Homes with Acreage for Sale in Centerville, Utah
Centerville sits on a narrow strip of bench land between I-15 and the Wasatch foothills in south Davis County, which means acreage here is genuinely scarce. The city is roughly 5.5 square miles, fully incorporated, and most of the buildable flat ground was platted decades ago into quarter-acre lots. The properties that do offer real land tend to fall into two camps: older horse properties along Main Street, 400 East, and the Parrish Lane corridor that have been held by the same families since Centerville was farm country, and newer estate parcels tucked up against the foothills east of Highway 89 where lots stretch to a half-acre, full acre, or occasionally more as they climb toward the mountain. Pricing reflects the scarcity — expect a meaningful premium over the Davis County median, with most true acreage listings landing in the high six figures to low seven figures depending on the home, the views, and whether the lot includes water rights or irrigation share.
Buyers come here for the combination of land and location: 15 minutes to downtown Salt Lake, 20 minutes to the airport, Davis School District boundaries, and direct access to Centerville Canyon and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Horse setups, detached shops, orchards, and room for an ADU are the common use cases. Inventory turns over slowly — sometimes only a handful of acreage properties trade hands in a given year.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Centerville.
What counts as an acreage property in Centerville? ▾
Because Centerville is built out on small bench lots, most local agents start calling something an 'acreage' property at around a half-acre. True one-acre-plus parcels are rare and usually sit either along the historic Main Street corridor or up against the foothills east of Highway 89.
Can I keep horses on acreage in Centerville? ▾
Yes, on properties zoned A (Agricultural) or in certain R-L residential zones with the right lot size — generally a half-acre minimum with additional square footage required per animal. Many of the older Main Street and 400 East properties have grandfathered horse rights, so always verify the specific zoning and animal allowances with Centerville City before writing an offer.
Do acreage properties here come with water rights or irrigation shares? ▾
Some do, particularly the older agricultural parcels that pull from Centerville's secondary water system or hold shares in local irrigation companies. This is one of the most important due-diligence items — secondary water dramatically lowers the cost of keeping pasture green through Utah's dry summers, and shares transfer separately from the deed.
How much premium does acreage add over a standard Centerville home? ▾
A typical quarter-acre home in Centerville trades in the mid-to-upper $600s to low $800s depending on age and finish. Comparable homes on a half-acre to full acre generally run $200K–$500K higher, with foothill estate parcels carrying a wider spread based on views, build quality, and outbuildings.
Are there foothill acreage lots with mountain views? ▾
Yes — the neighborhoods east of Highway 89, including areas off Deuel Creek and the upper benches near Centerville Canyon, have larger lots with valley views west toward the Great Salt Lake and direct Wasatch backdrops to the east. These rarely sit on the market long when priced reasonably.
How often do acreage listings come up in Centerville? ▾
Not often. In a typical year only a small number of true acreage properties hit the MLS within city limits, and well-priced horse properties sometimes sell off-market through agent networks. Setting up a saved search and being ready to tour within a day or two is the practical approach here.
