Homes with Acreage for Sale in Mayfield, Utah
Mayfield is a small farming town tucked against the east bench of the Sanpete Valley, about two hours south of Salt Lake City and ten minutes off US-89 below Gunnison. Acreage here means something different than it does in Saratoga Springs or Heber — lots are genuinely agricultural, with water shares from the Gunnison Irrigation Company, established pasture, hay ground, and direct access to BLM and Manti-La Sal National Forest land out the back gate. The town itself has fewer than 500 residents, a single LDS chapel, and a K-6 elementary that feeds into Gunnison Valley Middle and High. Buyers come here for room to keep horses, run a few head of cattle, build shops and barns without an HOA breathing down their necks, and trade a long commute for genuine quiet.
Elevation sits around 5,500 feet, so you get four real seasons — cold winters with snow on the ground from December through February, mild springs, hot dry summers in the 90s, and crisp falls when the canyon maples turn. Most acreage parcels in and around Mayfield range from 1 acre on the town grid up to 40+ acre ranchettes pushing toward Twelve Mile Canyon and Funks Lake. Water rights, well status, and irrigation delivery schedules vary widely parcel to parcel and are worth asking about early.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Mayfield.
How much acreage do homes in Mayfield typically sit on? ▾
Most acreage properties in Mayfield range from 1 to 5 acres in town, with larger parcels of 10 to 40+ acres on the outskirts toward Twelve Mile Canyon and the Gunnison Reservoir area. Some listings include grandfathered water shares from the Gunnison Irrigation Company, which is a big deal for anyone planning pasture, alfalfa, or a garden.
Can I keep horses or livestock on Mayfield acreage? ▾
Yes. Sanpete County zoning around Mayfield is rural-agricultural, and horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, and other livestock are common and expected. Many parcels already have barns, loafing sheds, corrals, or hay storage in place, and the surrounding BLM and Forest Service land gives you direct riding access into the Wasatch Plateau.
Does the property come with water rights or irrigation shares? ▾
It varies listing by listing, and this is the single most important question to ask in Mayfield. Culinary water inside town comes from the municipal system, but irrigation water for pasture or crops requires shares — typically through Gunnison Irrigation. Always verify share count and delivery schedule with the listing agent before writing an offer.
What's the price range for acreage homes in Mayfield? ▾
Smaller homes on 1-2 acres in town generally run in the mid $300s to low $500s, while larger ranchettes with outbuildings and water can reach $600K-$900K+. Pricing is well below comparable acreage along the Wasatch Front, which is why buyers from Utah County and Salt Lake have started looking here.
How far is Mayfield from larger towns and services? ▾
Mayfield sits about 10 minutes south of Gunnison and 25 minutes from Manti, with Ephraim and Snow College roughly 40 minutes north. Provo is about 90 minutes via US-89, and Salt Lake City International is right at two hours. Groceries, fuel, and the hospital are in Gunnison.
Is high-speed internet available on rural Mayfield parcels? ▾
Central Utah Telephone and CentraCom serve much of the area with fiber or fixed wireless, and Starlink fills the gaps on more remote parcels. Confirm service at the specific address before closing if remote work matters — coverage can change parcel to parcel once you get up against the foothills.
