Homes with Acreage for Sale in Scofield, Utah
Scofield is a small high-country community in northwestern Carbon County, tucked along Scofield Reservoir at about 7,600 feet of elevation. Acreage properties here aren't suburban lots with a little extra grass — they're working parcels and recreational holdings surrounded by aspen, sage, and Manti-La Sal National Forest. Buyers come for the same reasons they have for a century: blue-ribbon trout fishing on the reservoir, elk and deer hunting in units 16 and 17, snowmobiling out of Skyline Drive, and the kind of quiet you only get in a town with a population under 30. Most acreage listings fall into three buckets: cabin parcels of 1 to 5 acres, mid-size recreational tracts of 5 to 20 acres, and the occasional legacy ranch piece bordering public land.
Because Scofield sits this high, the buying conversation is different than acreage shopping along the Wasatch Front. Snow loads, septic feasibility, water rights tied to the reservoir watershed, year-round road access, and whether a structure is built for full-time occupancy or summer use all matter more than square footage. Price ranges are wide — a rustic cabin on a few acres can trade in the mid-$200s, while a finished home on a sizable parcel with views of the reservoir or Pleasant Valley can run well past $700,000. Inventory is thin and turns over slowly, so it pays to watch the MLS closely. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently available in and around Scofield.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Scofield.
How much land typically comes with acreage properties in Scofield? ▾
Most acreage listings around Scofield run anywhere from 1 to 40 acres, with cabin parcels on the smaller end and ranch-style holdings near Clear Creek or Mud Creek on the larger end. A handful of legacy homesteads occasionally hit the market with 80+ acres bordering Manti-La Sal National Forest land.
Is Scofield a year-round community or mostly seasonal? ▾
Scofield sits at roughly 7,600 feet and gets serious snow from November through April, so a large share of homes are used seasonally for fishing, snowmobiling, and hunting. That said, a small year-round population does live here, and some acreage homes are built and insulated for full-time occupancy.
Can I run livestock or horses on Scofield acreage? ▾
Yes, on most parcels outside the town limits — Carbon County zoning is generally permissive for horses, cattle, and small livestock on rural acreage. Confirm water rights and any HOA or subdivision covenants before counting on grazing, since high-elevation pasture is short-season.
What about water rights and wells on these properties? ▾
Water is the single most important due-diligence item up here. Some properties pull from private wells, others from shared community systems, and irrigation water rights from Scofield Reservoir tributaries are a separate issue. Always verify with the Utah Division of Water Rights before closing.
How far is Scofield from Price and Salt Lake City? ▾
Price is about 30 minutes down Highway 96 and US-6, and Salt Lake City is roughly two hours via Soldier Summit. The drive up the canyon can be slow in winter storms, which is worth factoring in if you plan to commute or stock the property regularly.
Are most acreage homes on paved roads with utilities? ▾
It varies widely. Properties closer to the town of Scofield and the reservoir tend to have power and county-maintained access, while parcels further out toward Pondtown or the forest boundary may rely on dirt roads, propane, septic, and sometimes solar. Listing remarks usually spell this out, but a site visit is essential.
