Homes with Acreage for Sale in Mapleton, Utah
Mapleton sits at the south end of Utah County, tucked against Maple Mountain and the mouth of Hobble Creek Canyon, and it's one of the few Wasatch Front cities that has consciously protected its rural feel as Utah County has boomed. Acreage here isn't a marketing label — it's the actual character of the town. Drive east of Main Street and lots open up to a full acre, two acres, sometimes five, with horse pastures, fruit orchards left over from the old Mapleton farms, and irrigation ditches still running off the Strawberry Highline system. Zoning in much of the city (RA-1, RA-2, and the A-2 agricultural zones) specifically allows horses, chickens, and small livestock, which is why so many families end up here after outgrowing quarter-acre lots in Lehi or Saratoga Springs.
Buyers shopping acreage in Mapleton are usually weighing a specific tradeoff: more land and animal rights, in exchange for a slightly longer commute to Silicon Slopes or downtown Salt Lake. The payoff is real — Wasatch views from the east bench, quick access to Hobble Creek Canyon for trail riding and fly fishing, and Nebo School District schools that consistently rank well. Prices reflect the scarcity; large parcels in Mapleton typically command a premium over comparable square footage in Spanish Fork or Salem. Browse the active acreage listings below to see what's currently on the market, and check lot size, water shares, and zoning carefully — those three details drive value here more than finishes do.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Mapleton.
How much land typically comes with an acreage home in Mapleton? ▾
Most acreage listings in Mapleton run from half an acre up to about five acres, with a smaller pool of larger parcels on the east bench and toward Maple Mountain. Lots over five acres tend to sit in the foothills or along the irrigation corridors near Hobble Creek.
Does Mapleton allow horses and livestock on residential acreage? ▾
Yes. Mapleton has kept much of its agricultural character, and most properties zoned RA-1, RA-2, or A-2 permit horses, chickens, and other livestock with acreage minimums per animal. Always confirm the specific zoning and animal-unit rules with Mapleton City before writing an offer.
Is irrigation water included with acreage properties here? ▾
Many Mapleton acreage parcels carry shares in Mapleton Irrigation Company or Strawberry Highline, which is a real value-add for pasture, orchards, or large lawns. Shares don't always transfer automatically, so the title company and listing agent need to confirm what conveys with the deed.
What's the price range for acreage homes in Mapleton? ▾
Homes on an acre or more generally start in the high $800Ks for older ramblers on irrigated lots and climb past $2M for newer custom builds on the east bench with Wasatch views. Larger horse properties with outbuildings and arenas often land in the $1.5M to $3M range.
How far is Mapleton from Provo, Salt Lake, and the airport? ▾
Downtown Provo and the BYU area are about 15 minutes north via I-15 or 1600 North. Salt Lake City and SLC International run roughly an hour up the freeway, and Sundance and the Provo Canyon recreation areas are 20 to 30 minutes away.
Are new acreage subdivisions still being built in Mapleton? ▾
Yes, though inventory is tightening as the city pushes against its eastern boundary and the foothills. Newer developments near 2000 East and along the bench continue to plat larger lots, while infill parcels in the older grid sometimes come available when long-time owners sell family land.
