Homes with Acreage for Sale in Stockton, Utah
Stockton sits at the south end of Rush Valley in Tooele County, about 45 minutes from the Salt Lake City airport once you clear the Oquirrh Mountains via SR-36. It's a small town of roughly 700 people surrounded by open range, BLM land, and the Stansbury Mountains to the west — which is exactly why buyers come here looking for acreage. Lots of one to five acres are common inside town limits, and parcels of 10, 20, or 40+ acres show up regularly on the outskirts toward Ophir Canyon and Vernon. Zoning is friendlier to horses, outbuildings, and livestock than anything you'll find closer to Salt Lake, and water rights still trade hands with some of the larger properties.
The trade-off for that space is rural infrastructure: most acreage parcels run on private wells and septic, propane heat is common, and high-speed internet depends on where you sit relative to the fiber buildout along SR-36. Winters are cold and dry with snow that blows across the valley, summers are hot but low-humidity, and the night skies are dark enough that astronomy hobbyists actively shop here. Prices generally run well below Tooele or Grantsville for comparable land, though anything with a producing well, established pasture, or a shop tends to move quickly.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Stockton.
How much land do Stockton acreage listings typically include? ▾
Most in-town acreage parcels run between 1 and 5 acres, while properties on the edges of town or out toward Rush Valley and Vernon can stretch to 10, 20, 40 acres or more. Larger ranch-style holdings do come up, especially toward the foothills of the Stansburys and Oquirrhs.
Are horses and livestock allowed on Stockton acreage? ▾
Yes — Stockton and the surrounding unincorporated Tooele County areas are zoned to accommodate horses, chickens, goats, and cattle on most acreage lots. Exact animal counts depend on lot size and zoning designation, so confirm with Tooele County Planning before closing if livestock numbers matter to you.
Do these properties have culinary water or wells? ▾
It's a mix. Some lots inside Stockton town limits connect to the municipal system, but most acreage parcels rely on private wells with their own water rights. Larger rural tracts almost always include a well, and water rights are a critical part of the purchase — always verify acre-feet and beneficial use through the Utah Division of Water Rights.
How does pricing compare to Tooele or Grantsville acreage? ▾
Stockton generally prices lower per acre than Tooele or Grantsville because it's smaller, more remote, and further from the I-80 commute. Buyers willing to drive an extra 15-20 minutes often get noticeably more land, a shop, or a better well for the same budget.
What's the commute like to Salt Lake City from Stockton? ▾
Plan on about 50-60 minutes to downtown Salt Lake during normal traffic via SR-36 and I-80, and roughly 45 minutes to the SLC airport. Winter storms over the Oquirrhs can extend that, which is worth factoring in if you commute daily.
Can I build a shop, barn, or ADU on Stockton acreage? ▾
On most acreage parcels, yes — detached shops, barns, loafing sheds, and accessory dwellings are common and generally allowed with proper permits. Setbacks, height limits, and septic capacity will drive what's feasible, so pull the parcel's zoning and existing septic specs early in your due diligence.
