Homes on acreage in Farr West.

Farr West homes on the larger former-farm lots of north Weber County, fed straight from the MLS and sorted newest first, with a clear read on the homework that decides what that land can really do: two separate water systems, the secondary irrigation shares that do not always convey, Central Weber sewer versus septic on the edges, and what the zoning allows.

The newest acreage listings.

Fed straight from the local MLS and filtered toward the larger lots and former farm ground: new Farr West listings appear here as they hit the market, and sold homes drop off. The local read on the two water systems, the shares, the sewer-or-septic line, and the zoning is just below, and on Farr West acreage it matters far more than the photos.

Acreage is the signature of a town that is still mostly farm ground filling in with subdivisions, and Farr West runs right-sized parcels rather than big ranches, so the count is naturally lean and real land moves. Tell me the lot size and what you want the land to do and I will have the Farr West-area partner agent I work with watch the farm flats and flag the next parcel that fits, with the water, the shares, the sewer-or-septic setup, and the zoning pulled before you tour.

The local read


What acreage really means in Farr West.

Farr West is a north Weber County city that is still mostly transitioning from farm ground to subdivision, sitting on the flat former farmland northwest of Ogden, and that is exactly why real acreage is still here when it has dried up in the tighter subdivisions of Roy, Clinton, and North Ogden next door. Set expectations honestly, though: this is right-sized acreage, not a ranch. Where Hooper out west keeps multi-acre parcels, Farr West runs more sub-acre to a few-acre lots, the larger-lot rural-residential edges of a former farm town. On this page, acreage means the point where a lot starts doing something a standard subdivision parcel cannot: a shop or a hay barn, a garden, room for the RV and the trailer, a few animals where the zoning allows, or simply open ground that is yours. It concentrates on the city's agricultural-legacy edges and on the original farm grid in the 2700 North and 1900 West vicinity, the oldest part of town, where larger legacy parcels and remnant farm acreage still carry agricultural land use.

The first thing to settle on any of it is the water, and Farr West is the place where that gets real, because most of this ground carries two separate water systems and two separate bills. Culinary, the water you drink, comes from the Bona Vista Water Improvement District. The secondary or pressurized irrigation water, the water that keeps a lawn, a garden, or a pasture alive, comes from Pineview Water Systems or from Mountain View Irrigation, depending on the parcel. Many homes carry both a culinary account and a separate secondary account, so a single property can have two water bills. The load-bearing question on acreage is whether the secondary irrigation shares actually convey with the sale, because they do not always. A former farm parcel can change hands with its irrigation water gone, and a green pasture today can be a dry one next spring. Ask, plainly and in writing, which secondary supplier serves the parcel and what conveys with it.

The other land questions follow close behind the water. Wastewater is address-specific: most of Farr West is served by the Central Weber Sewer Improvement District, but some edge and acreage lots sit on septic until a public main reaches them, and a sewer connection is generally required when a main runs within roughly 300 feet, so confirm what serves the parcel and what a connection would cost. What the zoning actually lets you build or keep, including animals, is set by the zone and not by the lot size: Farr West has three residential zones, two of which permit agriculture, so confirm the exact zone and its allowances with Farr West City before you plan a shop, a second structure, or livestock. One thing Farr West makes simpler than its western neighbor Hooper is jurisdiction. The city sits wholly in Weber County, with no county-line straddle, so there is no Weber-versus-Davis wrinkle to untangle here. And walk for how much of the acreage is usable rather than slope, easement, or shared driveway. On price, land carries the value in Farr West, so a home on a real larger lot usually lists above the same house on a standard parcel, and because the larger lots and newer construction push the whole market up, this is one of the higher north-Weber towns.

If the draw is space and what you can do with it more than a specific parcel, start with the larger and premium homes at the larger-lot end of the market, the RV-parking lots with side-yard room for the trailer or the boat, the lots with no restrictions where you have the most freedom to add a shop, or the three-car-garage homes when the storage matters more than the open ground. You can also browse every Farr West listing. When a parcel with real land catches your eye, reach out and the local partner agent will pull the plat, both water accounts and whether the secondary shares convey, the sewer-or-septic setup, and the zone before you write a thing. Water questions out here are title questions, and they get answered before the offer, not after.

