Homes with Acreage for Sale in Fremont, Utah
Fremont sits in the upper end of Wayne County along the Fremont River, tucked between Thousand Lake Mountain and the Awapa Plateau at about 7,000 feet of elevation. This is genuine rural Utah — a working agricultural valley where neighbors run cattle, cut hay, and irrigate from century-old ditch systems. Acreage properties here aren't suburban lots dressed up with a few extra feet; they're functional parcels with water shares, outbuildings, corrals, and room for horses, a shop, or a small herd. Buyers searching this filter are usually looking for something specific: irrigated pasture, a south-facing build site, frontage on the river, or enough ground to qualify for a greenbelt tax assessment.
The trade-off for that space is distance. Loa and Bicknell handle the basics, Richfield is the nearest full-service town about 40 minutes west, and the closest commercial airport is in Cedar City or Salt Lake. In exchange, you get dark skies, trout water minutes from the front door, Fishlake National Forest at your back, and Capitol Reef a short drive south. Winters are real — snow sticks, nights drop well below zero — so well depth, propane setups, and outbuilding insulation matter more here than they do along the Wasatch Front. Active inventory in Fremont turns slowly and parcels with strong water rights tend to move first when they do hit the market. Browse the current listings below to see what's available right now.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Fremont.
How much land typically comes with a Fremont home? ▾
Listings here commonly run from 1-2 acre horse-property parcels inside the small townsite up to 40-plus acre ranches stretching toward Thousand Lake Mountain and Boulder Mountain. Five to twenty acres is the most common range, often with a mix of irrigated pasture and dry sagebrush ground.
Does the acreage usually include water rights? ▾
Many Fremont parcels carry shares in the Fremont Irrigation Company or rights tied to the Fremont River, but it varies parcel by parcel. Always verify share counts, delivery schedule, and any well rights with the seller and the Utah Division of Water Rights before writing an offer — water is the single biggest value driver out here.
Can I run livestock or build a barn on these properties? ▾
Most acreage in Wayne County is zoned agricultural or rural residential, which generally allows horses, cattle, chickens, and outbuildings without heavy restrictions. Confirm specifics with Wayne County zoning, since setbacks and animal-unit limits differ between the Fremont townsite and unincorporated county ground.
What's the price range for acreage properties in Fremont right now? ▾
Smaller homes on a few acres often list in the $400K-$650K range, while larger ranches with updated homes, water rights, and outbuildings can push past $1M. Raw or partially improved land trades separately and tends to run $8K-$25K per acre depending on water and access.
How remote is Fremont — what's the drive to services? ▾
Fremont sits in Wayne County at roughly 7,000 feet elevation, about 15 minutes from Loa (county seat) and 30-40 minutes to Richfield for a Walmart, hospital, and I-70 access. Salt Lake City is roughly 3.5 hours north, and Capitol Reef National Park is about 45 minutes southeast.
What should I know about the climate before buying acreage here? ▾
Expect cold, snowy winters with subzero nights and short, mild summers — the growing season runs roughly mid-June through early September. Pasture irrigation is essential most years, and buyers planning orchards or gardens should plan for late frosts well into June.
