Obviously one acre is more expensive than 100 acres divided by 100.

And a per acre price is even less for 800 acres.

I will start.

9.7 Acres in Sumter County Georgia cost me $14,000 in 1996. The land was nondescript. The land is probably worth less today than it was previously because of epic Democratic failures in that County.

My 0.11 acre lot in Northern Virginia is probably worth $115k... making one full acre in the area north of a mil.

Sold 42 acres in Ohio for $4,500 per acre. Crop rent was $200/year on 40 tillable.

That kinda thing.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

156 acres next to me is for sale for $4500/acre. It’s nothing but bad fences, hedge, blackberry Brambles and sumac. But it’s 3 miles off the main “city” bypass and covered up in deer. If I only had $750,000....

10 acres 2 properties west of me sold for $10k/acre. Just clean grass, but the guy that bought it used it to connect two of his places.

As you said, it depends. The Mennonites here have paid as high as $14,000 an acre for farmland. If you take the Mennonite and Amish equation out of it, prime farmland would probably be worth half that .

As far as residential or commercial goes, I have no idea, as it's pretty much worth whatever you can get out of it, and it's always the old location location, location thing that determines the price.

Farming is about done in these parts.

So you have grown up fields.

Or timber land that was cut by crackhead kids and never replanted.

“Worthless” land Around here is about $1k. Pasture land and timber goes for more.

We are rural. No big cities. Work is 30mins to hour away.

We hunt on friends land, 180 acres, located in a very expensive area surrounded my National Park land, about all it's good for is hunting and hiking due to the extreme contours of the land (steep hills and valleys) it has two small pothole lakes (a couple of acres each). It's on the market now for 2.7 million, that's about $15,000 an acre.
If you're looking for an acre of land with water front you're looking at between 200 & 300 K just for the lot, more if it's on Lake Michigan.
A 100' x 150' subdivision lot with utilities will run 35K and up depending on location.
Straight farm land in 100 acre lots will be $3000/acre

Pffff, around here it's sold by the square inch.

Just a few years ago, I bought a house on a 9500 foot square lot for $500,000 and promptly hit it the head with an excavator.

Well, I did build another one that I sold for 1.7m.


I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

I have a 3/4 acre lot in a nice suburb of the twin cities.

Without my house/shop the lot itself would be somewhere around 300-350k.

Land in a good location is ridiculous here.

Lot on the island here runs about that. 200-300 thousand for a lot.

Nice acre to build on in my county goes between 10-15k. Buddy just scored 10 acres for 78k, but its just a big hill but has a great hardwood bottom with creek.

Solar panel folks are buying stuff up, we sold 70 acres of old cutover that was only good for some ok deer hunting for $6250 an acre recently. The neighbors behind that property only offered us 1500 an acre a few years prior for it.

Minor plat, small deeded plots 20 miles from Clarksville (bigger than Billings) 1.5 acres is the minimum buildable

With only municipal water, run 35-60 K



Raw land same distance from the city center, >100 acres runs about 7000k to 12k an acre.
Just depends if you want scrubby, timber raped, hilly, ravines

Or do you want some green pasture, clear streams, some caves and springs and a 1/2 of it mature timber.

Varies a lot. Last good sized farm brought 18,000 an acre. Guy that bought it doesn't farm. Woodland about 10k an acre

A 20 acre parcel of cutover rural timberland on a paved road with utilities, suitable for a house place, is going to run you around $2,500 to $4,000 per acre in the area where I live, which is about 20 minutes outside of town. If it's a bigger tract with minimal access, no utilities, and is just timberland/hunting property (upland/mixed cutover), it'll run you about half that per acre, give or take. If it's that same 20 acres, but only 5-10 minutes from town, it might be $4,000 to $5,000 an acre.

I'm pretty much done with subdivision life, as we sold the house and moved to the woods last year. Like the song says, it's "The woman and the kids and the dogs and me". Would be tough to go back.

We bought our 275 acre wooded property for $1100/acre in 2002. A neighbor just sold similar land for $3,000/acre.
