Multi-Family Homes for Sale in Fruitland, Utah
Fruitland is a small unincorporated community in western Duchesne County, sitting at about 6,600 feet along US-40 between Heber and Duchesne. The area is best known for Strawberry Reservoir, the surrounding Uinta National Forest, and recreational subdivisions like Timberlakes and Strawberry Highlands. Multi-family inventory here is genuinely rare — Fruitland's housing stock leans heavily toward single-family cabins, ranch parcels, and recreational lots on 1 to 40 acres. When duplexes, triplexes, or properties with a main house plus a legal accessory dwelling do come up, they tend to move quickly because investors looking for short-term rental income near Strawberry have very few options.
If you're shopping multi-family in Fruitland, expect rural realities: private wells and septic systems, propane heat, Moon Lake Electric service, and winter access that can be tricky on unpaved spur roads. The upside is real — nightly rental demand from anglers, snowmobilers, and Uinta Basin workers is steady, county-level short-term rental rules are friendlier than in Wasatch or Summit counties next door, and land values have held up well as the Heber Valley pushes east. Most buyers in this niche are looking at house-hack scenarios (live in one unit, rent the other) or small portfolio investors who want a recreational footprint with cash flow.

Common questions
About multi-family homes in Fruitland.
Are there actually duplexes or triplexes for sale in Fruitland? ▾
Multi-family inventory in Fruitland is thin — the area is dominated by single-family cabins, recreational lots in Strawberry Highlands and Timberlakes, and a few working ranches. When duplexes or small multi-unit properties do hit the market, they're often converted ranch buildings or owner-built structures rather than purpose-built apartment plexes. Check the active listings below to see what's currently available.
Can I run a multi-family property as a short-term rental near Strawberry Reservoir? ▾
Duchesne County is more permissive on short-term rentals than Wasatch or Summit counties, and the proximity to Strawberry Reservoir (about 10 minutes west) drives steady demand from anglers, snowmobilers, and ATV riders. Confirm zoning and any HOA rules in subdivisions like Timberlakes or Strawberry Highlands before you underwrite STR income — some private communities restrict nightly rentals.
What utilities should I expect on a Fruitland multi-family property? ▾
Most properties in the 84027 area are on private wells and septic systems rather than municipal water and sewer. For a multi-family setup, verify septic capacity matches the bedroom count for all units and that the well produces adequate gallons per minute. Propane is the standard heat source, and power is through Moon Lake Electric.
How does winter access affect multi-family rental income up here? ▾
Fruitland sits around 6,600 feet, and side roads off US-40 can require plowing from November into April. Year-round tenants are possible on properties close to the highway, but cabin-style multi-unit buildings deeper in Timberlakes may be seasonal. Factor plowing costs and access into your rental projections.
What's the price range for multi-family properties in this area? ▾
When small multi-family or multi-dwelling parcels come up around Fruitland, they typically run from the high $400s for a modest duplex on acreage up to $1M+ for ranch properties with a main house plus guest quarters or a second dwelling. Land value drives a lot of the price since lots of 1-5 acres are common.
Is Fruitland a reasonable commute to anywhere for long-term tenants? ▾
Heber is roughly 35 minutes west on US-40, Park City about 50 minutes, and Duchesne 20 minutes east. Long-term tenants tend to be remote workers, retirees, or people working in the Uinta Basin oil and gas industry. It's not a commuter market to Salt Lake — that drive runs 90+ minutes in good weather.
