Colorado farm real estate averages $2,290 an acre (USDA, 2025), which ranks 44 of 48 states, well below the national average, among the cheapest farmland in the country. Raw and rural parcels usually trade below that.
According to the USDA's 2025 land value survey, the average value of farm real estate in Colorado is $2,290 per acre. That is the all in average across land and buildings, so vacant, wooded or recreational ground typically sells for less per acre, while small buildable lots near a town can sell for more. It sits below Nebraska ($4,250) but above Wyoming ($1,000) next door. Colorado is in the West. Much of the acreage out here is grazing, recreational or remote ground, where access, water and usable terrain swing value more than the state average suggests.
Smaller parcels carry a higher price per acre than large blocks, the same land just costs more by the piece. Rough ranges for raw or rural Colorado land:
| Parcel size | Per acre | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| 1 acre | $2,200/ac | $1,600 to $2,900 |
| 5 acres | $1,600/ac | $5,900 to $10,300 |
| 10 acres | $1,400/ac | $10,300 to $17,900 |
| 40 acres | $1,100/ac | $33,800 to $58,600 |
| 160 acres | $934/ac | $112,100 to $194,300 |
Land use changes the number sharply. Rough per acre figures for a 10 acre parcel in Colorado:
| Land type | Per acre |
|---|---|
| Recreational / hunting | $1,300/ac |
| Rural homesite | $1,800/ac |
| Pasture / grazing | $1,000/ac |
| Cropland (tillable) | $2,900/ac |
