Homes with Acreage for Sale in Downey, Utah
Quick note before you scroll: Downey is technically just over the Utah line in Bannock County, Idaho, sitting in Marsh Valley between the Bannock Range and the Portneuf foothills. It shows up in northern Utah acreage searches because I-15 runs straight through town, Logan is under an hour south, and the land economics feel a lot more like Cache Valley than like central Idaho. Buyers looking at acreage here are usually weighing it against Cornish, Lewiston, and Portage on the Utah side — similar agricultural character, often more land for the dollar once you cross the state line.
Acreage around Downey breaks into a few real categories: smaller 1 to 5 acre rural home sites near the town grid, 10 to 40 acre hobby farms with irrigation off Marsh Creek or canal shares, and bigger dryland and grazing parcels climbing toward Oxford Peak and Old Tom Mountain. Winters are cold and snowy (valley floor around 4,800 feet), summers are dry and warm, and the growing season is shorter than St. George but workable for hay, alfalfa, and pasture. Water rights, well status, septic approval, and whether power is already to the building envelope matter far more here than square footage or finishes. Browse the active acreage listings below to see what's currently on the market, and reach out if you want help comparing a Downey parcel to similar ground on the Utah side of the border.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Downey.
Wait — is Downey in Utah or Idaho? ▾
Downey is actually a small town in Bannock County, Idaho, about 30 minutes south of Pocatello and roughly 20 minutes north of the Utah state line near Malad. Buyers shopping the Cache Valley and northern Utah MLS often pull Downey listings because the area trades and commutes overlap with Logan and Tremonton. If you specifically want Utah-side acreage, look at Cornish, Lewiston, Clarkston, or Portage just across the border.
What size parcels are typical around Downey? ▾
Listings tend to cluster in a few bands: 1 to 5 acre rural residential lots near town, 10 to 40 acre hobby farms in the Marsh Valley bottoms, and larger 80+ acre dryland or grazing tracts up against the Bannock Range. Irrigated ground commands a meaningful premium over dryland.
Is the land irrigated, and what about water rights? ▾
Some parcels carry shares in local canal companies or have decreed surface rights off Marsh Creek and its tributaries; others rely solely on a domestic well. Water rights in Idaho do not automatically transfer with the deed, so confirm shares, priority dates, and beneficial use in writing before you remove contingencies.
Can I run livestock or build outbuildings on these properties? ▾
Most acreage outside Downey city limits sits in Bannock County agricultural or rural residential zoning, which allows horses, cattle, chickens, and ag outbuildings without much friction. Setbacks and septic approval drive most build decisions. Verify zoning and any CC&Rs on subdivided parcels before assuming you can put up a shop or a second dwelling.
How far is Downey from Logan, Pocatello, and Salt Lake City? ▾
Downey is about 55 miles north of Logan, 30 miles south of Pocatello, and roughly 130 miles north of Salt Lake City via I-15. The interstate runs right past town, which is a big reason buyers commuting to Pocatello or ID/UT border jobs consider acreage here over pricier Cache Valley ground.
What should I budget for acreage with a livable home here? ▾
Pricing moves with acreage, water, and home condition, but a modest house on 5 to 10 acres often lands in the mid-$400s to low-$700s, while larger irrigated farms with updated homes push past $1M. Bare land without power or a well runs considerably less per acre than parcels already set up to build.
