Homes with Acreage for Sale in Tooele, Utah
Tooele Valley is one of the last places within commuting distance of Salt Lake City where buyers can still get real land under their feet. Sitting roughly 35 miles southwest of downtown SLC on the back side of the Oquirrh Mountains, Tooele and its neighbors — Erda, Stansbury Park, Grantsville, and Lake Point — give you space that simply doesn't exist in Draper or Lehi anymore. Acreage properties here typically range from 1-acre in-town lots up to 5, 10, or even 40-acre parcels in Erda and Rush Valley, often with water shares, secondary irrigation, detached shops, horse barns, and room for RVs, toys, and livestock. The valley floor sits around 4,300 feet, so you get four real seasons, snow in winter, and dry summer heat that's a few degrees cooler than the Salt Lake side.
Buyers drawn to land in Tooele usually want a few specific things: room for horses or 4-H animals, a shop big enough for a contracting business or hobby fleet, and zoning that doesn't dictate paint colors or fence heights. Erda especially has built a reputation as horse country, with established riding culture and parcels zoned RR-5 or larger. Just confirm water rights, well status, and septic condition early in the process — those details matter more out here than the kitchen finishes.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Tooele.
How much land typically comes with an acreage property in Tooele? ▾
Most acreage listings in the Tooele Valley run from 1 to 5 acres, with larger parcels of 10-40 acres showing up in Erda, Stansbury foothills, and out toward Rush Valley. Anything above 5 acres usually sits outside city limits on well and septic, while smaller 1-2 acre lots are more common in established Erda and Lake Point areas.
Can I keep horses or livestock on acreage in Tooele? ▾
Yes, most parcels of an acre or more in unincorporated Tooele County allow horses, chickens, and small livestock, and Erda specifically has a strong horse-property culture with riding trails and arenas on private lots. Always confirm the specific zoning (RR-1, RR-5, A-20) with Tooele County before you write an offer — city-limit parcels have tighter animal limits.
Is the water situation a concern on acreage out here? ▾
Water rights are the single biggest issue on Tooele County acreage. Many rural properties rely on a private well with a specific share allocation, and irrigation water from the Settlement Canyon or Grantsville reservoirs is tied to share certificates that transfer separately from the deed. Have your agent verify well log, water shares, and any secondary water connection before closing.
How far is acreage in Tooele from Salt Lake City? ▾
Tooele sits about 35 miles southwest of downtown Salt Lake City, roughly a 40-45 minute commute via I-80 and SR-36. Erda and Lake Point are even closer — Lake Point is about 25 minutes to the SLC airport, which is part of why those areas have grown so fast with commuters who want land without leaving the Wasatch Front job market.
What do acreage homes in Tooele generally cost? ▾
Pricing varies widely based on land size and improvements. A 1-2 acre home in town often falls in the mid $500s to low $700s, while a custom home on 5+ acres in Erda with outbuildings, a shop, or horse setup commonly runs $900K to $1.5M+. Raw land and fixer-uppers on larger parcels can come in lower if you're willing to build equity through improvements.
Are there HOA restrictions on Tooele acreage properties? ▾
Most true acreage lots in Erda, Stansbury Park's outer edges, and Rush Valley are not in HOAs, which is a big draw for buyers who want shops, RV parking, or livestock. Some newer rural subdivisions do carry CC&Rs limiting outbuilding size or animal counts, so review the recorded restrictions on any specific parcel before assuming you have free rein.
