5+ Bedroom Homes for Sale in Scofield, Utah
Scofield is a tiny mountain town in Carbon County sitting at roughly 7,700 feet, wrapped around Scofield Reservoir and surrounded by the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Five-bedroom-plus houses here are unusual — the year-round population is under 30, and most properties on the market are cabins or seasonal lodges rather than full-time family homes. When a larger home does come up, it's typically built for groups: extended families who fish the reservoir in summer, snowmobile the Skyline Drive corridor in winter, and want enough beds to sleep cousins, in-laws, and gear without anyone sleeping on the floor.
Expect log construction, metal roofs built for heavy snow loads, and lots that back up to forest or look out toward the water. Utilities matter more here than in Wasatch Front suburbs — verify whether a property is on culinary water or a well, septic capacity for that many bedrooms, propane delivery, and whether the road in is county-maintained through winter or if you'll need a snowmobile from December through April. Price points vary widely depending on access, lake proximity, and whether the home is finished to full-time standards or weekender standards. Scofield is about a 2-hour drive from Provo via Highway 6 through Soldier Summit, and Price is the nearest town for groceries and services, roughly 30 minutes east.

Common questions
About 5+ bedroom homes in Scofield.
How many 5+ bedroom homes are usually for sale in Scofield? ▾
Inventory is extremely thin. Scofield has a permanent population in the double digits, and large homes turn over rarely — sometimes only one or two 5-bedroom properties hit the MLS in a given year. If nothing is showing below, it's worth setting up a saved search so you're notified the moment one lists.
Are most large Scofield homes full-time residences or cabins? ▾
The majority are recreational cabins or lodges built for group use rather than year-round living. Some are winterized and road-accessible 12 months a year; others are seasonal and need to be reached by snowmobile once the snow stacks up. Confirm winter access before you write an offer.
Can a 5-bedroom home in Scofield be used as a short-term rental? ▾
Yes, vacation rentals are common around the reservoir, and a larger home rents well to ice-fishing groups in winter and family reunions in summer. Check current Carbon County and any HOA rules on nightly rentals before underwriting the income, since regulations have shifted in nearby mountain towns.
What should I check on septic and water for a larger home up here? ▾
Septic systems in Scofield are sized per bedroom count, so a 5-bedroom needs a system rated accordingly — ask for the permit and the most recent pump/inspection record. Water is typically either a private well or the Scofield town system; verify flow rates and whether the line is frost-protected for winter use.
How is winter access to Scofield? ▾
Highway 96 from the Highway 6 turnoff is plowed and maintained, so the town itself stays reachable. Side roads and lakeside subdivisions are a different story — some are private and unplowed past a certain point, meaning you park at a trailhead and snowmobile in. Always ask the listing agent for specifics on the exact address.
What do buyers typically use a 5-bedroom Scofield home for? ▾
Fishing (Scofield Reservoir is one of Utah's best trout fisheries), snowmobiling the Skyline Drive system, elk hunting in the surrounding units, and large family gatherings. The bedroom count matters because groups come up together — a 5-bed sleeping 12-14 people is the sweet spot for extended-family use and weekend rental demand.
