Gated Community Homes for Sale in Scofield, Utah
Scofield is a high-elevation reservoir town in Carbon County, sitting at about 7,700 feet on the western slope of the Wasatch Plateau. It's a small, seasonal place — the year-round population hovers around two dozen — and the real draw is Scofield Reservoir itself, known for rainbow and tiger trout fishing in summer and one of the most reliable ice-fishing scenes in the state come January. Because of the remote setting and long winters, controlled-access and gated developments tend to be private cabin tracts rather than the suburban-style gated subdivisions you'd see in Draper or St. George. Expect lake-access HOAs, private road associations, and seasonal communities where the "gate" is as much about snow management and limiting summer traffic as it is about security.
Buyers shopping gated or restricted-access properties around Scofield are usually after a recreational cabin within driving distance of the Wasatch Front — roughly two hours from Salt Lake via Spanish Fork Canyon, and about 30 minutes from groceries and services in Price. Price points here run substantially lower than comparable lake properties in Summit or Wasatch County, and HOA dues typically cover road plowing, shared water, and sometimes dock or boat-ramp access. Inventory turns over slowly, and a true gated listing in Scofield can sit for a season or appear and sell in a week. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About gated community homes in Scofield.
Are there actually gated communities in Scofield? ▾
Scofield itself is a tiny mountain town of fewer than 30 year-round residents, and most of the surrounding subdivisions around Scofield Reservoir are open-access rather than formally gated. True gated developments are rare here — when one does come up, it's usually a private lake-access tract or a seasonal cabin community with a controlled entry road. Active listings shift quickly, so check the results below for what's currently available.
What's the appeal of buying near Scofield Reservoir? ▾
Scofield sits at roughly 7,700 feet in Carbon County, with cold-water trout fishing, ice fishing in winter, and quick access to snowmobile and ATV trails on the Wasatch Plateau. Most buyers here are looking for a recreational second home rather than a primary residence. Summers are cool (highs in the 70s) and winters are long and snowy.
Are these homes typically primary residences or cabins? ▾
The vast majority are seasonal cabins or recreational properties. Scofield's elevation and limited services mean year-round living takes commitment — plowing, propane delivery, and a long drive to a full grocery store in Price (about 30 minutes east). A gated or restricted-access community usually signals a vacation-use HOA.
What do HOA fees usually cover in restricted-access Scofield developments? ▾
When an HOA exists, fees typically go toward the private road, snow removal at the gate or main access points, shared water systems or wells, and sometimes a boat ramp or dock on the reservoir. Trash service and seasonal road maintenance are common line items. Always pull the CC&Rs before writing an offer — rules on short-term rentals vary.
Can I short-term rent a cabin in a gated Scofield community? ▾
It depends entirely on the HOA. Some Scofield-area associations allow nightly rentals because the area draws fishing and snowmobiling traffic; others restrict rentals to 30 days or longer to keep the community quiet. Carbon County's rules are looser than Summit or Wasatch counties, but the HOA document is what governs.
How far is Scofield from the Wasatch Front? ▾
Scofield is about 2 hours from Salt Lake City via US-6 through Spanish Fork Canyon, and roughly 2.5 hours from the Salt Lake airport. Provo is about 90 minutes away. That drive is the main reason Scofield prices stay well below comparable lake properties in Wasatch or Summit County.
