Homes Under $300,000 in Scofield, Utah
Scofield sits at roughly 7,700 feet in Carbon County, tucked against the Manti-La Sal foothills about 25 miles west of Price and a two-hour drive south of Salt Lake City. The town itself has fewer than 30 year-round residents, but the surrounding area — especially around Scofield Reservoir and the Mountain View and Pondtown subdivisions — fills up every summer with cabin owners chasing trout, ATV trails on the Skyline Drive, and temperatures that rarely break 80°F in July. Under $300K is the working price band here: most of what trades in that range is a small A-frame, a 1970s-era cabin, or a manufactured home on a recreational lot. Full-time residences are rarer, since winter snow loads are heavy and the road in from Highway 96 can be a workout from December through March.
Buyers shopping this price point in Scofield are usually looking at it as a second home or weekend property, not a primary residence. Expect well-and-septic systems instead of municipal utilities on most lots, propane heat, and HOA dues if the property sits inside one of the platted subdivisions around the reservoir. Cell service is spotty, Starlink is increasingly common, and the nearest grocery run is to Price. The trade-off is real quiet, dark skies, and ice fishing out the back door come January. Inventory under $300K turns over slowly — sometimes only a handful of listings hit the MLS in a given season — so it's worth checking back regularly.

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.
