Homes with Acreage for Sale in Price, Utah
Price sits in Carbon County at the mouth of the Book Cliffs, where the high desert meets the coal-country foothills along US-6. Acreage here means something different than it does in Heber or Park City — land is genuinely affordable, water rights still trade hands with deeds, and a 5-acre parcel with a shop, a few outbuildings, and irrigation shares routinely sells for less than a tract home in Lehi. Most rural listings cluster around Wellington, Carbonville, the Cleveland-Elmo bench, and the stretch along the Price River, where Carbon Canal Company shares feed pasture and hay ground. Zoning outside city limits is forgiving: horses, cattle, chickens, and small commercial operations are common, and septic-and-well setups are the norm once you're a few miles from town.
Buyers shopping acreage in Price tend to fall into a few camps — families wanting room for animals and shop space, energy and mining workers who want to be near the job without HOA fences, and remote workers cashing out of Wasatch Front equity for ten times the land. Winters are milder and drier than the Uinta Basin, summers run hot but not St. George hot, and the elevation around 5,500 feet keeps nights cool. USU Eastern, the regional hospital, and a steady mix of rail, mining, and energy employers anchor the local economy. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market, and pay close attention to water shares and outbuilding details — those line items often matter more than square footage out here.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Price.
How much acreage typically comes with rural homes in Price? ▾
Listings in Carbon County commonly range from 1-2 acre hobby parcels up to 20-40 acre spreads on the outskirts toward Wellington, Helper, and the Cleveland-Elmo bench. Larger working parcels of 80+ acres show up periodically, often with water shares on the Price River or Carbon Canal.
Do acreage properties in Price usually include water rights? ▾
Many do, but it varies parcel by parcel. Irrigation shares through Carbon Canal Company or Price River Water Improvement District are the most common, and they're a major value driver. Always verify share counts and whether they convey with the deed before writing an offer.
Can I keep horses or livestock on acreage near Price? ▾
Yes — most parcels outside city limits sit in agricultural or rural residential zoning that allows horses, cattle, sheep, and poultry. Inside Price city limits the rules tighten, so confirm zoning with Carbon County or the city planning office based on the specific address.
What's the price range for acreage homes in the Price area? ▾
Smaller 1-5 acre homes typically run from the mid $300s to low $500s depending on condition and outbuildings. Larger working properties with shop space, barns, and irrigated pasture can push into the $600s-$800s, which is still a fraction of what comparable acreage costs along the Wasatch Front.
Is well water or culinary water more common on rural Price parcels? ▾
It depends on location. Parcels closer to town usually tie into Price River Water Improvement District culinary lines, while more remote properties toward Nine Mile Canyon or the East Carbon side often rely on private wells or cisterns. Septic systems are standard outside city limits.
How far is Price from Salt Lake City and the nearest airport? ▾
Price sits about 120 miles southeast of Salt Lake City via US-6, roughly a two-hour drive. The regional Carbon County Airport handles general aviation, and SLC International is the closest commercial hub. Many buyers commute to mining, energy, or USU Eastern jobs locally rather than making the SLC trip.
