Best Areas to Find Utah Ranches for Sale

While ranch properties can be found all over the great state of Utah, there are a few different areas that generally offer ranches best suited to specific purposes. While any land purchase in this picturesque state is a great investment, your exact location needs may vary depending on what type of ranch you are looking to buy and how close to populated urban areas you wish to be. If you aren’t yet sure exactly what you’re looking for, let’s take a quick run-through of the available offerings.

Northeastern Utah

Ideal for those seeking easy access to and from Salt Lake City, the northeastern portion of the state is home to many cattle, equestrian and agricultural ranches. The area is also known for its natural scenery and beauty. Many properties are located near the Strawberry, Starvation, and Currant Creek Reservoirs. Fly fishing opportunities abound, and many fishing ranches are available near the Provo, Logan, and Green rivers. The area’s mountainous terrain is also ideal for recreational activities such as mountain biking, hiking, and skiing. World-class hunting is also available the closer one gets to the Wyoming and Colorado borders.

Southwestern Utah

Adjacent to Zion National Park, the southwestern part of Utah is ideal for those seeking their dream home in an area of unparalleled natural beauty. Southern Utah is less developed than northern Utah and is home to many national parks and forests. Ranches in the southwestern portion of the state tend to be ideal for hunting and fly fishing properties due to the abundance of untouched wildlife.

Central Utah

Comprised of Utah, Salt Lake and Davis counties, this portion of the state is home to beautiful mountainous topography and many large acreage properties. Many of these ranches are ideal for horses and agricultural activities. If you are looking for a ranch to be your primary residence or raise a family, a land purchase from this region would be a great choice. Being the home to Salt Lake City, the central Utah region offers the best access to the amenities of a large population center.

Northwestern Utah

Also offering easy access to and from the big city, ranches in this part of the state tend to be recreational, equestrian, or residential properties. Larger acreage can be a bit harder to come by and smaller properties are more abundant in this region. This portion of Utah is best for those seeking an affordable, turnkey ranch property to call home. However, the closer one gets to the border of Nevada or Idaho, the more isolated the land gets. It’s probably a good idea to look closer to Salt Lake City if you wish to make the property your primary residence.
