Homes with Acreage for Sale in Cornish, Utah
Cornish is a small farming town in the northwest corner of Cache Valley, tucked between the Bear River and the Idaho border. It's genuine ag country — hay fields, dairy operations, grain, and cattle ground that has been worked by the same families for generations. Lot sizes here aren't measured in square feet; parcels of 1, 5, 20, or 40+ acres are the norm, and the flat valley floor combined with water shares from the Cub River and West Cache irrigation systems makes the ground actually usable for pasture, horses, or row crops. Winters are cold and snowy (the valley traps inversions), summers are dry and warm in the 80s and 90s, and the growing season runs roughly mid-May through late September.
Buyers shopping acreage in Cornish are usually after one of three things: a working farm with water rights, a rural homesite with room for horses and a shop, or recreational land near the Bear River for hunting and fishing. Cache County zoning is friendly to agricultural use, outbuildings, and livestock, and property taxes on ground enrolled in greenbelt (FAA) stay low. Logan is about 25 minutes south for groceries, USU, and Logan Regional Hospital, and Preston, Idaho is even closer for fuel and feed. Inventory is thin — Cornish only turns over a handful of acreage listings a year — so it pays to watch the market closely. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently available.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Cornish.
How much acreage do Cornish properties typically include? ▾
Most acreage listings in Cornish run from 1 to 5 acres on residential parcels, with working ag properties stretching to 20, 40, or even 80+ acres along the Bear River bottoms. Larger holdings often come with water shares from the Cub River or West Cache Irrigation systems, which matters a lot for pasture and hay ground.
Are water rights included with Cornish acreage? ▾
Sometimes, but never assume. Sellers should disclose any deeded shares (Cub River Irrigation, West Cache, or private wells), and the share count drives a meaningful chunk of the price on ag parcels. Ask for the share certificates and recent assessment receipts during due diligence.
What's the zoning situation for animals and outbuildings? ▾
Cornish falls under Cache County zoning, and most rural parcels are zoned A-10 or RR, which allow horses, cattle, chickens, and large detached shops without much friction. Setbacks and accessory dwelling rules still apply, so confirm with Cache County Development Services before planning a barn or second home.
How far is Cornish from Logan and the Idaho line? ▾
Cornish sits about 25 minutes northwest of Logan and roughly 10 minutes from the Idaho border at Weston. Many residents commute to USU, the Logan medical corridor, or the cheese and ag processing plants in Smithfield and Richmond.
What price range should I expect for acreage here? ▾
Smaller 1-2 acre home sites with a modest house generally trade in the mid $400s to high $600s, while larger working farms with outbuildings and water can run $900K to $2M+ depending on tillable ground and improvements. Bare land without water shares is considerably cheaper per acre than irrigated pasture.
Is well and septic standard out here? ▾
Yes. Cornish has no municipal water or sewer, so nearly every property runs on a private well and septic system. Budget for a well flow test and septic inspection during your contingency period, and check the well log for depth and water quality history.
