3 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Homes for Sale in Vernon, Utah
Vernon is a small ranching town in Rush Valley, about an hour southwest of Salt Lake City on SR-36, and it draws a very specific kind of buyer — folks who want space, quiet, and a night sky full of stars rather than cul-de-sacs and HOAs. A 3 bedroom, 2 bath home here is the sweet spot for most households: enough room for a family or a home office without the maintenance load of a larger ranch house. Expect a mix of older site-built homes, manufactured homes on permanent foundations, and newer custom builds, most sitting on anywhere from a half-acre to 40+ acres with views of the Sheeprock and Onaqui mountains.
Because Vernon is unincorporated Tooele County, nearly every 3/2 you'll see comes with a private well, septic system, and propane heat — so water rights, well depth, and septic condition matter as much as the floor plan. Winters are cold and dry with real snow, summers run warm but not St. George hot, and the wild horses on the Onaquis plus BLM land out the back door are part of daily life. Inventory is genuinely limited, often only a handful of active listings at a time, so serious shoppers should set up alerts and be ready to drive out quickly.

Common questions
About 3 bed 2 bath homes in Vernon.
How many 3 bed, 2 bath homes are typically for sale in Vernon at any given time? ▾
Vernon is a tiny ranching community of roughly 250 people in Tooele County's Rush Valley, so inventory stays thin — often just a handful of active listings, sometimes only one or two. New listings can sit for months because the buyer pool is small, which gives shoppers time to do thorough due diligence on wells, septic, and land.
Are most 3/2 homes in Vernon on acreage or in a subdivision? ▾
Vernon has no real subdivisions in the Wasatch Front sense. Most 3 bed, 2 bath properties sit on anywhere from a half-acre lot in the town center to 5, 10, or 40+ acres outside town. If you want a standard quarter-acre tract home, Vernon is the wrong town — Tooele or Stansbury Park would fit better.
Do these homes use well water and septic? ▾
Almost always yes. Vernon is unincorporated and off municipal water and sewer, so a 3/2 here will typically have a private well, septic tank, and propane or wood heat. Budget for well inspections, water quality testing, and septic pumping during your due diligence period.
What's the price range for a 3 bed, 2 bath home in Vernon? ▾
Pricing varies widely based on acreage, water rights, and outbuildings. Modest manufactured or older site-built 3/2s on a small parcel often run in the $300Ks, while newer builds on 5–20 acres with water shares and shops can land in the $600K–$900K range. Land and water rights drive value here more than square footage does.
How far is Vernon from Salt Lake City and Tooele? ▾
Vernon sits about 60 miles southwest of downtown Salt Lake City and roughly 35 miles south of Tooele along SR-36. Plan on a 70–80 minute commute to SLC in good weather — winter storms and the climb over Lookout Pass area can add time. Most residents work locally, in Tooele, or remotely.
What school district serves Vernon? ▾
Vernon is in the Tooele County School District. The local elementary is Vernon Elementary, a very small K-6 school in town, and older students are bused to Dugway or Tooele for middle and high school depending on the year and program. Confirm current boundaries with the district before you write an offer.
