Homes with Acreage for Sale in Bountiful, Utah
Bountiful sits on the Davis County bench just north of Salt Lake City, and it's one of the few Wasatch Front cities where you can still find genuine acreage within a 20-minute drive of downtown SLC. The larger lots cluster in two distinct areas: the east bench above 1500 East, where homes back up to the foothills below Mueller Park and the Bountiful B, and pockets on the west side near Legacy Parkway where older farmsteads have been subdivided over the years. East bench acreage tends to come with serious elevation gain, mature landscaping, and views straight down the Salt Lake Valley toward the Oquirrhs. West-side parcels are flatter, easier to use for outbuildings or horse setups, and generally priced lower per acre.
Buyers chasing acreage here are usually weighing a specific trade-off: more land and quieter surroundings versus the tighter lots in places like Centerville or Farmington. Water rights, secondary irrigation shares, and zoning for animals vary parcel by parcel — a home on 1.5 acres in unincorporated Davis County may allow horses while a similar lot inside Bountiful city limits won't. Snow load on the east bench is also heavier than the valley floor, which matters for driveways, roofs, and outbuildings. Inventory of true acreage properties stays thin, often under a dozen active at any given time. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Bountiful.
How much land typically comes with an acreage property in Bountiful? ▾
Most acreage listings in Bountiful run between 0.5 and 2 acres, with a smaller pool of 3 to 5+ acre parcels in the east bench foothills and along Eaglewood. True 5-acre-plus lots are rare inside city limits and usually sit in the unincorporated benches above 1500 East or near the mouth of Mueller Park Canyon.
What's the price range for homes with acreage in Bountiful? ▾
Expect roughly $900K on the low end for a dated home on a half-acre, and $1.5M to $3M+ for updated homes on 1+ acres with Wasatch or valley views. East bench locations carry a steep premium over west-side acreage near Legacy Parkway because of view corridors and proximity to Mueller Park trails.
Can I keep horses or livestock on Bountiful acreage? ▾
It depends on the zoning. Portions of east Bountiful and unincorporated Davis County allow horses with minimum lot sizes (often 1 acre per animal), while R-1 residential zones inside the city generally do not. Always verify the specific parcel's zoning with Bountiful City or Davis County before assuming animal rights transfer.
Is secondary irrigation water included with these properties? ▾
Many Bountiful acreage lots have access to pressurized secondary water through Weber Basin or local irrigation shares, which is essential for keeping a larger yard green through July and August. Confirm shares and connection points during due diligence — secondary water is one of the biggest cost differences between maintaining one acre versus a quarter-acre lot.
How long is the commute from Bountiful acreage to downtown Salt Lake City? ▾
From most Bountiful neighborhoods it's a 15-20 minute drive to downtown SLC via I-15 or Beck Street, and about 20-25 minutes to the SLC airport. East bench properties add another 5-10 minutes getting down to the freeway, which is the trade-off for the views and larger lots.
Are there building or expansion restrictions on hillside acreage? ▾
Yes. Bountiful's hillside overlay regulates grading, building height, and setbacks on slopes above roughly 1300 East, and some parcels sit in sensitive geologic zones requiring soils reports before adding a shop, ADU, or pool. If you're buying with plans to expand, get a pre-purchase consult with the city's planning department.
