Homes with Acreage for Sale in Roosevelt, Utah
Roosevelt sits at the heart of the Uinta Basin, roughly 150 miles east of Salt Lake City along US-40, and the surrounding high desert terrain makes acreage properties here a genuinely different proposition than what you'd find along the Wasatch Front. Elevation hovers near 5,100 feet, which means four real seasons — warm, dry summers that top out in the low 90s and winters cold enough to freeze a water line if you're not prepared. Lot sizes on the market often run anywhere from two or three acres up to 20-plus, and many parcels back up to rangeland or agricultural fields, giving owners a working sense of space that smaller suburban lots simply can't replicate. The Duchesne County agricultural heritage runs deep here, so it's common to find properties already fenced for horses or livestock, outfitted with irrigation water rights, or sporting a shop building sized for equipment rather than just weekend projects.
Buyers drawn to acreage in Roosevelt typically fall into a few clear camps: small-scale ranchers and hobby farmers who want room for animals and hay production, remote workers who moved out of the Wasatch corridor and want a larger footprint for a lower price per square foot, and energy-sector employees working the Uinta Basin's active oil and gas fields who want land without the commute to a full ranch. Median home prices in Roosevelt run well below the state average, and acreage properties generally stay priced below comparable parcels in Summit or Wasatch counties — making land ownership realistic rather than aspirational for many buyers. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently available and how lot sizes, water rights, and outbuildings compare across active listings.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Roosevelt.
How much land do acreage listings in Roosevelt typically include? ▾
Most acreage properties around Roosevelt fall between 1 and 10 acres, with a smaller pool of larger ranches in the 20 to 160-acre range out toward Neola, Myton, and Altamont. Parcels under 5 acres are often residential with room for horses or a shop, while anything over 10 acres usually includes irrigation rights and hay ground.
Do these properties usually come with water rights? ▾
Many do, but not all. Irrigation shares tied to Moon Lake Water Users Association or the Uintah Indian Irrigation Project are common on agricultural parcels, and they transfer separately from the deed in some cases. Always ask for the water-share certificate and confirm the delivery schedule before writing an offer.
Can I keep horses, cattle, or other livestock on acreage near Roosevelt? ▾
Yes, in almost all cases. Duchesne County zoning outside city limits is agricultural or rural-residential, and livestock is expected rather than restricted. Inside Roosevelt city limits the rules tighten, so confirm the specific zoning on any parcel that sits close to town.
Are most acreage homes on well and septic? ▾
Outside the city core, yes — culinary wells and conventional septic systems are the norm. Lenders will typically require a well flow test and a septic inspection during the contract period, and it's worth asking how deep the well is and what the static water level looks like through the irrigation season.
What's the price range for acreage homes in Roosevelt right now? ▾
As a rough guide, smaller acreage homes (1-3 acres) tend to list in the $350K-$550K range, while larger working parcels with shops, barns, or substantial water rights can run $700K to well over $1M. The active listings below show current pricing, which moves with the basin's oil and gas economy.
How far is Roosevelt from Salt Lake City and the nearest major airport? ▾
Roosevelt is roughly 150 miles from Salt Lake City via US-40, about a 2.5-hour drive in good weather. The Roosevelt Municipal Airport handles general aviation, and Vernal Regional sits 30 miles east, but commercial flights still mean a trip to SLC.
