Horse Properties for Sale in West Jordan, Utah
West Jordan sits on the southwest edge of the Salt Lake Valley, against the Oquirrh Mountains, and it's one of the few cities this close to downtown SLC where you can still own a horse on your own land. The western half of the city — roughly west of Bangerter Highway out toward the Mountain View Corridor — was farm and ranch land within recent memory, and pockets of agricultural zoning (A-1, A-5) survived the suburban buildout. That's where most equestrian parcels show up today: half-acre to five-acre lots with barns, loafing sheds, riding arenas, and pasture, often within sight of the Oquirrhs to the west and the Wasatch to the east.
What makes West Jordan work for horse owners is the mix of practical access and rural feel. You're 25 minutes from downtown Salt Lake, 20 minutes from the SLC airport, and right next door to South Jordan's Salt Lake County Equestrian Park, which hosts shows and offers arena rentals year-round. Trail riding in Butterfield Canyon and along the Jordan River Parkway is close by. Buyers should pay attention to secondary water rights, zoning per-parcel (it changes block to block), and setback rules for barns and corrals — West Jordan is stricter than unincorporated county land.

Common questions
About horse properties in West Jordan.
Where in West Jordan are most horse properties located? ▾
The bulk of equestrian-zoned parcels sit on the west and south sides of the city, particularly around 9000 South west of Bangerter, the Oquirrh foothills near U-111, and pockets along New Bingham Highway. These areas were historically agricultural and still allow larger animal counts per acre under West Jordan's A-1 and A-5 zoning.
How much land do I need to keep a horse in West Jordan? ▾
West Jordan generally requires a minimum of a half-acre for one horse, with additional animals requiring more land based on zoning designation. A-1 zones allow more livestock density than R-1 lots with equestrian rights. Always verify the specific parcel's zoning with West Jordan Planning before writing an offer, since rules can vary block to block.
Are there riding trails or arenas nearby? ▾
Yes. The Jordan River Parkway has equestrian-friendly sections, and many owners trailer out to the Oquirrh foothills or Butterfield Canyon for open riding. Salt Lake County's Equestrian Park in South Jordan, just minutes away, hosts shows, rodeos, and has indoor and outdoor arenas available to rent.
What do horse properties in West Jordan typically cost? ▾
Pricing varies widely based on acreage and improvements. Smaller half-acre setups with a basic barn often run in the high $700Ks to low $900Ks, while multi-acre properties with arenas, multiple stalls, and updated homes can push past $1.5M. Location relative to Bangerter Highway and the Mountain View Corridor affects value significantly.
Is water for pasture and livestock an issue here? ▾
Many older West Jordan equestrian parcels carry secondary (irrigation) water shares through Welby-Jacob or similar systems, which is essential for keeping pasture green through the dry Wasatch Front summers. Confirm water shares transfer with the property — it's one of the most overlooked items in horse property contracts.
How close are veterinarians and feed stores? ▾
Mountain West Animal Hospital and several large-animal vets serve the southwest valley, and IFA Country Store on Redwood Road plus Cal Ranch in nearby Riverton handle feed, tack, and supplies. Most owners can reach a vet, farrier, or feed run within 15 minutes.
