Investment Properties for Sale in Scofield, Utah

Scofield is a small mountain community in Carbon County sitting at roughly 7,600 feet, about a two-hour drive south of Salt Lake City via Highway 6 through Spanish Fork Canyon. The town itself has under 30 year-round residents, but Scofield Reservoir draws thousands of visitors during the open-water months for trout fishing, and the surrounding area becomes a snowmobiling and ice-fishing hub once winter sets in. That seasonal swing is exactly what makes investment property here worth a look — most cabins and small homes around Scofield, Clear Creek, and the reservoir's edge function as short-term rentals, hunting basecamps for the Manti-La Sal units, or weekend getaways for Wasatch Front owners who rent them out the rest of the year.

Price points are friendlier than nearly anywhere in Utah's other recreation markets — entry-level cabins still trade in the low-to-mid six figures, well below comparable properties in Park City, Heber, or even Fairview Canyon. Buyers should weigh the realities: winters are long and cold (overnight lows below zero are routine), road access can require a plow contract or snowmobile from the highway, and culinary water and septic situations vary lot to lot. Carbon County's short-term rental rules are also more permissive than many Utah jurisdictions, which is part of the appeal for cash-flow-focused buyers.
