Horse Properties for Sale in Bothwell, Utah
Bothwell is a small unincorporated farming community in Box Elder County, sitting on the rolling bench between Tremonton and the Bear River. It's exactly the kind of place that still works for actual horse ownership: large parcels, established irrigation through the Bear River Canal system, and county zoning that doesn't fight you over a second barn or an outdoor arena. Most equestrian properties here range from 2-acre hobby setups to 20+ acre working spreads, and a meaningful share of listings carry water rights — a real differentiator from horse properties further south along the Wasatch Front where culinary water has to do double duty for pastures.
Buyers looking at Bothwell are usually trading commute time for elbow room. Tremonton is about 6 miles east for groceries, IFA, and large-animal vets; Logan is 35 minutes; Salt Lake International is roughly an hour and fifteen down I-15 and I-84. The terrain is open and dry-farm productive, with views west toward the Promontory Range and east toward the Wellsvilles, and winters are cold but lighter on snow than Cache Valley. Expect a mix of older farmsteads with original barns and newer custom builds on subdivided ag ground, plus the occasional turnkey setup with stalls, tack room, round pen, and hay storage already in place. Browse the active listings below to see which Bothwell horse properties are currently on the market and what acreage, water, and improvements they include.

Common questions
About horse properties in Bothwell.
How much acreage do horse properties in Bothwell typically include? ▾
Most equestrian parcels here run between 2 and 20 acres, with a handful of larger operations on 40+ acres along the bench above the Bear River. Anything under an acre is rare for true horse setups — county zoning and pasture rotation needs push most owners toward at least 2 to 5 acres per couple of horses.
Is irrigation water included with Bothwell horse properties? ▾
Often yes — many parcels carry shares in Bear River Canal Company or Hammond Canal, which is a major value driver for pasture and hay ground. Always verify share count and delivery schedule with the listing agent, because a property without water rights costs significantly more to keep green through Box Elder County's dry summers.
What zoning rules apply to keeping horses in Bothwell? ▾
Bothwell falls under Box Elder County's agricultural and rural residential zones (A-20, RR-1, RR-5), all of which permit horses with minimum acreage requirements. There are no city ordinances to navigate since Bothwell is unincorporated, which keeps barn, arena, and outbuilding permitting straightforward compared to properties inside Tremonton or Brigham City limits.
How far is Bothwell from feed stores, vets, and trailheads? ▾
Tremonton sits about 6 miles east and has IFA Country Store, Cal Ranch, and large-animal vets. Brigham City is roughly 20 minutes southeast for additional equine services. For riding, the Wellsville Mountains and West Hills offer open BLM ground within a short trailer haul.
What should I budget for a working horse property in Bothwell? ▾
Entry-level setups on 2 to 5 acres with a modest home and basic outbuildings generally start in the upper $500Ks to low $700Ks. Properties with a finished barn, covered arena, multiple pastures, and 10+ acres with full water shares often run $900K to $1.5M+ depending on the home's age and condition.
Is winter a concern for keeping horses in Bothwell? ▾
Winters are cold but manageable — Bothwell sits around 4,300 feet with average January lows in the upper teens and snow that comes and goes rather than piling up like Cache Valley or the high country. Most owners use frost-free hydrants, heated stock tanks, and a three-sided run-in shelter rather than full insulated barns.
