Homes with Acreage for Sale in Roosevelt, Utah
Roosevelt sits in the heart of the Uintah Basin, about two and a half hours east of Salt Lake City on US-40, and acreage here looks nothing like what you'd find along the Wasatch Front. Lots of 1 to 40+ acres are common, water rights tied to the Lake Fork and Yellowstone river systems often come with the land, and zoning through Duchesne County tends to be permissive about horses, chickens, outbuildings, and small-scale hay operations. Buyers come for the combination of space and price — you can still find a 5-acre parcel with a modest house under $500K in most of the surrounding county, something that's essentially gone from Heber, Kamas, or even Vernal at this point.
The lifestyle is genuinely rural: alfalfa fields, oilfield service work tied to the basin's energy economy, big skies, and weather that swings from sub-zero January inversions to dry 90-degree summers. Most acreage properties run on well and septic rather than municipal water and sewer, so checking water-share documentation and irrigation timing is part of due diligence here in a way it isn't in town. Schools fall under the Duchesne County School District, and Roosevelt itself has the basin's main hospital, grocery stores, and a regional airport for general aviation. Browse the active acreage listings below to see what's currently on the market, and reach out if you want help sorting through water rights or septic records on a specific parcel.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Roosevelt.
How much land do acreage listings in Roosevelt typically include? ▾
Most acreage properties around Roosevelt fall between 1 and 10 acres, with a smaller pool of larger ranches in the 20 to 160-acre range out toward Neola, Myton, and Altamont. Parcels under 5 acres are often residential with room for horses or a shop, while anything over 10 acres usually includes irrigation rights and hay ground.
Do these properties usually come with water rights? ▾
Many do, but not all. Irrigation shares tied to Moon Lake Water Users Association or the Uintah Indian Irrigation Project are common on agricultural parcels, and they transfer separately from the deed in some cases. Always ask for the water-share certificate and confirm the delivery schedule before writing an offer.
Can I keep horses, cattle, or other livestock on acreage near Roosevelt? ▾
Yes, in almost all cases. Duchesne County zoning outside city limits is agricultural or rural-residential, and livestock is expected rather than restricted. Inside Roosevelt city limits the rules tighten, so confirm the specific zoning on any parcel that sits close to town.
Are most acreage homes on well and septic? ▾
Outside the city core, yes — culinary wells and conventional septic systems are the norm. Lenders will typically require a well flow test and a septic inspection during the contract period, and it's worth asking how deep the well is and what the static water level looks like through the irrigation season.
What's the price range for acreage homes in Roosevelt right now? ▾
As a rough guide, smaller acreage homes (1-3 acres) tend to list in the $350K-$550K range, while larger working parcels with shops, barns, or substantial water rights can run $700K to well over $1M. The active listings below show current pricing, which moves with the basin's oil and gas economy.
How far is Roosevelt from Salt Lake City and the nearest major airport? ▾
Roosevelt is roughly 150 miles from Salt Lake City via US-40, about a 2.5-hour drive in good weather. The Roosevelt Municipal Airport handles general aviation, and Vernal Regional sits 30 miles east, but commercial flights still mean a trip to SLC.
