Louisiana farm real estate averages $3,850 an acre (USDA, 2025), which ranks 32 of 48 states, close to the national average. 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 Louisiana is $3,850 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 Arkansas ($4,250) but above Texas ($2,970) next door. Louisiana is in the South. Timber, pasture and recreational tracts are common, and road access plus buildability move price as much as soil does.
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 Louisiana land:
| Parcel size | Per acre | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| 1 acre | $3,700/ac | $2,800 to $4,800 |
| 5 acres | $2,700/ac | $10,000 to $17,300 |
| 10 acres | $2,300/ac | $17,300 to $30,000 |
| 40 acres | $1,900/ac | $56,800 to $98,500 |
| 160 acres | $1,600/ac | $188,500 to $326,700 |
