Single Story Homes for Sale in Scofield, Utah

Scofield sits at roughly 7,600 feet in Carbon County, tucked between the Wasatch Plateau and the Manti-La Sal foothills, with Scofield Reservoir as the main draw for fishing, ice fishing, and summer boating. The housing stock here is small and skews toward cabins and modest mountain homes rather than subdivision builds, so single-level properties make up a meaningful share of what trades hands each year. Buyers shopping for single-story homes in Scofield are usually weekenders from the Wasatch Front, retirees who want a simple footprint to heat and maintain, or anglers who want a base camp within a few minutes of the boat ramp.

Living on one level matters more here than in lower-elevation Utah towns. Winters are long and snowy, propane is the common heat source, and a compact ranch or cabin layout is easier to close up between visits and cheaper to keep above freezing when you're not there. Lot sizes vary widely — from in-town parcels near the Scofield post office to acreage along Pondtown Creek or up toward Mountain View — and well, septic, and winter road access are real considerations on most properties outside the small town grid. Inventory turns over slowly, so the active list is worth checking often. Browse the current single-story listings in Scofield below to see what's on the market right now.

Common questions

About single story homes in Scofield.

Are most homes in Scofield single story?

Yes, the majority of homes around Scofield Reservoir and the small townsite are single-level cabins, A-frames, or modest ranch builds. Two-story construction is less common because many properties were built as recreational getaways where a simple footprint made sense for snow loads and seasonal use.

Can I live in a Scofield single story home year-round?

Some can, but you need to look carefully at the build. Scofield sits above 7,600 feet and regularly sees deep snow and sub-zero nights, so year-round homes need proper insulation, a reliable heat source (often propane), and plumbing protected from freezing. Many existing cabins are set up for summer and shoulder-season use only.

What's the typical price range for a single-level home in Scofield?

Smaller cabins and older single-wides on land often start in the low $200Ks, while updated single-story cabins with lake views or larger lots can run from the mid $300Ks into the $500Ks. Waterfront or close-to-reservoir parcels carry a premium because inventory near the water is limited.

Do single story homes in Scofield usually sit on well and septic?

Most properties outside the small Scofield town limits rely on private wells and septic systems. Inside town there are some connections to municipal water. Always confirm the water source, septic condition, and any shared-well agreements during due diligence.

Is access to a single-level Scofield home an issue in winter?

It can be. State Route 96 is plowed, but many subdivision roads and driveways off the main highway are not maintained in winter, so owners use snowmobiles or UTVs to reach their cabins from late November through April. Ask the listing agent about the specific road status before assuming year-round drive-up access.

Why do buyers specifically want single story here?

Single-level living is easier to heat in a cold mountain climate, simpler to close up between visits, and friendlier for older owners or anyone hauling gear in from a day on the reservoir. It also tends to handle heavy snow loads more predictably than steep multi-story rooflines on older builds.
