Homes with Acreage for Sale in Grantsville, Utah
Grantsville sits at the north end of Tooele Valley, tucked under the Stansbury Mountains about 35 miles west of Salt Lake City. It's one of the few towns within reasonable commuting distance of the Wasatch Front where buyers can still pick up a house on one, five, or even ten-plus acres without paying Park City or Heber prices. The land here is high-desert benchland — sagebrush flats, alfalfa fields, and pasture running up toward South Willow Canyon — and the agricultural character is real, not decorative. Many parcels carry water shares from Grantsville Irrigation Company or Settlement Canyon, and zoning across much of the area (RR-1, RR-5, A-10) allows horses, cattle, chickens, and outbuildings as a matter of right.
Buyers looking at acreage in Grantsville generally fall into a few groups: horse owners who need turnout and a barn, families wanting room for a shop and toys, and folks leaving denser Salt Lake or Utah County neighborhoods for elbow room. The trade-offs are honest ones — winter wind off the lake bed, well and septic instead of city utilities on larger parcels, and a longer drive to Costco — but Grantsville schools are solid, the new Midvalley Highway has cut commute times meaningfully, and Tooele's hospital and shopping are ten minutes away. Browse the active acreage listings below to see what's currently on the market, including lot size, water rights, and outbuilding details for each property.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Grantsville.
How much land typically comes with an acreage property in Grantsville? ▾
Most acreage listings in Grantsville run from half-acre lots on the east side up through 5-acre parcels in the South Willow and Mormon Trail areas. Larger spreads of 10-40 acres show up periodically out toward the Stansbury foothills and along the west bench. True ranch parcels of 80+ acres are rarer and tend to sell quickly when they appear.
Can I keep horses and livestock on Grantsville acreage? ▾
Yes — Grantsville has a strong agricultural heritage and most properties zoned RR-1, RR-5, or A-10 allow horses, cattle, chickens, and other livestock with acreage minimums per animal unit. Check the specific zoning on any listing, since lots inside older city limits sometimes have tighter limits than county parcels just outside town.
What's the water situation for irrigating pasture or a hobby farm? ▾
Water rights are the single biggest variable on Grantsville acreage. Some properties include shares in Grantsville Irrigation Company or Settlement Canyon Irrigation, others rely on a private well, and some have neither. Always confirm what water rights, shares, or secondary water hookups transfer with the property before writing an offer — it materially affects both usability and value.
How far is Grantsville from Salt Lake City and the airport? ▾
Grantsville sits about 35 miles west of downtown Salt Lake City and roughly 40 minutes from SLC International via I-80 and SR-138. Tooele is 10 minutes east. The commute is one reason acreage buyers pick Grantsville over closer Wasatch Front towns — you get real land at a fraction of the per-acre cost without leaving practical driving range of the city.
What price range should I plan for? ▾
Smaller half-acre to 1-acre homes in Grantsville generally run in the mid $500Ks to low $700Ks depending on the house. Properties on 5 acres with a newer home and outbuildings often land between $800K and $1.3M, and larger ranch-style holdings with water rights can climb above $1.5M. Inventory shifts month to month, so the active listings below are the best read on current pricing.
Are there HOAs on Grantsville acreage properties? ▾
Most true acreage parcels in and around Grantsville are not in HOAs, which is part of the appeal — owners can build shops, barns, run livestock, and park RVs and trailers without architectural committees. A handful of newer subdivisions on the east side do have HOAs, so the listing detail will spell out whether dues apply.
