Homes with Acreage for Sale in Syracuse, Utah
Syracuse sits on the west side of Davis County between Antelope Island and the Wasatch Front, and it's one of the last spots in the corridor where you can still find homes on a half-acre, full acre, or larger parcel without driving an hour from Salt Lake. The city grew out of farmland — old hay fields, dairy operations, and family homesteads along Bluff Road and 2000 West — and a lot of those larger lots are still intact, often with secondary water shares attached for irrigating pasture, gardens, or orchards. Buyers looking at acreage here are typically a mix: families who want room for chickens, horses, or a shop; folks priced out of bigger lots in Kaysville or Farmington; and people who want quick access to I-15, Hill Air Force Base, and the Legacy Parkway while still having space between neighbors.
Expect a wide price range. Newer builds on an acre in the Bluff or Bluff Ridge areas can push well past $1M, while older ramblers on similar lots — built in the 70s and 80s with mature trees and outbuildings — often come in lower and trade on land value. Zoning matters: parts of Syracuse allow horses and livestock at one animal unit per half acre, and many parcels carry Weber Basin secondary water, which keeps irrigation costs reasonable through the summer. Browse the active acreage listings below to see what's currently on the market and how lot sizes, water rights, and outbuildings compare across the city.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Syracuse.
How much land counts as an acreage property in Syracuse? ▾
On the Syracuse MLS, most agents tag anything from about a half-acre up through multi-acre parcels as acreage, since true large-lot land is increasingly rare in Davis County. Listings of one acre or more are the sweet spot for buyers who want horses, a shop, or a hobby farm. Anything over three acres in Syracuse city limits is uncommon and tends to move quickly.
Can I keep horses or livestock on an acreage lot in Syracuse? ▾
Yes, in most of the residential-agricultural and large-lot zones. Syracuse generally allows one animal unit per half acre, so a one-acre lot can support two horses or an equivalent mix of livestock, subject to setback rules for barns and corrals. Always confirm the specific zoning on a parcel with Syracuse City Planning before writing an offer if animals are the priority.
Do acreage homes in Syracuse come with secondary water? ▾
Most do. Weber Basin and Davis & Weber Counties Canal Company secondary water is widespread on the west side of Syracuse, and shares are typically attached to the property and conveyed at closing. Secondary water is what makes irrigating a pasture or large lawn affordable here — culinary water alone would be cost-prohibitive in summer.
What price range should I expect for a home on an acre in Syracuse? ▾
As a rough guide, older homes on an acre often list in the high $700s to low $900s depending on condition and outbuildings, while newer custom builds on an acre regularly cross $1.2M and up. Parcels with horse setups, large shops, or views toward Antelope Island carry a premium. Lot value alone on a flat, buildable acre in Syracuse is significant.
Are there still buildable acreage lots, or is it mostly resales? ▾
Both, but inventory is tight. A handful of subdivisions on the west and north sides of Syracuse still release one-acre and half-acre lots, and occasionally an older homestead gets subdivided. Most acreage activity, though, is resales of existing homes on legacy parcels from when Syracuse was farm country.
How's the commute from a Syracuse acreage property to Salt Lake or Hill AFB? ▾
Hill Air Force Base is about 10–15 minutes via Antelope Drive or I-15. Downtown Salt Lake runs roughly 35–40 minutes off-peak using Legacy Parkway, which keeps semi-truck traffic off the route. That commute access is a big part of why acreage in Syracuse holds value compared to similar lots further north or out in Tooele County.
