Land With Water Rights for Sale

Water rights can make your land far more valuable—especially in Utah. Whether you're planning to farm, homestead, or just secure a long-term resource, buying land with water rights gives you flexibility and future potential. We offer parcels across Utah with deeded water, surface rights, or nearby access to irrigation sources.

Land with Water Rights

In the western U.S., land and water are legally separate—owning land doesn’t always mean you can use the water that flows through or near it. Buying land with water rights ensures you have access to what you need for growing, building, or maintaining long-term value.

Benefits of Buying Land With Water Rights

  • Irrigate crops, orchards, or gardens legally

  • Use water for livestock or small-scale farming

  • Secure future value in drought-prone areas

  • Greater resale potential and land use flexibility

Types of Water Rights For Land

  • Expansive open land with no fences, or neighbors, showcasing wide skies and rugged Utah terrain.

    Deeded Water Rights

    These are rights tied directly to the land and recorded with the state. If included, you’ll be able to legally divert and use water from a source such as a stream, ditch, or well.

  • Large off-grid property surrounded by open space and natural scenery, offering complete privacy.

    Irrigation Shares or Co-Op Access

    Some Utah parcels come with irrigation shares through a local water company or co-op. These shares entitle you to use a set amount of water each season.

  • Rustic off-grid homestead with a garden, ideal for self-sufficient living.

    Well Access or Permits

    Depending on zoning and aquifer access, you may be able to drill a well. Some parcels come with existing wells or active permits, reducing startup costs.

  • Mountains West Ranches Fruitland office, where buyers can explore flexible financing options for off-grid land.

    Surface Water or Spring Access

    Some lots border seasonal creeks or have spring access. Even without deeded rights, this can be useful for off-grid living or animal watering—depending on local laws.

What to Consider When Buying Land With Water Rights

  • Location and Source Reliability

    Water rights vary widely depending on the county, elevation, and source. We’ll help you understand how reliable the water is and how long the season lasts.

  • Intended Use

    Water rights are often limited to agricultural or livestock use. Domestic or culinary use usually requires a separate right or permit.

  • Maintenance and Delivery

    Irrigation ditches, pipelines, and access points may require upkeep. Ask what infrastructure already exists and who maintains it.

  • Legal Transfer and Verification

    We work with title companies to verify that any water rights are transferable, current, and recorded properly with the Utah Division of Water Rights.
