Homes with Acreage for Sale in Amalga, Utah
Amalga is a small farming town on the north end of Cache Valley, about 12 miles from Logan and tucked between Newton, Smithfield, and Trenton. The town runs on agriculture — dairy operations, hay fields, and family-held pasture ground define the landscape, and most lots that hit the MLS here come with real usable land rather than a fenced suburban backyard. Elevation sits near 4,500 feet, winters are cold with steady snowpack feeding the Bear River drainage, and summer days are warm and dry with cool nights that make irrigated alfalfa a serious crop. Buyers looking at acreage in Amalga are typically after horse property, a hobby farm, room for shops and outbuildings, or a working parcel with water shares attached.
Because Amalga is unincorporated-feeling and governed largely through Cache County, zoning is friendlier to livestock, accessory structures, and ag use than what you find in Logan or North Logan. Lot sizes on current and recent listings range from roughly one acre up to 40+ acre working parcels, and water rights, irrigation shares, and well status vary parcel to parcel — those details matter as much as the house itself. Commutes to USU, Logan Regional Hospital, and the Logan industrial corridor are manageable, and Highway 91 gets you to Sardine Canyon and the Wasatch Front in about 90 minutes. Browse the active acreage listings below to see what's currently on the market in Amalga and the surrounding north-valley area.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Amalga.
How much land typically comes with an acreage property in Amalga? ▾
Most acreage listings in Amalga run from 1 to 5 acres on residential parcels, with larger working tracts of 10 to 40+ acres tied to hay ground or pasture along Cache Valley Highway and the side roads off SR-218. Anything over 40 acres usually carries an active ag exemption (greenbelt) that the buyer can keep in place if the use continues.
Can I keep horses, cattle, or other livestock on Amalga acreage? ▾
Yes. Amalga is zoned primarily agricultural through Cache County, and animal rights are part of why people move here. Horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, and 4-H projects are standard. Verify animal-unit limits with the county for the specific parcel size before you write an offer.
What's the water situation — irrigation, wells, and culinary? ▾
Most properties pull culinary water from a private well or the local water system, and irrigation typically comes from shares in Logan, Hyde Park & Smithfield Canal or Newton Creek depending on location. Water shares often transfer separately from the deed, so confirm shares, well logs, and water rights in writing during due diligence.
How does pricing compare to nearby Cache Valley towns? ▾
Acreage in Amalga generally runs a bit less per acre than Smithfield, Hyde Park, or Providence because it's further from USU and the Logan job centers. Expect homes on 1–5 acres to land in roughly the $600K–$900K range depending on home size and outbuildings, with larger ag parcels priced on land value plus improvements.
How far is Amalga from Logan and from Salt Lake City? ▾
Downtown Logan and Utah State University are about 12 miles south, roughly a 15–20 minute drive. Salt Lake City and SLC International sit about 90 miles south through Sardine Canyon, which is around 90 minutes in clear weather and longer when winter storms hit the canyon.
What should I check on outbuildings, septic, and access? ▾
Many Amalga acreage properties include barns, shops, loafing sheds, or grain bins of varying age — get them inspected and confirm whether permits exist. Septic systems are the norm rather than sewer, so order a septic inspection and locate the drain field. Also verify whether driveway access is via a county road or a shared/private easement.
