Horse Properties for Sale in Scofield, Utah
Scofield sits at roughly 7,700 feet in Carbon County, tucked along the Pleasant Valley shoreline of Scofield Reservoir. It's small — fewer than 30 year-round residents in the town itself — but the surrounding acreage in Pleasant Valley, Clear Creek, and along Highway 96 is where horse owners actually buy. The terrain is high mountain meadow framed by aspen and pine, with cool summers in the 70s and serious winters that routinely drop below zero and pile several feet of snow. That climate shapes everything about keeping horses here: you'll want covered shelter, a heated water source, a hay barn sized for a long feeding season, and realistic plans for plowing access from December through April.
Most equestrian parcels in the Scofield area run from 5 to 40+ acres, with grazing rights, irrigation shares from Pleasant Valley sources, or direct access to Manti-La Sal National Forest trails just minutes from the property line. Buyers here tend to be summer-range owners, backcountry packers, or folks relocating from the Wasatch Front who want trail access without Heber or Kamas prices. Price points are noticeably lower than Wasatch Back equestrian land, though inventory is thin — sometimes only a handful of qualifying listings hit the MLS in a given season. Scroll through the active listings below to see what's currently available, and reach out if you want a heads-up when something new comes on.

Common questions
About horse properties in Scofield.
Can horses be kept year-round in Scofield, or is it more of a summer setup? ▾
Both are common. Plenty of owners run Scofield as summer range from May through October and trailer horses down to lower elevations for winter. If you plan to keep horses on-site through winter, you'll need an enclosed or three-sided shelter, tank heaters, and a hay supply sized for 6+ months of feeding since pasture is buried under snow.
What kind of acreage is typical for horse properties around Scofield? ▾
Most listings in Pleasant Valley and the Clear Creek corridor fall between 5 and 40 acres, though larger ranch parcels of 100+ acres do come up occasionally. Smaller in-town lots usually don't have the zoning or water for livestock — the working horse properties are outside the Scofield town limits in unincorporated Carbon County.
Is there water for irrigation and stock? ▾
Many parcels carry shares in Pleasant Valley irrigation or have creek frontage on Mud Creek or Fish Creek tributaries. Always verify water rights with the Utah Division of Water Rights before closing — paper rights and actual delivery don't always match, and stock water needs separate consideration from culinary.
How is trail access from Scofield horse properties? ▾
Excellent. Manti-La Sal National Forest borders much of the valley, and you can ride directly into the Wasatch Plateau on established forest roads and trails. The Skyline Drive corridor and Electric Lake area are popular destinations within a short trailer ride or, from some properties, directly from the barn.
What do horse properties in Scofield typically cost compared to Heber or Kamas? ▾
Significantly less. Equestrian acreage in the Wasatch Back regularly runs $1M+ for modest setups, while comparable Scofield-area parcels often trade in the $400K–$800K range depending on improvements, water, and home quality. The trade-off is a longer drive to services — Price is about 30 minutes away, Salt Lake City roughly 2 hours.
Are there zoning or HOA restrictions on keeping horses? ▾
Unincorporated Carbon County is generally permissive about livestock on acreage, with no HOA in most of the valley. A few subdivisions near the reservoir have CC&Rs that limit animals, so always pull the recorded covenants for any specific parcel before assuming horses are allowed.
