Homes with Acreage for Sale in Holladay, Utah
Holladay sits on the east bench of the Salt Lake Valley, roughly fifteen minutes from downtown and twenty-five from the SLC airport, with Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons rising directly behind it. What makes acreage here unusual is the context: most of the surrounding valley got chopped into quarter-acre subdivisions decades ago, but Holladay held onto pockets of larger lots — Walker Lane, Holladay Hills, the streets east of Highland Drive, and the corridors along Big Cottonwood Creek. Many of these parcels date back to mid-century estates built when this was orchard country, and the mature cottonwoods, sycamores, and irrigation ditches are still part of the landscape. Buyers shopping acreage in Holladay are usually trading sheer square footage for privacy, gated drives, room for a pool and sport court, and the rare combination of in-town convenience with a property line you can't see across.
Expect a price floor that reflects the scarcity. Homes on a half-acre or more typically start in the high seven figures and climb quickly when the home itself has been renovated or rebuilt. Zoning runs primarily R-1-43 with some equestrian legacy lots, so confirm with Holladay City before assuming you can add an ADU, barn, or guest house. Cottonwood-Holladay schools feed into Olympus and Skyline, both well-regarded within Granite School District.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Holladay.
How much land typically qualifies as an acreage property in Holladay? ▾
In Holladay, anything from a half-acre up is considered generous given how built-out the east bench has become. True one-acre and larger parcels are concentrated in older estate pockets like Walker Lane, Holladay Hills, and the streets east of Highland Drive near Cottonwood Creek. Five-acre parcels exist but are rare and usually trade off-market or with quick competition when they hit the MLS.
What price range should I expect for a home on an acre or more here? ▾
Acreage homes in Holladay generally start in the $1.8M–$2.5M range for older homes on larger lots that may need updating, and run well past $5M for renovated or newly built estates. Lot size, frontage on Big or Little Cottonwood Creek, and proximity to Holladay Village all push pricing. Tear-downs on a full acre still command premium dirt value.
Can I keep horses or livestock on acreage in Holladay? ▾
Some of the older Walker Lane and Holladay Hills parcels carry legacy equestrian rights, and you'll see the occasional horse property tucked behind mature trees. Most of the city is zoned R-1-43 or similar residential, so livestock is limited. Always verify zoning and any conditional use permits with Holladay City before assuming you can build a barn or keep animals.
Are these larger lots on septic or city sewer? ▾
The vast majority of Holladay is on city sewer through the Cottonwood Improvement District. A handful of older acreage properties still operate on septic, particularly along the creek corridors. If septic comes up in disclosures, budget for an inspection and ask about the timeline for any future sewer connection requirements.
Which schools serve the acreage neighborhoods? ▾
Most of Holladay falls within Granite School District, with feeder patterns running to Cottonwood, Olympus, or Skyline High depending on the address. The Walker Lane and east-side acreage pockets typically feed Oakwood or Crestview Elementary, then Olympus Junior and Olympus High. Several private options including Rowland Hall and Waterford are also within a short drive.
How many acreage listings are usually active at one time? ▾
Inventory is thin. Holladay typically has only a handful of true acreage homes on the market at any given moment, sometimes just two or three. Setting up a saved search is worthwhile because well-priced larger parcels often go under contract within the first two weeks.
