Homes Under $300,000 in Woodruff, Utah
Woodruff sits in Rich County in Utah's northeast corner, about 30 miles south of Bear Lake and roughly two hours from Salt Lake City over the Monte Cristo summit. It's a working ranch town — population hovers near 200 — at 6,300 feet elevation, with cold winters, short growing seasons, and wide-open Bear River Valley views. Because inventory in Woodruff is thin and turnover is slow, the under-$300K bracket here typically includes older single-family homes on town lots, modest cabins, manufactured homes on acreage, and occasionally a fixer with outbuildings. Buyers drawn to this price point are usually after affordability paired with rural quiet, hunting access (the Crawford Mountains and Cache National Forest are at the doorstep), or a weekend place within striking distance of Bear Lake and Evanston, Wyoming.
Practical realities matter at this price in Woodruff. Many properties run on propane and septic rather than natural gas and city sewer, well water is common on parcels outside the town grid, and winter road maintenance on outlying lanes can be a real consideration. Rich County School District serves the area, with kids typically bused to Randolph for K–12. Cell coverage and high-speed internet have improved but still vary by address, so verify service before you write an offer if remote work is part of the plan. Listings move when they hit, so checking back regularly pays off. Browse the active homes below to see what's currently available under $300K in and around Woodruff.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Woodruff.
How many homes under $300K are usually for sale in Woodruff at one time? ▾
Inventory is genuinely small — Woodruff often has only a handful of active listings total, and the under-$300K segment may show zero to three homes at any given moment. Setting up a saved search with instant alerts is the practical way to catch new listings before they go under contract.
What kind of homes fall in the under-$300K range here? ▾
Expect older site-built homes on town lots, manufactured and modular homes (some on acreage), and the occasional cabin or fixer with outbuildings. Square footage is typically 1,000–1,800, and lot sizes range from a quarter-acre in town to several acres on the outskirts.
Are there financing issues to watch for at this price point? ▾
Yes. Manufactured homes built before 1976, homes on well and septic with deferred maintenance, and properties with significant outbuildings can complicate conventional and FHA financing. USDA Rural Development loans are often a fit in Woodruff since the entire area qualifies as rural. Talk to a lender familiar with Rich County before making an offer.
What are utilities like for homes in this range? ▾
Most Woodruff homes use propane for heat (tanks are owner-owned or leased), septic systems, and either culinary town water or a private well. Electricity is provided by Rocky Mountain Power. Ask for recent propane fill costs and a septic inspection — heating bills at 6,300 feet can run higher than buyers from the valley expect.
How far is Woodruff from larger towns and services? ▾
Randolph is 10 minutes south, Evanston, Wyoming is about 30 minutes east for groceries and Walmart, and Bear Lake (Garden City) is roughly 45 minutes north. Salt Lake City is about two hours via Highway 39 in summer or I-80 year-round. Plan on driving for major shopping, medical care, and the airport.
Is Woodruff a realistic option for a primary residence or mostly second homes? ▾
Both happen. Multi-generation ranching families live here year-round, and remote workers have started buying in for the affordability and quiet. But winters are long and amenities are limited, so spend time in town during January before committing to full-time living. Second-home buyers often pair Woodruff with summer use of nearby Bear Lake.
