Horse Properties for Sale in West Bountiful, Utah
West Bountiful sits in a narrow agricultural pocket between I-15 and the Great Salt Lake shorelands, and it's one of the few spots on the Wasatch Front where you can still keep horses on usable acreage within 15 minutes of downtown Salt Lake City. The western half of town — roughly west of 800 West, stretching toward Legacy Parkway — was historically dairy and pasture ground, and many of those original parcels remain zoned to allow large animals. Lots here tend to run from a half-acre up to two or three acres, often with mature cottonwoods, irrigation shares from Weber Basin, and existing barns, loafing sheds, or small arenas. The land is flat, the soil drains reasonably well, and winter snow loads are manageable compared to properties up the canyons.
Buyers drawn to horse properties in West Bountiful are usually weighing the same trade-off: they want enough room for two to four horses and a riding ring, but they aren't willing to commute from Morgan or Mountain Green. West Bountiful threads that needle. The Legacy Parkway Trail offers miles of crushed-gravel riding right out the back gate for some properties, and Davis County's larger equestrian facilities in Farmington are a short haul north. Schools fall under Davis School District, and the airport is roughly 15 minutes southwest. Inventory is genuinely limited — true horse-zoned parcels rarely hit the market in volume — so it pays to watch closely. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently available.

Common questions
About horse properties in West Bountiful.
What lot size do I need to keep horses in West Bountiful? ▾
West Bountiful's animal ordinance generally allows one large animal per half-acre, with most horse-zoned properties sitting on parcels of 0.5 to 2+ acres along the west side of town. Properties west of 800 West tend to have the larger lots and more permissive setups, including existing barns and loafing sheds. Always confirm current animal unit rules with West Bountiful City before writing an offer.
Are there riding trails or arenas nearby? ▾
The Legacy Parkway Trail runs along the western edge of town and connects into the Bountiful Pond and Great Salt Lake shorelands area, which many local owners use for conditioning rides. For arena work, riders typically haul to facilities in Farmington, Centerville, or out to the Legacy Events Center in Farmington, which hosts shows and clinics year-round.
How much do horse properties in West Bountiful typically cost? ▾
Pricing varies a lot with acreage and improvements, but most horse-capable homes here run from the upper $700Ks for a half-acre with basic outbuildings up past $1.5M for two-acre setups with newer barns, arenas, and updated homes. The flat, irrigated lots on the west side command a premium because true acreage inside city limits is increasingly rare.
Is irrigation water available for pastures? ▾
Many of the larger lots on the west side carry secondary water shares through Weber Basin or local irrigation companies, which is what keeps pastures green through July and August. Shares don't always transfer automatically with the sale, so verify water rights and delivery schedules during due diligence.
How's the commute to Salt Lake City from a West Bountiful horse property? ▾
Downtown Salt Lake is about 12 miles south via I-15 or Legacy Parkway, typically 20-25 minutes outside rush hour. The Salt Lake International Airport sits roughly 15 minutes southwest, which matters if you travel for shows or work. That commute combined with usable acreage is why West Bountiful holds its value with horse owners who still need to be close to the city.
Are there many horse properties on the market at any given time? ▾
Inventory is thin. West Bountiful only covers a few square miles, and the genuinely horse-zoned parcels with barns and pasture turn over slowly, often just a handful per year. Setting up MLS alerts is the practical way to catch them before they go under contract.
