Homes Under $300,000 in Scofield, Utah
Scofield sits at about 7,600 feet in Carbon County, wrapped around Scofield Reservoir off Highway 96, roughly 30 minutes north of Price. It's one of the few spots left in Utah where a home under $300K still buys real acreage, a cabin, or a lot with lake access rather than a starter townhome. Winters here are long and serious — snow piles up from November through April, and many properties are seasonal cabins rather than year-round residences, so buyers need to check road access, heating setup, and whether the water/septic systems are winterized for the elevation. Carbon County's overall low cost of living, combined with Scofield's remote setting, keeps prices well below the Wasatch Front for cabins, modular homes, and small lots.
Most of what shows up under $300K in Scofield falls into a few categories: older cabins built for fishing and boating trips, manufactured or modular homes on owned land, and vacant lots close to the reservoir. Because inventory is thin — sometimes just a handful of active listings at any given time — homes here don't sit unsold the way they might in a bigger market, especially anything with reservoir views or a boat dock nearby. Buyers should budget for well/septic inspections, snow-load roof condition, and winter road maintenance before assuming a property works as a full-time residence.

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.
