Homes with Acreage for Sale in Koosharem, Utah
Koosharem is a working ranch town tucked into Grass Valley between the Tushar Mountains and Fish Lake National Forest, and acreage here means something different than it does on the Wasatch Front. Properties typically come with irrigated pasture, water shares tied to Otter Creek or Koosharem Reservoir, and enough room to run cattle, keep horses, put up hay, or just have neighbors a half-mile away instead of fifteen feet. At roughly 6,900 feet elevation, the valley sees real winters with snow on the ground from December through March, cool summer nights in the 40s, and a short but productive growing season that favors grass hay, alfalfa, and hardy pasture grasses over gardens.
Buyers looking at land in Koosharem are usually after one of three things: a working small ranch, a recreational base camp near Fish Lake and the Monroe Mountain trail system, or a quiet rural homestead within reasonable driving distance of Richfield (about 35 minutes) for groceries, the hospital, and I-70 access. Sevier County zoning on most parcels allows livestock and outbuildings without much friction, but well capacity, septic feasibility, and deeded water shares vary lot to lot and deserve close attention before you write an offer.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Koosharem.
How much land typically comes with acreage properties in Koosharem? ▾
Parcels here commonly run from 1-5 acres on the edges of town up to 20, 40, or 80+ acres as you move toward Greenwich, Burrville, or the foothills. Larger working parcels with water rights and pasture do come up, but they sell fast when priced right. Expect a mix of irrigated bottom ground, dry pasture, and sage-and-juniper hillside.
Do these properties usually include water rights or shares? ▾
Many do — irrigation shares from Koosharem Reservoir and Otter Creek are tied to working ag parcels, and culinary water is often well-based. Always confirm the deeded share count and the well log before writing an offer, because water is what makes the land usable for hay, horses, or cattle in this valley.
What's the elevation and growing season like for someone planning to run animals or grow hay? ▾
Koosharem sits around 6,900 feet, so the frost-free window is short — roughly mid-June through early September. Grass hay and alfalfa do well on irrigated ground, but row crops are a stretch. Most owners run cattle, horses, or sheep and put up one to two cuttings of hay per season.
Are there zoning or building restrictions on rural acreage here? ▾
Koosharem is in Sevier County, and most acreage falls under A-5 or similar agricultural zoning that allows livestock, outbuildings, and a single-family residence. Subdividing is possible but tied to road frontage, water, and septic feasibility. Call the county planning office before assuming you can split a parcel.
How far is Koosharem from services and bigger towns? ▾
Richfield is about 35 minutes north over the pass and handles groceries, hospital, and Walmart-level shopping. Salt Lake is roughly 3 hours, Cedar City about 2 hours, and Fish Lake is 20 minutes south for fishing and snowmobiling. It's genuinely rural — plan trips, don't expect DoorDash.
What should I budget for an acreage property in Koosharem right now? ▾
Smaller homes on 1-5 acres generally trade in the $300K-$500K range, while updated homes with 20+ acres, water, and outbuildings can run $700K to well over $1M depending on shares and improvements. Bare land without a home is often $8K-$15K per acre for grazing ground, more for irrigated bottom land.
