Horse Properties for Sale in Cedar Fort, Utah
Cedar Fort is one of the last genuinely rural pockets within reasonable driving distance of the Wasatch Front, which is exactly why it keeps showing up on the short list for buyers who want real horse property without giving up access to Lehi, Saratoga Springs, or the Salt Lake City airport. Tucked against the west side of the Oquirrh Mountains in Cedar Valley, the town has fewer than 500 residents, wide-open sightlines across sage flats, and the kind of dark night skies you can't get anymore in Eagle Mountain or Herriman. Most horse parcels here sit on 2 to 20 acres, with a mix of irrigated pasture, dry grazing land, and direct access to BLM ground for trail riding straight from the barn.
The trade-offs are honest ones. Cedar Valley is in a state-designated critical groundwater area, so water rights and well shares are a meaningful part of every transaction — buyers should read the water disclosure as carefully as the home inspection. Winters bring cold valley-floor temperatures and wind, summers are dry and dusty, and the nearest full-service feed and vet options are in Lehi or Eagle Mountain. For the right buyer — someone who actually rides, trains, or breeds and wants room to do it — none of that is a deal-breaker.

Common questions
About horse properties in Cedar Fort.
How much acreage do horse properties in Cedar Fort typically include? ▾
Most equestrian parcels in Cedar Fort run between 2 and 20 acres, with a fair number of larger 40-plus acre spreads pushing up against the foothills. Smaller in-town lots on Cedar Fort Main Street sometimes include a half-acre to an acre with a corral and tack shed, while properties out toward Faust or the Cedar Valley floor tend to be much bigger.
Is water a concern for keeping horses out here? ▾
Yes — Cedar Valley sits in a critical groundwater management area, so water rights matter. Many horse properties rely on a private well with a specific share allocation, and irrigation water for pasture is limited. Always verify water rights, well log, and any secondary water shares before writing an offer.
Are there zoning rules about how many horses I can keep? ▾
Cedar Fort is in unincorporated Utah County with A-20 and A-40 agricultural zoning across most parcels, which is generally permissive for livestock. Animal unit limits scale with acreage, and accessory structures like barns, arenas, and loafing sheds are typically allowed. Confirm the specific zoning on any parcel with Utah County Planning before closing.
What's the commute like from a Cedar Fort horse property? ▾
Cedar Fort sits on the west side of the Oquirrhs, roughly 25 minutes to Lehi via SR-73 and about 45–55 minutes to downtown Salt Lake City depending on Point of the Mountain traffic. Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs are 15–20 minutes away for groceries, feed stores, and vet services. It's rural, but not isolated.
Where can I ride from the property? ▾
Trail access is one of the real draws here. The Oquirrh foothills, Five Mile Pass OHV area, and the open BLM land west of town give riders thousands of acres of direct-access terrain. Many properties back to open range, so you can saddle up at the barn and ride out without trailering.
What price range should I expect? ▾
Entry-level horse properties with a modest home and a few acres usually start in the mid $600s to low $700s. Larger custom builds on 10–20 acres with barns, indoor arenas, and full equestrian setups can run from $1.2M to north of $2M. Bare land with water rights still trades in the low-to-mid six figures depending on acreage and improvements.
