Homes with Acreage for Sale in Franklin, Utah
Franklin sits right on the Idaho-Utah line at the north end of Cache Valley, and most buyers searching the Utah MLS for acreage "in Franklin" are really shopping the cluster of farming communities that share its character — Richmond, Lewiston, Cornish, and Trenton on the Utah side, with Franklin itself a few minutes north across the state line. This is irrigated hay country: flat to gently rolling ground fed by the Cub River and Bear River drainages, dairy operations still running, and the Wellsville Mountains rising to the west. Lot sizes here actually mean something. A 5-acre parcel with water shares can run horses, a small cattle operation, or a serious garden and orchard, which is why families priced out of smaller lots along the Wasatch Front keep migrating north.
Winters are cold and snowy — Cache Valley regularly logs single-digit lows and heavy January inversions — while summers stay dry and warm in the 80s, ideal for hay cuttings and pasture. Logan and Utah State University sit 15-20 minutes south, Preston Idaho is 10 minutes north, and Salt Lake City is about 90 minutes down I-15. Buyers here are typically looking for water rights, outbuildings, fencing, and zoning that allows livestock, not just square footage. Inventory turns over slowly compared to bigger Utah markets, so working parcels with senior water shares tend to move quickly when they hit.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Franklin.
How much land typically comes with an acreage property near Franklin? ▾
Most acreage parcels in the Franklin area run from 1 to 5 acres for residential lots, with working agricultural properties stretching to 20, 40, or more acres. Larger hay and pasture ground tends to sit east toward the foothills and south along the river bottoms. Pricing scales with water rights and irrigation access more than raw acreage.
Wait — Franklin is in Idaho, not Utah. Are these listings actually in Utah? ▾
Correct, the town of Franklin sits just over the Idaho line in Franklin County, Idaho. If you're searching Utah MLS for acreage in this area, you're likely looking at Cache Valley properties on the Utah side — Richmond, Lewiston, Cornish, and Trenton — which share the same farming character and are minutes from Franklin. The listings below reflect that border-region inventory.
Do acreage properties here come with water rights? ▾
Many do, but never assume. Cache Valley parcels often carry shares in local irrigation companies like Cub River, Twin Lakes, or Richmond Irrigation, and those shares are what make pasture and hay ground actually usable. Always verify share counts, delivery schedules, and whether the rights transfer with the deed before writing an offer.
Can I keep horses, cattle, or other livestock on these properties? ▾
Yes — most parcels of an acre or more in this part of Cache Valley allow horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, and similar livestock under county zoning. Animal unit limits depend on acreage and the specific zone (A-10, RA, etc.). Subdivisions with HOAs are the main exception, so check CC&Rs on any lot inside a platted development.
How far is the commute to Logan or Salt Lake from acreage in this area? ▾
Richmond and Lewiston sit about 15-20 minutes north of Logan on US-91, and Logan itself is roughly 90 minutes to downtown Salt Lake via I-15. Buyers working at USU, ICON, or Schreiber Foods handle the Logan commute easily, while SLC commuters tend to be remote or hybrid given the drive.
What should I budget for an acreage home in the Franklin/north Cache Valley area? ▾
Smaller homes on 1-2 acres generally trade in the mid $400s to low $600s, while updated farmhouses on 5-10 acres with outbuildings and water typically run $700K to $1.1M. True working farms with significant irrigated ground, shops, and barns can exceed $1.5M. Outbuilding quality and water rights move the needle more than square footage.
