Land & Ranch, the Wasatch Back way
I sell the ground between Park City and Kamas, and I've done it for more than 20 years: acreage, farms, ranches, equestrian estates, legacy holdings, and building sites across Summit, Wasatch, Utah, and Salt Lake Counties. I'm an Associate Broker with eXp Realty's Land & Ranch division, and I'd rather walk your dirt with you than send a spreadsheet. Water rights, irrigation shares, wells, zoning, access: we sort the real stuff first.

The pasture math
Two baby goats is officially a start, not a herd. Give it a spring.
Room to breathe
Trade the city noise
for open sky
City noise wearing thin? Out here the sound system is wind through the pines and the occasional lowing across the pasture. Nobody blasts a subwoofer at 2 a.m., because there's nobody within earshot to complain.
Whether you're after a few acres to spread out, a spot to park a tiny home, or pasture big enough that two baby goats feels like a proper herd, the right piece of ground is the one that fits how you actually want to live, not the one with the best listing photos.
I sort the water, the access, and the zoning before you fall for the view. The fun part comes after: walking your dirt, staking the barn site, and figuring out where the goats go.

The short version
Boots on
the dirt
More than 20 years in Utah real estate, and I've worked it from every chair: real estate COO, managing broker, and now the one I like best, Associate Broker with eXp Realty's Land & Ranch division. I'm a published Inman contributor and a national educator who has trained thousands of real estate professionals.
The polish is for other people. Here, it's ranch-kitchen honesty: candid guidance, deep local knowledge, and steady support from the first conversation through closing. If you want the truth about a piece of ground, you get it, with the coffee still hot.

The honest truth
Half the good ground out here never hits the listings. If you have a valley in mind, ask. I know whose hay meadow is whose.

Water Rights in Utah: First in Time, First in Right
In Utah, water is public property and the state decides who gets to use it. Here is what "first in time, first in right" means for your land purchase.

Irrigation Shares: What Your Canal Company Stock Actually Buys
Much of the greenest ground in the Heber and Kamas valleys is watered by canal companies, not wells. The shares are personal property, and they do not transfer with the deed.

Wells: Permit First, Drill Second
You need a valid water right before you drill a well in Utah. Here is how well permits, start cards, and closed basins actually work.

Get in the Jeep
The best way to understand Wasatch Back land is from the front seat of the Gladiator, with the winch on and the coffee in the cup holder. We drive the roads, walk the ditches, and talk water rights where the water actually runs. Thirty minutes, no dust in your coffee, and you will know more about the ground than most buyers learn in a month.
