Horse Properties for Sale in Kamas, Utah
Kamas sits in a wide, irrigated valley at about 6,500 feet on the back side of the Wasatch, and it has been ranch and hay country for well over a century. That history is the reason horse properties here are the real thing rather than suburban hobby setups — most parcels come with irrigation shares from the Weber or Provo River systems, mature pasture, working barns, and zoning that actually accommodates livestock. Summit County's AG and RR zones around Kamas, Marion, Woodland, and Francis allow one horse per acre on most lots, and the larger spreads up Mirror Lake Highway or along the Upper Provo River regularly run 10 to 40+ acres with covered arenas, loafing sheds, and round pens already in place.
The trade-off for that authenticity is altitude and winter. Pasture season runs roughly mid-May through mid-October, so hay storage, heated waterers, and a wind-protected barn matter more here than in St. George or even Heber. The upside is summer: cool nights, long evenings, and direct access to Uinta National Forest trailheads at Soapstone, Norway Flats, and Mirror Lake. Park City's equestrian community is 20 minutes west, Salt Lake International is under an hour, and the valley still has working hayfields between the homesites. Listings range from 2-acre starter setups to legacy ranches with full water rights. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market in and around Kamas.

Common questions
About horse properties in Kamas.
How much land do I need in Kamas for horses? ▾
Summit County and Kamas City zoning generally allow horses on parcels of one acre or more, with stocking limits that scale with acreage — typically one horse per acre in the AG and RR zones. Larger spreads in Woodland, Francis, and Marion run 5 to 40+ acres and easily support multiple horses, hay storage, and arenas. Always verify the specific zoning and CC&Rs on any parcel before writing an offer.
Is irrigation water included with horse properties in the Kamas Valley? ▾
Many parcels carry shares in local irrigation companies like the North Kamas, South Kamas, or Beaver Creek systems, which is what makes pasture viable through the dry late summer. Shares transfer with the property but are listed separately on the deed, so ask the listing agent to confirm share count and delivery schedule. Properties without shares typically rely on well water, which has stricter use limits.
How long is the grazing season at 6,500 feet? ▾
Kamas sits high enough that usable pasture generally runs mid-May through mid-October, with snow on the ground much of the winter. Most owners run horses on irrigated pasture in summer and feed hay from covered storage November through April. Heated waterers and a wind-protected loafing shed or barn are close to mandatory.
How far is Kamas from major equestrian events and vet care? ▾
Kamas is about 20 minutes from Park City, 45 minutes from Salt Lake City, and roughly an hour from the Golden Spike Event Center in Ogden and the South Jordan Equestrian Park. Large-animal vets serve the valley out of Heber and Park City, and the Uinta National Forest trailheads at Soapstone and Mirror Lake Highway are right out the back door for trail riding.
What do horse properties in Kamas typically cost? ▾
Smaller 1–5 acre setups with a modest home and basic outbuildings generally start around $1.2M to $1.8M. Mid-range properties on 10–20 acres with a quality barn, arena, and updated home tend to run $2.5M to $5M. Legacy ranches with significant acreage, water rights, and custom equestrian facilities can exceed $10M, particularly in the Woodland and upper Provo River corridors.
Are there trail riding options directly from the property? ▾
Many parcels along the Weber River, in Woodland, and up Mirror Lake Highway have direct or near-direct access to Forest Service land, with thousands of miles of trail into the Uintas. In-town and subdivision properties usually require trailering to a trailhead, though the drive is short. If backcountry access matters, ask specifically about easements and adjacent public land before you buy.
