Horse Properties for Sale in Cedar Hills, Utah
Cedar Hills is a tight, mostly built-out bench community tucked between Highland, Pleasant Grove, and the foot of Lone Peak in northern Utah County. It was incorporated around the Cedar Hills Golf Club and grew quickly through the 2000s, which means the majority of lots here are suburban quarter-acre parcels rather than the large equestrian tracts you'll see in Alpine or Cedar Fort. True horse properties exist, but they're concentrated in the older eastern sections closer to the foothills and along the city's boundary with Highland, where lot sizes stretch to an acre or more and zoning still permits livestock. Expect to compete for them — turnover is low because owners with usable acreage and Wasatch views tend to stay put.
Buyers shopping this filter should pay close attention to zoning code, irrigation shares, and outbuilding setbacks before falling for a listing. Cedar Hills allows horses only on properly zoned lots, and the city's animal ordinance specifies minimum acreage per animal, fencing standards, and manure management. The payoff for getting it right is real: trail access into American Fork Canyon and the Lone Peak Wilderness is minutes from the front gate, the Murdock Canal Trail runs along the south edge of town, and you're still 35 minutes from Salt Lake International and 20 minutes from Silicon Slopes employers in Lehi. Browse the active equestrian-friendly listings below, and reach out if you'd like help sorting which ones actually carry the zoning and water rights to support horses.

Common questions
About horse properties in Cedar Hills.
Does Cedar Hills actually allow horses on residential lots? ▾
Yes, but only in specific zones. Cedar Hills permits horses on lots zoned for equestrian use, typically requiring a minimum of one acre with one horse allowed per half-acre beyond that. Most horse-friendly parcels sit in the older sections near the foothills and along the Pleasant Grove border. Always verify zoning and the current animal ordinance with the city before writing an offer.
How many true horse properties typically come up for sale in Cedar Hills? ▾
Very few. Cedar Hills is a small city of roughly 10,000 residents on about 3.5 square miles, and most lots are under a quarter acre. Genuine horse properties with proper acreage and outbuildings usually number in the single digits annually, which is why buyers often expand their search to neighboring Highland, Alpine, and Cedar Fort.
What price range should I expect for a horse property here? ▾
Acreage parcels with a home and equestrian setup in Cedar Hills generally start around $1.4M and climb past $3M for newer custom builds with barns, arenas, and Wasatch views. The land component drives most of the premium since flat, usable acreage near the Cedar Hills Golf Club and the bench is limited.
Where can I ride locally? ▾
Riders use the trail network heading up American Fork Canyon, the Bonneville Shoreline Trail along the foothills, and the dirt roads through the Lone Peak Wilderness access points. The Murdock Canal Trail also runs nearby, though it's primarily for bikes and pedestrians, not horses.
Is water available for pasture irrigation? ▾
Most equestrian-zoned properties carry shares of pressurized irrigation water through the local irrigation company, which is separate from culinary water. Confirm the share count on any listing — irrigation rights significantly affect what you can keep green through July and August when culinary water restrictions tighten.
What about winter? Can horses stay out year-round? ▾
Cedar Hills sits at roughly 4,900 feet and gets real winters with snow and overnight lows in the teens. Most owners run a three-sided run-in shelter at minimum, and barns with frost-free hydrants are standard on the higher-end properties. Pastures go dormant from November through April, so hay storage matters.
