Homes with Acreage for Sale in West Jordan, Utah
West Jordan grew up fast. What was farmland and pasture along the Jordan River thirty years ago is now a city of roughly 117,000 people sitting between Bingham Canyon and the river bottoms. That history matters when you're hunting for acreage here, because most of the larger parcels left in town are holdovers from the old agricultural west side — pockets near 9000 South, around the Gardner Village area, and along the bench up toward the Oquirrh foothills. Lot sizes of a half-acre to two-plus acres do still trade in West Jordan, but they're a small slice of the market compared to neighbors like Herriman or Riverton, so when one comes on the MLS it tends to move.
Buyers shopping acreage in West Jordan are usually after a specific mix: room for a shop, RV parking, a few horses or 4-H animals, or just a yard the kids and dogs can actually run in — all while keeping a 25-minute commute to downtown Salt Lake and quick access to Mountain View Corridor and Bangerter Highway. Water rights, secondary irrigation shares (many older parcels are on the Utah & Salt Lake Canal system), zoning for animals, and septic vs. city sewer are the four things worth checking on every listing, since they vary block by block in the older parts of town. Browse the active acreage listings below to see what's currently on the market, and reach out if you'd like help pulling water and zoning records on a specific property.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in West Jordan.
How much acreage can I realistically find in West Jordan? ▾
Most acreage listings here run from a half-acre up to about two acres, with the occasional three- to five-acre parcel on the older west side or along the Jordan River. Anything larger than five acres is rare inside city limits — if you need more, Herriman, Bluffdale, and Riverton are the next places to look.
Can I keep horses or livestock on acreage in West Jordan? ▾
It depends on the zoning of the specific parcel. A-1 and A-5 agricultural zones allow horses and most livestock, while many R-1 lots cap you at chickens or limited animals even if the lot is large. Always confirm the zone with West Jordan Planning before writing an offer if animals are the goal.
Do these properties usually have secondary water for irrigation? ▾
Many of the older acreage parcels carry shares in the Utah & Salt Lake Canal Company or another local irrigation system, which is a big cost saver for watering pasture, gardens, or a large lawn. Shares don't always transfer automatically with the deed, so make sure the title work spells out exactly what conveys.
Are acreage homes in West Jordan on septic or city sewer? ▾
It's a mix. Newer subdivisions and most parcels east of Bangerter are on city sewer, while some of the older homes on the west side and near the river still run on septic. Septic systems need a transfer inspection in Salt Lake County, so budget for that and any potential drainfield work.
What price range should I expect for an acre-plus property here? ▾
Pricing swings widely based on the home and outbuildings, but acreage properties in West Jordan generally start in the high $700s and run well past $1.5M for updated homes with shops, pastures, and water rights. Land value alone on a usable acre near the foothills regularly clears $400K.
How does the commute work from West Jordan acreage neighborhoods? ▾
Mountain View Corridor and Bangerter Highway both cut through the city, putting downtown Salt Lake about 25 minutes away and the SLC airport around 30. The TRAX Red Line also has stops at 9000 South and Sugar Factory Road, which is handy if one spouse commutes downtown while the other works from the property.
