Horse Properties for Sale in Erda, Utah
Erda sits in the north end of Tooele Valley, roughly 35 minutes west of downtown Salt Lake City once you clear the Bauer exit on I-80. It's one of the few remaining pockets along the Wasatch Front where 1-to-5 acre parcels with water rights, loafing sheds, and pipe-fenced paddocks are still the norm rather than the exception. The town incorporated in 2022 largely to protect that rural character, and the current general plan keeps minimum lot sizes generous, which is exactly why horse owners priced out of Bluffdale, Erda's old rival Stansbury Park, or the south end of Salt Lake County keep landing here. Views run east to the Oquirrhs and west to the Stansbury Range, and the wind off the Great Salt Lake is real — barns and arenas get sited accordingly.
Horse properties in Erda generally fall into three buckets: smaller 1-2 acre homes with a barn and turnout, mid-size 3-5 acre setups with arenas and irrigated pasture, and full ranches running 10+ acres with shop space and multiple outbuildings. Water rights matter enormously here — some parcels carry Settlement Canyon shares or secondary irrigation, others rely on a domestic well with limited livestock allowance, and that difference can swing value by six figures. Trail access into the Stansbury foothills is close, and Deseret Peak Complex in Tooele hosts arena events most weekends. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market, and ask for the water rights detail on anything that catches your eye.

Common questions
About horse properties in Erda.
What lot size do I need to keep horses in Erda? ▾
Most of Erda sits on parcels of 1 acre or larger, with many properties in the 2-5 acre range and some ranches running 10+ acres. Tooele County zoning in the Erda area (largely RR-1 and RR-5) allows horses by right on these lots, though the exact number of animals permitted scales with acreage. Always verify current animal-unit rules with Tooele County Planning before closing.
Is there water available for pastures and livestock? ▾
Water rights are the single biggest variable in Erda horse property pricing. Some parcels include shares in Settlement Canyon or secondary irrigation, others rely solely on a domestic well with limited livestock watering rights. Ask the listing agent for a copy of the water rights and well log before writing an offer.
How far is Erda from horse events and trails? ▾
Erda is about 10 minutes north of Tooele and 35-40 minutes from the South Jordan equestrian facilities. The Stansbury Mountains and Oquirrh foothills offer direct trail access, and the Deseret Peak Complex just west in Tooele hosts rodeos, barrel racing, and arena events year-round.
What do horse properties in Erda typically cost? ▾
Pricing varies widely based on acreage, water, and improvements. Smaller 1-2 acre homes with a basic barn often land in the upper $600Ks to $800Ks, while full equestrian setups with arenas, multiple stalls, and irrigated pasture on 5+ acres can run well past $1.2M. Bare horse-ready land still trades when it comes up.
What outbuildings are common on Erda horse properties? ▾
Typical setups include a loafing shed or 2-4 stall barn, tack room, hay storage, and pipe or no-climb fenced paddocks. Larger ranches often add a covered or outdoor arena, round pen, and a separate shop for trailers and equipment. Wind is a real factor here, so look at how structures are sited and braced.
Will Erda stay rural as Tooele Valley grows? ▾
Erda incorporated as a city in 2022 specifically to control growth and protect its agricultural and large-lot character. The general plan favors keeping minimum lot sizes high, which is part of why horse buyers are paying a premium to land here rather than in faster-developing parts of the valley.
