Homes with Acreage for Sale in Fish Lake, Utah
Fish Lake sits at 8,800 feet in the Fishlake National Forest, about three and a half hours south of Salt Lake City and roughly an hour east of Richfield off Highway 25. This is high-country Utah — cold winters, short growing seasons, and summers that draw anglers chasing splake, mackinaw, and rainbow trout on Utah's second-largest natural mountain lake. Acreage here means something different than acreage in the Wasatch Front suburbs: most parcels are recreational or semi-rural holdings tied to cabin life, hunting access in the Fishlake and Plateau units, and proximity to the Paiute ATV Trail system that loops through Sevier, Piute, and Garfield counties.
Buyers shopping acreage in this corner of Utah generally fall into two camps: Wasatch Front families wanting a four-season cabin retreat on enough land for privacy, horses, or a shop, and out-of-state buyers drawn by the hunting tags and the lack of light pollution. Expect well-and-septic infrastructure rather than municipal utilities, snow loads that drive construction costs higher than valley builds, and CC&Rs in the platted subdivisions around the lake that can limit livestock or short-term rentals. Aspen groves, sage flats, and pine-covered slopes are the typical terrain, and views of Mytoge Mountain or the lake itself add real value when a parcel has them. Browse the active acreage listings below to see what's currently on the market around Fish Lake and the surrounding Sevier and Piute County areas.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Fish Lake.
How much land typically comes with an acreage property near Fish Lake? ▾
Parcels generally run from 1 to 40 acres, with cabin lots in subdivisions like Lakeview Estates and Mountain View typically sitting on 1 to 5 acres. Larger ranch-style holdings closer to Koosharem Valley or along the Fremont River corridor can stretch to 80 acres or more. True in-holdings inside the Fishlake National Forest boundary are rare and tightly regulated.
Can I build a primary residence on Fish Lake acreage, or are these cabin-only properties? ▾
It depends on the parcel and the county. Sevier and Piute County zoning allows year-round residences on most private acreage, but many subdivisions near the lake have CC&Rs that restrict use to recreational cabins. Snow loads, septic feasibility, and winter road maintenance also factor in — Highway 25 is plowed, but interior subdivision roads often are not.
Is water available, and what about wells on acreage parcels? ▾
Most Fish Lake area properties rely on private wells or shared culinary water systems, and Utah water rights are the limiting factor — not every parcel comes with a drillable right. Verify the water share situation before writing an offer. Septic systems are standard since there is no municipal sewer at this elevation.
What's the price range for acreage near Fish Lake right now? ▾
Raw recreational acreage typically runs $40,000 to $150,000 depending on access, views, and utilities. Improved properties with a cabin on 1 to 5 acres generally fall between $400,000 and $900,000, with larger ranch parcels and lakefront-adjacent holdings going higher. Inventory is thin — often only a handful of acreage listings are active at any time.
How accessible is Fish Lake acreage in winter? ▾
Fish Lake sits at roughly 8,800 feet, and winter brings 200+ inches of snow in heavier years. Highway 25 stays open, but many private roads inside subdivisions are not plowed, meaning snowmobile or UTV access from December through April. This is a real consideration if you want year-round use rather than a summer-and-fall cabin.
What can I actually do on the land — livestock, hunting, ATVs? ▾
Most acreage outside HOA subdivisions allows horses and small livestock under county ag zoning. The area sits inside premier elk and mule deer units (Fishlake, Plateau Boulder), and Paiute ATV Trail access from your own land is a major draw. Always confirm CC&Rs and Utah DWR unit boundaries before assuming hunting or grazing rights transfer with the deed.
