Horse Properties for Sale in Farmington, Utah
Farmington has held onto its horse-country character better than almost any other Davis County city. Drive east of Highway 89 toward the Wasatch foothills and the lots stretch out — pasture fencing, loafing sheds, riding arenas, and barns sit a few minutes from Station Park shopping and the FrontRunner commuter rail. The east-bench neighborhoods around Compton Road, 1525 North, and the older streets feeding into Farmington Canyon are where most equestrian acreage trades hands, with parcels ranging from a half-acre with a small barn up to five-plus acre estates backing directly to BLM and Forest Service ground. Riders can leave the property and connect to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail without ever loading a trailer.
What makes Farmington work for horse owners is the combination most Wasatch Front cities can't offer: agricultural zoning still on the books, secondary irrigation water through Weber Basin, and a 20-minute drive to downtown Salt Lake or the airport. Summers are dry and warm (low 90s in July), winters are mild enough that turnout stays practical, and the foothill setting gives natural drainage that flat valley properties lack. Buyers typically come from two camps — families relocating from Utah County or out of state who want acreage without losing city services, and longtime Davis County residents trading up into a property where the kids can keep 4-H animals.

Common questions
About horse properties in Farmington.
Can I actually keep horses on a residential lot in Farmington? ▾
Yes, but it depends on the zone. Farmington's A (Agricultural) and AE (Agricultural Estates) zones allow horses, and some older RE (Residential Estates) lots are grandfathered. The general rule is one horse per half-acre of pasture, but always verify with Farmington City Planning before writing an offer — zoning has tightened as the city has grown.
Which Farmington neighborhoods are best for horse properties? ▾
The east bench above Highway 89, the older sections of Farmington west of Main Street, and pockets near 1525 North and Shepard Lane still have acreage parcels with barns, loafing sheds, and pasture. Compass Rose and some lots near the mouth of Farmington Canyon also retain horse rights. Newer PUDs in west Farmington near Station Park generally do not.
What do horse properties in Farmington typically cost? ▾
Expect a meaningful premium over standard Davis County homes. Lots with one to two usable acres, a home, and existing horse setup generally run from the high $900s into the $1.5M–$2M range depending on improvements, water shares, and view. True estate parcels on the east bench can push higher.
Do horse properties come with irrigation water? ▾
Most established horse parcels in Farmington include secondary or pressurized irrigation through Weber Basin or Benchland Water, and some carry shares in Farmington Creek or local irrigation companies. Water shares add real value for pasture irrigation, so confirm what conveys with the property and what the annual assessment runs.
How close are trails and arenas? ▾
Farmington Canyon and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail are accessible directly from the east bench for trail riding. The Legacy Events Center in Farmington has indoor and outdoor arenas, and the Davis County Fairgrounds host shows and rodeos. Most owners can trailer to a riding venue in under 15 minutes.
Are there restrictions on barns, riding arenas, or manure management? ▾
Setbacks for barns and corrals from property lines and neighboring dwellings are enforced, and manure storage has to be managed to avoid runoff into Farmington Creek and other waterways. Personal-use arenas are generally allowed on agricultural-zoned parcels. Check with Farmington City and the Davis County Health Department for current setback distances before building.
