mean zero down for qualifying buyers. Manufactured homes on permanent foundations with deeded land are financeable, but older mobile homes or homes needing major repair sometimes require a renovation loan or cash.
How far is Orangeville from real services and bigger cities? ▾
Castle Dale is five minutes away with the county hospital, courthouse, and a grocery store. Price is about 35 minutes north for a Walmart and chain restaurants, Provo is roughly two hours, and Salt Lake City International is about two and a half hours. Joe's Valley Reservoir and the Manti-La Sal trail system are 15–20 minutes from town.
