Homes with Acreage for Sale in Millcreek, Utah
Larger lots are the exception in Millcreek, not the rule. The city was mostly platted in the 1950s and 60s on quarter-acre footprints, and infill has tightened things further over the last decade. When an acreage property does come up here, it's usually one of two things: a foothill lot above Wasatch Boulevard in Olympus Cove or Canyon Cove, where the land climbs toward Mount Olympus and views stretch across the Salt Lake Valley, or an original legacy parcel down on the valley floor near 3300 South or Evergreen Avenue, where a mid-century rambler still sits on a half-acre or more of mature trees and lawn.
Buyers gravitate to Millcreek acreage for the same reasons people pay a premium to live here in the first place — 15 minutes to downtown Salt Lake, quick access to Millcreek Canyon for hiking and trail running, Granite School District, and walkable pockets like Millcreek Common. The extra land buys privacy, room for a shop or detached studio, garden space, and in the foothills, a buffer of open hillside behind the house. Inventory turns over slowly, so it pays to watch new listings closely and know what each pocket of the city tends to deliver in terms of lot shape, slope, and usability.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Millcreek.
How much land typically counts as an acreage property in Millcreek? ▾
On the Millcreek MLS, acreage listings generally start around a half-acre and go up to roughly two acres, with most falling between 0.5 and 1 acre. True multi-acre parcels are rare inside city limits because Millcreek is largely built out — the bigger lots tend to sit east of 2300 East, climbing toward the foothills and Mount Olympus.
Which Millcreek neighborhoods have the largest lots? ▾
Olympus Cove, Mount Olympus, Canyon Cove, and the streets above Wasatch Boulevard hold most of the bigger parcels. You'll also see some legacy half-acre-plus lots in Millcreek proper along 3300 South and near Evergreen, where mid-century homes were built on generous footprints before the area densified.
Can I keep horses or livestock on acreage in Millcreek? ▾
Millcreek's zoning is mostly residential, and animal rights vary by parcel. A handful of foothill lots carry agricultural or equestrian provisions, but most acreage buyers here are after privacy, gardens, and room for outbuildings rather than livestock. Always confirm the specific zoning and any HOA rules with the listing agent before writing an offer.
What do acreage homes in Millcreek typically cost? ▾
Expect a meaningful premium over standard Millcreek pricing. Half-acre to one-acre homes commonly run from the high $900s into the $2M+ range depending on location, age, and views, with foothill properties above Wasatch Boulevard pushing higher. Updated homes on flat, usable land near Millcreek Canyon sell fastest.
Are acreage lots in Millcreek on culinary water and sewer or wells and septic? ▾
Almost all Millcreek acreage is on city culinary water and connected to public sewer — this isn't a rural well-and-septic market. Some foothill parcels carry secondary irrigation shares or private springs for landscaping, which is worth asking about since outdoor watering on a large lot adds up quickly.
How close are these larger-lot homes to downtown Salt Lake? ▾
Millcreek sits about 15 minutes south of downtown Salt Lake City and roughly 20 minutes from the SLC airport via I-215. Even the foothill acreage above Olympus Cove is a quick drive to Holladay shops, Cottonwood Heights, and the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon for skiing.
