Homes Under $300,000 in Scofield, Utah
Scofield sits at over 7,600 feet in Carbon County, wrapped around Scofield Reservoir about 30 minutes north of Price on Highway 96. It's one of the few spots left in Utah where a home under $300K still buys real acreage or a solid cabin rather than a fixer-upper on a postage-stamp lot. Winters here are serious — this is one of the coldest inhabited places in the state, with heavy snow and sub-zero stretches common from November through March — so most of what's listed at this price point is built as a seasonal cabin or a hunting/fishing retreat rather than a year-round primary residence. That reality shapes the buyer pool: retirees looking for a summer getaway, Price and Helper locals wanting a lake cabin, and out-of-state buyers drawn by the reservoir's trout fishing and the surrounding Manti-La Sal National Forest.
Inventory in Scofield is thin compared to Wasatch Front towns, so pricing under $300K often means an older cabin, a modest manufactured home, or a smaller lot with utilities already run rather than raw land. Well and septic systems, propane heat, and unpaved or seasonally-maintained roads are common outside the platted town core, so it pays to check access and utility setup before assuming a listing works for full-time living.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Scofield.
What kind of property can I actually get in Scofield for under $300K? ▾
Most listings in this range are small cabins, A-frames, or manufactured homes on recreational lots near Scofield Reservoir. Square footage typically runs 600–1,200 sq ft, often with a sleeping loft rather than separate bedrooms. Raw land parcels also show up under $300K if you'd rather build.
Are these homes livable year-round or just seasonal? ▾
It depends on the specific property. Some cabins in the Mountain View and Pondtown areas are winterized with heated water lines and propane furnaces, but many are summer-only with drained plumbing from October to May. Confirm road maintenance, snow removal, and utility setup before assuming year-round access.
Do Scofield properties typically have HOA fees? ▾
Many of the platted subdivisions around the reservoir do have HOAs, with dues usually in the $200–$600 per year range covering road maintenance, common areas, and sometimes shared water systems. Properties outside the subdivisions on county roads generally don't have HOA fees but also don't get plowed in winter.
How is water and septic handled out there? ▾
Scofield town itself has a small municipal system, but most properties outside the town limits run on private wells or shared community water and individual septic tanks. Have any well tested for flow rate and water quality, and ask for a recent septic inspection — replacements at elevation can run $15K and up.
Can I finance a cabin under $300K in Scofield, or is it a cash market? ▾
Both happen. Conventional and second-home loans work on properties that meet standard requirements — permanent foundation, year-round road access, working utilities. Older cabins, off-grid setups, and manufactured homes on leased land often end up as cash deals or portfolio loans through a local lender like Eastern Utah Community Credit Union.
How often do homes under $300K actually come on the market here? ▾
Scofield is a thin market — sometimes only 5 to 15 properties trade in a full year across all price points. Listings under $300K move fastest in late spring when buyers are gearing up for summer. Setting up an MLS alert is the practical way to catch new inventory before it's gone.
