Horse Properties for Sale in Richmond, Utah

Richmond sits in the north end of Cache Valley, about 15 miles up Highway 91 from Logan and a straight shot to the Idaho line. It's a working agricultural town — dairy operations, hay ground, and Black Angus pasture still define the landscape — which is exactly why horse properties trade hands here without much drama. Lots tend to run from one usable acre on the edge of town up to 10–40 acre parcels along 200 East, Cherry Creek, and the benches toward High Creek Canyon. Zoning in Richmond City and the surrounding unincorporated Cache County land is generally permissive for livestock, and water rights from the Richmond Irrigation Company or shares in High Creek often come attached to the deed, which matters more than the house itself for serious horse owners.

Climate is high-desert mountain valley: cold, snowy winters with real January lows in the single digits, and dry summers in the mid-80s — meaning you'll want a loafing shed or covered arena, but pasture stays green with irrigation from May through October. Riding access is genuinely good. The Cache National Forest trailheads at High Creek and Cherry Creek are minutes from town, and the Bear River Range opens up hundreds of miles of trail. Most listings here include some combination of barn, tack room, fenced paddocks, and stock water, though condition varies widely between updated hobby farms and older working setups.

Common questions

About horse properties in Richmond.

How much acreage do I need in Richmond to keep horses?

Richmond City allows livestock on properties of roughly one acre or more in most residential ag zones, with stocking limits tied to lot size. For two horses with turnout, most local owners want at least 2–3 usable acres of pasture plus a dry lot for winter. Larger working setups on 10+ acres are common just outside city limits in unincorporated Cache County.

Do Richmond horse properties usually come with water rights?

Often yes, but always verify. Many parcels carry shares in Richmond Irrigation Company or High Creek Irrigation, which deliver pressurized or flood irrigation during the April–October season. Culinary water comes from Richmond City or a private well. Get the share certificates and well log in writing before closing — water is frequently worth more than the barn.

What's the typical price range for a horse property in Richmond?

As of recent sales, smaller 1–3 acre horse setups with a modest home tend to run in the mid $500Ks to low $700Ks, while updated homes on 5–20 acres with quality barns and arenas push from the $800Ks into the $1.5M+ range. Bare land with water shares trades separately and varies widely by location and ditch access.

Is there good trail riding near Richmond?

Yes — High Creek Canyon and Cherry Creek trailheads sit right at the east edge of town and lead into the Bear River Range and Cache National Forest. Riders also haul to Tony Grove, Franklin Basin, and the Idaho side of the range. Many properties on the bench can ride out the back gate onto forest service ground.

What outbuildings should I expect on these listings?

Common setups include a pole barn or loafing shed, two to six stalls, a tack room, hay storage, pipe or no-climb fencing, and frost-free stock waterers. Covered arenas and roundpens show up on higher-end properties. Older farmsteads sometimes have dairy-era barns that need work but offer huge usable square footage.

How's the winter for keeping horses up here?

Cache Valley winters are real — expect snow on the ground from December through February and overnight lows below zero a handful of nights each year. Most owners run heated automatic waterers, blanket sensitive horses, and feed more hay than they would farther south. Pastures go dormant, so winter feed budgeting matters when you tour properties.
