The local read
Under $1M is where half-acre lots begin
In shortA $1M cap is where Riverton's half-acre lots come into view. They line Redwood Road on the east side, which makes it the horse property side of town. Riverton's typical home is valued near $592,700 (Census ACS, 2020 to 2024). The list starts with the priciest homes and comes live from the MLS.
Half-acre lots with animal rights still line Redwood Road on the east side. The RR-22 zone sets a half acre as the smallest lot. Zoning and animal rights depend on the parcel, so check each address before you count on horses.
Space is the point of this page. A half-acre lot has room for a shop, an RV garage or a barn, though all accessory buildings together may cover no more than 10% of the lot. On a half acre, that is up to 2,178 square feet.
Some half-acre owners have asked the city to rezone for smaller homes. Before you buy, check what the city has approved next door, since new houses could rise beside you.
Custom and estate-size homes begin on the over $1M page. Want the whole city? Read the Riverton guide. Want to talk it through? Share your wish list with me.

What the money buys
What the money buys, hold, stretch, or step down and the towns next door
What the money buys
Under $1M brings three kinds of space
Space is the common thread: a big lot, a big building on the lot, or a big house with a garage to match.
Half-acre lots on the east side
Lots in the RR-22 zone start at a half acre. Many sit along Redwood Road, near City Hall and Riverton City Park.
The catch: animal rights depend on the parcel and the zone. What you get: room for horses where the parcel allows them.
Homes with a shop, RV garage or barn
Accessory buildings together may cover up to 10% of the lot. On a half-acre lot, that is up to 2,178 square feet of shop, garage or barn.
The catch: the limit covers all buildings combined. What you get: room for tools, a trailer or a hobby.
Large houses with a three-car garage
Big floor plans with a garage for three cars. The garage does not tell you the lot size, so check the lot as well as the house. The 3-car garage homes page lists more.
The catch: a large house costs more to heat and cool. What you get: indoor room for cars, tools and storage.
A half-acre lot is rarer than a standard lot, so some weeks show none. The Riverton Homes for Sale page lists everything on the market, and the horse property page narrows to lots that allow animals.

Buying land and outbuildings
A four-step play
A four-step play
Four steps for land and outbuildings
A big lot adds checks that a regular lot does not. These four steps cover them.
Check the zone and animal rights
Zones and animal rights depend on the parcel. Ask the city for both before you count on horses or on a second building.
Measure the buildings you want
Add up the shop, the RV garage and any barn before you fall for a lot. Together they may cover only 10% of it.
See what the neighbors may build
Ask the city what it has approved next door, and picture a smaller house beside yours.
Walk the lot lines
Walk the lot with the listing in hand. Look at fences, gates and the driveway, and ask a partner agent about a survey. Then read the buying process and the art of the offer.

Quick answers
Under $1M in Riverton, answered
It can be. Low ground along the river can have loose, wet soil. Ask for a geotechnical report, which is a study of the soil, on any home on low ground.
Maybe. Animal rights depend on the parcel and the zone, so check them with the city before you count on horses.
Yes. The city council denied the Timberline townhome project on Redwood Road, 4 to 1, on September 1, 2026.
Possibly. Some owners of half-acre lots along Redwood Road have asked the city to rezone for smaller homes. Check what the city has approved next door before you buy.
On the over $1M page. This page holds half-acre lots and large houses, and that page holds custom-built and estate-size homes.
Short-term rentals need a conditional use permit from the city, and a big lot does not change that. Ask the city before you buy a home for that use.

Referral disclosure. Outside Southern Utah, I connect home sellers and buyers with partner agents I trust in their area. If you choose to work with an agent I refer, that agent's brokerage pays my brokerage (Real Broker, LLC) a referral fee. The fee comes out of the agent's compensation; it is not an added cost to you.
