Homes with Views for Sale in Scofield, Utah
Scofield sits at roughly 7,700 feet on the eastern slope of the Wasatch Plateau, wrapped around Scofield Reservoir in northern Carbon County. That elevation does the heavy lifting here — almost every parcel in town looks out at either the water, the surrounding ridgelines of Manti-La Sal National Forest, or the open meadows that run toward Pleasant Valley. Sightlines stay long because the town itself is tiny (population under 30 full-time), zoning is loose, and there's very little vertical development to block what you see from a front porch or back deck. Most homes here are cabins or year-round mountain homes on larger lots, and view corridors toward the reservoir tend to command the strongest prices.
Buyers shopping Scofield for the scenery should think about a few practical pieces: the road in from Highway 6 is plowed but winters are real, with snowpack that often lingers into May above 8,000 feet. Reservoir-facing lots on the west and north sides catch afternoon light on the water, while properties up toward Madsen Bay and the Mountain View area look back across the lake to the Wasatch Plateau. Many listings are sold as recreational second homes, so check whether power, well, and septic are in place versus seasonal hookups. Browse the active listings below to see which view orientations and lot positions are currently on the market.

Common questions
About homes with views in Scofield.
What kind of views do Scofield homes typically have? ▾
The two main view types are reservoir views (Scofield Reservoir is about 2,800 surface acres) and mountain/meadow views toward the Wasatch Plateau and surrounding forest. Some higher lots get both. Because the town is small and low-density, even mid-tier homes often have unobstructed sightlines.
Are view homes in Scofield year-round livable or mostly seasonal cabins? ▾
It's a mix. A portion of the housing stock is seasonal cabins used May through October, while others are built for year-round occupancy with full insulation, propane heat, and plowed access. Confirm with the listing whether utilities are seasonal and how the county road maintenance reaches the property in winter.
Does a reservoir view add much to the price in Scofield? ▾
Yes — direct, unobstructed reservoir-facing lots typically carry a noticeable premium over interior lots with only partial or tree-filtered views. The exact spread depends on lot size, structure, and whether the view is protected by topography or open land in front of it.
How far is Scofield from Salt Lake City or Provo? ▾
Scofield is roughly 2 hours from Salt Lake City and about 1 hour 15 minutes from Provo via Highway 6 through Spanish Fork Canyon. That drive time is part of why prices stay lower here than in closer mountain towns like Midway or Heber.
Can I build to maximize a view if I buy a lot or tear-down? ▾
Carbon County zoning in the Scofield area is relatively permissive compared to Wasatch Front cities, but you'll still need to work within setbacks, septic permitting, and any HOA covenants if the lot sits in a platted subdivision like Mountain View Estates. View easements are uncommon, so neighboring buildable lots are worth checking before you commit.
How many view homes are usually for sale in Scofield at one time? ▾
Inventory is thin — Scofield often has only a handful of active listings at any given moment, and view-oriented properties move faster than interior lots, especially heading into spring fishing and summer season. Setting up an MLS alert is the practical way to catch new listings early.
