Horse Properties for Sale in Clearfield, Utah
Clearfield sits in the heart of north Davis County, wedged between Hill Air Force Base to the east and the Great Salt Lake wetlands to the west, about 30 minutes north of Salt Lake City and 20 minutes south of Ogden. The city itself is mostly built-out suburban grid, so genuine horse properties tend to cluster on the west side toward 2000 West and along the Syracuse, West Point, and unincorporated Davis County borders where parcels open up to a half-acre, full acre, or more. Buyers searching this filter are usually looking at older farmhouses on legacy ag lots, newer custom builds on subdivided pasture, or homes with permitted barns, loafing sheds, and small arenas. Zoning matters more here than in most Utah cities — a property a block inside Clearfield's R-1 line cannot keep a horse, while the same-looking lot across the street in West Point can.
Climate works in horse owners' favor along this stretch of the Wasatch Front: roughly 230 sunshine days, dry summers in the upper 80s to mid 90s, and winters that hover around freezing with manageable snow loads compared to higher elevations. Secondary irrigation from Weber Basin Water keeps pasture green from April through mid-October, and trail access at Antelope Island, the Legacy Parkway, and the foothills above Layton is all within a short trailer ride. Inventory turns over slowly, so the active list shifts week to week. Browse the current listings below to see which Clearfield-area horse properties are on the market right now.

Common questions
About horse properties in Clearfield.
Can you actually keep horses inside Clearfield city limits? ▾
Most of Clearfield is zoned R-1 residential on lots too small for livestock, so true horse properties inside city limits are rare. The realistic options are larger legacy parcels on the west side near the Antelope Drive corridor, or properties just outside the city boundary in unincorporated Davis County, West Point, or Syracuse where agricultural zoning allows horses. Always verify the specific parcel's zoning with Davis County or Clearfield Community Development before writing an offer.
How much land do I need for a horse in this area? ▾
Davis County typically requires a minimum of roughly a half-acre for the first horse with additional square footage per added animal, but rules vary by zone (A-1, A-2, RA, etc.). Clearfield's adjacent municipalities each set their own standards. A one-acre lot is the practical floor most buyers target if they want a small barn, turnout, and room for a tack shed.
Where do people ride near Clearfield? ▾
The Legacy Parkway Trail and Denver & Rio Grande Rail Trail are popular for conditioning rides, and the Antelope Island causeway and state park offer open riding with lake and mountain backdrops about 15 minutes west. Trailering up to the Wasatch foothills or north toward Willard Bay also opens up longer trail options.
What should I check on the well and water rights? ▾
Many horse-friendly parcels west of I-15 rely on private wells or secondary irrigation through Weber Basin Water. Confirm the water right covers livestock use, not just domestic, and ask for recent well flow and water quality reports. Secondary water shutoffs run roughly mid-October through April, so plan winter turnout water accordingly.
How does proximity to Hill Air Force Base affect horse properties? ▾
Clearfield sits directly adjacent to Hill AFB, and F-35 flight patterns cross parts of the city. Horses generally acclimate to consistent jet noise, but sensitive animals may react during heavier training cycles. Touring a property at different times of day is worth the effort before committing.
What price range should I expect? ▾
Small horse properties on an acre or so in and around Clearfield generally run from the mid $600,000s into the $900,000s depending on the home, outbuildings, and whether the parcel has a barn or arena. Larger setups with multiple stalls, covered arenas, and pasture in neighboring Syracuse or West Point can push past $1.2M.
