Horse Properties for Sale in Kaysville, Utah
Kaysville sits at the base of the Wasatch in southern Davis County, about 20 minutes north of Salt Lake City and 15 minutes south of Ogden, and it has held onto its agricultural roots better than most Wasatch Front cities. The east bench neighborhoods above Highway 89 — areas around Mutton Hollow, Crestwood, and the Fruit Heights border — still have larger lots zoned for livestock, and you'll see pastures backing up to subdivisions full of newer construction. Horse properties in Kaysville typically run from 0.5 acre setups with a loafing shed and a small paddock up to 2-5 acre operations with barns, arenas, and direct access to the foothill trail system that connects into the Wasatch National Forest.
What makes Kaysville work for horse owners is the combination of zoning, water, and location. Davis County's R-A and A-1 zones allow horses on properties generally a half-acre or larger (check the specific parcel — Kaysville City and unincorporated Davis County rules differ), secondary irrigation from Weber Basin keeps pasture costs reasonable, and you're still inside a commutable radius for jobs in Layton, Salt Lake, and Hill AFB. Snowbasin and Powder Mountain are 30-40 minutes east, and the Legacy Parkway gets you to downtown SLC without I-15 traffic. Prices on equestrian acreage here generally start around the high $700Ks for smaller setups and climb past $1.5M for full barn-and-arena properties on the bench.

Common questions
About horse properties in Kaysville.
What's the minimum lot size to keep a horse in Kaysville? ▾
Kaysville City generally requires a half-acre minimum for one horse, with additional acreage required per additional animal, and the property must be in a zone that permits livestock (typically R-A, A-1, or certain RR zones). Parcels in unincorporated Davis County around Kaysville follow county rules, which can be slightly different. Always verify zoning and any HOA restrictions on the specific parcel before writing an offer.
Which Kaysville neighborhoods have the most horse properties? ▾
The east bench above Highway 89 — including pockets near Mutton Hollow Road, the Crestwood area, and the Kaysville/Fruit Heights boundary — has the highest concentration of acreage zoned for horses. You'll also find equestrian setups in the older agricultural parcels west of Main Street, though those areas are seeing more subdivision pressure.
Is there trail access for riding directly from these properties? ▾
Yes — homes on the east bench often have access to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail and the foothill trail network that runs north toward Farmington and south toward Kaysville's reservoirs. Some properties back directly to open space or BLM-adjacent land, which is a significant value-add for riders who don't want to trailer out every time.
How does secondary water work for pasture irrigation? ▾
Most of Kaysville is served by Weber Basin Water Conservancy District for secondary (untreated) irrigation, which runs roughly April through October. Shares are typically tied to the property and the cost is far lower than using culinary water. Confirm the share allocation during due diligence — it directly affects how much pasture you can keep green.
What do horse properties in Kaysville typically cost? ▾
Smaller setups on a half to one acre with basic shelter generally start in the high $700Ks to low $900Ks. Properties with 2-5 acres, a real barn, fenced pastures, and an arena commonly run $1.2M to $1.8M+, with bench-view parcels at the upper end. Condition of outbuildings and water rights heavily influence price.
Can I build a barn or arena on an existing horse property? ▾
Usually yes, subject to Kaysville City or Davis County building permits, setback requirements, and lot coverage limits. Covered arenas often require engineered plans and may have height restrictions depending on zone. If outbuildings already exist, verify they were permitted — unpermitted structures are common on older agricultural parcels and can complicate financing and resale.
