Homes with Acreage for Sale in Fairfield, Utah
Fairfield sits in Cedar Valley on the west side of the Oquirrh Mountains, about 25 minutes from Lehi and roughly an hour from Salt Lake City International. It's one of the last pockets along the Wasatch Front where five, ten, and twenty-acre parcels still trade hands regularly — the town itself has fewer than 200 residents, and most of the surrounding land is zoned A-20 or RR-5 through Utah County. Buyers here are typically looking to keep horses, run a small hobby farm, build a shop, or just put real distance between themselves and the next neighbor. The terrain is high-desert flat with sagebrush and grass, big sky, and clear sightlines to the Oquirrhs to the east and the Lake Mountains to the north.
Acreage in Fairfield comes with practical questions most Wasatch Front buyers haven't had to think about: water rights, well depth (often 300–600 feet in this valley), septic feasibility, and whether power runs to the parcel or needs to be brought in. Camp Floyd State Park and the Pony Express route are right in town, Eagle Mountain's shopping is 15 minutes northeast, and the new Facebook/Meta data center and the Tesla Megapack facility have brought jobs within commuting range. Winters are cold and windy out in the valley, summers run hot and dry. Browse the active acreage listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Fairfield.
How much land do homes in Fairfield typically sit on? ▾
Most acreage listings in Fairfield fall in the 5 to 40 acre range, with a fair number of 1–5 acre lots closer to the original townsite and larger 40–160 acre parcels out toward Cedar Pass and the Sheeprock foothills. Utah County's RR-5 and A-20 zoning sets the minimums for much of the area, which is why true large-lot inventory is more consistent here than in Saratoga Springs or Eagle Mountain.
Do Fairfield acreage properties come with water rights? ▾
Some do, some don't — it has to be verified parcel by parcel through the Utah Division of Water Rights. Many homes rely on a private well with a domestic water right (typically allowing irrigation of a quarter to one acre), while larger ag parcels may carry shares from local irrigation companies. If you plan to pasture horses or run livestock, confirming the water right before you write an offer is essential.
Is the land suitable for horses and livestock? ▾
Yes — Fairfield is one of the more horse-friendly areas in Utah County. The flat terrain, low population density, and A-20 zoning make it practical for pastures, arenas, barns, and outbuildings. Just keep in mind that natural forage is sparse in Cedar Valley's high-desert climate, so most owners supplement with hay and rely on irrigated pasture where water rights allow.
What's the price range for acreage homes in Fairfield right now? ▾
Pricing varies widely based on improvements, water, and acreage. Smaller homes on 1–5 acres often run in the upper $500Ks to $800Ks, while custom homes on 10+ acres with shops, wells, and water rights commonly land in the $900K to $1.6M range. Raw land without a home trades separately and can range from $40K to $80K+ per acre depending on access and utilities.
How is the commute to Lehi, the tech corridor, or Salt Lake? ▾
Fairfield to Silicon Slopes in Lehi runs about 25–30 minutes via Redwood Road or SR-73 through Eagle Mountain. Downtown Salt Lake is roughly 55–65 minutes depending on traffic at the Point of the Mountain. Most residents accept the drive as the trade-off for land, quiet, and dark skies — there's no public transit out here.
What should I check on utilities before buying acreage here? ▾
Confirm well depth and gallons-per-minute on existing wells, or get a quote for drilling a new one (Cedar Valley wells commonly run 300–600 feet). Verify septic approval with the Utah County Health Department, check whether Rocky Mountain Power lines reach the building site, and ask about internet — Starlink and fixed wireless are common since fiber coverage is spotty outside the town core.
