Homes with Acreage for Sale in North Salt Lake, Utah
North Salt Lake sits on the eastern bench of Davis County, tucked between the Wasatch foothills and the shore of the Great Salt Lake, roughly 10 miles north of downtown Salt Lake City. That geography is the whole story when it comes to acreage here: the hillside terrain creates natural lot variation, and the city's mix of older agricultural parcels and newer custom-home subdivisions means genuine acreage properties still surface on the MLS — something you won't find often in the flatland suburbs directly south. Homes with acreage in North Salt Lake typically range from half-acre estate lots in neighborhoods like Eaglewood and the upper Fox Hills benches, up to multi-acre parcels along the steeper hillside roads where city services thin out and the views of the Salt Lake Valley open up dramatically. Prices for acreage properties generally start in the low-to-mid $700,000s for a half-acre-plus home and can push well past $1.2M for larger parcels with custom builds and valley or lake panoramas.
For buyers who want breathing room without leaving the Wasatch Front, North Salt Lake delivers a genuinely rare combination: a 15-minute commute to Salt Lake City, access to Davis County's well-regarded school district, and enough land to add a shop, a garden, animals in some zones, or simply a meaningful buffer from the next-door neighbor. The city's zoning is not blanket rural — lot-size minimums and permitted uses vary by zone, so verifying what a specific parcel allows before writing an offer matters here more than in a standard subdivision. If gardening, RV storage, or keeping small livestock is part of the plan, those details are worth confirming early. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in North Salt Lake.
How much land typically comes with an acreage listing in North Salt Lake? ▾
Most parcels marketed as acreage here fall between half an acre and five acres. Anything above five acres is uncommon because the city is bordered by Salt Lake City, Bountiful, and the foothills, leaving little room for true ranch-sized lots. Larger parcels show up most often on the upper bench above Eaglewood or along older Orchard Drive holdings.
Can I keep horses on acreage in North Salt Lake? ▾
Some properties are zoned to allow horses and other livestock, particularly the older lots along Orchard Drive and certain unincorporated pockets nearby. Zoning is parcel-specific, though, so confirm animal rights and setback rules with North Salt Lake City planning before writing an offer. HOA-governed subdivisions on the bench usually prohibit livestock entirely.
What's the price range for acreage properties here right now? ▾
Expect the high $700s for a modest home on half an acre without views, mid-$1M to $2M for newer bench homes on an acre or more with valley and lake views, and $2M+ for custom estates with usable flat land. View corridor and slope drive pricing as much as square footage does.
Are water rights included with acreage parcels? ▾
It depends entirely on the parcel. Older properties off Orchard Drive sometimes carry shares in irrigation ditches dating back to the original orchards, while newer bench subdivisions are culinary-only. Always ask the listing agent for a water rights disclosure and verify shares with the relevant irrigation company before closing.
How is the commute from North Salt Lake acreage to downtown SLC or the airport? ▾
Downtown Salt Lake is about 10 minutes via I-15 or Beck Street, and Salt Lake International is roughly 15 minutes. Bench properties add a few minutes coming down Eaglewood Drive or Highway 89, but it's still one of the shorter commutes you'll find anywhere in Utah on a parcel of meaningful size.
What should I know about building or expanding on a bench acreage lot? ▾
Slope is the big one — many bench parcels have geotechnical and grading requirements, and some sit in designated landslide or fault-study zones along the Wasatch fault. Budget for a soils report, retaining walls, and longer permitting timelines if you plan to add a shop, ADU, or pool to a sloped lot.