What to read on a Farr West larger lot

  • Two water systems, two bills: culinary water comes from the Bona Vista Water Improvement District; secondary or irrigation water for the yard and pasture comes from Pineview Water Systems or Mountain View Irrigation, depending on the parcel. Many properties carry both accounts, so confirm which secondary supplier serves the parcel and, on acreage, whether the irrigation shares convey, because they do not always.

  • Central Weber sewer or septic: most of Farr West is on the Central Weber Sewer Improvement District, but some edge and former-farm lots are on septic until a main reaches them. A public connection is generally required when a main is within about 300 feet, so ask what serves the parcel and what a connection would cost.

  • Zoning and use: what you can build, keep, or run, including animals, is set by the zone, not the lot size. Farr West has three residential zones, two of which permit agriculture, so confirm the exact zone and its allowances with Farr West City before you plan a shop, a casita, or livestock.

  • Right-sized, not a ranch: Farr West acreage runs sub-acre to a few acres, the larger-lot edges of a former farm town, not the multi-acre ranches you find farther out. Read the lot for how much is usable versus slope, easement, or shared driveway, because deed acreage and buildable acreage can be two different numbers.

Acreage in Farr West crosses former farm ground where the rules change parcel by parcel. The culinary water service from Bona Vista, the secondary or irrigation shares from Pineview Water Systems or Mountain View Irrigation (which do not always convey with the sale), whether a parcel is connected to the Central Weber sewer or sits on septic, and the zoning and any animal or use allowances all vary by property and are not guaranteed by the listing. Verify every one of them independently, in writing, with the Bona Vista Water Improvement District, the correct secondary supplier, the Central Weber Sewer Improvement District, Farr West City Planning and Zoning, and the Utah Division of Water Rights, and in the title work, before you write an offer.

The local map


Where the bigger lots actually are.

Acreage in Farr West follows the farm ground that has not been subdivided yet: the legacy parcels on the old grid and the rural-residential edges. Here is where the larger lots concentrate, with the reminder that the two water systems, the shares, the sewer-or-septic line, and the zoning are what really matter.

The historic farm core on the old grid

The original agricultural community, on the numbered-street grid around the 2700 North and 1900 West vicinity near the civic center, holds larger legacy parcels and established homes where farm heritage still shapes the lot sizes. Build era is the oldest in town, so inspect the bones and the updates, and confirm both water accounts and whether the parcel is on Central Weber sewer or septic.

The agricultural-legacy edges

On the city's rural-residential edges, larger lots and remnant farm acreage still carry agricultural land use, and this is where the room for a shop, a barn, or animals lives. The secondary water shares, the sewer-or-septic setup, and the zoning's animal allowance decide value parcel by parcel, and the shares do not always convey, so verify all three before you plan around the land.

The newer subdivisions on former farm parcels

The wave of newer single-family streets that roughly quadrupled the city since its 1980 incorporation sits on former farm ground, and many of these yards still run on secondary irrigation water. Lots here are more standard to finance and inspect than the old farmsteads, but they trend smaller, so if a true larger lot is the goal, read the parcel size carefully and confirm both water accounts per address.

The open ground toward the freeway side

Toward the I-15 and 1900 to 2000 West corridor, open former-farm land sits next to the city's commercial and distribution footprint. Some larger parcels turn up out here, but the land use shifts fast along the freeway, so confirm the zone, what is platted nearby, and what water serves a parcel before the open ground sells you.

The transitional in-between streets

Across much of Farr West, larger legacy lots sit a block or two from newer subdivision phases, the visible seam of a town still filling in. That mix is the opportunity and the homework at once: a bigger parcel next to new construction can be a fine buy, but confirm the zone, the water, and the sewer-or-septic line on the specific lot rather than the street.

The septic-edge parcels

Where the Central Weber sewer main has not yet reached, some edge and acreage lots are still on septic. That is workable, but it is its own homework: ask the system's age and condition and whether a main is within reach, because a connection is generally required when one runs within about 300 feet, and that changes the cost of the lot.

