Homes with Acreage for Sale in Gusher, Utah
Gusher is a small unincorporated community in Duchesne County, strung along US-40 between Roosevelt and Vernal in the heart of the Uinta Basin. This is high desert country at roughly 5,000 feet, with cold winters, hot dry summers, and the kind of wide-open sagebrush and irrigated pasture that draws buyers wanting real elbow room. Acreage properties here aren't a luxury upgrade — they're the default. Most homes sit on at least a couple of acres, and parcels of 5, 10, 20, or 40+ acres come on the market regularly, often with a mix of irrigated ground, outbuildings, and shares in local irrigation companies like Moon Lake or Dry Gulch.
Buyers shopping acreage in Gusher tend to fall into a few groups: families wanting to keep horses or run a small herd of cattle, oilfield and energy workers who want a shop and space for equipment, and folks moving out of the Wasatch Front looking for a slower pace within reach of Vernal's services and the Uintas' fishing, hunting, and trail access. Water rights, septic and well condition, zoning, and pasture quality matter more here than finish work or HOA aesthetics — and the right property can pay for itself in hay or grazing leases.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Gusher.
How much land typically comes with an acreage property in Gusher? ▾
Listings in the Gusher area usually run from 2 acres up to 40+ acres, with a lot of properties sitting in the 5-to-20 acre range. Larger parcels often include a mix of irrigated pasture, dry grazing land, and frontage along the Lake Fork or Uinta River drainages. Anything above 40 acres tends to be working ag ground rather than a residential setup.
Do these properties usually come with water rights? ▾
Many do, and water rights are arguably the most valuable part of any acreage purchase in Duchesne County. Look for shares in Moon Lake Water Users Association or Dry Gulch Irrigation, plus any decreed well rights. Always have your agent confirm the share count and delivery schedule in writing before closing — verbal assurances don't transfer with the deed.
Can I run livestock on acreage in Gusher? ▾
Yes. Most parcels outside the small platted areas of Gusher are zoned agricultural or rural residential, which allows horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and poultry. Stocking rates depend on whether your pasture is irrigated — irrigated ground in the Uinta Basin generally supports one animal unit per 1.5 to 2 acres, while dry ground needs significantly more.
What utilities should I expect on a rural Gusher property? ▾
Power through Moon Lake Electric is widespread, but most acreage homes run on private wells and septic systems rather than municipal services. Natural gas service is hit-or-miss this far out, so propane tanks and wood stoves are common backup heat sources. Internet has improved with fixed wireless and Starlink, though fiber is still limited.
How far is Gusher from larger towns and services? ▾
Gusher sits along US-40 about 12 miles east of Roosevelt and roughly 20 miles west of Vernal, putting full grocery, medical, and hardware within a 15-to-25 minute drive. Salt Lake City is about 2.5 hours west over Daniels Summit. The Roosevelt Municipal Airport handles general aviation, and the closest commercial flights are out of Vernal Regional.
What price range should I plan for? ▾
Smaller acreage homes (2-5 acres) in the Gusher area generally trade in the mid $300s to low $500s depending on the house condition and outbuildings. Properties with 10+ acres, water rights, and a shop or barn typically run $500K to $800K, and full working operations push higher. Bare land without a home is a separate market and prices by the acre plus water shares.
