Homes with Acreage for Sale in Smithfield, Utah

Smithfield sits at the north end of Cache Valley, about 10 miles from Logan and roughly 90 minutes from Salt Lake City via US-91 and I-15. Acreage properties here tend to cluster on the east bench against the Bear River Range and out west toward the farmland that runs along the Cub River and toward Amalga. East-side parcels often come with irrigation shares from Smithfield Irrigation Company, gravity-fed pasture water, and views straight up Smithfield Canyon. Western parcels are flatter, generally on better soil for hay and row crops, and frequently carry larger water rights tied to the canal systems that have been farmed for over a century. Lot sizes on the MLS here typically run from 1-acre hobby setups to working 10-40 acre operations, with the occasional larger ranch on the edges of town.

Zoning matters more than square footage on these listings. Smithfield City's RE (Rural Estate) and A (Agricultural) zones allow horses, chickens, and other livestock at varying densities, while properties just outside city limits fall under Cache County agricultural zoning with fewer restrictions. Sky View High School and the new Cache County secondary boundaries draw families who want pasture without giving up a short school commute. Winters bring real snow — Cache Valley sees temperature inversions and routine sub-zero nights in January — so barns, frost-free hydrants, and heated tack rooms show up in property descriptions for a reason.

Common questions

About homes with acreage in Smithfield.

How much acreage do I need in Smithfield to keep horses?

Inside Smithfield city limits, the RE zone generally allows one horse per half-acre of pasture after the home's footprint, and the A zone is more permissive. Properties in unincorporated Cache County around Smithfield have looser density rules. Always confirm the current zoning and any conditional use requirements with Smithfield City or Cache County planning before writing an offer.

Do acreage properties in Smithfield come with water rights?

Many do, but not all. East-bench parcels often carry shares in Smithfield Irrigation Company, while western farm ground may have shares tied to the Logan, Hyde Park & Smithfield Canal or private ditches. Water shares transfer separately from the deed, so verify share count, delivery schedule, and assessment fees during due diligence.

What's the price range for acreage homes in Smithfield right now?

Smaller 1-3 acre homes with a house typically run in the upper $600s to low $900s depending on home size and condition. Working parcels of 10+ acres with outbuildings, water shares, and pasture can stretch well past $1.5M. Bare ground without a residence trades on a per-acre basis that varies sharply between irrigated and dry land.

Can I run a small farm or sell produce from a Smithfield acreage property?

Agricultural use is allowed in the A and RE zones, and roadside produce stands are common up and down US-91 in Cache Valley. Commercial operations, CSA pickups, and agritourism can require a conditional use permit. Check with Smithfield City planning if you plan to do anything beyond personal-use farming.

How is winter on a Smithfield acreage — what should I plan for?

Cache Valley gets cold. January lows routinely drop below zero during inversions, and snow can sit on pastures from December through March. Plan on frost-free hydrants, heated stock tanks, a tractor or ATV with a plow, and shelter for any livestock. Hay storage capacity for a full winter is standard out here.

Are there acreage properties close to Sky View High and the Smithfield schools?

Yes. The east bench above 200 East and the areas around Birch Creek put families within a 5-10 minute drive of Sky View, North Cache, and Summit Elementary while still offering 1-5 acre lots. Larger working acreage tends to sit farther west toward Amalga and Newton, which adds a few minutes to the school run.
