Homes with Acreage for Sale in Fruit Heights, Utah
Fruit Heights sits on the eastern bench of Davis County, perched between the Wasatch Mountains and the busy I-15 corridor, at elevations ranging from roughly 4,600 to 5,000 feet. That bench-land geography is exactly why homes with acreage here carry a different character than large-lot properties down in Kaysville or Layton below. Parcels often slope gently up toward the foothills, delivering unobstructed views of the Great Salt Lake to the west and the Wasatch Range directly behind. The city is intentionally small — around 5,000 residents — and zoning has historically favored lower density, which means genuine acreage lots exist but turn over slowly. When they do hit the market, they tend to attract buyers who want elbow room without sacrificing access to top-tier Davis County schools, the Farmington Station Park retail corridor just minutes away, and a roughly 25-minute commute to Salt Lake City International Airport via I-15.
Acreage properties in Fruit Heights typically range from half-acre horse-eligible parcels near the city's upper streets to 1–3 acre estate lots along the foothills fringe. Prices for these homes generally run $650,000 to well over $1 million depending on lot size, square footage, and view orientation — a meaningful premium over the Davis County median, but one that reflects the scarcity of true land in a city that has little room left to grow. Buyers focused on large animals, hobby farming, or simply a significant private yard will find the inventory here genuinely limited, so setting up alerts is worth the effort.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Fruit Heights.
What lot sizes count as 'acreage' in Fruit Heights? ▾
In Fruit Heights, the term is generally applied to properties sitting on half an acre or more, though many buyers are specifically targeting 1-acre-plus parcels. The city's R-1 zoning tiers allow for larger minimum lot sizes on the upper bench streets, which is where most true acreage listings are concentrated. Anything under a half-acre tends to be marketed as a large lot rather than acreage.
Can I keep horses or livestock on an acreage lot in Fruit Heights? ▾
Fruit Heights city code does permit horses and certain livestock on qualifying parcels, but the lot must meet minimum size thresholds and setback requirements — typically at least one acre for equine use. Buyers with animals should confirm the specific zoning designation and any HOA covenants directly before making an offer, since some upper-bench subdivisions have CC&Rs that are more restrictive than city code alone. A quick call to Fruit Heights City (801-546-0861) can clarify allowable uses for a specific parcel address.
How does Fruit Heights' elevation affect properties with acreage compared to other Davis County cities? ▾
At 4,600–5,000 feet, Fruit Heights sees meaningfully more snow than Kaysville or Layton in the valley floor — typically 60–70 inches annually — which matters for owners maintaining larger lots, long driveways, and outbuildings. The trade-off is a noticeably cooler summer (highs averaging in the mid-80s°F versus low-90s lower down), which makes expansive outdoor spaces genuinely usable from May through October. Irrigation water from the Fruit Heights Irrigation Company serves many of the older acreage lots, which helps manage large-parcel landscaping costs.
Are there water rights attached to acreage parcels in Fruit Heights? ▾
Some older acreage lots in Fruit Heights do carry secondary irrigation water shares through the Fruit Heights Irrigation Company, which is a significant asset for buyers planning orchards, pasture, or large landscaping. However, not every parcel includes shares — they can be transferred separately from the real estate title — so buyers should specifically ask what irrigation rights, if any, convey with the sale. Your agent should request documentation of any water shares as part of due diligence.
How often do homes with acreage come up for sale in Fruit Heights? ▾
Inventory is genuinely thin. Fruit Heights is a built-out, slow-turnover city of roughly 5,000 people, and acreage lots represent a small slice of an already small housing stock. In most years, fewer than a handful of true acreage properties change hands, which means buyers shouldn't wait to act when the right listing appears. Setting an MLS alert for Davis County acreage properties filtered to Fruit Heights is the most reliable way to catch new listings quickly.
What price premium should I expect for acreage in Fruit Heights versus a standard lot? ▾
Acreage homes in Fruit Heights typically start around $650,000–$750,000 for modest half-to-one-acre parcels and can push well past $1 million for estate-sized lots with significant Wasatch or Great Salt Lake views. Comparable homes on standard quarter-acre lots in the same city often list in the $500,000–$650,000 range, so expect a rough 15–30% premium depending on lot size, usable flat land versus slope, and view orientation. That gap has remained fairly consistent because the supply of large parcels is structurally constrained by the city's geography and build-out status.