Before you tour acreage: what to actually check

The two water systems: confirm the culinary provider, the Bona Vista Water Improvement District, and the secondary or irrigation provider, Pineview Water Systems or Mountain View Irrigation, separately. Then ask the load-bearing question on acreage: do the secondary irrigation shares convey with the land? In this farm country that is the difference between affordable green pasture and a dry one, and shares do not always transfer.

Central Weber sewer or septic: most of Farr West is on the Central Weber Sewer Improvement District, but some edge and former-farm parcels are on septic. Ask the septic's age and condition and whether a sewer main is within reach, because a connection is generally required when one runs within about 300 feet, and that changes the cost.

The zone and its allowances: what you can build, keep, or run, including animals, is set by the zone, not the lot size. Farr West has three residential zones, two of which permit agriculture, so confirm the exact zone with Farr West City, especially if a shop, a second structure, or livestock is the plan.

Usable vs. total acreage: walk the lot for slope, easements, and access. The deed acreage and the buildable, fenceable acreage can be two different numbers, and a flag-lot or shared driveway changes what you really own. On right-sized parcels, every usable foot counts.

The bones and the structures: on former farmsteads, inspect the home's age and updates, and check any shop, barn, or outbuilding for permits and power. Older acreage homes carry character and deferred maintenance in equal measure, so price the condition, not the photos.

What conveys with the land: beyond the water shares, confirm in writing what else conveys: any outbuildings, fencing, and access rights. On former farm ground the parcel record and the title work tell the truth, not the listing description, so read both before the offer.

Quick answers


Acreage shopping, answered.

On this page it means a home on a larger lot, genuinely bigger than a standard subdivision parcel, most often former north-Weber farm ground. Set expectations honestly: this is right-sized acreage, sub-acre to a few acres, the larger-lot rural-residential edges of a transitioning farm town, not the multi-acre ranches you find farther west. It concentrates on the agricultural-legacy edges and the original farm grid, and the live listings above are the honest count on any given week, because the market here runs thin.

This is the question that matters most on a larger lot here, because most Farr West ground carries two separate water systems and two separate bills. Culinary water, the water you drink, comes from the Bona Vista Water Improvement District. Secondary or pressurized irrigation water, for the lawn, garden, and pasture, comes from Pineview Water Systems or Mountain View Irrigation, depending on the parcel. The load-bearing question on acreage is whether the secondary irrigation shares convey with the sale, because they do not always. I will dig into both accounts and the shares the moment a parcel interests you.

It depends on the parcel, and it is worth confirming early. Most of Farr West is served by the Central Weber Sewer Improvement District, but some edge and former-farm lots are on septic until a main reaches them. A public-sewer connection is generally required when a main runs within about 300 feet, so the wastewater setup is address-specific. Verify it per parcel rather than assuming from the area, and the local partner agent will check whether a sewer main is even within reach before you tour.

That is set by the parcel's zoning and animal allowance, not by the lot size alone. Farr West has three residential zones, and two of them permit agriculture, so animal-friendly parcels genuinely exist on the agricultural-legacy edges, but you still confirm the zone, the animal allowance, setbacks for shelter, fencing, and the secondary water before you count on it. Tell me what you have in mind and the local partner agent will verify the zoning with Farr West City on any home before you tour.

No, and that is one thing Farr West makes simpler. The city sits wholly in Weber County, with no county-line straddle, so unlike Hooper to the west there is no Weber-versus-Davis wrinkle to untangle on a parcel near a line. Your homework here is the water, the sewer-or-septic setup, and the zoning, not which county governs the lot, which keeps the title work cleaner on a larger parcel.

Tell me the lot size and what you want to do with the land, and which part of Farr West you like, and I will connect you with a Farr West-area partner agent who watches the farm flats, then flag matches as they go live, usually the same morning, with the plat, both water accounts and whether the secondary shares convey, the sewer-or-septic setup, and the zone pulled so we know what you are really buying. Pair that with a pre-approval and you can move on real land before the weekend crowd.
